The challenge

Why most developer tools struggle to show up in AI search

01

Developers search for implementation guides and documentation, not marketing pages.

02

Great products often lose visibility because technical content isn’t structured for AI search.

03

GitHub repositories, open-source projects, and established platforms dominate AI answers for developer prompts.

04

Most agencies don’t understand APIs, SDKs, developer workflows, or product-led growth.

05

Developers increasingly discover tools through AI search, but many products never appear in AI-generated recommendations.

How we grow developer tools with GEO & AI search

Step 01

Deep Audit & Discovery

We start by understanding how developers find your product today. That means reviewing your documentation, internal linking, GitHub presence, AI crawler access and competitor landscape. We also look at how your product appears across AI search platforms so you know where you’re visible and where you’re being overlooked.

Step 02

Custom Strategy Development

Developers don’t search for sales copy. They ask for API references, tutorials, integration guides, SDK documentation, troubleshooting help, and alternatives. We build a strategy around those prompts, helping your content reach users before they start evaluating vendors.
Step 03

Execute & Build

Our team improves your documentation, publishes technical content, makes your site easy for AI crawlers to read, and earns brand mentions from developer communities, engineering blogs, and technology publications. Every task supports one goal: helping more developers discover, trust, and adopt your product.

Step 04

Report, Optimize & Scale

We track the metrics that matter, including AI search visibility, AI citations, documentation traffic from AI referrals, product signups, and qualified opportunities. Every month we refine the strategy based on real performance, so your AI visibility keeps compounding.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is GEO consultation?

GEO consultation is expert help with getting your brand mentioned and cited in AI search tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. It covers prompt research, on-site changes, content and the third-party sources those tools rely on.

Why do SaaS companies need GEO?

More buyers now ask AI tools to shortlist software before they visit a vendor’s site. If your product isn’t named in those answers, you aren’t on the shortlist. GEO helps you show up for the prompts that lead to demos and sign-ups.

How is GEO different from SEO?

SEO aims to rank pages in Google’s results. GEO aims to get your brand named and cited inside AI-generated answers. The two overlap, since AI tools often draw on pages that rank well, but GEO also depends on brand mentions across other sites and on content written so AI tools can quote it.

How long does GEO take to show results?

Most SaaS companies see changes in AI mentions within 60 to 90 days. Competitive categories can take longer, and results depend on how much content and authority your site already has.

Which AI platforms do you optimize for?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews. We track your prompts on each one, because they often cite different sources for the same question.

How do you measure GEO success?

We track the share of your buyer prompts that mention or cite your brand on each AI platform, how that compares with competitors, and the traffic and sign-ups that arrive from AI referrals.

Do you also handle SEO and link building?

Yes. GEO works best alongside strong SEO. We also offer technical SEO and link building, and we fold them into the same plan when they’re needed.

Can you train our team on GEO?

Yes. Workshops cover prompt research, answer-first writing, schema, earning third-party mentions and measuring AI visibility. Each session uses your own pages and prompts as the examples.
