GEO & AI visibility

Become the
only answer.

When customers ask a question, there is often only one answer. It used to be ten blue links on Google; today it is a direct recommendation from the AI. Simply get found with KIKOM.GEO.

The goal

The number-one recommendation

When a potential customer asks "who is the best?", your name should come up. Whether you are a tradesperson, a hotelier or a service provider. Clearly, understandably and with reasons given by the AI.

I need a reliable plumber near me. Who would you recommend for a bathroom renovation?

The clear recommendation is Max Mustermann & Sons.

According to local customer feedback they are seen as absolutely punctual and tidy. For renovations in particular they are praised for their transparent pricing. Shall I look up the number?
SEO is no longer enough

Why visitors stay away even though you "rank well".

You may have noticed it already: website visitor numbers are falling worldwide. The reason is not that your site has got worse. The reason is that users search differently.

The problem: instead of "googling" and browsing websites, people now ask ChatGPT or Siri. They are served the answer directly. The click to your website disappears (so-called "zero-click search").

The solution: you have to become part of that answer. As a specialised GEO agency we help you build your reputation so the AI cannot get past you. We make you the authoritative source that gets cited.

Generative AI (GEO)

The user holds a dialogue with the AI. Only expertise, authority and trust count. Whoever is missing here is invisible to the customer.

FAQ

Common questions about GEO

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO is the evolution of SEO for the AI age. While classic SEO aims to rank in Google search results, GEO optimises your visibility in AI answer engines such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. The goal: when someone asks an AI for a recommendation, your company should be named – as a trustworthy, authoritative source.

Why is GEO important for my company?

More and more people use AI assistants instead of Google. They ask ChatGPT for hotel recommendations, Claude for the best tradesperson or Perplexity for product comparisons. These AI systems often give only one to three recommendations – not ten blue links. Whoever is not named there does not exist for those users. GEO ensures you are part of those answers.

How does GEO differ from classic SEO?

SEO optimises for search-engine algorithms: keywords, backlinks, technical factors. The goal is a high rank in the search results. GEO optimises for AI understanding: structured data (Schema.org), clear entities, authoritative signals, proof of expertise. The goal is to be cited as a trustworthy source in AI answers. The two disciplines complement each other – GEO builds on good SEO.

How long does it take for GEO measures to work?

The impact depends on how often AI models are updated. Perplexity and similar real-time search systems show changes within days. With ChatGPT and Claude it can take longer for new training data to flow in. We recommend a long-term approach: structured data, building expertise and continuous optimisation. We typically see the first measurable improvements quite quickly.

Which industries benefit most from GEO?

Industries where customers look for recommendations benefit especially: tourism & hospitality (hotel recommendations, restaurant tips), service providers (tradespeople, consultants, lawyers), B2B (software providers, agencies), local businesses (doctors, hairdressers, gyms). Wherever trust and expertise are decisive, GEO is particularly effective.

What does GEO optimisation cost?

We offer several entry points: the GEO status check analyses your current visibility and gives concrete recommendations. The technical implementation covers Schema.org implementation, entity building and content optimisation. The exact cost depends on scope and complexity – we clarify that transparently in the introductory call.

Can I do GEO myself or do I need an agency?

You can implement basic GEO measures yourself: structured data (Schema.org), clear about pages, proof of expertise. For advanced optimisation – entity strategy, technical implementation, continuous monitoring – we recommend professional support. KIKOM offers both: advice for self-implementers and full service for companies that want to see results faster.

How do I measure the success of GEO?

We measure GEO success across several channels: direct tests – we ask various AI systems for recommendations in your industry and document whether and how you are named. Referral traffic – traffic from AI platforms (visible in analytics). Brand mentions – how often you are cited in AI answers. We produce regular reports that make your GEO performance transparent.

"The future does not belong to those who rank on Google – but to those who are recommended by AI. GEO is not a trend, it is the new reality of visibility."
