GEO for consultants: how to get cited by AI
Choosing a consultant is a trust decision: AI engines weigh who has real expertise and proven results. To get cited, claiming «we're experts» isn't enough — you need a named author, case studies with numbers, and a clear methodology.
Where you lose AI answers
- AI names the big brands (McKinsey, BCG), not your practice.
- Articles with no expert author and no case studies with numbers read as marketing to AI.
- Abstract thought-leadership with no methodology gives AI nothing concrete to quote.

FAQ
Why does E-E-A-T matter so much for consulting?
Picking a consultant is a trust decision: AI screens sources harder by expertise and proven results, so a named author and case studies with numbers give you an edge.
