AI SEO / GEO, defined

AI SEO is also called generative engine optimization, or GEO. It means getting named when a buyer asks an AI what to use. Those answers are built largely from Reddit. So Bavior earns you honest, on-topic mentions in the threads the assistants read. You approve every mention. Nothing is bought and nothing is faked.

Why this matters now

Where does an AI get its answer?

~40%of AI-answer citations trace to Redditone AI-citation study¹
#1most-cited domain in AI answersahead of Wikipedia and YouTube¹
0of the lost sales you get to seethey happen inside the chat

AI assistants don't invent their picks. They read the web and cite it. Reddit is the site they cite most. So "which tool should I use" now gets answered out of Reddit threads. If you are not in those threads, you are not in the answer. You never see that lost sale. It happened inside a chat you were not part of. Citation share also moves month to month. So this is a habit you keep, not one lucky post.¹

How Bavior does it

Earn the mentions AI reads, then track the citation.

Not one lucky post. A presence in the threads that feed AI answers. Checked month after month.

1

Finds the questions AI reads

The "best tool for ___" threads. The "alternatives to ___" threads. Those feed the answers.

2

Earns an on-topic mention

A useful answer, in threads where your product is an honest fit. You approve it.

3

Keeps showing up

Many threads over months, not one spike. Citations move around.

4

Tracks the citations

It tells you when an AI answer names you. Same for a search result.

On-page GEO you also get

Mentions off your site, and pages AI can quote on it.

Reddit mentions are one half. The other half is your own pages. They have to be easy for an AI to quote.

Pages AI can quote

Answer first. Then real numbers, direct quotes, and sources you can click. Research on AI engines found those help most. It also found that keyword stuffing hurts.²

The technical layer

We fix your own pages so the AI can read them. That means schema, an llms.txt file, and letting the AI crawlers in.

Mentions off site. Quotable pages on site. That is what turns "mentioned on Reddit" into "cited by ChatGPT."

Start on your own category

Point Bavior at your product. It lists the buyer questions AI gets asked in your space. Then it shows which brands come up in the answers.

Compared by category

Four ways people chase AI citations.

By category, never by brand. Each row is a question to ask before you pick one.

¹ Semrush, “The Most-Cited Domains in AI,” via Search Engine Land. ² Aggarwal et al., “GEO: Generative Engine Optimization,” Princeton, KDD 2024. ³ Our own estimate of market-rate retainers for done-for-you Reddit agencies. Bavior plans start at $99/mo billed monthly, or $79.17/mo billed yearly.

Who this is not for

Bavior still needs a few minutes of you each week. Every draft waits for your yes. Somebody on your side has to open the queue and read it. If nobody will, the queue just sits there and nothing gets posted.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is AI SEO / GEO?

Getting your brand cited by AI assistants like ChatGPT and Perplexity — and for most categories, earning genuine Reddit mentions is the highest-leverage move.

Can you guarantee a ChatGPT citation?

No — and anyone who does is guessing. We build durable, on-topic presence and report what lands.

Why Reddit for AI citations?

Reddit is the most-cited source in AI answers, so genuine Reddit presence directly feeds what AI recommends.¹

Is this just spamming Reddit with my name?

The opposite. Manipulation gets removed and ignored by AI; genuine, useful mentions are what get cited.
