We are on Clutch. Is that not enough? +
Clutch is a source. Models cite it, but they recommend the names that several independent lists agree on. We build that agreement.
Our main keyword is too competitive. +
That is why we do not start there. Stack, vertical and geography narrow the question to one your competitors have not claimed.
Can the keyword include our city or state? +
Yes. Geography is the strongest narrower for service companies. We measure from a US location by default.
Do you name our competitors? +
Yes, in every article. A list without competitors is an ad, and models skip ads.
Do you do Reddit or forum seeding? +
No. Reddit removes it, and it is not where buyer answers come from.
How do I get my software development company recommended by ChatGPT? +
Be named in several independent lists for one narrow question, on sites ChatGPT crawls, and have a service page on your site that confirms it. That is the campaign described above. The same applies to IT services and IT outsourcing companies.
What results can we expect, and how are they measured? +
Being named in the answers to your buyers' prompts. We measure it as how often you are named per prompt on ChatGPT, Claude and Google AI Overviews, before and after the campaign, with dates. On the campaigns we have run, the lift showed one to two weeks after publication; Leobit got leads from ChatGPT and Claude after that. Referral traffic from AI assistants and branded searches usually grow later, and we do not promise a number for them.
Is this GEO or AEO? +
Same thing under different names: generative engine optimization (GEO), answer engine optimization (AEO), AI search optimization, LLM SEO. All of them mean being named in AI answers. We say LLM SEO because the answers come from large language models.
What should be on our site before the campaign? +
The models look for five things: what you do, who you are best for, why you are credible, which independent sources confirm it, and whether you are the safer pick. A service page for the chosen direction with plain facts answers the first three: what you build, for whom, where, since when, named clients. Clutch and GoodFirms profiles that say the same thing answer the fourth. Crawlers allowed in robots.txt: OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, Googlebot. We check this on the call and tell you what is missing.
How much does it cost? +
30 placements $3,500, 60 placements $7,000, 100 and more: custom. Tracking for a month is included.
