When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity "who's the best SEO agency in NZ?" — is your business the answer? GEO makes sure it is. No other NZ agency offers this at the SME price point.
Start GEO from $749/moGenerative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is the practice of making your business visible in the answers generated by AI tools — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude. These tools don't just list links; they give direct answers, and they cite specific businesses by name.
Traditional SEO gets you ranked in Google's blue links. GEO gets you named when someone asks an AI "what's the best [your service] in [your area]?" — which is increasingly how buying decisions start, especially among younger and tech-forward customers.
The window to get ahead is right now. Most NZ businesses haven't started thinking about GEO yet. That means there's a real first-mover advantage available for businesses willing to move early. Mahi Digital is the only agency in NZ offering GEO at the SME price point.
AI search engines pull from: structured data (schema markup), content that directly answers questions, authoritative mentions across the web, consistent entity information (name, address, phone, description), and conversational FAQ-format content. GEO is the practice of systematically optimising all of these signals.
We implement and maintain the JSON-LD schema that tells AI tools exactly who you are, what you do, where you operate, and what customers say about you. This is the foundation every GEO strategy is built on.
We create content specifically designed to answer the questions people ask AI tools — FAQ pages, service descriptions, and comparison content written in the natural language AI engines are trained to pull from.
AI tools build a picture of your business from mentions across the web. We strengthen your "entity" — making sure your name, category, location, and services are consistent and authoritative everywhere AI tools look.
On the AI-First plan, we actively monitor whether your business is being cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI responses. Monthly reporting shows your AI visibility score and how it's trending.
We ensure all major AI crawlers — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, and others — can access your site. Many NZ websites accidentally block them through misconfigured robots.txt settings.
The emerging standard for AI-readable site summaries. We create and maintain your llms.txt file — a plain-language summary of your business written specifically for AI systems to consume and cite.
Get cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI — before your competitors figure this out.
