What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing your content to appear in AI-generated responses. When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google Gemini a question, GEO ensures your brand is cited as a source. It involves entity optimization, structured data implementation, authoritative content creation, and building your digital knowledge graph.

The Problem

Why Traditional SEO Fails in 2025

Search has fundamentally changed. If your SEO strategy hasn't evolved, you're losing visibility every day.

AI Overviews Steal Your Traffic

Google's AI Overviews answer queries directly. Users get information without clicking your website. Traditional rankings mean less when AI summarizes your content for free.

ChatGPT & Perplexity Are New Search

Millions now search using AI chatbots instead of Google. If your brand isn't trained into these models, you're invisible to an entire generation of searchers.

SEO "Gurus" Sell Hype, Not Results

The internet is full of SEO advice from people who've never actually ranked a website. They sell courses, not results. They chase trends, not revenue.

Vanity Metrics Don't Pay Bills

Most SEO focuses on rankings and traffic numbers. But your business needs customers, not dashboard screenshots. Traffic without conversions is just expensive vanity.

The businesses that thrive in 2025 aren't just optimizing for search engines—they're building systems that turn search visibility into predictable revenue. That's what I help Sri Lankan businesses achieve.

The Person Behind the SEO

Not a Guru. A Practitioner.

I'm Alston Antony—born in Colombo, Sri Lanka, currently based in Coimbatore, India. I've been working with WordPress SEO since 2010, long before it was trendy. My MSc dissertation at the University of Greenwich (Distinction) was on "Automated Search Engine Optimization Management Systems"—it was selected as one of the year's most interesting projects.

I'm not here to sell you motivation or hype. I don't do theory courses. I show you my screen, my actual websites, my real analytics, my mistakes and corrections. If I recommend something, it's because I've tested it on my own projects first.

Currently, I'm the Digital Marketing Manager at Brainstorm Force (the team behind Astra WordPress Theme), working on AI products like ZipWP. I've also built and ranked websites in multiple niches, taught 30,000+ students, and maintain a community of 15,000+ professionals.

What You Actually Get

Revenue, Not Vanity Metrics

To you, SEO should mean more than ranking and traffic. It should mean customers, revenue, and a marketing channel that works while you sleep.

Customers Through Search

Not just traffic—actual customers who find you through Google and AI platforms and convert into paying clients.

AI Platform Visibility

Get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews when potential customers ask questions in your industry.

Predictable System

Transform SEO from random tactics into a repeatable system that delivers consistent results month after month.

Local Market Dominance

Rank for Sri Lanka-specific searches in Colombo, Kandy, Galle, Jaffna, and across the country where your customers actually search.

Future-Proof Skills

Learn SEO skills that AI can't replace. Build expertise that compounds over time as search evolves.

No Hype, No Overwhelm

Work with someone who won't lie to you, won't overwhelm you, and won't push services you don't need. Just honest, actionable guidance.

How I Work

Implementation-First Process

No 40-hour courses. No theory overload. Just a practical approach focused on getting you results.

Discovery Call (Free)

We talk about your business, your goals, and your current situation. I'll be honest about whether I can help you and what realistic results look like. No sales pitch—just a straight conversation about what's possible.

Technical Audit & Quick Wins

I analyze your website's technical foundation, find the low-hanging fruit, and identify issues that are costing you rankings right now. We fix the fundamentals first because nothing else works on a broken foundation.

Keyword & Revenue Mapping

Strategic keyword research focused on commercial intent—not vanity keywords that drive traffic but no money. Every keyword gets a dollar value. We prioritize based on revenue potential, not search volume.

Content & GEO Implementation

We create or optimize content that ranks in both Google and AI platforms. This includes entity optimization, structured data, and strategic positioning to get cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews.

Authority Building

White-hat link building, digital PR, and brand mentions that build genuine authority. No shortcuts, no PBNs, no tactics that will get you penalized next year.

Measure, Learn, Compound

Monthly reporting focused on what matters: revenue impact, customer acquisition, and ROI. We learn from what works, double down on winners, and continuously improve the system.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to common questions about AI SEO and working together.

AI SEO combines traditional search engine optimization with strategies designed for AI-powered search platforms. While traditional SEO focuses on ranking in Google's organic results, AI SEO also optimizes for visibility in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and other generative engines. This includes Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), entity optimization, and building your brand's presence in AI knowledge systems. The goal is ensuring your business stays visible no matter how search evolves.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing your content to appear in AI-generated responses. When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google Gemini a question in your industry, GEO ensures your brand is cited as a source. It involves entity optimization, structured data implementation, authoritative content creation, and building your digital knowledge graph so AI systems understand who you are and why you're credible.

AI is fundamentally changing how people search. Google's AI Overviews now answer many queries directly, and platforms like ChatGPT are becoming primary research tools. Businesses that adapt now will build competitive advantages that compound over time. Those who wait risk becoming invisible as search behavior shifts toward AI-powered discovery. The businesses dominating search in 2-3 years are the ones building AI visibility today.

I actually rank websites—including my own. I don't sell theory courses or motivational speeches. I show you my screen, my actual analytics, my real projects, my mistakes and corrections. I have an MSc in Software Engineering with a dissertation on automated SEO systems, BCS professional membership, and 15+ years of hands-on experience. I'm not a guru selling hype; I'm a practitioner who's built and ranked dozens of websites across multiple niches.

Quick wins from technical fixes and low-competition keywords can appear within 4-8 weeks. Significant ranking improvements typically manifest within 3-6 months. The timeline depends on your current website state, competition level, and scope of work. I won't promise overnight results—anyone who does is lying to you. But I will focus on revenue-generating quick wins first while building toward long-term compounding growth.

Yes. As a remote-first consultant, I work with businesses across all of Sri Lanka including Colombo, Kandy, Galle, Jaffna, Negombo, and beyond. I also serve international clients, particularly in India and the UK. All collaboration happens through video calls, email, and project management tools. I'm based in Coimbatore, India, but I'm Sri Lankan-born and understand the local market deeply.

That's completely fine. Most of my clients aren't technical—they're business owners, marketers, and entrepreneurs who want results without needing a computer science degree. I specialize in "No-Code SEO"—using WordPress, Shopify, and other platforms that don't require coding. If you can use Microsoft Word, you can do the SEO work I teach. I handle the technical complexity; you focus on your business.

Send me an email at alston@alstonantony.com with your website URL and a brief description of your business. I'll review your site and schedule a free consultation call to discuss your goals, challenges, and whether I can actually help you. No sales pitch, no pressure—just an honest conversation about what's possible. If we're a good fit, we'll discuss next steps. If not, I'll point you in the right direction.

Don't Just Rank. Bank.
