Hozio’s GEO Services prepare your business for the future of search. Traditional SEO ranks you on Google’s results pages, but GEO gets your business cited in AI-generated answers. Our framework includes visibility audits, competitive intelligence, content optimization, authority building, and performance monitoring across major AI platforms. With tailored packages for businesses at every stage, we deliver measurable improvements in AI mentions within 45–60 days. Companies working with us gain stronger authority, more customer trust, and visibility in the channels where buyers are now searching.
What We Do
Hozio makes your business show up when people ask AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot for recommendations. Our GEO services help AI systems understand what you do, reference your content, and suggest you to potential customers.
Understanding GEO: The Evolution of Search Visibility
Generative Engine Optimization came from academic research at Princeton University and Georgia Tech, with researchers introducing the term in a December 2023 paper. GEO is real. It tackles a major change in how people look for information online.
Traditional SEO gets you ranked on Google’s results pages. GEO gets you mentioned in AI answers. When someone asks ChatGPT for advice or uses Perplexity to research options, GEO determines if your business shows up in those responses.
This difference matters because AI systems don’t work like search crawlers. They pull together data from multiple sources, check if information seems trustworthy, and create detailed answers instead of just listing web pages.
How AI Search Impacts Your Business
Research shows AI-powered features pop up in about 65% of commercial searches. These include:
- “What should I consider when choosing a digital marketing agency?”
- “Compare the top SEO companies in Long Island”
- “Help me decide between in-house marketing or hiring an agency”
- “Explain how search engine optimization works”
SEO-friendly sites tend to appear more often in AI search results, but traditional SEO by itself won’t guarantee AI mentions. Sites need specific tweaks to their structure and content to show up consistently in AI responses.
Our GEO Service Framework
Discovery & Assessment Phase
AI Visibility Audit: We check how often you appear across 10+ AI platforms to see where you stand now. This means testing real queries people might ask, tracking when you get cited, and finding spots where competitors beat you to the punch.
Technical Evaluation: Our team looks at your site’s structure, schema markup, and content layout through the lens of AI understanding. We spot technical problems that stop AI systems from figuring out what you offer.
Competitive Intelligence: We track which competitors’ AI platforms are recommended most often, figure out why they’re winning, and identify the content patterns behind their success.
Strategic Development Phase
Content Architecture Planning: We build a content structure that works for both real people and AI systems. This includes:
- Setting up clear information hierarchies
- Creating topic clusters that make sense
- Mapping how different concepts connect
- Working in facts and statistics naturally
Query Intent Mapping: Instead of chasing keywords, we identify the actual questions your customers type into AI tools. Then we make sure your content answers these everyday questions thoroughly.
Knowledge Base Strategy: We figure out which trusted sources AI platforms check for your industry, then get you listed in those specific databases and directories.
