Context Studios, an AI-native development studio in Berlin, checks your AI visibility, structures content so it can be cited, builds entities and schema markup and measures the impact continuously. As an AI-native development studio, Context Studios combines a technical understanding of language models with hands-on delivery: we know how retrieval-augmented generation works, which signals language models evaluate and how entity authority is built. Our services include AI visibility audits, content restructuring for citability, schema markup and machine-readable entity definitions. GEO optimization (Generative Engine Optimization) is the systematic optimization of content, entities and structured data so that AI search systems such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google AI Overviews mention, cite and recommend a brand correctly. Classic SEO targets rankings in the results list, GEO targets mentions in AI-generated answers. Entity: GEO Optimization Specialisation: Generative Engine Optimization (GEO, LLMO, AEO, GAIO) Platforms: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Gemini Methods: AI visibility audit, entity building, schema markup, content restructuring Target group: Companies with an online presence that want to be visible in AI answers What sets us apart: AI developers who deliver GEO – with hands-on experience in RAG pipelines and LLM applications ## Which GEO services do we offer? From the initial assessment to ongoing optimization — a systematic approach to your AI visibility. ### AI visibility audit We start with one question: where does your brand appear in AI answers – and where does it not? We test systematically in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. The result: a complete picture of your AI visibility with concrete recommendations. ### Content optimization for LLMs We optimize your existing content for citability: entity clarity, a conversational question-and-answer structure and verifiable statements. No keyword stuffing, but semantic precision. ### Technical GEO implementation The technical implementation covers Schema.org markup, JSON-LD, crawlability for AI bots and structured data for knowledge graphs – the technical foundation that classic SEO often neglects. ### E-E-A-T & digital authority building Building author entities, strengthening brand mentions, signalling source credibility: we establish your brand as a clearly defined entity that AI systems can attribute reliably. ### Monitoring & reporting Regular tracking of your brand mentions across the relevant AI platforms, competitor benchmarking and reports on citation rate, brand accuracy and recommended actions. ### AI-native content strategy GEO as a content strategy: content designed from the ground up for classic and AI search.

A: GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the systematic optimization of your online presence so that AI systems such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude and Gemini mention your brand correctly and cite it as a source. It covers technical measures such as schema markup, content optimization with citable statements and entity clarity, and authority building through E-E-A-T signals and platform presence. Q: How does GEO differ from classic SEO? A: SEO optimizes for rankings in the classic results list. GEO optimizes for being named and cited in AI-generated answers. In SEO you compete for positions, in GEO you compete to appear in the answer at all. The factors shift accordingly: entity authority, citable factual statements and semantic precision gain weight compared with keyword density. Q: Which AI platforms does GEO cover? A: We cover the relevant AI search platforms: ChatGPT including search, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. Each platform uses its own retrieval mechanisms and sources. That is why we test across platforms and prioritise measures according to the platforms your target audience actually uses for research and purchase decisions. Q: How do LLMs decide which brands to mention? A: Language models combine training knowledge with retrieval, meaning a real-time web search. For retrieval-based answers, semantic relevance, entity authority, source credibility and structured data matter. For answers drawn from training knowledge, the frequency and consistency of your brand mentions in publicly accessible sources matter most. GEO addresses both. Q: How long does it take for GEO to work? A: Improvements in retrieval-based systems such as Perplexity, ChatGPT search or AI Overviews often become visible after about 4–8 weeks. Effects on the models' training knowledge take longer, typically several months. We therefore recommend a dual approach: quick wins through retrieval optimization and long-term anchoring through entity building and consistent mentions. Q: Do I still need SEO if I do GEO? A: Yes. GEO does not replace SEO, it complements it. Many GEO signals build on good SEO: technically clean websites, structured data, linked sources and high-quality content. Google AI Overviews draw directly on the Google index. Because a growing share of research happens in AI assistants, SEO plus GEO as an integrated approach is the most sensible strategy. Q: How do you measure AI visibility? A: We measure AI visibility across several dimensions: citation rate for relevant questions, brand accuracy, mentions compared with competitors, coverage across platforms and the tone of how your brand is presented. We use our own prompt-testing frameworks and established monitoring tools. You receive the results as a report with concrete, prioritised recommendations. Q: What are LLMO / GAIO / AIO / AEO? A: The market has not yet settled on one term. LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization), GAIO (Generative AI Optimization), AIO (AI Overview Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) essentially describe the same thing: optimization for AI-generated answers. GEO is the most common term. We use the names synonymously and optimize across platforms. Q: What does optimization for AI search cost? A: The effort depends on your starting point, the number of markets and languages, the platforms and the monitoring you need. An AI visibility audit is a clearly defined starting point; we plan the implementation together afterwards. Fixed price after scoping, proposal within 48 hours. A fixed-price workshop is also a good way to get a first overview. Q: Is GEO relevant for B2B companies too? A: Yes, B2B is one of the strongest use cases. Decision-makers increasingly use ChatGPT and Perplexity for vendor research, market overviews and technology comparisons. If someone asks for the right AI consultancy in Berlin and your brand is missing from the answer, you are out of the running before a conversation even starts. GEO makes sure you appear in such comparisons. Q: Why hire an AI development studio instead of an SEO agency? A: Classic SEO optimizes content and hopes that AI systems pick it up. Our approach is based on understanding why AI cites certain sources – because we build RAG pipelines, embedding systems and LLM applications ourselves. We use this technical understanding to prepare content, data and entities the way language models process them. Q: What does an AI visibility audit include? A: The audit includes systematic tests in the relevant AI platforms with industry-relevant queries, a comparison with selected competitors, a technical schema markup audit, an entity analysis across knowledge graphs and a prioritised action plan. In a results presentation we show you where you stand, what is missing and which steps promise the greatest impact. ## Your competitors are already optimizing for AI search. Are you?
