Generative Engine Optimization Service
You shouldn’t have to look to Silicon Valley to get cutting-edge marketing technology. At Graticle Design, we bring the future of search right here to Longview and Cowlitz County. We help businesses evolve beyond traditional links, optimizing your brand so that AI models like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity recommend you as the trusted answer. We combine next-gen strategy with the personal service you expect from a neighbor.
Dominate the “AI Answer” in the New Era of Search
Search behavior is changing faster than it has in 20 years. Your customers aren’t just typing “best roofer Longview” into a search bar anymore; they are having conversations with AI. They’re asking, “Who is the most reliable contractor in Cowlitz County?” or “Plan a dinner date in Longview.”
If the AI doesn’t know you, it won’t recommend you.
We focus on Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). This means optimizing your digital presence so you become the single, factual “answer” provided by AI models. Whether you are a local service provider or a growing e-commerce brand, our goal is to translate your business into the language of AI, ensuring you stay visible as search evolves.
How We Do It
AI-Readiness Audit & Knowledge Graphing
We don’t just look at keywords; we look at facts. We start by auditing how AI models currently “see” your brand. Does ChatGPT know your hours? Does Gemini know your service area? We build a “Knowledge Graph” strategy that feeds structured, indisputable data to these engines so they get your details right every time.
Citation Optimization & Brand Authority
AI models learn from specific, high-trust sources. We implement a strategy to ensure your brand is cited in the digital libraries, directories, and platforms that AI uses to train itself. We focus on “Mention Authority” ensuring your business is referenced by the sources that the algorithms trust most.
Review Sentiment Management
AI models read reviews differently than humans—they analyze “sentiment patterns.” We help you generate and manage reviews that specifically highlight the keywords and positive sentiments that AI models look for when recommending a “best” option. We turn your customer feedback into data that fuels your rankings.
Answer-Based Content Strategy
Ranking in AI requires a shift from “keywords” to “questions.” We analyze and restructure your website content into direct, authoritative Q&A formats that Large Language Models (LLMs) prefer. By answering the specific questions your customers are asking, we signal to the AI that you are the source of truth for your industry.
Structured Data & Technical Schema
For an AI to recommend you, it has to understand you. We implement advanced Schema Markup (structured code) behind the scenes of your website. This acts like a digital name tag that tells search engines exactly what you do, where you serve (Longview/Kelso), and how much you charge, making it easy for them to parse and present your info.
Transparent Reporting on the “New Search”
You shouldn’t have to guess if you are showing up in the AI future. We track your visibility across traditional search and emerging AI platforms. Each month, we provide clear updates on how your brand authority is growing and what we are doing to keep you ahead of the technological curve.
Why Hire a Local Team for Future Tech?
There is a massive advantage to navigating the future of tech with a team that understands your present reality. We aren’t a faceless algorithm. We know that for a business in Longview, “high-tech” still needs to result in real phone calls and foot traffic. We bridge the gap between complex AI strategies and the local economy, ensuring that these new tools actually work for your bottom line.
Future-proof, but rooted in reality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between SEO and GEO?
Think of SEO as fighting for a spot on a list of blue links (Google Search). Think of GEO as fighting to be the single answer an AI gives a user (ChatGPT/Gemini). SEO focuses on keywords and backlinks; GEO focuses on facts, citations, and content structure. You need both to cover the present and future of search.
Do you work with businesses outside of Longview for GEO?
Yes. Because GEO is less dependent on physical proximity than traditional “Local SEO,” we can help companies anywhere in the country optimize for AI. However, for our local clients in Cowlitz County, we offer the unique benefit of combining this high-tech strategy with our hands-on local market knowledge.
If I already have SEO, do I need GEO?
It is becoming increasingly important. As Google integrates AI summaries (AI Overviews) directly into search results, traditional SEO tactics are evolving. GEO ensures that when Google’s AI generates a summary at the top of the page, your business is cited as the source. It is the best insurance policy for your digital marketing.
Will this help me rank in Longview specifically?
Absolutely. AI searches often have “local intent” (e.g., “Find me a plumber nearby”). By optimizing your business entities and structured data for the Longview/Kelso area, we make it much easier for AI assistants on phones (like Siri and Google Assistant) to recommend you to local users.
How do I know if GEO is working?
It can be harder to track than traditional clicks, but we look for “Brand Mentions” and “Referral Traffic” from AI sources. We also track how often your content is being featured in “Featured Snippets” and AI Overviews on Google, which is the primary metric for GEO success right now.
What industries need GEO the most?
Any industry where customers ask questions before buying. This includes professional services (lawyers, accountants), healthcare (dentists, chiropractors), and trades (how-to questions). If your customers ask “How,” “Why,” or “Who is the best,” your business is a prime candidate for GEO.
