GEO agency for European companies — fixes shipped in code
AVE Studio ships the fixes in code that make AI name you when your buyers ask — and measures whether it actually changed. The market calls this layer GEO (generative engine optimization); for us it is the retrieval half of machine equity.

GEO here stands for generative engine optimization — often called AI search optimization: whether generated AI answers name you. It is not geospatial analytics, GIS or geodesy — those use the same three letters in a different industry.
A Budapest-based studio working for Hungarian and European companies, measuring in Hungarian and English.
What does a GEO agency do?
Your buyers increasingly get a finished answer instead of ten links — from ChatGPT, Google's AI Mode, Perplexity. A GEO agency works to get your company into those answers: machines can reach your site, understand precisely who you are and what you claim, and you are present in the sources the engines select from.
How is AVE Studio different?
Three commitments, and you can hold AVE Studio to all three: we start with measurement, we ship code, and we promise no position in AI answers. These three are what the proposal commits to as well — not marketing claims, but the boundary of the work.
Before you choose a provider — us or anyone else — hold them to the same list: How to choose a GEO provider — what to demand
We start with measurement, not opinion
We run a fixed set of real buyer questions repeatedly, engine by engine, and report the result with a margin of error. You get the raw data alongside the report.
We deliver in code, not in advice
Our diagnosis ends with ready-to-paste schema code, answer-ready copy and an action plan — not a PDF your developer still has to translate into work.
We don't guarantee — and we say so up front
No one can guarantee a position inside a generated answer; whoever does is not measuring their claim. What we commit to: a re-measurement with the same method, where the change shows.
The four GEO modules
Four steps that build on each other: a baseline measurement, target selection, diagnosis, fixes shipped in code. Every price covers the base scope — one language, the core question set — and extensions are quoted at a fixed price after the diagnosis.
Citation Tracker — visibility baseline audit
Does AI name you when your buyers ask? Repeated measurement across the major AI surfaces, with confidence intervals.
from HUF 95,000 net (approx. €240)
Selector — real question portfolio
Which real buyer questions are worth competing for? A measurement-validated question set in five intent categories.
from HUF 140,000 net (approx. €350)
Gap Analysis — why does AI skip you?
Why does AI name the competitor? Page-by-page, question-by-question diagnosis against the actual answers.
from HUF 170,000 net (approx. €425)
Gap Closure — finished fixes
Ready-to-paste schema code, FAQ copy, page outlines, llms.txt and an action plan — not an advice list.
from HUF 195,000 net (approx. €490)
Measured evidence
We argue with published, re-runnable measurements — owned together with their limits — not with promises.
How much do GEO services cost?
AVE Studio prices by instrument, not by an opaque retainer: every item is a standalone instrument with a defined scope. The entry point is the Citation Tracker, from €240 net; one-off instruments run from €240 to €490 net, and continuous measurement from €200 net per month. The “from” covers the base scope — one language, the core question set — and any extension is quoted at a fixed price after scoping, never billed hourly. The itemized list lives on the service pages; proposals follow from measurement, not from estimates.
Do you guarantee that I will appear in ChatGPT's answers?
No. Generated answers are probabilistic; no one can guarantee a position inside them. What AVE Studio commits to: a recorded baseline, code-level fixes, and a re-measurement with the same method, where the change shows.
What is the difference between GEO and SEO?
SEO optimises for position on a results list; GEO for the generated answer naming you. The two are connected: whatever is invisible in search has a hard time making it into AI answers.
How soon do results show?
We promise no deadline, because we do not control the engines' index and model release cycles. What we provide: a recorded baseline, fixes shipped in code, then a re-measurement with the same method — the difference between the two states shows the result.
Which question brought you here?
This page describes the category. If your question is more specific, two pages go deeper than it does.
AI visibility: why your company doesn't show up
The three typical causes — entity confusion, machine-unreadable content, a closed access layer — and how each is fixed.
When not to trust a GEO agency
Seven red flags and the control questions to ask before hiring — measured: AI engines name criteria, not culprits.
How does your company get into AI recommendations?
Ten steps with measured engine behaviour: which engine searches at all and which answers from memory — from 180 runs, with prices.
ChatGPT optimization (AEO)
How ChatGPT picks its sources: parametric knowledge vs. retrieval, query fan-out, and the Bing foundation most people don't expect.
AI SEO agency
The same work under the market's third name: what AI SEO means, and why it is one delivery with GEO and AEO.
Frequently asked questions about GEO agencies
Twelve questions we get most often from clients and prospects: price, guarantees, timelines, and how GEO relates to SEO. The answers keep the same scope as the service pages — where we cannot promise, we say so.
Who can help me actually show up in AI answers, not just measure it?
A team that ships in code and content after the diagnosis. Measurement on its own is diagnosis: it shows which questions the answer fails to name you for, but it does not fix them. At AVE Studio the two are one chain — a recorded baseline, entity- and content-level fixes shipped in code, then a repeat run using the same method, on which the change is visible.
Do you work with companies outside Hungary?
Yes. AVE Studio is a Budapest-based GEO and AI visibility agency working with companies in Hungary and across Europe; the work itself is language- and market-specific rather than location-specific, and we measure each language separately. What is not location-specific: the measurement method, the reporting, and the fact that we ship the fixes in code.
Why doesn't ChatGPT recommend me when I rank well on Google?
Because it does not work from the same place. ChatGPT's web search runs on Bing, and part of its answers are assembled without any search at all, from the model's memory. A page can be strong in Google while Bing has not indexed it, or while the model simply does not know it. That is why we measure the two layers separately: whether you can be found, and whether the model recalls you without searching.
Are AEO, AIO and LLMO the same thing as GEO?
In practice, largely yes — they name the same work from different angles. AEO (answer engine optimization) narrows it to getting into the generated answer, AIO to Google's AI overviews, LLMO to language models. AVE Studio uses GEO as the umbrella term for the answer-side work; together with classic SEO and KEO, that is what the market calls AI SEO. We fix the vocabulary in a public glossary, so nobody has to guess which word covers what.
How does an engagement start?
With a baseline measurement, not a proposal. We first build the question set from the questions your buyers actually ask, run it across the major engines, and show where the answer names you and where it does not. That is where the actual work starts: the remediation list comes out of that measurement and is handed over in code — the scope follows the measured gap rather than a pre-built package.
Which companies is GEO worth it for?
Those whose buyers ask questions before they buy — typically B2B services, expert firms and more considered products. Where there is a research phase before the decision, the answer engine is the first filter on the shortlist. Where buying is impulsive, the stakes are lower today; we will say so if that is what the measurement shows.
What do I need to provide to start?
Not much: access to the website or its developer, access to Google Search Console, and a conversation about the words your buyers use. The measurement itself needs no access to your systems — it runs from the outside, the way a buyer would ask the engine.
Can you work alongside my existing SEO agency?
Yes, and it is often the fastest route. The measurement and the diagnosis run independently of your agency, and the remediation list is written so their developer can carry it out — schema code, access rules, a list of content gaps. We also work white-label for agencies: the service goes to your client under your brand.
Why start now? Models are learning who is who in your market right now. What today's sources leave out will not be there for the next training round either — a fix takes weeks to land, a model's memory takes months to refresh. Start now, and the next measurement round already shows it.
Start: diagnosis first, then fixes in code
The Assessment is HUF 90,000 net (approx. €225), a fixed fee, and every later step builds on that baseline.
