SEO + GEO · AI visibility
Customers no longer compare ten links: they ask ChatGPT or Gemini, or read the AI summary Google shows first. MatSeo measures how each business appears in those answers and carries out the work needed for it to be cited and recommended, with the right details.

The shift
AI assistants answer directly and mention only a handful of businesses. Those left out simply cease to exist for that customer. And when they are mentioned, the phone number, opening hours or website are not always right.
Generated answers resolve the query without the user visiting any website.
An AI answer cites a small number of sources and businesses. Securing those spots is the new competition.
Models favour clear, consistent information backed by reliable external sources.

Methodology
Every project follows the same cycle and is measured against indicators defined in advance, so each action can be linked to its result.
AI assistants are asked the questions customers would ask, and we measure which ones the business appears in and which it does not.
Indicators by layer and by engine, position against competitors, findings and a prioritised action plan.
Approved actions are carried out: listings, directories, reviews, cited sources and, where relevant, the website.
The measurement is repeated, compared with the previous one, and each change is linked to the actions taken.
Why MatSeo
Every action is designed around how language models read, select and cite information, not as a repackaging of traditional SEO.
Mention rate, average position and share of voice against competitors, measured across general, specialty and purchase-occasion questions.
We check that AI gives the right phone number, address, opening hours and website, and fix the source when it doesn't.
Measurement and delivery in English, Spanish and Catalan, using the questions each audience actually asks.
FAQ
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the set of techniques that help a business appear and get cited in answers from generative engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini or Google AI Overviews.
SEO aims to rank pages in a list of results. GEO aims to get AI to mention the business within its answer. They share technical foundations, but GEO puts more weight on clear information, consistent data and authority in external sources.
Yes. The assessment asks different assistants the questions customers would ask and analyses whether the business appears, how it is described and who is recommended instead.
It depends on the starting point and the industry. Fixes to data and listings can show within weeks; presence in the sources AI cites is built over the medium term. Timelines are explained honestly from the assessment onwards.
Yes. Google remains a key source of traffic, and many AI assistants rely on search results to answer. That is why MatSeo works on SEO and GEO together.
No. For businesses without a website, the work focuses on the Google Business Profile, directories, reviews and the sources AI cites, which have the greatest influence on answers about local businesses.
