What is GEO and do I really need it in 2026?

GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimisation. It makes your business the source that AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity cite when your customers ask questions. As more searches end without a click, being the cited source is as valuable as ranking number one on Google.

Can you guarantee first place on Google?

No reputable SEO agency can guarantee a specific position — Google's algorithm has hundreds of ranking factors. Monsta Media East Ham guarantees a transparent, proven process with clear monthly reporting on rankings, organic traffic and leads generated for your business.
