Visible in AI, from Ghent

ChatGPT cannot find your business. We make sure it can.

Your customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google for a recommendation. Is your SME mentioned then? Or your competitor? We measure it for free, send you the full report and fix what holds AI back.

SEO, for the answers AI gives.

GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. It makes sure AI search engines know, trust and mention your business.

With classic SEO you work on a position in Google's list of blue links. With GEO you work on something else: a mention in the answer itself, as you see it in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Gemini.

When someone asks ChatGPT which accountant in Kortrijk is good for a construction company, GEO determines whether your firm appears in that answer. Or your competitor's.

Read the full explanation on our blog.

SEO

A place in the list

Google shows ten links. The customer clicks, compares and chooses.

› accountant kortrijk

GEO

A name in the answer

AI reads the sources, compares them and recommends two or three businesses.

› Which accountant in Kortrijk knows the construction sector?

Your customers already search differently.

Four figures from research between 2023 and 2026, each with its source.

527%

That is how much traffic from AI search engines to 19 websites studied grew in the first five months of 2025, compared with the same period in 2024. It is still small, but it is rising fast.

That is how much more a visitor from AI is worth than a visitor from Google's regular search results. Anyone who arrives through AI has already compared.

That much or more of their Google traffic is what many brands will lose by 2028, Gartner expects, as customers switch to AI search.

Only this share of marketers currently invests in measuring what their work delivers in AI search engines. We measure it every month.

Most Flemish SMEs have never heard of GEO. Few agencies offer it. Whoever starts now is already in the answer before their competitor arrives.

For Flemish SMEs that already invest in marketing.

We work for companies where one extra customer makes the difference. If you recognise these four points, you will get the most out of an analysis.

✓

A clear brand and a real site

Your own site with your services and a recognisable brand identity.

Don't have that yet? Then we will gladly refer you to our design studio: hetdesignbureau.be.

✓

A marketing budget

You already advertise on Google, on social media or in directories.

Never advertised before? Het designbureau sets up your first campaign: hetdesignbureau.be.

✓

Competition in your region

Other businesses in your area offer the same thing and compete for the same client.

✓

A team

Your business runs with employees and a steady turnover.

What we find at almost every SME.

The analysis looks at your site the way an AI search engine does. Each point gets a score and an explanation in plain language, so you know what is wrong and what fixing it will deliver.

GEO-score < 50

A low overall score

One score out of 100 that shows how well AI can read, understand and recommend your site. Most sites score below 50.

robots.txt

AI crawlers blocked

ChatGPT and Perplexity send robots to read sites, just as Google does. If those are blocked, AI can never recommend your business.

llms.txt

No llms.txt

A simple text file that tells AI what you do and which pages matter. Almost nobody has one, so AI guesses.

schema.org

No structured data

Invisible code that states your name, address, services and reviews. Without that code, AI has to work everything out on its own.

vermeldingen

Few mentions

AI relies on what others say about you: directories, LinkedIn, YouTube, forums and reviews. Few mentions means little trust.

citeerbaarheid

Copy that AI does not pick up

AI cites clear answers with facts. It skips vague promotional copy.

From analysis to being named.

When ChatGPT recommends your business, the customer lands on your site and sends a request. For those next steps we refer you to our sister agencies. Your file sits with FD96, so you only tell your story once.
