Hey hey, Savvy Peeps!

I’m sure you’ve noticed—everyone’s talking about AI search. But few are actually getting seen inside it.

The real challenge now isn’t understanding what’s changing. It’s figuring out how to make your content show up in AI search engines and LLMs.

If you’re stuck and can’t figure out how to do it, I’m glad you’re here!

I’ve been studying GEO and experimenting with different strategies for months. Today, I’m sharing the exact framework that actually gets my businesses cited in AI answers.

Let’s get to it!

1. Prompt Research

Before creating content, I study how people actually ask AI questions.

That means:

• Analyzing real prompts in ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.

• Reverse-engineering question structure and intent.

• Using tools like ChatGPT, Semrush, and Writesonic for patterns.

If you don’t understand the prompt, you won’t win the citation.

2. Competitor + LLM Research

Next, I look at who’s already getting cited.

I analyze:

• Content structure, length, and angles.

• Repeated winners across AI search engines.

• Which URLs LLMs consistently pull from.

This tells me exactly what AI prefers so I can build my content around that.

3. GEO Content Creation

Then I create content that’s impossible to ignore.

Every page is:

• Highly structured and skimmable.

• Rich in E-E-A-T and first-hand experience.

• Built with bullets, stats, schema, and clear answers.

The goal is to answer the query better than anyone else on the Internet.

4. Authority Signals (Links, PR, Reddit)

I reinforce authority everywhere AI looks.

That includes:

• Links from domains already cited by LLMs.

• Digital PR (interviews, podcasts, roundups).

• High-value Reddit participation (no spam).

This builds niche trust and co-citations.

5. Track, Test, Adjust

Finally, I make sure my strategy is grounded in real data and evolving search behavior.

I constantly:

• Monitor citations in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and SGE.

• Test prompts manually.

• Double down on what gets cited and cut what doesn’t.

GEO is SEO’s Next Evolution

Most marketers are still stuck in 2015.

This strategy is built for 2026 and beyond.

If you need more guidance on implementing this, hop on a call with me.

I can help you build an SEO+GEO strategy that gets you cited in and generates leads from Google and AI search engines.

Now’s the time to become the answer.
