01 — The Promise

Mentioned, before the competition even comes into play.

AI visibility brings three things: you will be found at the moment of purchase research, you will gain authority because an AI recommendation acts like a seal of approval, and you will secure an advantage as long as most competitors are still ignoring GEO.

U

Found at the point of purchase

When a decision-maker asks AI for a solution like yours, you, not just the big players, are in the answer.

Authority & Trust

Being recommended by AI feels like a neutral endorsement. It opens doors that advertising keeps shut.

Advantage & future-proof

Those who get an early start with AI responses will build a lead that latecomers will find difficult to catch up on.

/ 02 — Diagnose

The AI knows your competition. Your company hasn't yet.

Prompt measurement Content AI Mention

GEO is not marketing voodoo. Rather, a measurable system. We will show you the before-and-after figures.

Content without response format

The AI cannot find a clear statement it can cite.

No entity, no schema

Who, what, where is not stored in a machine-readable format.

No external mentions

The AI draws recommendations from directories, reviews, and expert articles. It is missing there.

Crawler locked out

GPTBot, ClaudeBot and the like are not allowed to read the page at all.

Hype rather than facts

Words like „the best“ lower the citation rate, instead of increasing it.

03 — The Diagnosis

SEO puts you on a list. GEO puts you in the answer.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) optimise your content so that AI systems mention you directly in their answers. Classic SEO puts a page in the Google list, which fewer and fewer people click on. GEO puts you in the one answer that gets read.

Gather data. Understand the system. Optimise. Measure again.

/ 04 — How we work

From invisible to cited. In five comprehensible steps.

Lilox makes you visible in AI within five steps. Each step is measurable, from the initial audit to ongoing monitoring.

1

Step 1

Prompts and baseline measurements

With modern AI monitoring tools, we find out what questions your customers are asking the AI and who is being mentioned today. That is your starting point, in black and white.

2

Step 2

Create citable content

Answer-shaped texts, clear definitions, numbers and FAQs in the wording of actual search queries, so that the AI can cite you cleanly.

3

Step 3

Finance and Technology

Entity (who, what, where), Organisation and FAQ page schema, llms.txt and open AI crawlers. The machine-readable foundation.

4

Step 4

Building external sources

LinkedIn articles, expert contributions, directories and reviews from which the AI draws its recommendations.

5

Step 5

Measure and readjust

We are continuously monitoring where you are mentioned compared to the competition, and closing gap after gap.

05 — What you get

Everything the AI needs, to name you.

Function plus benefit, from baseline measurement to ongoing monitoring. What is included in a GEO project from Lilox.

06 – External Visibility

The AI doesn't just believe your website. This is also how we ensure mentions elsewhere.

AI systems build their answers from many sources, not just your website. Those who appear in professional articles, directories, and on LinkedIn are recognised by the AI as more relevant. Lilox specifically builds these external signals.

Present brand signals,

so that your name and offering appear consistently everywhere and the AI can clearly identify you.

LinkedIn Articles & Posts

your core topics, which establish you as a source and expert.

Industry Directories & Reviews

(e.g. ProvenExpert, OMR Reviews and other directories) from which the AI draws recommendations.

Editorial and digital specialist articles,

on external sites frequently cited in AI within your industry.

A website alone makes your assertion. External mentions make you a fact — also for the AI.

13 – GEO & AEO

Frequently Asked Questions

This reflects the real prompts from ChatGPT, Perplexity & Google AI concerning AI visibility, GEO and AEO.

UI Card: AI Prompt Monitoring with Visibility Analysis

How will my business be recommended by ChatGPT or Perplexity?

By the AI recognising you as the relevant answer. Lilox ensures this with citable content on the website (definitions, figures, FAQs, schematics) and with mentions via external sources such as directories, reviews, and expert articles.

What is the difference between SEO, GEO, and AEO?

SEO brings a page into the classic Google results. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) ensure that a company is mentioned directly in the answers from AI systems such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI.

How do you measure AI visibility?

Lilox uses AI monitoring tools that regularly ask defined questions to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, and others, and measure how often and where you are mentioned in comparison to the competition.

How long does it take to appear in AI responses?

First mentions usually appear within four to eight weeks, initially for brand name related queries and niche topics. Category queries like „best solution for...“ take longer and require more external signals.

Can GEO be tailored specifically for Austria, Switzerland, or Germany?

Yes. Lilox specifically optimises AI visibility for the DACH region, including country-specific queries and regional sources, so that you are mentioned exactly where your customers are located.

Is it worth investing in GEO now, or is it too early?

It's worth it now. AI search is growing quickly, and early movers are securing a lead that latecomers will struggle to catch up on. Those who wait are leaving the listings to the competition.
