What does this kind of agency actually do?

We make sure AI assistants recommend you when a buyer asks for a vendor, and any GEO agency New York companies hire should deliver exactly that. The first step is an audit of what ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini say about you. After that we fix the usual problems: content models can't quote, mismatched company facts, a thin footprint on third-party sites and AI bots blocked from crawling.

How long does it take to get cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews?

First citations often appear a few weeks after the technical and content fixes. They come fastest in Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, since both pull from live search results. Stable visibility takes 60 to 90 days. Any GEO agency NYC companies hire that guarantees citations in a few days is overpromising. No one decides what a model puts in its answer.

Do you work as a combined GEO and AEO agency?

Yes. AEO (answer engine optimization) is about featured snippets, voice search and AI Overviews. GEO is about getting your brand cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity and similar assistants. Working with us as a combined GEO/AEO agency, New York teams get one strategy, one prompt map and one report. More on our AEO agency work.

Do you work with local NYC businesses or only national brands?

Both. Dental clinics, law offices, restaurants and home service companies hire us to show up for "near me" and neighborhood prompts, using Google Business Profile, reviews and local citations. National brands bring us in for visibility across their whole category. Our strategists work Eastern Time hours, so you can reach us during your workday.

Can regulated companies (finance, healthcare, legal) do this safely?

Yes, with compliance review built in. We write financial content to the SEC Marketing Rule and FINRA Rule 2210, legal pages to attorney advertising rules and healthcare pages with HIPAA in mind. Your compliance team's sign-off goes on the calendar in week one.

Do I still need traditional SEO if I invest in AI search?

You do. AI engines lean on pages that already rank. Most of what we do for AI search, such as schema, structured content and PR mentions, also moves your Google rankings.

Is Your NYC Brand Invisible in ChatGPT?

"Best B2B marketing agency in NYC." ChatGPT names four. Two are your rivals, and you're missing.

Page-one rankings bring fewer clicks now. Google's AI Overview answers the query at the top of the SERP.

Gemini still describes your company with outdated pricing and a discontinued service.

Every NYC category, from adtech to corporate law, is crowded with competitors, and ChatGPT's answer has room for about five names.

Your agency tracks keywords and sessions. Nobody tracks your share of citations in ChatGPT or Perplexity.

You have strong reviews and a complete Google Business Profile, yet "near me" prompts for your neighborhood still go to someone else.

If two or three of these sound familiar, generative engine optimization in New York belongs on this year's plan, because your buyers already build their shortlists inside chat assistants.

Generative engine optimization is the work of getting your brand cited and recommended inside generated answers. SEO earns you a link in the results, while this work earns you a mention in the answer itself.Generative engine optimization is the work of getting your brand cited and recommended inside generated answers. SEO earns you a link in the results, while this work earns you a mention in the answer itself, which is often the only part the buyer reads. CGS Growth is a GEO agency New York companies bring in when they rank well on Google and still don't show up when buyers ask ChatGPT.

Proven GEO Services in New York: Results You Can Verify Yourself

Don't take our word for it. Run the prompt under any case study in ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini and check the answer yourself. The business numbers link to official stats.

MakroPRO · B2B Wholesale (Thailand's #1 Grocery Platform)

748 new paying signups a month from LLM search

Problem: Strong Google rankings, almost no presence in chatbot answers about wholesale grocery. We restructured MakroPRO's category pages around clear product, pricing and delivery facts that LLMs can quote, and cleared the crawl and rendering issues that blocked AI bots. 16 months in, LLM search brings 748 new paying signups a month.

Solution: Type "wholesale grocery platforms in Thailand" into ChatGPT and check who it recommends.

Thales · Enterprise Cybersecurity

56 booked sales calls per month

Problem: Dozens of regional sites and scattered product data left AI models without a clear picture of the company. We consolidated schema, aligned knowledge graph data and ran a full technical cleanup. Result: 56 booked sales calls per month, confirmed by the client.

Solution: Ask Gemini about enterprise cybersecurity solutions and check who shows up.

See official stats →

Cydome · Maritime Cybersecurity

4 new enterprise clients per month and #1 in ChatGPT for "maritime cybersecurity"

Problem: In maritime security, buyers ask a chatbot for a vendor shortlist before contacting anyone. We mapped the key prompts, placed Cydome in maritime security media and built comparison content. After 11 months: 4 new enterprise clients per month and #1 in ChatGPT for "maritime cybersecurity."

Solution: Run that query in ChatGPT yourself.

Hubble · Online Contact Lens Subscription

426 new subscribers per month through LLM search

Problem: Language models defaulted to legacy brands in this category. We built the definitions, comparisons and citations that gave LLMs a reason to recommend Hubble. After 32 months: 426 new subscribers per month through LLM search, as reported by the client.

Solution: Type "best contact lens subscription" into Perplexity and check the sources it shows.

Who We Work With, and Who We Don't

GREAT MATCH

As a GEO agency New York companies hire for pipeline, we are the right fit if you:

Run a B2B or SaaS company in a crowded niche, where buyers build vendor shortlists in ChatGPT before they ever visit your site (see GEO for SaaS companies).
Work in fintech, banking, wealth management or insurance, and every page needs a compliance sign-off (see AEO for fintech).
Run a brokerage, law firm or consultancy, where one local prompt like "commercial real estate broker in Midtown" can bring in a client worth a year of fees (see AEO for real estate).
Are a consumer brand in fashion, beauty, food or wellness that wants to be the product assistants recommend.
Have a working website and content, and are ready for an engagement of 90 days or more, measured by pipeline.

NOT A MATCH

We're probably not the right fit if you:

Need a website built from scratch before any optimization.
Expect citations within days. Authority builds over 60 to 90 days and keeps growing after that.
Only care about classic Google rankings.
Are shopping for the cheapest option rather than measurable results.

Where You'd Likely Land: What GEO Services in New York Cost

Every project is quoted after the audit. But so you can see roughly where you fit:

Local business, one location

$1,500–2,500/mo

Your NYC category isn't contested in AI answers yet. One neighborhood or borough, a handful of buyer questions to win. Often the fastest results we get, simply because nobody in your category has started.

Established company

$3,000–4,500/mo

You sell several products or serve several markets, and competitors already appear in ChatGPT and Perplexity answers. The budget covers a wider set of prompts, rewrites of your core pages and outreach to the media and review sites that models cite.

Enterprise

$5,000+/mo

Several markets or languages, a tough category like finance, SaaS, legal or media. Includes digital PR in every market plus citation data sent to your BI tools.

These are the ranges our current clients pay, not packages. What you'd actually pay comes from the audit, and the audit is free.
