Get found

When someone asks ChatGPT who to hire, your name should come up.

Search hasn't died, it has split. Half of your buyers still type into Google, a growing half ask an assistant and take the first three names. We make you one of those three – in both places.

Stage 01 of the Thrive customer-acquisition system, usually live in 4 to 6 weeks

Search hasn't died, it has split. Half of your buyers still type into Google, a growing half ask an assistant and take the first three names. We make you one of those three – in both places.

Ranking eleventh and being uncitable are the same problem.

Both mean the buyer never finds out you exist. The fix is the same too – become the clearest, most citable answer to the question that is actually being asked.

Google can't tell what you do

Your pages talk about passion and partnership. Your buyers' search terms are specific and boring. Nothing on your website matches closely enough to rank.

Result: page three, permanently

AI can't cite you

Assistants cite sources they can process: clear statements, structured data, real detail. A hero video and three adjectives give them nothing.

Result: your competitor gets named

Your website is slow and shapeless

Heavy WordPress themes, no schema, headings in the wrong order, five plugins getting in each other's way. Machines read that as low quality – rightly so.

Result: penalised before you start

RESEARCH

We find the questions your buyers really ask

Keyword and intent research for your canton and your service – including the long, spoken questions people type into assistants and that almost nobody optimises for.

FOUNDATION

We make your website machine-readable

Technical SEO from A to Z: speed, Core Web Vitals, heading structure, internal linking, sitemaps and the schema markup that lets an answer engine understand and cite you.

CONTENT

We write the pages that get cited

Service and answer pages in the format assistants extract from: the answer first, the detail underneath, no filler. The same structure also ranks in classic search.

LOCAL

We make you findable where you work

Google Business Profile, consistent business details across directories and location pages for the cantons you serve – so searches near you end up with you.

MEASUREMENT

We show you whether it works

Ranking tracking plus monitoring of assistant mentions. We regularly put your buyers' questions to the major assistants and record whether you are named. Reported monthly, in plain language.

HANDOVER

We give you the keys

Every account in your name. A written playbook for publishing new pages correctly. Training so your team can carry on without us.

What happens, and when.

Search rewards patience, so we are specific about the process. Anyone who promises page one in thirty days is selling you something else.

W1

Analysis and research

We record your current rankings, put your buyers' real questions to the major assistants to see who is named today, and map every gap. You get the results whether you continue or not.

  • Baseline report on rankings and mentions
  • Prioritised keyword and question map

W2

Technical foundation

Speed, structure, schema, sitemaps. The unglamorous work that decides whether anything else has a chance. If you are already on Webflow, we work directly in it; if not, we tell you honestly whether a rebuild pays off.

  • Core Web Vitals in the green
  • Structured data live and validated

W4

Pages published

Your service, answer and location pages go live in the format Google and the assistants prefer. This is where compounding begins.

  • Core pages written and published
  • Playbook for publishing handed over

M3

Visible movement

Rankings rise, mentions in assistants start to appear. Month six is when this turns into traffic you can count. We report monthly – including in the months when the answer is "not yet".

  • Monthly report on rankings and mentions
  • Content plan for the next quarter

In seeking a solution for my clunky, repeatedly moved WordPress website, I turned to Genc, a rare find in the tech world who not only boasts profound technical expertise but also a keen understanding of business and marketing, all while being incredibly communicable. From optimizing funnels to integrating various tools seamlessly, his contribution was pivotal, especially during an online summit I hosted with 25 speakers over five days. His knack for simplifying complex tech solutions, coupled with his ability to tailor solutions to my understanding and budget, truly sets him apart.

Get found is stage one of three.

Visitors who land on a page with no offer are a bounce rate with better reporting. Once people arrive, the next two stages turn them into booked appointments.

What clients ask right before they say yes.

What is AEO, and how is it different from SEO?

SEO gets you into a list of blue links from which a person then chooses. AEO gets you into the answer itself, when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI overview for a recommendation. There is no list to scroll and no page two – being named is everything.

And GEO?

Generative Engine Optimization is the same idea, aimed specifically at generative assistants: structuring content so a model can take a clean, attributable statement from it. In practice: answer the question in the first sentence, back it up with detail, mark it up in a machine-readable way.

How long until this pays off?

Movement from month three, countable traffic from month six. Mentions in assistants can appear faster, sometimes within weeks, because far fewer businesses compete for them so far.

Do I have to rebuild my website?

Often not. If your current website is reasonably fast and editable, we work directly in it. If it is a heavy theme fighting with five plugins, we show you the numbers on what a rebuild wins back, and you decide.

Can you prove that I am being named?

Yes. We put your buyers' actual questions to the major assistants on a schedule and record whether you are named, in which position and next to whom. You get this baseline before you commit, and every month after.

Do you also work in English?

Yes – although for most Swiss businesses the volume sits with German search terms. We are based in Belp near Bern and build bilingual sites when your market needs both.
