What is GEO?
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) means making a business readable and recommendable by AI assistants. It extends SEO: both rely on a website rich in useful content and on consistent information wherever you are present.

Generative Engine Optimization · Visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini
AI search visibility
Your business recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity
Your customers no longer search only on Google. They ask an AI where to host their event, where to have lunch, which provider to choose. And the AI does not offer ten links: it recommends three names.
If it finds nothing clear about you, it recommends someone else. Arkone makes you readable and recommendable by AI. That is GEO.

Why your website matters again
Many businesses did without a website: an Instagram account or a form was enough. With AI, they become invisible again. The website is the source ChatGPT and Perplexity cite most, and the only one you fully control.
Who is it for?
High-value venues and providers
Restaurants with private rooms, event venues, caterers, event providers.
A single booking won can pay for a whole year of support.
Local businesses with no website, or a thin one
Tradespeople, shops, independent professionals.
Your customers ask a question before choosing.
Our method
Visibility audit
25 searches written the way your customers would ask them, tested on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google’s AI answers. For each answer: are you cited, in what position, with accurate information? Which competitors appear instead of you, and which sources does the AI use?
The right indicator
We track your citation rate on searches that do not mention your name: your ability to be recommended to someone who does not know you yet. That is what brings in new customers.
An action plan
Based on what AI assistants actually read in your sector and area.
Monthly follow-up
The same panel of key searches, tested every month with the same protocol, a full audit every six months, and a cross-check with your incoming requests.
The levers
Your website
One page per searched need, using your customers’ exact words (“corporate dinner”, “group menus”), rather than a plain description of your spaces or services.
Your Google profile
Gemini’s near-only source, and widely read by Google’s AI answers: categories, description, photos, Q&A.
Consistent information everywhere
One reference version of your opening hours, capacities, offers and descriptions, rolled out on your website, social media, booking platforms and directories. Contradictory information costs you the AI’s trust.
Platforms and directories
Enrich your existing listings first, before paying for new ones.
Reviews
Ratings and review volume are picked up by AI. We provide the kit (QR code, reply templates); you collect.
A real example: Le Père Joseph
A restaurant with private event spaces, 15 minutes from La Défense. At the start, it was cited in only 38% of searches that did not mention its name, and absent from seminar searches. First signal: after a page dedicated to birthdays went live, September birthday requests doubled year on year.

Frequently asked questions
Does GEO replace SEO?
No, it extends it. Both rely on a website rich in useful content. GEO adds consistent information across all your platforms and pages that answer customers’ real questions.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend me?
No. AI assistants are third-party systems, and nobody can guarantee a ranking. We guarantee the method, the work and the measurement: every month, you see where you stand.
How long before we see results?
A well-targeted page can be picked up by AI within a few days. But answers vary from one day to the next, so we read results over several months. Think about your seasons too: content must be online well before your customers book.
Isn’t my Instagram account enough?
It remains useful for your image, but AI assistants rely first on your website and your Google profile.
Do I need to pay to be listed in directories?
Rarely as a first step. You are often already on several platforms: the lever is to enrich those listings. A directory is only worth it if AI actually cites it for your searches.
Which AI assistants do you track?
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google’s AI answers (AI Overviews).
Do AI assistants recommend you?
Request your audit: 25 searches, 4 AI assistants, your competitors, an action plan and a first design draft. €590 excl. VAT, deducted from the final price if you sign within 30 days.
