GEO Service and 107-Point Generative Engine Optimization Framework

SUPERCHARGE YOUR ONLINE VISIBILITY! CONTACT US AND LET’S ACHIEVE EXCELLENCE TOGETHER!

Generative search has expanded the meaning of online visibility.

Customers increasingly ask AI systems to explain services, compare providers, shortlist companies, recommend products and summarise complex subjects. A business may perform well in traditional search results but remain absent from generated answers, recommendations and citations.

ThatWare’s GEO pricing page presents Generative Engine Optimization as a monthly service focused on content, entity signals, structured data, citations, brand authority, AI readability and retrieval potential. The current page also covers strategy, AI visibility auditing, generative query research, competitor analysis, knowledge graphs, RAG optimisation, trust signals, distribution and ongoing reporting. 

The 107-point framework below expands that current service scope using the uploaded GEO audit presentation. The presentation follows a chapter-specific process involving evidence review, gap identification, deliverable creation, answer-engine rewriting, proof and link integration, quality assurance, measurement and before-versus-after validation.

What Is Generative Engine Optimization?

Generative Engine Optimization, commonly called GEO, improves how a brand is understood, retrieved, cited, described and recommended within AI-generated answers.

Traditional SEO generally focuses on rankings, crawling, indexing, authority and organic traffic. GEO adds several further questions:

• Does the brand appear when a user asks an AI system for recommendations?
• Is the correct website page selected as the source?
• Are generated descriptions of the brand factually accurate?
• Do competitors receive more mentions or citations?
• Can important content sections be retrieved independently?
• Are claims supported by reliable evidence?
• Do AI systems understand the brand’s services, categories and locations?
• Is the website structured for summarisation and retrieval?
• Are entity descriptions consistent across different platforms?
• Is generative visibility measured over time?

GEO does not replace SEO, AEO or LLM SEO. It strengthens the content, entity, retrieval, authority and trust layers that influence generated answers.

What ThatWare’s Current GEO Pricing Page Covers

The live page describes monthly GEO work across 16 broad areas:

1. GEO strategy and roadmap
2. AI visibility audit
3. Generative query research
4. Competitor AI analysis
5. Content optimisation for AI engines

The page also explains that monthly scope varies according to the selected plan, website size, competition, goals and existing digital presence. The current prices should therefore remain connected to the live pricing cards in the CMS, while the framework below can support and explain the depth of each package. 

ThatWare’s Complete GEO Service Coverage

Core GEO Strategy and Consulting

ThatWare provides Generative Engine Optimization services for organisations seeking visibility inside AI-generated answers, summaries, comparisons and recommendations.

Our GEO services combine strategic research, content engineering, technical discovery, citation development, entity optimisation and measurement. As a GEO company, ThatWare can audit the existing digital ecosystem, create implementation assets and monitor progress.

A specialist GEO agency must examine more than website rankings. It must understand prompts, citations, retrieved passages, brand entities, external references and recommendation behaviour. A dedicated GEO consultant helps connect those signals with business priorities.

ThatWare can operate as a full Generative Engine Optimization agency, a technical Generative Engine Optimization company or a strategic Generative Engine Optimization consultant, depending on the client’s internal capabilities.

Larger organisations can use enterprise GEO services for multiple websites, countries, products, teams and approval workflows. Our wider generative search optimization services create a structured path from initial audit to continuous generative visibility improvement.

Generative Visibility and Recommendation Intelligence

ThatWare’s generative AI visibility services measure whether a brand appears in relevant generated responses.

We evaluate AI-generated answer visibility across branded, non-branded, comparison, informational and commercial prompts. As a generative search visibility agency, ThatWare connects visibility observations with page-level corrective action.

AI answer visibility optimization improves content and entity signals supporting generated answers. The process begins with a generative visibility opportunity analysis covering prompts, pages, competitors, citations and answer formats.

AI brand visibility in generative search is then measured according to appearances, citations, recommendation language, correct categorisation and source selection.

Generative answer inclusion optimization improves the likelihood that relevant brand information can be found and used. Generative search share of voice compares the brand’s presence against competitors across a controlled prompt set.

For larger programmes, enterprise generative search visibility can be segmented by market, service, customer group and AI system. AI recommendation visibility services measure whether the brand is only mentioned or actively presented as a suitable option.

AI Citation Strategy

ThatWare’s AI citation optimization services improve the quality and accessibility of potential source pages.

