AEO / GEO
Your buyers are asking ChatGPT. Are they finding you?
Buyers still search Google. More of them also ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews who to hire, and whether two similarly named companies are the same firm.
Three jobs. One team.
SEO gets you discovered. AEO gets you quoted. GEO gets you included when the answer is generated rather than ranked. They are not substitutes.
Geeklab delivers all three from the same in-house team that already builds WordPress and WooCommerce sites, runs SEO and SEM, and reports monthly.
If your name, address, services, and proof are not readable by those systems, you are invisible in the answers they return.
AEO. So a model can quote you.
Clear entities, consistent NAP, plain-text FAQs, and schema a model can quote without inheriting your stylesheet.
GEO. So engines cite you, not a namesake.
llms.txt, markdown siblings, allow-listed crawlers, and citation hygiene so the generated brief includes you.
SEO. Still the foundation.
Technical health, content, links, and local signals. That work lives on our SEO and SEM page.
Cape Town studio
Who this is for
You rank in Google. ChatGPT still skips you, gets you wrong, or mixes you up with a namesake. Geeklab is a Cape Town studio in Somerset West. We work with clients in South Africa and internationally.
Markup leaks into the answer.
FAQ schema and excerpts still carry HTML and CSS. A model then quotes your stylesheet instead of the fact.
A namesake gets the credit.
Two companies share a name, or a 404 still ranks. The generated brief cites them, not you.
What is included
We do not sell a mystery AI ranking score. You get files, schema, copy, and redirects that crawlers and answer engines can use.
llms.txt and llms-full.txt
A short canonical brief at the site root (legal name, trading name, NAP, services, disambiguation) and a longer file for engines that fetch a full brief. Plain text. Live URLs only.
Robots rules for LLM crawlers
Explicit allow or informed disallow for major AI user-agents, without breaking WordPress admin-ajax or sitemaps.
Markdown for agents
Machine-readable mirrors of key pages so agents that prefer .md siblings do not hit a 404.
Schema
Organisation, LocalBusiness, and ProfessionalService graph with legal name, postal address, telephone, email, sameAs, and a disambiguating description. FAQ nodes, if used, contain plain text only. No HTML. No CSS.
FAQs written for citation
Unique questions a page can support with verified facts. We do not stamp the same answers onto every URL.
Entity and NAP
One legal name, trading name, street address, public phone, and public email, repeated in copy, schema, and llms files. For Geeklab: Unit 2, Blandford House, 6 Lourensford Road, Somerset West, 7130. hello@geeklab.co.za. +27 69 145 1793.
Citation graph
Clutch, Trustpilot, LinkedIn, Facebook, live case studies, and 301s or noindex of quote-shell and 404 URLs. Reviews we can point to: Clutch 4.7/5 from 17 reviews, and https://www.trustpilot.com/review/geeklab.co.
On our own site this also meant stating that we are not the Finland SaaS at geeklab.app, and that GHost Cloud (https://ghostcloud.co) is the sister hosting brand, not a second agency.
How we work
AEO and GEO sit with the same Somerset West studio that has done web, WooCommerce, SEO, paid search, social, video, and brand since 2012. We do not subcontract the AI bit.
Answer engines read the whole site. A perfect llms.txt on top of broken schema, recycled FAQs, and 404 service URLs will still produce bad answers.
In-house team. Monthly reporting. WordPress and WooCommerce. AI accelerates production. Humans own quality. We are not claiming to be the first studio in Somerset West to sell AEO. Other local firms already offer it. Hosting questions can go to GHost Cloud. Agency work stays with Geeklab.
01
Audit
We crawl robots, sitemaps, llms.txt, schema, FAQs, NAP, 404s, and leftover excerpts. Poison signals listed apart from gaps.
02
Entity lock
We agree the canonical name, address, phone, email, services, and the not-this-other-company line. Nothing ships that we cannot source.
03
Machine files
We place llms.txt, llms-full.txt, crawler rules, and markdown. Schema gets repaired. Sitemaps get restored if they are failing.
04
Human copy
Unique plain-text FAQs for each page that can support them. British spelling. Live URLs only.
05
Citation hygiene
We 301 or noindex shells, fix captions and excerpts, and line up Clutch, Trustpilot, and social on the same NAP.
06
Report
Monthly, same as our other retainers: what we published, what still blocks crawlers, and what we will not claim yet.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between AEO, GEO, and SEO?
SEO is how pages rank in classic search results. AEO is how your facts become extractable answers (schema, NAP, plain-text FAQs, clear entities). GEO is how generative engines cite you when they write a brief rather than a list of links. Geeklab delivers all three together.
Who is AEO and GEO for?
Brands whose buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google AI Overviews before they enquire. Geeklab is a Cape Town studio in Somerset West and works with South African and international clients.
What does Geeklab actually implement?
llms.txt, llms-full.txt, robots rules for LLM crawlers, markdown for agents, Organisation schema, citation-ready FAQs, entity and NAP, and a citation graph. We implement this on client sites and ran it on geeklab.co.
Does Geeklab invent performance metrics for AEO?
No. Only sourced figures. Independent proof we cite is Clutch 4.7/5 from 17 reviews. Case-study percentages on the site are not unique per client.
