Why Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) Matters Now
“We’re seeing a fundamental shift in how search engines process and deliver information. Traditional SEO isn’t enough anymore. GEO ensures you remain discoverable in an AI-first world.” – Ashley Salek, Agency Director

Consider these eye-opening stats:
79% of enterprise executives believe AI will fundamentally change information gathering within two years
Early adopters are seeing remarkable results: one business saw a 215% increase in AI-generated mentions after implementing a GEO strategy

Add clear “Last updated” timestamps
Reference current industry developments
Pro tip: Content that’s been updated in the past 3 months is 2.5x more likely to be cited in AI responses.
