SEO · GEO

Generative engine optimisation for education brands.

Generative AI builds its answers from sources it trusts. GEO makes your institution one of those sources: well-structured, widely cited and unambiguous.

Generative AI cites sources it can trust.

Generative engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity compose an answer and increasingly cite the pages they drew from. Generative engine optimisation is the work of making your institution easy to cite: clear factual claims, consistent numbers across the web, and presence on the third-party sources that models already treat as authoritative for Indian higher education. Vague, promotional copy gives them nothing to quote.

Our GEO work for education brands begins with a tracked basket of prompts covering your programmes, cities and competitors. We map which domains appear in the citations, close gaps where your institution is absent, and rewrite key pages so placement data, accreditation status, rankings and programme details are stated plainly with dates and sources. Progress is reported monthly as share of mentions and citations, alongside classic SEO metrics.

The challenge

Common challenges we solve.

Peers cited, you are not

AI answers for your programmes and city name competitors and link to their pages.

Vague marketing copy

Pages full of adjectives and few verifiable facts give models nothing concrete to quote.

Inconsistent facts

Different fees, rankings or founding years across your site, portals and directories make AI less confident about you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between GEO and AI visibility?
AI visibility is the outcome we measure: how often AI assistants mention, recommend and cite your institution. GEO is the set of content and authority techniques used to improve that outcome, such as restructuring pages with quotable facts and earning presence on cited sources. Most institutions start with an AI visibility audit and continue with ongoing GEO work.
Will GEO changes affect our Google rankings?
Done properly, they help. Clear facts, strong structure, schema and authoritative citations are also good SEO signals. We coordinate GEO edits with your SEO plan, preserve URLs and keyword targeting, and check Search Console after major changes so ranking pages are not disrupted.
Can you guarantee that ChatGPT or Gemini will cite us?
No. AI outputs vary by model, prompt and update cycle, and nobody controls them. What we can do is measure your share of mentions and citations against a fixed prompt set, improve the factors that influence it, and report the trend transparently every month.
