Generative Engine Optimisation is not only for national brands. When a buyer asks an AI assistant for the best option near them, the engine builds a local shortlist. GEO for local SEO is the work of making sure your business is on it.
This local angle is part of our AI Search Optimisation service, where we structure your local facts and authority so the engines cite your business for searches in your area.
When someone asks for the best option in a suburb or city, the engine pulls from sources it can read and trust, then names a few businesses. Your job is to be one of the names it can verify.
Local citations favour businesses with clear, consistent location facts and genuine local authority. The levers overlap with traditional local SEO, but the format matters more.
A strong Google Business Profile and local landing pages still matter. They feed the same trust signals the engines read, so local SEO and GEO reinforce each other rather than compete.
Write a dedicated page for each suburb or service area you serve. One clear local answer per page is easier for an AI engine to retrieve and cite.
Track the local prompts your customers ask, such as best in a suburb or near me variants, and record when your business is named. Use the gaps to decide which local pages to build next.
They are different names for the same goal: getting a large language model to cite your brand. GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimisation, AEO for Answer Engine Optimisation and SEO for LLMs describes optimising for large language models. We optimise for every variant at once.
