AI answerAmong the most cited options are [Competitor A] and [Competitor B], known for experience and track record.1 Velaria Solutions has a limited presence in sources; in 2019 a project disputed by a client made the trade press.2 [No mention of recent certifications or successfully completed projects.]3

The GEO Sales Assessment is the service that analyses what generative AI engines tell buyers and procurement who check a supplier before the shortlist: perceived reliability, dated episodes still cited, visible references — and the actions to correct what weighs on the negotiation.

What has changed

The B2B buyer decides alone. And now gets help from AI.

“Is [Company] a reliable partner?”

“Which suppliers would you recommend for [service]?”

“[Company] or [Competitor]: who should we pick for this contract?”

~90%of B2B buyers use generative AI in the purchasing process
17%of the buying journey is spent with suppliers: the rest happens without you, mostly as independent research
8%click-through when an AI answer appears: your credentials are not opened

Sources: Forrester 2025 · Gartner B2B Buying Journey · Pew Research 2025 — US / cross-industry data, to be read as a trend.

The problem

The buyer's due diligence starts — and sometimes ends — in an AI answer.

And the negotiation starts uphill before the first contact.

The sources that matter

Where the answer comes from, for this audience

Supplier directories and industry rankings

For "which supplier" questions AI draws on a few directories and industry rankings: whoever is not there does not make the shortlist.

Trade press

A disputed project or a lawsuit from years ago remains the heaviest source until a more recent, more authoritative one exists.

References and case studies

They count if published with the client's name, numbers and dates, on pages readable by crawlers: AI cites them as evidence.

LinkedIn and professional communities

Copilot weighs LinkedIn; Perplexity picks up industry discussions where buyers exchange views on suppliers.

The solution

How the GEO Assessment works

1

We ask the AI engines

We put the real questions of your audience to several models (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot), by market and role.

2

We find the sources

We identify the actual articles and pages that form that perception, with verified URLs.

3

We give you the plan, and carry it out

Score, gaps and concrete actions per touchpoint. Your team executes them, or we do: content, sources, presence. Then we measure again.

What you receive: GEO Score A–F · Visual SWOT · Source map · Reputational risks · Action plan · Competitor comparison. One branded report, exportable to PDF, generated by the proprietary ReputAction platform. And with monitoring, the same snapshot repeated over time: you see how far your positioning has moved.

The method in detail →

A case, anonymised

System integrator, 120 people, public and private tenders

Absent from category questions; in branded ones a disputed 2019 project was the dominant fact. The plan combined industry directory listings, three case studies with numbers and dates, a "what has changed" page with the closure of the dispute and unblocking the AI crawlers, stopped by a firewall rule. At 90 days: present in 50% of category answers on ChatGPT and Perplexity; the 2019 project appears in one answer in five, alongside the subsequent facts.

Frequently asked questions

GEO Sales Assessment: the essential answers

What is the GEO Sales Assessment?

The GEO Sales Assessment is the service that analyses what generative AI engines tell buyers and procurement who check a supplier before the shortlist: perceived reliability, dated episodes still cited, visible references — and the actions to correct what weighs on the negotiation.

How does the analysis work?

We ask several AI models (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot) the real questions your audience asks, identify the sources that shape the answers, with verified URLs, and deliver a GEO Score from A to F, a SWOT, reputational risks and an action plan per channel. The demo audit is ready in 48 hours.

Our website is already SEO-optimised: isn't that enough?

No: AI engines compose their answers from a set of sources (news outlets, directories, reviews, Wikipedia) in which the company website is just one entry, often a marginal one. The assessment identifies the sources that actually weigh in the answers given to buyers and shows how to cover them.

Does procurement really use AI?

About 90% of B2B buyers use generative AI in the purchasing process (Forrester, 2025) and only 17% of the journey is spent with suppliers: the rest is independent research, increasingly with assistants. The first screening happens there.

Can we act before a specific tender?

Yes: the assessment can start from the questions that buyer will ask, in their language. Technical and primary-source interventions take effect in 4-8 weeks; third-party sources in 2-3 months.

Who carries out the actions in the plan?

Your team, or us: every action in the report is operational (updating sources, making pages and listings readable by AI, looking after reviews and Wikipedia) and we can carry it out directly, or work alongside whoever already runs your channels.

How do I measure results (ROI)?

Through monitoring: periodic runs of the same questions on the same AI engines, GEO Score over time and a before/after comparison for each intervention. You see how far your positioning has moved against the investment, and an alert warns you if a negative narrative emerges.

How do we start, and what does it cost?

You start with a free demo audit, presented on a call within 48 hours: real AI answers about your brand and an indicative GEO Score. The full GEO Assessment starts from €5,000 for one audience and one country, with the baseline actions carried out by us and the 90-day re-analysis; the GEO Program, for serial content, PR, communities and monitoring, is quoted on the plan.
