The search landscape changed.
Most brands haven’t caught up.

Six things that make AI
engines cite your brand.
We restructure key pages with direct 50-80 word answers under question-format headings. AI engines extract these to construct their responses.
Comprehensive JSON-LD schema, consistent NAP data, and Wikipedia-style entity structure that tells AI models exactly who you are and what you offer.
We build out FAQ sections matching the exact questions people ask AI engines about your niche — with answers structured for direct AI extraction.
AI models trust brands mentioned across authoritative sources. We build your citation footprint across 3-5 new relevant sources per month.
We test your brand across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini for 8-10 target queries. Results tracked and reported monthly.
AI answers vary by language. We optimize visibility in English, Spanish, and German separately — targeting different audience markets simultaneously.
The window is open — for now.
GEO is still new enough that early movers own their category in AI search results before competitors realize it’s happening. We accept one client per niche per region to protect competitive advantage.
GEO can be combined with Core SEO and AI Content Systems for comprehensive visibility across both traditional and AI search.

GEO Questions
What is GEO and how does it differ from SEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) targets your ranking in Google’s list of links. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) targets the AI-generated paragraph users read before clicking any link. Both are essential — SEO builds the foundation, GEO captures the growing share of users who get their answers directly from AI without visiting a website.
Is GEO available in Ecuador?
Yes. Maracuya Marketing is among the first agencies in Ecuador and Latin America offering dedicated GEO services. Almost no Ecuador businesses are currently optimizing for AI search, which means first movers own their niche in AI results before competitors realize the opportunity exists. That window will not stay open indefinitely.
How quickly does GEO show results?
Early AI citation appearances typically begin within 60-90 days of implementation for lower-competition niches. Full brand establishment in AI results usually takes 4-6 months. Ecuador’s low GEO competition means results arrive faster here than in US or European markets.
How is GEO performance measured?
We test your brand monthly across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini for 8-10 target queries. We track: does your brand appear, in what position within the AI response, and how your share of voice compares to competitors. All documented in a monthly report alongside traditional SEO metrics from Google Search Console.
What clients experience
with GEO.
“Within 60 days we were appearing in ChatGPT recommendations for ayahuasca retreats in Ecuador. We had never appeared in any AI answer before starting GEO.”
Retreat Center Owner — Pichincha, Ecuador“Perplexity started citing our website when people searched for plant medicine retreats. It brought in guests who said they found us through AI search — a channel that didn’t exist for us before.”
Healing Center Director — Mindo, Ecuador“I had no idea Google was generating AI summaries that could include my business. After the GEO optimization, we appeared in the AI Overview for our main keyword within the first month.”
Service Business Owner — Quito, Ecuador“The monthly AI visibility report is eye-opening. I can now see exactly which queries our brand appears in across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI — and how we compare to competitors.”
