Get ChatGPT to recommend your brand
When your customer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini which company, specialist, or product to choose, the answer mentions someone. ia¹ builds your digital presence so that someone is you—with SEO + GEO + AEO + AIO, without paid ads or platform rental fees.
In 30 seconds
What this is, straight up.
ia¹ positions brands, products, and professionals on conversational AI engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Google AI Overviews. The method combines technical SEO, GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), and AIO (AI Overview Optimization): a site optimized starting with its architecture, schema JSON-LD, editorial content with E-E-A-T, authority in the sources AI systems consult, and monthly monitoring of citations by prompt. The asset remains the client’s property. First step: a free audit that tells you exactly where you appear today — and where you don’t.
- 30-50%of searches in high-value categories (B2B, healthcare, legal, education) now go through AI engines—and the share grows every month.
- 5engines monitored for each critical prompt: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews.
- 60-90days to the first sporadic citations after implementing the foundation; 6-12 months for established, recurring citations.
The fundamental shift
Your customer no longer searches: they ask. And AI answers with a name.
For twenty years, the question was “Where do you rank on Google?” The new question is “Who does AI recommend when people ask about your category?”Unlike a list of search results, a generated response mentions two or three options—or just one. Being left out of that response isn’t a drop in rankings: it’s not existing in the conversation. And you can’t buy your way into the answer with ads; you build your way in with signals the model can read, understand, and cite.

- ✓Website and schema: architecture optimized for LLM extraction, JSON-LD for Organization/Person/Product/FAQPage, llms.txt, and consistent entity data.
- ✓Editorial E-E-A-T: citable content in a question-and-answer format, with a verifiable author, sources, and data that engines can reference.
- ✓External authority: a consistent presence in the sources AI systems consult — industry press, directories, communities, and verified profiles.
- ✓Monthly monitoring: citation report by prompt across the 5 engines, with trends and comparisons against competitors.
What no one tells you
No one can “guarantee” citations. What you can do is measure them.
Generative engines don’t sell mentions, and their models are updated in cycles lasting months. Anyone promising to get you featured on ChatGPT in 30 days for a fixed fee is selling smoke. What does work—and is documented in academic research on GEO—is structuring your presence so models can read and cite it: entity consistency, schema, citable data, authority on trusted sources. ia¹ applies its own methodology to its own brand and publishes the method. The program metric is not a promise: it is the monthly report of citations you receive, starting in the first month.

Frequently asked questions
What people ask before getting started.
What is AI search visibility (GEO), and how is it different from SEO?
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the discipline of optimizing brands, products, and professionals to be cited and recommended by conversational AI engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews. Traditional SEO competes for positions in a list of search results; GEO competes for mentions in generated answers. The signals also differ: AI systems weigh entity consistency, structured schema, authority in sources they consult (Wikipedia, Reddit, industry press), and citable content in a question-and-answer format.
How do I know if ChatGPT recommends my brand today?
Request ia¹’s free citation audit: we run the critical prompts for your category (e.g., “which X company do you recommend in Mexico”) on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and AI Overviews, and within 48 hours you receive a report showing where you appear, where you don’t, and which competitors are taking your place. You can also do it manually: come up with 10-15 questions your customer might ask and record which brands each engine names.
How much does it cost to improve a brand’s visibility in ChatGPT and AI search engines?
In the Mexican market, a serious GEO program consists of initial implementation (optimized website, schema, content architecture) plus a 12-month editorial and monitoring retainer. ia¹ quotes after the assessment based on your category, competition, and digital presence status—the assessment provides a fixed-price proposal, and if your case doesn’t justify the investment, we’ll tell you. Be wary of anyone promising guaranteed citations in 30 days for a fixed fee: model update cycles don’t work that way.
How long does it take to see results?
Occasional citations: 60-90 days after implementing the foundation (schema, site, first editorial content). Recurring citations in critical prompts: 6-12 months. It takes longer than traditional SEO because models have training and update cycles measured in months. That’s why the service is a 12-month retainer: the first quarter lays the foundation, the second generates signals, and the third and fourth consolidate results. Google rankings and AI Overviews often improve sooner (90-180 days) because they depend on crawling, not retraining.
Does it work for independent professionals, or only for companies?
It works for B2B companies with a defined category, regional consumer brands, independent professionals (consultants, attorneys, architects, doctors, coaches), and public figures (authors, speakers). For specialist doctors, ia¹ has a vertical program with exclusivity by specialty and city. It is not a good fit for undifferentiated commodities or products with short life cycles.
Exactly what does ia¹’s service include?
Assessment of current citations across 5 engines; a website optimized for SEO + GEO + AIO + AEO from the architecture stage; JSON-LD schema (Organization, Person, Product, FAQPage, as applicable); an E-E-A-T editorial strategy with continuous publishing; authority-building in sources AI systems read; and a monthly report with citation metrics for each critical prompt. All digital assets remain the client’s property.
Do I need to invest in ads to appear in AI responses?
No. Generative engines don’t sell citations—the answers are built from public sources the model considers trustworthy. The right investment is in owned assets (your website, schema, content) and external authority, which persist even after you stop investing. Some clients combine this with Google ads during the first few months while organic growth builds, but it isn’t a requirement of the program.
How do you measure results?
With a monthly report on citations for critical prompts: we work with you to define the 10-20 prompts where your brand should appear, run them systematically in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and AI Overviews, and track mentions, relative position, and cited competitors. We also track organic rankings on Google, traffic from AI search engines (referrals from chatgpt.com and perplexity.ai), and attributable leads.
