Generative engine optimisation (GEO) for charities

Is your charity invisible to AI search?

Google’s AI Overviews and ChatGPT are changing how people find information. That means your charity needs to think beyond traditional search results. Generative engine optimisation (GEO) is about making sure your organisation’s content is visible in these AI-generated answers.

We’ll make sure your charity is cited in these AI search platforms, increasing your brand visibility and traffic.


AI has changed search. Here’s what that means for your charity.

When someone searches Google today, they often get their answer directly from an AI Overview at the top of the results page. They don’t need to click through to your website.

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Bing Copilot are doing the same thing. People are asking AI tools for advice and information instead of browsing traditional search results.

Your charity’s website traffic, donor enquiries, and brand visibility are all at risk if AI platforms don’t recognise your content as authoritative and trustworthy. But there’s an opportunity here too. Charities who adapt now will become the go-to sources that AI platforms cite again and again. If it’s not you being cited in these platforms, another organisation will happily take your place.

Find out more about the impact of AI overviews in our comprehensive guide.


What GEO can do for your charity

Generative engine optimisation is the process of structuring and optimising your website so that AI platforms like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews can extract it, understand it, trust it, and cite it.

Keep your charity visible as search behaviour changes and fewer people click traditional results.

Become the trusted source that AI platforms reference when people ask about your cause area.

Reach supporters at the right moment with complex, conversational queries that traditional search can’t handle.

Future-proof your digital presence for the next decade of search evolution.