An AI citation landscape analysis identifies which domains and pages are currently being selected. AI citation opportunity mapping connects important prompts with preferred source pages and supporting references.

AI citation block optimization strengthens specific passages by adding concise claims, source references, entity context and review information.

AI citation frequency tracking measures how often a page or brand is cited over time. Generative citation monitoring records citation gains, losses, replacement sources and competitor movement.

Citation-ready evidence formatting makes supporting facts easier to verify. Source-backed content optimization aligns key claims with reliable sources and appropriate review fields.

An AI citation overlap analysis shows which sources are shared by the brand and competitors. Lost AI citation recovery services investigate why a previously cited page disappeared and establish a recovery plan.

Generative Content Engineering

Generative answer optimization improves the structure and completeness of answer-ready content.

A generative answer gap analysis compares the current page against the answer required by a priority prompt.

Retrieval-ready content modularization converts broad page copy into focused answer sections. Chunk-level semantic structuring assigns each block a clear subject, intent, source and relationship.

Generative summary optimization provides concise page-level summaries. Generative response accuracy testing verifies whether generated output reflects the approved information.

ThatWare’s AI answer block development creates focused answer units. AI-friendly content structuring improves headings, summaries, lists, tables, definitions and page flow.

Source-backed answer development connects direct answers with supporting evidence. AI content flow optimization arranges answers, proof, objections and calls to action in a logical sequence.

Prompt, Intent and Retrieval Intelligence

LLM prompt intent mapping connects natural-language prompts with the user’s actual objective.

ThatWare’s AI prompt research services identify informational, comparative, local, commercial and recommendation prompts.

Prompt response testing services compare expected and actual generated responses. AI prompt visibility analysis records whether the brand appears, which source is selected and how competitors are presented.

Generative query intent analysis classifies prompts by customer stage, emotional need, evidence requirement and expected answer format.

Our question-to-page mapping services assign each high-priority question to the best source page.

AI retrieval performance optimization improves the relationship between the question, passage and canonical page. Retrieval suppression remediation addresses cases where approved pages are repeatedly excluded.

AI retrieval decline diagnostics investigates falling source selection, citations or answer inclusion. A retrieval policy alignment audit verifies whether retrieval assets remain current, approved and suitable for use.

Entity and Semantic Authority

Topical authority graph engineering maps subjects, subtopics, entities and supporting assets.

Semantic authority hub development creates connected centres of expertise around important commercial topics.

Knowledge graph reinforcement services strengthen the relationships between the company, its services, experts, industries, locations and evidence.

Cross-platform entity alignment ensures the brand is described consistently across owned and external sources.

Brand knowledge consistency optimization removes contradictory service, location, leadership or capability descriptions.

Semantic entity reconciliation resolves inconsistent names, categories, identifiers and relationships.

Multi-source entity normalization creates one approved entity record from several sources.

Entity-based content modeling determines which entities should appear together for each topic and intent. Topical entity association optimization strengthens connections between the brand and priority subjects.

AI entity identity schema deployment communicates approved entity relationships through structured data.

Trust, Authority and Reputation

ThatWare’s AI authority building services develop the external signals supporting brand credibility.

E-E-A-T signal enhancement improves experience, expertise, authority and trust presentation around key claims.

Source trust reinforcement improves evidence quality and proximity. Author credibility optimization connects content with appropriate biographies, experience, credentials and review information.

AI trustworthiness markup integration aligns visible trust information with structured representations.

Generative reputation management services monitor how the brand is described within generated responses. Generative reputation correction addresses inaccurate, outdated or unfavourable representations through source correction and stronger verified information.

Citation-ready reference page development creates useful resources that publishers and AI systems can verify.

AI brand trust signal optimization consolidates reviews, credentials, policies, case studies, external mentions and expert information.

Generative search digital PR services build credible brand references through relevant media, expert commentary, research and industry placements.

Become Discoverable, Citable and Recommendable Across Generative Search

Generative visibility requires more than publishing additional content.

A brand needs clear answers, verified evidence, consistent entities, retrievable passages, credible external references and a repeatable measurement framework. It also needs a system for identifying lost citations, correcting inaccurate responses and adapting to new prompt behaviour.

ThatWare’s 107-point GEO framework creates that system.

It connects strategy, content, entities, citations, machine-readable assets, authority, governance and performance reporting within one coordinated programme.
