Frequently asked questions about AI Visibility and GEO — SoftechV

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the discipline of optimizing your digital presence so AI engines — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews — mention and recommend your brand when users ask about products or services in your category. It is the equivalent of SEO for the AI era.

SEO aims to rank you in Google's results. GEO aims to get AI engines to cite and recommend you in their answers. The sources that matter change (AI models triangulate third-party mentions, structured data and citable content), the metrics change (share of voice in AI answers instead of rankings) and so do the tactics. They complement each other, but they are not the same thing.

The monthly service starts at USD 300, with a free initial audit where we measure how your brand shows up today across the main AI engines and what opportunities exist in your category.

The first improvements usually show up between weeks 4 and 12, depending on your starting point and how competitive your category is. LLMs refresh their sources continuously but not instantly, which is why we track progress every month with a fixed set of queries.

ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Claude (Anthropic), Perplexity, Copilot (Microsoft) and Google's AI Overviews. The methodology targets the sources all of these models consult, so improvements compound across the whole ecosystem.

We define a set of real queries for your category (the questions your potential customers actually ask AI) and run it monthly on every platform. We measure whether your brand appears, in which position, how accurately and with what sentiment, and we benchmark it against your competitors.

No. Platforms detect and ban astroturfing (Reddit removes tens of thousands of fake posts every day) and the reputational damage outweighs any benefit. We only work with sustainable practices: citable content, structured data, real authority and genuine presence in the sources AI models consult.

We are part of SoftechV, an agency based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, operating in 7 countries. The AI Visibility service is delivered 100% remotely across Latin America, Spain and English-speaking markets.

Just your web domain and 30 minutes for an intro call. With that we run the free audit: we measure your current visibility across AI engines, your competitors' visibility, and we present the plan.

Yes. More and more shoppers ask ChatGPT or Gemini "what is the best [product category]" before buying. We optimize so your store shows up in those answers, and we integrate it with your paid media strategy if we also manage it.

Yes, and this is where results come fastest. Queries like "recommend an accounting firm in Buenos Aires" or "best logistics software in Mexico" are already asked thousands of times a day.

Yes, and you often have an advantage: most categories still have no players optimized for AI engines. Getting there first costs far less than displacing an established competitor.

It is the percentage of times your brand appears in AI answers for your category's query set, compared with your competitors. It is the core metric of the service.

No, it complements it. Part of the sources AI models cite come from traditional search results, so solid SEO helps GEO. But GEO also works on signals SEO ignores: llms.txt, AI-oriented structured data, mentions in the sources models consult, and content in a citable format.

It is a standard file published at the root of your site that tells AI models what your company does, what it offers and how to contact you, in a format they can read without ambiguity. It is one of the first things we implement.

Nobody can guarantee a specific answer from an AI model, and you should be wary of anyone who promises it. What we do guarantee is systematic work on every factor that influences those answers, plus transparent monthly measurement so you see the real progress.

Month 1: audit, technical fixes on your site (structured data, llms.txt, citable content) and a measurement baseline. Following months: external authority building, new content, and a monthly share-of-voice report with strategy adjustments.

Yes, the service is 100% remote and we already operate in 7 countries. We work in both Spanish and English.

SoftechV is a performance agency: we come from managing paid media focused on measurable sales and leads, and we apply that same measurement logic to GEO. On top of that, AI Visibility is a dedicated business unit, not one more line in a services menu.
