AI Search Optimization, also called GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), is the practice of optimizing your website to be cited as a source by AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot. HelloAds offers end-to-end GEO services — from llms.txt and schema setup to content optimization and authority building.
What is GEO and Why Does It Matter in 2026?
Unlike traditional SEO (ranking in blue-link results), GEO focuses on getting your brand cited by AI when users ask questions. AI citations carry massive brand trust and purchase intent influence — and most competitors haven't started yet.

FAQ
How is GEO different from SEO?
SEO targets Google's traditional blue-link results. GEO targets AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Both should be done together — SEO drives organic traffic while GEO builds brand authority in the AI era.
How long does GEO take to show results?
Technical setup (llms.txt, schema) shows results within 2–4 weeks. AI citations in Perplexity and Bing Copilot appear within 1–3 months. Google AI Overviews typically take 3–6 months as Google requires verified, established content.
What is llms.txt?
llms.txt is a text file placed at your website root (domain.com/llms.txt) that tells AI crawlers who you are, what services you offer, and which pages are most important. Think of it as robots.txt but designed specifically for Large Language Models.
How does HelloAds track GEO results?
HelloAds uses Brand Radar tools combined with manual monthly monitoring on ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. We track AI impressions, citations, and share of voice versus competitors, delivered in a monthly report.
