# GeoEngine > GeoEngine helps local businesses get recommended by AI. We write custom AI Visibility Profiles — structured files and pages that let ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini understand your business and surface it to nearby customers. ## About GeoEngine is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) service for local businesses. Founded by Erfan Saraj, GeoEngine was built on a simple insight: search behavior is shifting from Google to AI assistants, but almost no local businesses have optimized for how AI engines read and rank them. GeoEngine scans a business's AI visibility, identifies the gaps that prevent AI from recommending it, and delivers a custom set of structured files and profiles that fix those gaps. The result is a business that AI engines can confidently describe and recommend when a customer asks. GeoEngine is based at geoengine.app. Contact: erfan@geoengine.app. ## What GeoEngine Does GeoEngine provides two core things: **1. Free AI Visibility Scan** Any business can scan their website at geoengine.app/scan in 30 seconds. The scan queries multiple AI engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) and analyzes how well they understand the business. It produces a visibility score (0–100) and a breakdown of specific gaps — missing service descriptions, incomplete location data, absent FAQs, weak differentiation signals, and more. **2. AI Visibility Profile (paid)** GeoEngine writes a custom deliverable for the business, based on their real onboarding data. This includes: - A custom `llms.txt` file: a structured Markdown document in the emerging llms.txt standard, optimized for AI citation and recommendation - An AI Business Profile page: a public, crawlable profile with services, team, FAQs, booking links, and embedded JSON-LD structured data - A `schema.json` pack: LocalBusiness, Service, and FAQPage structured data for search crawlers - A step-by-step upload guide: exact instructions for submitting the profile to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, and other AI platforms Delivery is within 48–72 hours. Every profile is reviewed by a human before delivery. ## Plans and Pricing **Starter — $79** Single-page AI Visibility Profile, llms.txt, basic JSON-LD schema, 72-hour delivery, DIY install guide. **Professional — $199** (most popular) Full AI Visibility Pack including multi-service profile, FAQ optimization, competitor analysis, schema JSON-LD pack, 30-day re-scan, 48-hour delivery, priority support. **Premium — $399** Everything in Professional plus 6-month AI monitoring, quarterly content updates, AI mention tracking, and installation support.

It's the AI-era equivalent of SEO. **What is llms.txt?** llms.txt is an emerging web standard — a structured Markdown file hosted at the root of a website that gives AI engines a clear, parseable briefing about a business. When AI crawlers or users provide this file to an AI assistant, it allows the AI to describe and recommend the business confidently. **Why can't I just write my own llms.txt with ChatGPT?** ChatGPT doesn't know your business and will produce generic or hallucinated content. GeoEngine builds your profile from real onboarding data using GEO optimization rules — correct structure, specific differentiators, and FAQ coverage that actually moves your AI visibility score. **How soon will I show up in AI answers?** Results vary by platform and query volume, but customers typically begin reporting AI-sourced leads within 2–4 weeks of uploading their profile. **Do I need a website?** A website helps but is not required. GeoEngine can build your AI Business Profile page as a standalone public URL that AI engines can index. **Is there a subscription?** No. All plans are one-time payments. Premium includes ongoing monitoring, but no automatic renewals. **What is the refund policy?** 14-day full refund if you are not satisfied, no questions asked. **How do I contact GeoEngine?** Email: erfan@geoengine.app — typically responds within a few hours. ## Contact and Links - Website: https://geoengine.app - Free scan: https://geoengine.app/scan - Pricing: https://geoengine.app/pricing
