How we work
Questions
Generative engine optimisation is the practice of making content easy for AI systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews to find, understand, trust and cite. It builds on SEO with answer-first writing, clear entities, structured data and authoritative sources.
Technical fixes can show effects within weeks; content and authority usually take three to six months to compound. Anyone promising page one in days is selling something else.
We earn links through useful content, digital PR and partnerships. We do not buy links or use private blog networks, which risk penalties.
