The problem

Your customers stopped clicking links

Google traffic is disappearing

AI Overviews now answer queries directly on the results page. Users get what they need without ever visiting your website – even if you rank #1.

65%
of Google searches end with zero clicks

AI answers replace discovery

When someone asks ChatGPT "which agency should I use?", the AI chooses for them. If your brand isn't in the cited sources, you don't exist.

Classic SEO isn't enough

Traditional keyword rankings don't translate to AI visibility. A page ranked #1 on Google may never appear in an AI response – and vice versa.

Your competitors are already there

Early movers are building AI citations right now. As LLMs solidify their knowledge graphs, latecomers will find it exponentially harder to break in.

The solution

GEO: Generative Engine Optimisation

Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is the practice of structuring your brand's digital presence so that AI systems – ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude – find, trust, and cite you when answering user queries.

Where SEO focuses on ranking in a list of blue links, GEO focuses on becoming part of the AI's answer itself. That means optimising for how large language models retrieve, synthesise and present information.

BAMS is one of world's first specialist GEO agencies. We build AI-ready content architectures, strengthen your E-E-A-T signals, manage your brand presence on citation-generating platforms, and monitor your AI share of voice across every major LLM.

What we do

Six pillars of GEO excellence

01

AI visibility audit

We test your brand across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Overviews using 200+ relevant queries. You get a full citation map: where you appear, where competitors do, and the gaps to close.

02

Content architecture for LLMs

We restructure existing content and create new assets that AI models can easily parse: FAQ schemas, structured definitions, clear headers, and conversational depth that mirrors how AI answers are composed.

03

E-E-A-T signal building

LLMs trust sources that demonstrate expertise, authority and trustworthiness. We build authorship signals, third-party citations, expert quotes, and Wikipedia-style factual presence that models rely on.

04

Brand mention strategy

AI models learn from UGC: Reddit threads, YouTube content, forums, review sites. We engineer a sustained brand mention programme across high-weight platforms to build your LLM training footprint.

Technical GEO foundations

Clean site architecture, fast Core Web Vitals, and complete crawlability ensure AI systems can access and process your content. We fix the technical foundations that block AI discovery.

FAQ

Common questions.

Yes – they serve different channels. SEO optimises you for Google's ranked results. GEO optimises you for AI-generated answers. As AI search usage grows (494% since 2023), relying only on SEO means losing visibility in the fastest-growing discovery channel. BAMS unifies both, so you're covered wherever a search begins.
The first measurable changes typically appear within 6 weeks – especially from technical improvements, schema deployment, and quick-win content restructuring. Full citation authority and consistent AI share of voice gains compound over 3–6 months. We report monthly so you can track progress clearly.
We track citation rate (how often your brand appears in AI answers to relevant queries), share of voice vs competitors, sentiment of citations, and platform coverage. Traditional SEO metrics like CTR don't apply here – the goal is being part of the AI's recommendation, not driving a click.
Standard GEO engagements cover ChatGPT / OpenAI, Google Gemini, Perplexity AI, Google AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot. Extended packages include Claude, Meta AI and emerging platforms. Coverage is reviewed quarterly as the AI search landscape evolves.
We were among the first London agencies to build a dedicated GEO practice in 2023. We combine deep LLM technical understanding with proven SEO infrastructure, meaning your GEO work is built on a solid, durable foundation. Every strategy is bespoke, data-led, and backed by monthly transparent reporting.
These are all names for the same emerging practice – optimising for AI-generated answers rather than traditional search rankings. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) are the most common terms. LLMO (Large Language Model Optimisation) is used more technically. At BAMS, we use GEO as the umbrella term but the methodology covers all three.
