What a GEO specialist does

Gets a brand found, cited, and recommended by AI systems. That is my work, on three fronts.

01

GEO diagnosis and strategy

AI presence audits: how models answer questions about your market, where your brand shows up, which sources shape those answers, and what to adjust.

02

Data-driven research

Studies on how AI answers change by industry, seasonality, and cited source, published with open methodology.

03

Platform and technology

I built First Answer from scratch: it collects answers from multiple LLMs and continuously measures brand citations and share of voice.

Frequently asked questions

Who is Rodrigo Beckmann?

Rodrigo Beckmann is a GEO specialist and the co-founder and CTO of First Answer, a Brazilian platform that monitors brand visibility in AI answers.

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO is the optimization of a brand’s presence in generative AI engines. Instead of ranking links, the goal is to get models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity to cite and recommend the brand in their answers.

What is the difference between SEO, AEO, and GEO?

SEO optimizes a page to rank in traditional search. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) optimizes to be the direct answer to a question. GEO focuses on being cited and recommended by generative AI models. The three complement each other.

How do I make my brand appear in ChatGPT?

To appear in ChatGPT, your brand needs content structured for extraction, citable sources, and consistent presence across the sites the model uses as references. That is the GEO work we monitor and optimize at First Answer.

How do I measure my brand’s share of voice in AI?

You measure it by tracking how often and in what position your brand is cited in AI answers, compared to competitors, across a set of relevant questions. First Answer monitors this continuously.

Why is my brand not cited by AI?

Usually because the content is not structured for extraction, sources are inconsistent, or models find no trustworthy evidence about the brand. An AI presence audit identifies the cause.

Who are the GEO specialists in Brazil?

GEO is a recent discipline in Brazil. Rodrigo Beckmann works in the field as co-founder of First Answer, a Brazilian platform dedicated to monitoring and optimizing B2B brand visibility in AI systems.

How does an AI presence audit work?

An audit maps how AI models answer questions in your market, where your brand appears (or does not), which sources influence those answers, and what to adjust to gain visibility.
