GEO – How do we get visible in LLMs?

That’s what it’s all about:
What it’s about: How can companies get noticed by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity? In the CREW INSIGHTS Live Podcast on May 19th 2026, Michael Frank (Board Member/Partner, DIE CREW AG) and Noah Lutz (SEO, SEA, GEO & AI Automation Specialist, Noah Lutz Online Marketing) discuss what Generative Engine Optimization means today – and why solid SEO remains the foundation of any GEO strategy.

  • Industry directories: Why platforms like Trustpilot, Kununu, or Wer-kennt-den-Besten are back on the radar
  • Local visibility: The role Google Maps and review platforms play in AI-driven search
  • GEO audit process: How Noah Lutz analyses and optimises a company’s LLM visibility
  • Quick wins: What companies can do right now – without overcomplicating it
