Generative Engine Optimization agency in Toronto.

When a customer asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Google for a recommendation, we make sure yours is the name that comes back. That is Generative Engine Optimization — GEO, SEO’s successor. We do both.

Where we get you found

One brand, six AI engines to win.

People no longer only search. They ask. Each engine decides what it recommends differently, so each one has to be earned differently.

How search got here, in four moves

2004 → now
  1. 2004

    Ten blue links

    Search meant a ranked list. You optimised for position, and a click was the only currency.

  2. 2015

    Intent & entities

    Engines started understanding meaning, not strings. Knowledge panels and rich results reshaped the page.

  3. 2023

    The answer arrives

    Generative models began answering directly. The destination became the response, not the website.

  4. Now

    Conversation & recommendation

    People ask assistants and act on what they're told. Visibility is being named, or being invisible.

Generative Engine Optimization is what the fourth move made necessary. How GEO differs from SEO and AEO.

Why LumiRank

An agency reports what happened. We ship the next fix.

Software tells you what changed. Neither does the next piece of work. That gap is the job.

  • 1

    Full-funnel strategy

    SEO, GEO, paid media, social, content and conversion, mapped as one system instead of five disconnected vendors reporting in five different formats.

  • 2

    AI-powered intelligence

    We track visibility signals across Google and AI engines continuously, surfacing opportunities a quarterly manual audit would miss.

    Execution where it compounds

    SEO, GEO, content and technical work are built and shipped by LumiRank directly, not handed back as homework.

  • 4

    One growth system

    Search, paid and social are run by one team against one strategy, instead of drifting into separate vendors optimising against each other.

  • 5

    Measured in business outcomes

    Visibility, traffic, leads and revenue influence, reported against a real baseline, not vanity metrics.

How the weekly loop works

4 stages

Every week the same loop runs: watch the surfaces, work out what changed and why, rank what it is worth fixing, ship it.

What a finding looks like: illustrative, not a client’s results

  • Competitor A is appearing in 14 high-intent AI questions where your brand is absent.

    High impact

  • Your Toronto service page ranks but is rarely cited by AI systems.

    Likely cause: Thin entity + answer structureNext action: Improve entity clarity, supporting evidence, and answer structure.

Founder & Generative Engine Optimization strategist

Dmytro founded LumiRank to answer one question: when someone asks an AI which brand to trust, whose name comes back? He works at the seam of classical SEO and Generative Engine Optimization, building the entity architecture and semantic authority that make brands the source models cite.

Questions

What teams ask about AI search.

The short version of how Generative Engine Optimization works, and where it differs from the SEO you already know.

Still deciding? Talk to a Growth Strategist.

What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of making a brand the source that AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Copilot) cite, paraphrase, and recommend. Instead of optimizing for a ranked list of links, GEO engineers the structured facts, corroborated claims, and off-site mentions that decide whether a model names your brand in its answer.

How is GEO different from traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO optimizes for position in a list of ten blue links and is measured in clicks. GEO optimizes for being named inside a single synthesized answer and is measured in citations, mentions, and share of model voice. SEO remains the entry ticket, since most AI surfaces still draw from pages that rank, but GEO adds entity architecture, semantic authority, and off-site corroboration that classical ranking factors don't capture.

Which AI engines and surfaces does LumiRank optimize for?

We optimize for the major answer engines and the indexes behind them: ChatGPT (Bing index plus OpenAI's own crawler), Google AI Overviews and AI Mode (Gemini grounded in Google Search), Perplexity, Claude, Gemini across Google's products, and Microsoft Copilot (grounded in Bing). Because each engine sources answers differently, we tune the entity, content, and citation signals each one rewards.

How do you measure AI search visibility?

We track a maintained panel of the prompts your buyers actually use, run them across every major engine on a schedule, and measure share of voice (how often you're named versus competitors) alongside the sentiment and accuracy of how you're described. The output is a weekly baseline and trend, tied to the specific actions moving your numbers, rather than click counts that AI answers no longer generate.

Does classical SEO still matter for AI search?

Yes. Crawlable, fast, cleanly rendered pages are a prerequisite, because engines can't cite what they can't reach or parse, and Google's AI surfaces draw heavily from pages already ranking in classic Search. GEO builds on that foundation with structured entities, topical depth, and earned off-site mentions, which recent studies find correlate with AI visibility far more strongly than backlinks alone.

How long does Generative Engine Optimization take to show results?

Technical and entity foundations can be corrected in weeks, but visibility compounds: most engagements see measurable movement in share of model voice within one to two quarters as corroborating mentions accumulate and engines update what they know about your brand. GEO is a continuous operating rhythm, not a one-time launch. Gains build on each other and become harder for competitors to dislodge over time.

The free growth audit

Find out where your brand appears on Google and in AI answers.

Twenty minutes, no slides. We look at where you surface across Google and the AI engines, what your paid, social and conversion picture looks like, and where a competitor is being named instead of you.

You’ll talk to Dmytro Hrysiuk, not a sales rep.

No pitch and no retainer talk on the call. If a paid audit is the right next step we will say so; it is a separate, unbundled product. Want the detail first? See how LumiRank works.
