AEO & GEO for industrial companies
AEO and GEO are the evolution of SEO for AI search - they determine whether your brand shows up at all in answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, and Gemini.
Get found in AI answers - in branded and non-branded searches alike. With aiva, we measure your visibility across all relevant LLMs, Western and Chinese. We analyze sources and competitors and derive a prioritized roadmap.
And we don’t stop at the analysis: from technical adjustments through content and third-party sources to coaching and execution - on request together with your agencies - we see the measures through to measurable impact.
Methodology
The AEO cycle:
Measure
Where do you stand?
Visibility score across relevant AI models, Western and Chinese, with aiva. Direct competitive comparison. A strengths-and-weaknesses profile by market, topic and search intent.
Understand
Why is it this way?
Analysis of the sources and media the AI cites - your website as well as third-party sites. Semantics of the answers. Positioning along the buyer journey.
Act
What needs to be done?
Prioritized strategy by impact × effort, with a business case per measure - as a clear basis for decision-making for your team.
Implement
How to work operationally?
Execution across every field of action - on your own or together with your agencies. Content hubs, reusable templates, re-measurement after 3 and 6 months.
The Three Levers
Fields of action - What we optimize
AI visibility comes down to three levers. aiva shows which one is stuck for you - that’s where we start.
Technical & machine readability
So LLM crawlers can even read your content: server-rendered HTML instead of pure JavaScript, structured data (JSON-LD / Schema.org), clean crawlability, index control, hreflang and sitemap consistency. Continuously safeguarded via AEGIS.
Content & knowledge systems
Answer-ready, fact-dense content that AI can cite: thematic content hubs, FAQs and glossaries (with aiga), consistent terminology and entities - targeted where aiva reveals topic gaps.
Third-party sources & off-site presence
LLMs cite external sources disproportionately. We build presence exactly where the models source your industry: Wikipedia, industry associations and directories, trade portals, distributors, reference and review sites, PR.
Collaboration
Execution & collaboration
Recommendations & strategy
Not raw data, but a prioritized roadmap with a business case per measure and KPIs per dimension - delivered as consulting.
Coaching & workshops
We enable your team: GEO principles, editorial and governance processes, machine-readability standards - so visibility is anchored internally.
Execution - also with your agencies
We implement the recommendations - ourselves or together with your existing web, SEO and PR agencies. We take on steering and quality assurance without replacing existing structures.
Impact control - before/after
A controlled re-test with aiva at identical configuration: only the direct comparison shows whether the measures worked. Visibility becomes steerable, not just observable.
