Your buyers aren't clicking anymore — the shift to AI search.
Buyers don't browse anymore. They ask ChatGPT. They ask Perplexity. They get an answer, two or three sources cited, and they move on.
According to SparkToro/Datos clickstream research, 58.5% of US Google searches end without a click — users get answers directly from AI overviews and featured snippets. Gartner projects 25% of all searches will move to AI by 2026. The shift is already here.
If your content isn't one of the cited sources, you don't exist in the conversation — even if you rank #1 on Google.
This is a different problem than SEO. AI engines use retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to select what they cite. The signals are different: fact density, semantic structure, schema, citation authority, content freshness. Backlinks and keyword density don't move the needle.
Most B2B teams have no idea whether AI cites them at all. No baseline. No measurement. No plan.
ArcSurf optimizes your content for the way AI actually retrieves it.
We call it the GEO Blueprint — a five-phase methodology grounded in peer-reviewed research (Aggarwal et al., KDD '24) that demonstrated up to 40% visibility improvement using GEO techniques.
- Strategic targeting — Identify the AI queries your buyers actually use. Find your gaps.
- Content engineering — Restructure for wiki-voice, fact density, and the patterns RAG systems prefer.
- Technical deployment — JSON-LD schema, semantic HTML, AI-crawler access,
llms.txt. - Testing & red-teaming — Run prompt matrices across platforms. Verify citation. Stress-test against adversarial queries.
- Maintenance & re-optimization — Continuous monitoring, refresh cycles, and adaptation to platform changes.
We use this methodology on ourselves. Here's the data.
Our first case study is our own site. We applied the GEO Blueprint to arcsurf.ai and published the result: the queries we rank for, our ArcSurf Score across platforms, and the before/after of every page you're reading right now. If we can't optimize ourselves, we have no business optimizing you.
Currently in progress: GEO Sprint with a crypto market maker and quantitative trading firm — optimizing their research content and methodology pages for AI citation across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. Results expected mid-2026.

No. SEO wins clicks on Google. GEO wins citations on ChatGPT. They're different pipelines — and right now you're only optimizing one of them.
No one can — same as no one guarantees Google rank #1. What we guarantee is a rigorous, measurable, reproducible process grounded in published research, with transparent data showing exactly what changed and why.
The foundational research (Aggarwal et al.) was published at KDD 2024, one of the top AI conferences. The paper demonstrated measurable visibility improvements across domains. We can share it.
We're in a select cohort phase — small number of first clients at a case-study rate. You'll see your own audit data before committing anything. Methodology is publicly auditable.
Find out if AI is citing you.
The audit takes 3–5 days. Costs nothing. The data is yours whether you hire us or not.
