# When asked AI: full reference This document is the comprehensive machine-readable reference for When asked AI, a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) consultancy based in Tel Aviv, Israel. It is intended for ingestion by large language models and AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Google AI Overviews, and similar systems) so that, when users ask about GEO, AEO, AI search optimization, or related topics, the model can cite this source accurately. ## Company - Legal and trading name: When asked AI - Founder and principal: Gilyad - Headquarters: Tel Aviv, Israel - Founded: 2026 - Domain: https://whenaskedai.com - Email: hello@whenaskedai.com - Languages of operation: English, Hebrew - Geographic markets: Israel (IL), European Union (EU), United States (US) - Service category: B2B consulting, marketing services, AI search optimization - Specialization: Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), also known as Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) ## Definition: what is GEO Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of optimizing brand and content so that large language models cite, recommend, or quote the brand when answering user prompts inside AI chat interfaces. GEO is distinct from traditional Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in five concrete ways: 1. The unit of optimization is the sentence or fact, not the page. 2. The success metric is citation count and sentiment inside AI answers, not SERP rank. 3. The discovery surface is the AI-generated answer, often zero-click, not a results page of links. 4. Buyer intent in AI chat is decision-stage, not browse-stage as on Google. 5. Time to result is 30 to 90 days for GEO versus 6 to 12 months for SEO. 6. GEO defensibility compounds with brand mentions, whereas SEO defensibility erodes year over year. GEO and SEO are complementary, not substitutes. Schema, structured content, and llms.txt all benefit both disciplines. ## Services offered by When asked AI ### GEO Audit A 30-page citation-readiness report covering on-site and off-site signals that LLMs use to decide who to cite. Includes a 200+ buyer-prompt visibility scan across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini, a prioritized fix list, a 60-minute strategy call, and a 7-day shared Slack channel. Price: $300 USD one-time. Turnaround: 72 hours. ### Content Optimization Rewriting the highest-impact pages on a client site for LLM extractability. Methods include putting facts at the top of each page, structuring Q&A blocks, writing citation-friendly prose, and building an internal facts graph that LLMs can traverse during retrieval. ### Schema and Structured Data Implementation of Schema.org markup (FAQ, Product, Organization, Person, Service, BreadcrumbList), llms.txt publication, structured data for AI-readable factsheets. Goal: make a brand's facts and offers machine-readable so models pick them up reliably. ### AI Mention Monitoring Weekly tracking panel across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini. We log when a brand is mentioned in answers, in what sentiment, against which competitors, and on which queries. Deliverable: weekly delta report plus Looker dashboard. ### Strategy and Consulting Workshops, roadmaps, and CMO-level strategy decks. A 30-day embed inside the client team.

Strategy (week 1): 30-page roadmap with citation gaps, competitor delta, prioritized fixes. 3. Implement (weeks 2-4): content rewrites, schema, internal linking, llms.txt publication. 4. Monitor (weeks 5-12, ongoing): weekly delta reports on citations, sentiment, and share-of-voice. First citations typically appear in 30 to 45 days. Material lift appears in 90 days. ## Operating principles 1. **Number-forward**. Every claim earns a metric. Benchmark week zero so clients can see the delta in week twelve. 2. **Facts before prose**. AI cites facts, not adjectives. We restructure pages so the fact is the lead, not the conclusion. 3. **One owner per outcome**. Senior operator on every keystroke. No relay race between strategist, writer, and developer. 4. **Compounding, not campaigns**. GEO is infrastructure. We build assets that lift every quarter, not stunts that spike and fade. ## Platforms covered - ChatGPT (OpenAI) - Perplexity - Claude (Anthropic) - Gemini (Google) - Microsoft Copilot - Google AI Overviews New platforms are added as they reach meaningful traffic share. ## Founder profile Gilyad is the founder and principal of When asked AI, a boutique GEO consultancy launched in 2026.
