Generative Engine Optimization.
Make your brand discoverable in AI-driven search engines. Stevin helps you optimise content and structure for LLM answers.
What is Generative Engine Optimisation?
GEO is optimising your content and site structure so AI systems can find, understand and cite your information. Where SEO is about positions in search results, GEO is about being present in the answers AI generates.
AI search engines work differently from traditional search engines. They read your content, assess your authority and decide whether your information is trustworthy enough to cite. That requires a different approach than just ranking on keywords.
Traditional search engines
Display a list of links. The user clicks through and reads your page. Success = high position and high click-through rate.
AI search experiences
Generate a direct answer based on multiple sources. The user reads the answer without always clicking through. Success = being cited as a trusted source.
Why GEO is needed alongside classic SEO
Classic SEO remains important, but it's no longer enough. A growing share of searches is answered by AI without the user clicking through. If you're not visible there, you're missing an increasingly large portion of your potential audience.
AI Overviews in Google
Google increasingly shows AI-generated summaries at the top of search results. Content that doesn't appear there becomes less visible, regardless of your organic position.
Direct answers via ChatGPT and Perplexity
More people are searching via AI tools instead of Google. These tools cite sources, but only if your content is well-structured and trustworthy.
Fewer click-throughs
Users get their answer without visiting your site. You need to be visible in the answer as a brand and source, not just in the search results below it.
Competitive advantage
Most businesses are still only optimising for classic SEO. Those who invest in GEO now are building a lead that's hard to close.
How we optimise your content and site structure for AI
GEO is not a trick or quick fix. It requires a structural approach to your content, technical setup and authority. We build that in five layers.
Clear, citable answers
Content that directly answers the questions of your target audience. No vague narrative, but concrete information that AI systems can extract and cite.
Logical internal link structure
A site structure that helps AI systems understand how your content relates. Clear hierarchy, contextual links and navigation that makes the relationship between topics explicit.
Structured data and schema markup
Technical markup that helps AI systems classify your content: FAQ schema, organisation information, product and service descriptions in a format machines can directly process.
Authority through content clusters
In-depth content around your core topics, organised in clusters. AI systems assess not just individual pages, but your total authority on a topic. Clusters build that authority.
Consistent brand presentation
Bringing your brand name, expertise and proposition back consistently in your content. So AI systems recognise you as an authority and mention your brand in their answers.
