About GEO and AI search
What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
GEO is the work of making a company show up, and be described correctly, in answers from AI tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Copilot. It overlaps with SEO but differs in one way that matters: AI tools give one answer that names a few companies, and they lean heavily on third-party sources such as reviews, comparison articles and directories.
How do I get my company mentioned in ChatGPT?
Make sure ChatGPT's search crawler (OAI-SearchBot) can reach your site, get your important pages indexed in Bing and Google, publish clear comparison, pricing and integration pages, and earn accurate mentions on the third-party pages AI cites for your category. There is no switch to flip, and nobody can guarantee a mention.
How do I get recommended in Google AI Overviews and AI Mode?
Google says there is no special markup or file for its AI features: the same things that make a page eligible for Search apply. In practice that means indexable, original, specific pages that answer the buyer's question, plus accurate coverage on the sites Google already trusts for your category.
What does an AI search visibility audit include?
Our Diagnostic ($1,500, two weeks) covers 30 buyer questions on ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI, each run 3 times (270 answers), compared with 3 competitors. You get your mention rate, an accuracy check, the sources each AI cites, the root cause of every gap and a fix list ranked by impact and effort, walked through on a 60-minute call.
How long does GEO take to show results?
Fixes on your own site can change some answers within weeks. Changes that depend on third-party sources, such as reviews or comparison articles, usually take months. We remeasure at weeks 4, 8 and 12 so you can see what moved and what did not.
Which sources do AI tools cite for B2B software?
Mostly third-party ones. A 2025 study found that for software questions, AI search drew about three quarters of its sources from earned media (reviews, articles, directories), far more than Google's results do. Your own site matters, but rarely on its own.
Do schema markup or llms.txt help AI visibility?
The evidence says not much. Google states its AI features need no special structured data or AI text files, a 2026 Ahrefs study found no meaningful lift in AI citations after adding schema, and server logs show llms.txt files are rarely requested. We still keep both tidy, but we don't sell them as the fix.
Can you guarantee we will appear in ChatGPT?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. AI answers change from run to run and no outside party controls them. We commit to the work, the timeline and honest measurement, including what didn't move.
Which AI engines do you measure?
ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI (AI Overviews and AI Mode) in every plan. We can add Claude, Copilot or Gemini to a Growth or Scale question set when your buyers use them.
Who runs Chosenmark and where are you based?
Chosenmark is run by Aayush Shah through Suvidhi Ventures Private Limited, registered in Mumbai, India (CIN U62010MH2026PTC471993). We work US and UK hours and reply within one business day.
How is Chosenmark different from an SEO agency?
We measure and change what AI tools say about you, not your position in a list of links. That means working on the third-party sources AI relies on as much as your own pages, and reporting mention rate and accuracy rather than rankings. We work alongside your SEO team.
Do you work with companies outside SaaS?
Yes, if your buyers compare vendors before they talk to sales: fintech, security, data, developer tools, B2B services and professional firms. We are not a fit for local businesses or consumer products.
About working with us
What's in the free check?
We ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI 10 questions your buyers ask. Within 2 business days you get a one-page report: who gets recommended, where you stand, and your biggest gap.
How is this different from SEO?
SEO gets you ranked in a list of links. AI tools give one answer and name a few vendors. They pick those names from sources they trust, so the work covers your site and the sources AI cites about your category.
How soon will we see results?
Fixes ship from week 3. We remeasure at weeks 4, 8 and 12 on the same questions. Some answers change within weeks; citations from third-party sources usually take months.
How do you measure results?
The same buyer questions, run several times on each AI tool, before and after. We report how often you're named compared with competitors, whether facts about you are correct, and AI referral traffic in your analytics.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. AI answers vary from run to run, and nobody controls them. We commit to the work, the timeline and honest measurement, including what didn't move.
Do we need to change our website?
Usually some pages, such as comparison, pricing or integration pages. We draft, you approve. Nothing goes live without your sign-off.
How do you fix wrong information about us?
We find the source each AI is repeating, such as an old review or article, and get it corrected or outweighed by accurate, current sources.
Will this hurt our SEO?
No. The changes are accurate, useful pages and real mentions, which also help search rankings. We work alongside your SEO agency.
Who is this for?
B2B companies whose buyers compare vendors before talking to sales: software, fintech, security, data and services.
Can we cancel?
Growth and Scale have a 90-day minimum from kickoff, then run month to month. Either side can stop with 30 days' written notice, which can be given during the minimum term to take effect at its end. If you stop early without cause, the fees for the rest of the minimum term remain due.
