GEO & AI presence

GEO & AI-driven discovery

How does your organisation appear when AI answers the question?

AI is becoming another route through which people discover companies, compare expertise and seek advice. What they encounter may be a summary of your organisation, shaped by your own content and information from elsewhere.

GEO, or Generative Engine Optimisation, examines how organisations are found and represented in these answers. For communications and leadership teams, it raises a familiar question in a new setting: does the information people encounter reflect who we are and what we offer?

Your reputation enters the conversation before you do

A potential client asks which consultancy could help with a challenge. A journalist looks for an expert. A prospective partner wants to understand your organisation.

In each case, an AI-generated answer may become part of their first impression. Your website matters, but so do the articles, profiles and external references through which your organisation is described.

The practical questions are straightforward: are you included when the topic is relevant? Is the description accurate? And does it reflect the expertise you want to be recognised for?

Three connected areas to examine

Reputation and external authority

How is your organisation described beyond its own channels? Media coverage, expert contributions and industry references provide context. We examine whether that context supports your current positioning or keeps older narratives alive.

Content and information readiness

Can someone understand what you do, who you help and why your expertise matters? We review your content for clarity, consistency and gaps, including information that is outdated or difficult to find.

AI representation and measurement

What do selected AI tools actually say about your organisation when asked relevant questions? We examine the answers, the sources they surface and how accurately they represent your expertise. Repeated observation helps distinguish recurring patterns from individual responses.

A practical starting point

The work starts with the questions your audiences are likely to ask and the expertise your organisation needs to be recognised for.

An initial review examines your current AI representation alongside your website and relevant external sources. It identifies inaccurate descriptions, missing context and inconsistencies, then turns those findings into priorities for communications, content and further measurement.

Connecting AI presence to communications strategy

My approach brings together experience in communications leadership, insights, measurement and organisational change. That means examining AI presence in the context of your reputation, business priorities and the decisions your audiences make.

No one can guarantee inclusion in an AI-generated answer. The useful work is to strengthen the information behind your organisation’s presence and assess whether its representation improves over time.
