GEO Growth — ideal for businesses with multiple products or services looking to increase brand visibility across competitive spaces, incorporating advanced AI content optimisation, knowledge graph integration, and digital PR to reinforce brand authority.

People looking at some charts on a piece of paper
Is your brand being overlooked by AI assistants and generative search engines?
  • Is your organic website traffic declining?

    The way people search for information is changing rapidly, with AI-powered assistants providing direct answers instead of listing websites. If your brand isn’t optimised for these platforms, you risk losing visibility even if your SEO is strong.

    Generative Engine Optimisation ensures your business is included, cited, and recommended in AI-driven results. This puts your brand in front of the right audience at the very moment they are asking questions.

Ensure your website stays relevant as user behaviour shifts from Google to AI-powered platforms
  • Do you need help meeting your site’s KPIs?

    Search rankings still matter, but they’re no longer the only channel driving traffic. Increasingly, users are asking AI engines for advice, product recommendations, and brand comparisons.

    Our GEO strategies help future-proof your digital presence, making sure your website is not left behind. By aligning your content, structure, and brand signals with AI requirements, we ensure you continue to hit performance targets.

Help your business be recommended by AI assistants in local searches and voice queries
  • Do you want to increase your presence in local search?

    Local discovery is evolving from “near me” searches on Google to direct answers provided by Siri, Alexa, and generative engines. If AI assistants don’t understand your location, services, or authority, your business may never get mentioned.

    GEO ensures your brand is visible and accurately represented in local and voice queries. That means more customers finding you when and where it matters most.

Make sure AI platforms understand and recommend your brand globally
  • Are you entering a new market?

    Expanding internationally is no longer just about translating your website and targeting keywords. AI engines need to recognise your brand, products, and services across multiple languages and cultural contexts.

    Our multilingual GEO campaigns optimise structured data, content, and authority signals so your brand becomes the trusted answer worldwide. This ensures consistency in visibility and reputation, no matter where your customers are searching from.

Our approach to GEO

All our GEO projects are carefully crafted to meet the needs of your business. No two GEO strategies are the same. To create a strategy that delivers serious results, we start with a conversation so we can understand your business objectives.

Technical GEO

A healthy, well-structured website is the foundation of successful Generative Engine Optimisation. Even with strong content and brand authority, if your site isn’t technically optimised for AI engines, it will struggle to be understood and surfaced in generative search results.

AI-driven platforms rely heavily on structured data, clean architecture, and consistent signals to interpret your website correctly. Through technical GEO, we ensure your site is not only discoverable by traditional search engines but also easily understood and referenced by generative models. It’s often the first area we address with clients to build a strong base for long-term GEO success.

Some of the technical GEO factors we help with include:

  • Structured data and schema optimisation (to support AI understanding and knowledge graph connections)
  • Entity mapping and consistency across pages, profiles, and external data sources
  • Crawlability and indexability (ensuring content is easily accessible for both search engines and AI retrievers)
  • Knowledge graph integration to reinforce your brand’s authority and relationships
  • Page speed and performance (fast-loading, mobile-first sites still matter for both SEO and GEO)
  • URL structures and site architecture optimised for clarity and semantic relevance
  • Duplicate content management to avoid confusing both search engines and LLMs
  • Internationalisation and hreflang signals for multilingual GEO campaigns
  • Error resolution (404s, redirects, broken links) to maintain clean signals
  • User experience (UX) ensuring content is easily digestible, structured, and logically presented

Content development for GEO

Alongside technical optimisation, the most important pillar of Generative Engine Optimisation is content. A large proportion of GEO activity is focused on researching, creating, and optimising content that AI platforms can easily interpret, reference, and recommend. We work with you to develop content that not only answers your audience’s questions but also establishes your brand as a trusted authority in your space.

If you don’t have the right content in place, content that aligns with entities, topics, and conversational querie, AI engines will overlook your brand in favour of competitors. It’s that simple.

Our GEO specialists and in-house writers strike the perfect balance between content structured for generative engines and engaging experiences for human readers. By combining conversational tone, depth of coverage, and clear topical signals, we make your content more likely to be cited by AI platforms and more valuable to your audience.

When we build content strategies, we go beyond single-page optimisation. Generative engines look at the domain-wide topical authority and context, so we ensure your content ecosystem works as a whole, reinforcing your brand’s expertise across all relevant themes.

Building Authority for GEO

In the world of GEO, authority is one of the most important off-site signals. Generative engines and AI assistants look beyond search rankings — they draw on trusted sources, brand mentions, and authoritative references to decide which businesses to cite in their answers. That’s why our approach goes further than traditional link building, combining Digital PR, thought leadership, and content distribution to strengthen your brand’s presence in the places AI models learn from.

While backlinks remain valuable, GEO authority is about much more than link counts. It’s about ensuring your brand is consistently referenced across trusted publications, industry sites, and relevant digital spaces. Generative engines are trained to pull from reliable, high-quality content — and the more often your brand appears in those environments, the more likely it is to be recommended.

Our authority-building strategy focuses on three key elements:

Reputation — ensuring your brand is mentioned in trusted, high-authority sources that AI engines use to train and generate responses.
Relevance — securing placements and mentions that directly align with your industry, products, and expertise.
Reach — creating “hero” content and PR campaigns that drive visibility across multiple platforms, ensuring your brand becomes part of the wider conversation.

