International GEO

Become the Brand AI Recommends Across Markets, Languages & LLMs.

ChatGPT reached around 800 million weekly users in 2025, and buyers increasingly ask AI before they search. We get your brand mentioned and recommended in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity and DeepSeek, plus regional AI tools, in each language you sell in.Source ↗ (opens in a new tab)

Why it matters

Why Multi-language GEO Matters

  • 01

    Be Visible Where Decisions Are Increasingly Made

    More people now ask an AI tool when researching what to buy. Adobe Analytics reported that traffic from generative AI sources to U.S. retail websites rose 1,200% between July 2024 and February 2025.Source ↗ (opens in a new tab)

    GEO puts your brand in those answers before a competitor takes the spot.

  • 02

    Move Beyond Rankings to Recommendations

    SEO gets you ranked in search results. GEO gets your brand named in AI-generated answers, which matters more as fewer searches end in a click. Bain & Company found that roughly 80% of consumers now rely on “zero-click” search results for at least 40% of their searches, reducing direct website visits.Source ↗ (opens in a new tab)

  • 03

    Strengthen Brand Authority Across Markets

    AI tools favour brands that many trusted sources agree on. GEO builds that agreement in each country and language you sell in. Gartner predicts traditional search engine volume will decline 25% by 2026 as AI chatbots and virtual agents gain traction.Source ↗ (opens in a new tab)

  • 04

    Influence AI Understanding of Your Category

    When someone asks an AI tool to compare options in your category, its answer shapes their shortlist. GEO makes sure your strengths are part of that answer. McKinsey reports that generative AI is already shortening the research and comparison stages of buying.Source ↗ (opens in a new tab)

  • 05

    Future-Proof Your Search Visibility

    Brands that rely on traditional SEO alone will get found less as AI search grows. Ahrefs analysis found Google AI Overviews can reduce click-through rates for top-ranking pages by over 30% when AI-generated summaries are present.Source ↗ (opens in a new tab)

    GEO keeps you visible as more searches end with an AI summary.

  • 06

    Build Cross-Language Discovery Advantage

    Most GEO work happens in English. We do it in the languages your customers use, so AI tools recommend you in those markets too. Statista projects global generative AI market revenues will surpass $66 billion by 2030, with international adoption accelerating across sectors.Source ↗ (opens in a new tab)

  • 07

    Create Competitive Separation Early

    Few brands are doing GEO yet. Building authority now is easier than catching up once your category is crowded. PwC notes that organizations that adopt AI earlier are pulling further ahead of their competitors.Source ↗ (opens in a new tab)

    Align SEO, Content, PR & AI Strategy

    GEO draws on content, technical SEO and Digital PR, so planning them together makes each one more effective. It's worth the effort: Adobe found AI-referred visitors spend 8% more time on site, view 12% more pages and bounce 23% less than other traffic.Source ↗ (opens in a new tab)

FAQ

International GEO FAQ

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO is the work of getting your brand mentioned, cited and recommended in AI-generated answers on tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Gemini.

How is GEO different from SEO?

SEO is about ranking in search results. GEO is about being named in the answers AI tools give.

Why does Multi-language GEO matter?

AI tools answer in the language they're asked in, and often draw on different sources for each one. If your brand only has authority in English, you'll be missing from answers in your other markets.

Which AI platforms matter most?

It depends on your audience and market. For most brands that means ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Bing Copilot and Perplexity, plus DeepSeek and regional tools in some markets.

Is GEO replacing SEO?

No. Much of what helps you rank also helps AI tools find and trust you, so it makes sense to run them together.

The Future of Search Is AI-Mediated

Make Sure Your Brand Is Part of the Answer.

Ranking in search results is no longer enough. The brands that grow next will be the ones AI tools recommend.

We help you earn that place in search results and AI answers, in each language you sell in.
