LinkedIn Profile →Why Generative Engine Optimization?
The way people search for information is fundamentally changing. More and more users ask ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity instead of Google. Businesses that don't appear in these AI systems lose potential customers — often without realizing it. I specialize in exactly this problem: making your business visible and citable for AI systems.
How a collaboration runs
- 1
Intro call, 30 minutes
We go through your industry and I run two or three prompts against ChatGPT and Perplexity live. You see immediately who gets recommended today. Free, no obligation.
- 2
Audit
If it fits, I document your starting position across a full prompt set and deliver a prioritised roadmap. Only then does a quote exist.
- 3
Implementation
Content, technology and structure — by me, with your team, or a mix. You decide how much stays in-house.
- 4
Measurement
The same prompt set, monthly, same method. That makes it provable whether anything changed — and what.
What I do not do
- No guaranteed placements. Nobody controls what a language model answers — anyone promising that is selling you something else.
- No classic SEO, no Google Ads, no social media. There are better people for that than me.
- No mass-produced AI copy. Content without real expertise is not preferred by models, it is ignored.
- No annual contracts as a condition of entry. The audit stands on its own; everything after is your call.
My Approach
Specialization, Not Generalization
100% focus on Generative Engine Optimization. No distractions from Google Ads, social media or traditional SEO.
Transparency & Honest Results
You get measurable reports on your AI visibility. No black box, no empty promises.
Staying Ahead of the Curve
AI systems change fast. I continuously test and evaluate what works for ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity.
Direct Access to the Expert
No account manager in between. You work directly with me — fast decisions, no friction.
