AI Landscape Audit
We query AI systems across your target categories to map which brands get cited, how, and why — establishing your current AI share of voice vs. competitors.
Search is shifting. ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Gemini now answer millions of queries directly. Lumo's GEO practice positions your brand as the authority these AI systems cite — putting you in front of buyers before they ever click a link.
The New Search Frontier
Google AI Overviews now appear on more than 30% of US search queries. ChatGPT handles 100 million daily conversations. Perplexity's user base is doubling every quarter. These AI systems are replacing the first page of search for millions of intent-driven queries — and if your brand isn't in their training signals, you're invisible.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of structuring your brand's content, authority signals, and entity relationships so that large language models select you as the trusted source. Unlike traditional SEO which fights for blue link real estate, GEO fights for AI citation — the new zero-click brand impression that drives trust at the top of the funnel.
Lumo's GEO team maps every relevant query your buyers ask AI systems. We then reverse-engineer what content structure, entity signals, and authority markers those AI systems are using to select citations — and we build or optimize content to win those slots. Our clients see their brands mentioned in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT responses, Perplexity answers, and Gemini outputs across their target query sets.
GEO is not a future consideration. It's a present competitive advantage for businesses that move now, before their category becomes saturated with AI-optimized content. The window to establish AI authority in your niche is open — and narrowing fast.

Common Questions
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. It is the practice of optimizing your brand's content, authority signals, and entity relationships so that large language models and AI systems — including Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — cite your brand in their generated responses. It is the emerging discipline alongside traditional SEO.
Traditional SEO focuses on ranking your web pages in organic search listings. GEO focuses on ensuring AI systems reference your brand, quote your content, and recommend your services in conversational AI-generated answers. The signals differ: GEO emphasizes entity authority, structured data, E-E-A-T signals, and content that answers specific queries definitively.
Yes. Google AI Overviews pull citations from high-authority content that directly answers the query. Lumo identifies which AI Overview queries are relevant to your business, audits your existing content against those queries, and creates or optimizes content specifically structured to earn AI Overview citations. Results vary by query competition, but most clients see AI Overview appearances within 60–90 days.
Authoritative long-form content, well-structured FAQ pages, data-backed statistics, definitional content, and comparison pieces tend to be cited most frequently. Entity-rich content that clearly establishes your brand as an expert in a specific domain performs significantly better than generic marketing copy.
We track AI Overview appearances across target queries, brand mention frequency in AI-generated responses using prompt monitoring tools, entity authority growth in Google Search Console, and share of voice in AI results vs. competitors. We report on these metrics monthly alongside your traditional SEO metrics.
