The academic and writing services industry faces a unique challenge in AI search — high competition, content saturation, and increasing scrutiny from AI models around quality signals. Our client, a US and UK-focused writing services platform, had zero AI search presence when they came to BAMS. We built a comprehensive GEO strategy to establish authority across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Copilot — turning an invisible brand into one of the most-cited writing services in AI search within 10 months.

The challenge

Invisible to AI. Zero citations across every platform.

Writing services is one of the most contested niches in AI search — flooded with low-quality content and flagged by AI models for credibility issues. The client had strong service offerings but no structured content strategy, no E-E-A-T signals and zero presence across any AI search platform. Every query about writing services returned competitors. They needed a strategy built specifically for how AI models evaluate and cite sources — not just traditional SEO.

Our approach

Build AI authority before competitors notice the shift.

GEO for writing services requires a fundamentally different approach to content — AI models don't just index pages, they evaluate credibility, expertise and citation-worthiness. We restructured the entire content architecture around how ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews select sources, built topical authority across every writing service vertical, and created structured data signals that made the platform impossible for AI to ignore.
