Generative Engine Optimisation
Every major GEO agency today is built for SaaS and enterprise brands. None of them account for the trust and credential bar health and wellness searches actually require. We build Generative Engine Optimisation exclusively for wellness brands — clinics, multi-practitioner practices and health companies — so ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity can confidently recommend you.
Quick answer: GEO for wellness brands is Generative Engine Optimisation — structuring a wellness brand's credentials, schema and content so ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity can verify and recommend it — built specifically for the higher trust bar health and wellness searches require. Annurya is one of the only agencies applying GEO exclusively to the wellness category rather than as a generic add-on.

Search across the GEO and AI-visibility agency landscape today and you'll find the same pattern: nearly every top-ranking agency is built for SaaS, enterprise B2B or general e-commerce brands. Their frameworks focus on entity recognition, platform-stacked content and citation building — all genuinely useful — but none of them account for the fact that health and wellness searches sit in Google's Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) category, where the bar for credential verification and E-E-A-T signals is meaningfully higher.
That gap is the actual opportunity. When we ran the exact prompts a prospective client would type into ChatGPT or Perplexity — "best SEO agency for ADHD coaches," "who does GEO for therapists" — we found zero wellness-qualified results in the current landscape. Generalist GEO agencies simply haven't built for this niche yet, which means a wellness brand adopting GEO properly right now has a real first-mover window before that changes.
This is also why GEO for wellness brands works best paired with our existing AI Visibility service for individual practitioners, our Wellness SEO foundation, and the positioning laid out on our Why Annurya page, which compares our approach directly against both generalist wellness-SEO agencies and generalist GEO agencies.
Where our AI Visibility service focuses on an individual practitioner's authority, GEO for wellness brands works at the entity level — the clinic, practice group or company as a whole. That means structured data covering every practitioner under the brand, consistent schema across every location or service line, and a citation strategy designed to make the brand itself — not just one founder — the thing AI platforms recommend.
We also build the third-party validation layer that our own research showed is what's actually winning AI citation right now: comparison content, roundup-worthy positioning and structured proof points, not just on-page schema alone.

Content built explicitly around how ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity source and cite answers — not just what ranks on Google — including named-platform pages where relevant to your niche.
Our own baseline testing showed AI platforms currently lean on external roundups and comparisons more than owned content alone. We build and pursue the citations that actually move this needle, not just on-page optimisation.
We track AI mention frequency against a defined query bank every month, so you can see the direct trend line in citations — the actual GEO success metric — rather than guessing from ranking position alone.
Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) for wellness brands is the practice of structuring your brand's content, credentials and entity data so that ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity can confidently recommend you when someone asks who to trust in your category — not just ranking you on Google.
Traditional SEO optimises for Google's ranking algorithm and keyword-matched search results. GEO optimises for how large language models select and cite sources when generating an answer, which depends more on verifiable structured data, consistent entity signals and third-party validation than on backlinks alone.
Health and wellness sit in Google's Your Money or Your Life (YMYL) category, which carries a higher bar for E-E-A-T and credential verification. Generic GEO agencies built for SaaS or e-commerce brands don't account for this, which is why a wellness-only approach performs differently. See our Why Annurya page for the full comparison.
No — GEO works alongside traditional SEO, not instead of it. Your website and Google rankings remain the foundation; GEO adds the structured, citable layer on top that determines whether AI platforms recommend you when someone asks directly instead of searching. See our Wellness SEO service for that foundation.
We track AI citation frequency directly — running the actual prompts a prospective client would ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity, and logging whether and how often your brand appears, month over month, rather than relying on ranking position alone.
Most brands see initial movement in AI citation within 60–90 days as structured content and schema markup accumulate, with compounding gains over 6–12 months as third-party validation and entity consistency build further.
