Campaign

AI is now a stakeholder

A new, non-human stakeholder now acts as the primary gatekeeper to your audience. It controls how your brand is found and perceived online and has two core demands.

First, AI-driven search creates a ‘zero-click’ environment, providing direct answers that mean users often don’t need to visit your website. To satisfy this stakeholder, you must build the technical authority to be included in that answer.

Second, amid a flood of AI-generated content, this stakeholder is deeply sceptical. To earn its trust, you must showcase detailed, insightful, and verifiable human expertise that proves you are a reliable and authoritative source.

GEO: The new discipline you need to master

In response to the rise of AI, a new strategic discipline has emerged: Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO).

Still in its early days, competing technical terms for this include AI SEO (Artificial Intelligence Search Engine Optimisation), AIO (AI Optimisation), AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation), or LLMO (Large Language Model Optimisation). It can also be referred to as content optimisation for AI search or brand positioning in AI-generated summaries.

Unlike traditional SEQ, the goal of GEO is not to rank your link on search engine results pages, but to have your company’s expertise recognised as the definitive, trustworthy answer that an AI will use and cite — whether in the AI Overview at the top of search results pages or directly in the chat — and the techniques are completely different. Although there are a few technical aspects to GEO, the techniques are more closely aligned with traditional public relations.

A journalistic approach to GEO

As an agency founded by former industrial journalists, our entire methodology is built on the principles of credibility and verification, and our GEO framework is designed to make your expertise undeniable to both machine and human audiences by focusing on two core principles:

The single source of truth

This is your website transformed from a digital showroom into the definitive, structured library of your company’s expertise. It is the foundational asset that AI agents rely on for facts. We work with you to:

Liberate your knowledge from offline documents, such as PDFs and presentations, making it visible to AI.

Structure your content into ‘AI-ready’ formats, including clear Q&As, descriptive visual media, and schema mark-ups.

Profile your experts to create a verifiable, public record of the human intelligence behind your brand.

The web of trust

AI doesn’t just take your word for it; it looks for external corroboration. We build a powerful network of credible, third-party signals that all point back to your expertise, proving your authority to the wider digital world. We work with you to:

Secure strategic media coverage in high-authority publications, the ultimate endorsement from human experts.

Build verifiable thought leadership for your key people, proving their authority in public forums.

Ensure a consistent digital footprint across all platforms, a foundational sign of professionalism.
