GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization: everything that helps AI search tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot and Google’s AI Overviews know your business, describe it correctly and name it. The foundation is the same as for SEO: a good website of your own.
On top of that, more happens outside your website: your Google Business Profile, reviews, and entries in directories and best-of lists.
Goal: a good spot in Google’s results list.
Measurable in Search Console.
Goal: being named when an AI search answers.
Measurable via Search Console’s AI report and samples.
In short: SEO gets you into the results list. GEO gets you into the answer.
Each point with a source. US figures only show the direction for Germany.
At its core, no. According to Google’s guide, optimizing for AI search is still SEO. Google sees the biggest lever in first-hand experience instead of general knowledge. Google Search doesn’t use special files such as llms.txt.

Mostly from business websites and the Google Business Profile: in a BrightLocal study of over 200,000 local AI queries, business websites supplied 42% of all citations. Google Maps named a tracked business in 66% of searches, AI interfaces in only 32 to 38%.

In a US survey by BrightLocal, 47% avoid businesses with fewer than 20 reviews, and 74% only look at the last three months. Google forbids rewards for reviews and pre-selecting happy customers. What counts is a steady, honest flow.

Microsoft Copilot searches the Bing index, and according to Peec, ChatGPT draws on Microsoft data and Google results, among others. Since February 2026, Bing Webmaster Tools show how often a website is cited in Copilot. So a website belongs cleanly in both indexes.

Partly. Since 31 August 2026, Google Search Console shows how often your pages appear in AI Overviews and AI Mode, but no clicks. AI answers vary a lot: for repeated queries, the businesses named overlapped by only 20 to 33%. A single test says little.

In Whitespark’s 2026 survey of 47 experts, mentions on curated best-of lists come first for AI search, followed by a dedicated page per service. That’s expert opinion, not a measurement. Since May 2026, Google treats attempts to manipulate AI answers as spam. OsAI only works on genuine, editorial listings.

I ran the check on my own website first. I’ll tell you what the measurement shows, even if an action won’t do much for you.
More about OsmanYou get your fixed price after the free 15-min intro call, before any work starts. The visibility check shows where you stand on Google and in AI answers and ends with an action plan. The price of ongoing support afterwards depends mainly on the size of the website, the number of locations and services, and the competition.
There’s no fixed timeframe. Google first has to find new and changed pages, check them and come to trust them, and reviews and listings build up step by step. The monthly report shows what’s moving. The date for the check is arranged with OsAI individually.
No. Nobody outside Google and the AI providers can promise positions on Google or mentions in AI answers. On top of that, AI answers vary: in a BrightLocal study, the businesses named for repeated queries overlapped by only 20 to 33%. How success is measured is something you decide with OsAI, case by case.

Not for Google. According to Google’s guide, Google Search doesn’t use llms.txt, and in an Ahrefs analysis 97% of llms.txt files didn’t get a single request. In an Ahrefs test, extra schema didn’t lead to a notable rise in AI citations either. What moves more: your own content based on experience, a well-kept Google Business Profile and genuine reviews.

No. Nobody can buy or force genuine reviews. Google removes reviews given in exchange for something and forbids asking only happy customers. OsAI sets up a neutral routine with you: after every job, every customer gets the same short request, with no conditions and no pressure.
Yes. OsAI is based in Fellbach near Stuttgart and works on site in greater Stuttgart and the Rems-Murr district, for example to go through the action plan with you. Across Germany everything runs remotely. The competitor comparison always refers to your area and your search terms.
For the check, read access to your Google Search Console is enough. For ongoing support, you add OsAI as a user to your Google Business Profile and, if needed, your website, without sharing passwords. You can revoke any access at any time. Report, action plan, copy and listings belong to you.
15 minutes, free: you tell OsAI what you offer and where. OsAI gives you a straight answer on whether a check is worth it.
