Get your company cited in AI answers
DImato is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) service. We measure how often ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews mention and cite your company, then do the work that raises that share. Reports show pooled visibility from repeated runs, never a rank.

What is Generative Engine Optimization?
Generative Engine Optimization is the work of making a company visible inside AI-generated answers: being named as a brand, and having its pages cited as sources. It is SEO hygiene plus citable content, third-party presence and pooled measurement.
GEO does not replace SEO. It adds the layer that decides whether an AI answer names you, cites you, or gives the buyer to a competitor.
Three facts shape the work:
- Ranking alone is no longer enough. The share of AI Overview citations taken from Google's top 10 results fell from 76% to 38% in eight months (Ahrefs, 4 million URLs, 2025–2026).
- Third-party sites carry 82–89% of citations: review aggregators, listicles, Reddit, YouTube, Wikipedia. A vendor's own site is cited in about 12% of B2B answers.
- Pages that state statistics, quote experts and cite sources gain 28–41% more visibility in generative answers (Princeton, KDD 2024).

Who DImato is for
B2B manufacturers and SMEs in the Baltics and the EU whose buyers research with AI before they call. Manufacturers with a catalogue, exporters that sell into DACH and the Nordics, and service firms that already rank on Google but do not appear in AI answers.
How the work is done
- Measure. A locked set of prompts runs by API on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude, five times each, spread over three days. Every run is stored and classified: mentioned, cited, position, sentiment, accuracy, competitors named.
- Fix access. robots.txt and the CDN allow the answer bots: OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Googlebot. The answer has to sit in the server-rendered HTML, because no AI crawler except Googlebot runs JavaScript.
- Make pages citable. Direct answer in the first 100 words, question-shaped headings, one quotable sentence per section, a statistic with a named source, an expert quote, a FAQ block, schema for the entity.
- Be present where engines look. Review profiles, directories, listicles, comparison pages, forums, Wikidata. Third-party pages carry most citations.
- Report. A short note every Monday: what shipped, what moved, what's next. Monthly: mention rate, citation rate, share of voice against 3–5 named competitors, AI referral sessions and conversions in GA4, work done, three actions for next month.

Frequently asked questions
How much does GEO cost?
At DImato an AI visibility audit costs €499 once. Monthly plans cost €690 (Growth) and €1,200 (Recommended). The audit price is credited to your first month.
Why choose DImato?
We have been providing website services for more than 20 years. So we don't just tell you what to change; we do the technical work ourselves: opening access for AI bots, fixing schema.org markup, rewriting pages. Every Monday you get a short email, and every month a report with numbers.
What is the difference between Growth and Recommended?
Growth is for a company whose site already ranks on Google: we work to get it cited and mentioned by AI. Recommended is for when AI names your competitors instead of you: we get your company onto the sites AI trusts and measure your share against competitors. Both have a 3-month minimum, and paying for 12 months upfront takes 10% off.
How long until AI answers change?
Pages that already rank on Google can appear in AI Overviews within 4–8 weeks of being rewritten. ChatGPT and Perplexity usually take 2–4 months. Category-level presence against competitors takes 3–6 months.
Do you guarantee a position in ChatGPT?
No. The same prompt returns the same brand list less than 1% of the time, so a rank is not a meaningful measure. We report pooled visibility from repeated runs and promise the work and the report, not a placement. The name of the Recommended plan states the goal, not a guarantee.
Do I need GEO if I already do SEO?
Usually yes. Ranking is a weakening proxy: ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot cite Google's top 10 about 8% of the time. GEO adds citable structure, entity consistency and third-party presence on top of an SEO programme, not instead of it.
Which AI engines do you measure?
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude by API. Google AI Overviews, AI Mode and Microsoft Copilot by manual runs with screenshots.
Should I block GPTBot and ClaudeBot?
Blocking training bots does not affect citations. Blocking search bots such as OAI-SearchBot, Claude-SearchBot and PerplexityBot makes a site uncitable. Every plan starts by fixing this.