By building these authority signals, we help ensure your business is not only discoverable in traditional search but also trusted and referenced within AI-generated results.

GEO FAQs

  • Why should I choose FINN Partners for GEO?

    FINN Partners combines deep SEO expertise with a results-driven approach. Our team stays updated on the latest trends, tailoring strategies to your goals. Working closely with our in-house web development team ensures SEO is central to all decisions, delivering healthier websites and higher rankings.

  • What is GEO and why is it important?

    SEO is important because it helps your business improve its online visibility and attract more organic traffic to their website. With the vast amount of information available online, it’s essential you ensure that your website cuts through the noise and appears high in the search results.

    The higher a page ranks in the search results, the better the click-through rate is for that page. By growing the organic traffic arriving to your site for relevant terms, the more likely you are to increase conversions as well, making SEO valuable for revenue growth.

  • How does SEO work?

    SEO involves a mix of strategies, starting with an SEO audit to identify areas for improvement:

    On-Page SEO: Optimising content, meta tags, and internal linking.

    Off-Page SEO: Building backlinks, local citations, and brand mentions.

    Technical SEO: Enhancing site speed, mobile-friendliness, and implementing structured data.

    By combining these, we boost your search rankings and user engagement.

  • How long does SEO take to deliver results?

    Results depend on competition and your site’s authority. Generally, improvements in organic traffic and conversions are noticeable within 3-6 months. SEO is an ongoing process that requires consistent effort for sustained success.

  • What is local SEO, and who benefits from it?

    Local SEO helps businesses rank in geographically-targeted search results by optimising Google Business Profiles, earning reviews, and using location-specific keywords. It’s ideal for businesses serving specific areas or with physical locations.

  • Are keywords important for SEO?

    Search engines are becoming increasingly sophisticated, allowing them to fully understand user intent from search queries.

    Keywords play a critical role in SEO, as they bridge the gap between user intent and website content. Through keyword research, we can uncover invaluable insights into consumer search habits, providing a strategic advantage when determining which keywords to optimise for.

    By identifying and prioritising high-value keywords, we ensure that our content aligns with what users are searching for. Following Google’s guidance, we focus on creating website content that speaks to real users, offering genuine value rather than simply catering to search engines. This approach helps drive meaningful engagement and long-term SEO success.

  • How does link building help SEO?

    Backlinks are extremely valuable when it comes to SEO. Each individual link represents a “vote of confidence” to another website, as they are willing to send their traffic to another domain.

    It is imperative to follow Google’s strict guidelines when it comes to organic outreach. Failure to do so can result in severe penalties that will significantly impact your organic visibility.

    This being said, our advice is not to trust link-building ‘providers’ but instead be sure to seek out reputable, full-service SEO agencies to perform planned and targeted link-building campaigns, which simultaneously monitor the impact of each and every link acquired.

    For businesses looking to understand how internal link building can enhance their SEO strategy, read our article on how businesses can benefit from internal link building.

  • How do you report progress?

    We provide customised live dashboards via Google Looker Studio, delivering detailed monthly reports with actionable insights. You’ll have real-time access to monitor progress anytime.

  • Can you help with website migrations?

    Absolutely. As afull service digital agency means that we regularly build new websites and redesign existing ones, so our SEO team is incredibly experienced when it comes to site migration.

     With a decade of migrations under our belt, website migrations no longer need to be a daunting prospect. We have developed a tried and tested process that allows a seamless transition from one website to another, ensuring that the vast majority of rankings and traffic numbers are maintained on the new website.

  • What is white hat and black hat SEO?

    White hat and black hat refer to two very different sets of tactics used in SEO.

    White hat SEO refers to good SEO practices that search engines like and recommend. White hat SEO techniques include:

    • Quality content writing
    • Building quality backlinks
    • User-friendly website design

    Black hat SEO, meanwhile, is used to describe a number of tactics that are considered bad practice. Websites that use black hat SEO techniques are more likely to be penalized and see a harmful impact to their ranking performance. Examples of these techniques include:

    • Scraped or duplicate content
    • Keyword stuffing
    • Hidden content
    • Link farming
  • How much does an SEO project cost?

    SEO is a bit like buying a car. They all get you from A to B, but some will get you there a lot quicker! The larger your budget, the faster we can deliver you results.

    As a guide, for a typical corporate website, with low to medium competition, an SEO retainer will be in the region of £3k-£4k per month. Highly competitive niches will start to nudge this monthly fee upwards.

    Larger SEO projects for companies with high traffic volumes or larger e-commerce websites and strong competition are usually more time-consuming and therefore require a larger monthly budget. This can be anything from £8k-£10k per month through to £20k or £30k per month.

    Whatever the size of your business, we offer a range of bespoke packages and with a little bit of upfront analysis, get in touch to see how we can best support you and your business.

  • How can you use AI for SEO?

    AI is transforming SEO by making processes faster and smarter. It can assist with keyword research, content optimization, creation, and analysis. AI also identifies content gaps, generates schema markup, and detects technical issues like broken links. Additionally, AI can analyze competitor performance, uncover trends from search data, and pinpoint link-building opportunities. By streamlining these tasks, AI helps businesses improve their SEO strategies and achieve better results efficiently.
