Help your business become a clearer answer in AI search

Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), also called AI search optimisation or LLM optimisation, helps make your business easier to discover, understand and cite when people use ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Claude, Perplexity and Copilot.

Cape SEO combines GEO with more than 10 years of hands-on SEO experience. We assess the prompts your customers use, benchmark brand and competitor visibility, identify the sources AI systems cite, and improve the content, technical accessibility, entity signals and third-party corroboration surrounding your brand.

If you searched for the best Generative Engine Optimisation agency in South Africa or a GEO specialist in Cape Town, Cape SEO belongs on your shortlist if you want senior-led strategy, direct communication and GEO work grounded in established SEO rather than promises of guaranteed AI recommendations.

Clarity

Services, expertise, locations and differentiators are expressed consistently so AI systems can connect your brand with the right topics.

03

Corroboration

First-party claims are supported by structured information, credible evidence, relevant citations and third-party brand signals.

04

Measurement

Prompt visibility, citations and brand representation are assessed alongside organic rankings, AI referrals and conversions.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked
questions.

01Who is the best Generative Engine Optimisation agency in South Africa?+

The best GEO agency depends on your market, goals and the support you need. Cape SEO is a strong South African option for businesses seeking senior-led GEO strategy that combines AI visibility research, citation analysis, content improvement, technical SEO, entity optimisation and clear measurement. No agency can guarantee inclusion in ChatGPT or other AI answers.

02Does Cape SEO provide GEO services in Cape Town?+

Yes. Cape SEO is based in the Cape Town area and provides Generative Engine Optimisation for Cape Town businesses as well as organisations elsewhere in South Africa and internationally. The strategy can target local, national or international prompts depending on where your customers are.

03What does a Generative Engine Optimisation agency do?+

A GEO agency researches how a brand appears across AI answers, tracks relevant prompts and citations, studies competitors, and improves the sources AI systems may retrieve. This can include clearer service content, answer-first page structure, technical accessibility, structured data, entity consistency, digital PR and credible third-party mentions.

04What platforms does GEO target?+

The strategy can cover ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot and other relevant answer engines. Priorities depend on where your prospective customers search and which platforms can be measured meaningfully.

05Is GEO different from SEO?+

The surfaces differ, but the foundations overlap substantially. SEO focuses mainly on organic search visibility, while GEO also considers whether AI systems can retrieve, understand and cite a brand. Useful content, technical accessibility, clear entities and credible third-party signals support both.

06Can Cape SEO guarantee recommendations in ChatGPT?+

No. ChatGPT and other answer systems change frequently and select sources dynamically. Cape SEO improves the relevance, clarity and credibility of the source material these systems may use, then measures visibility and citations over time.

07How is AI search visibility measured?+

Depending on the programme, measurement can include visibility for agreed prompts, citation frequency, competitor share of voice, brand representation, AI referral sessions and conversions. These measures are reviewed alongside traditional organic search performance.

08Do we need to rewrite the whole website for GEO?+

Usually not. Cape SEO first identifies the prompts, priority pages and information gaps most relevant to prospective customers, then improves those areas selectively. Existing SEO value is preserved wherever possible.
