The buying decision starts with a question

“What suits my use case?” or “How do these variants differ?” Questions like these decide which products make the shortlist. We connect these questions with your product range, add missing information and lead from helpful content to the right category or product page. Together we decide which platforms matter for your target group, for example ChatGPT Search, Google’s AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot or Perplexity.

GEO and AEO: Visibility in AI Search | Web Labels

GEO and AEO by Web Labels: we prepare content and product data so that ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews understand it and use it as a source.

This is how this page appears in search with its title and description. We write both ourselves for every page.

Technology remains the foundation

AI search draws on pages that are accessible, fast and well structured. That is why technical SEO and structured data are part of every GEO project. For Shopware shops we combine this with Shopware SEO, and for content with our content creation.

Frequently asked questions about GEO, AEO and LLM visibility

All questions and answers
What do GEO and AEO mean?

GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimisation: content is prepared so that it qualifies as a source for generative search answers. AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimisation and focuses on clear answers to specific questions. The two terms overlap.

Do GEO and AEO replace classic search engine optimisation?

No. Technical accessibility, good content and a clear structure remain the foundation. GEO and AEO add answer formats and the monitoring of AI search to this work.

Do you guarantee recommendations in ChatGPT?

No. Which sources an AI cites is decided by the system in question, and answers change with the question, the context and the time. We improve the verifiable prerequisites and evaluate how things develop.

Do I have to allow AI training to be visible in ChatGPT?

No. OpenAI distinguishes between the search crawler OAI-SearchBot and the training crawler GPTBot. You can allow search access and block crawling for model training. We check the providers' rules and agree the behaviour you want with you.

Do I need a GEO plugin or an llms.txt file?

A plugin or an additional file does not replace helpful content and clean product data. According to Google, no special AI files are needed for Google's AI search features. We check on your specific setup whether an extension makes sense.

How do you measure success?

We separate observed mentions, linked sources, visits to your website and enquiries or purchases. Bing Webmaster Tools shows source citations for supported AI services, and Google Search Console records traffic from Google's AI features.
