Stay Visible in the Era of AI-Powered Search

The search landscape is evolving fast. AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini (formerly Bard), Bing Copilot, Claude, Perplexity, and Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE) are changing how users find answers online. Instead of browsing through websites, people now receive conversational responses generated directly by these platforms. This shift reduces traditional clicks but opens a powerful new opportunity to be featured inside AI-generated results. To stay ahead, your business must adapt to how these generative engines collect and display information.

At Horton Group, we help businesses optimize for both search engines and AI systems. Using structured data, AI-tuned content, and real-time testing, we ensure your brand appears where customers are searching: within the results AI delivers.

What is GEO?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the next step beyond traditional SEO. It focuses on helping your business appear in AI-generated responses from tools like ChatGPT, Bing Copilot, Gemini, and Perplexity. Instead of optimizing only for search rankings, GEO ensures your brand is recognized, referenced, and trusted by AI-driven systems.

GEO focuses on:

  • Visibility: Helping your business surface in AI-powered search results and summaries.

  • Credibility: Positioning your website as a reliable source of verified, high-quality information.

  • Engagement: Structuring your content so AI platforms can interpret, summarize, and showcase it to users.

SEO vs. GEO: What’s the Difference?

Traditional SEO (Search Engine Optimization) improves rankings in Google and Bing.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) extends that visibility into AI-generated environments, where answers are displayed directly to users.

While SEO drives clicks to your website, GEO ensures your business remains visible in the conversational results that AI platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini generate. Together, SEO and GEO provide complete visibility across both search and AI discovery channels.
