How do I get ChatGPT to recommend my business?

Make your business easy to identify and trust: state clearly what you do and where, keep details consistent across the web, earn genuine reviews, get mentioned on reputable sites and publish expert content. ChatGPT search draws on web sources, including Bing's index, so strong SEO foundations also matter.

Can you guarantee AI will recommend us?

No. AI providers control their own models and answers, which can vary between users and over time. We focus on the signals AI relies on and measure your visibility consistently so you can see progress.

Is GEO different from AEO?

They overlap. AEO focuses on having your content quoted as the answer to a question. GEO focuses on your brand being recommended and described accurately across AI assistants. Most businesses benefit from both.

What is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)?

Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is the practice of improving how often and how positively AI assistants mention and recommend your brand in their generated answers. It focuses on a clear brand entity, consistent business information, genuine reviews, mentions on trusted websites and content that demonstrates expertise. Folio Manager delivers GEO for Australian businesses and tracks your visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Mode.

Why it matters for your business

When someone asks an AI assistant "who is the best accountant in Brisbane" or "which pest control company should I use on the Gold Coast", the assistant does not show ten blue links. It names a few businesses and explains why. Those recommendations are shaped by what the AI can find and trust about each business: its website, its listings, its reviews and what other credible sources say about it. GEO is about making sure your business is one of the names AI chooses, and that it describes you accurately.

Who this is for

Australian businesses that want AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Mode to recommend them when customers ask for the best provider.

Our approach

We start by measuring where you stand: we ask the leading AI assistants the questions your customers ask and record who gets mentioned, how you are described and which sources are cited. Then we strengthen the signals AI relies on. That means a clear, consistent brand entity across your website, Google Business Profile, directories and social profiles; genuine reviews that mention your services and locations; mentions and features on reputable Australian and industry websites; and expert content that answers questions better than competitors. We correct inaccurate information about your business wherever it appears.
