AI Discovery Through GEO + SEO

Being found today means showing up in two places: traditional search and AI-generated answers. On the search side, that means a paid and organic strategy for branded and non-branded keywords. On the AI side, generative engine optimization (GEO) positions your organization to be surfaced and cited by engines like ChatGPT, Claude and Google’s AI Overviews.

What are GEO and SEO?

SEO, or search engine optimization, is the practice of shaping your content so it ranks well in traditional search results, while GEO, or generative engine optimization, does the same for AI-powered answer engines. We help your message appear wherever people search, from Google to AI-powered platforms, optimizing your content for both traditional and generative engines without losing your voice.

Navigate the evolving search environment and meet people where they are online.

While Google remains essential, a growing number of people now turn to AI-powered platforms to ask questions, explore causes and find meaningful organizations to support. We help mission-first organizations stay visible wherever people are searching. Through GEO, or Generative Engine Optimization, we help your message appear in the AI-driven platforms and conversational tools rapidly shaping how people find and engage with information. Through SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, we make sure your content performs well in traditional search engines.

If your content is not discoverable across these evolving spaces, your message may not reach those searching for hope, guidance, connection or opportunities to give and get involved. Not because your mission has lost relevance, but because the ways people find organizations like yours have changed.
