About Us
Brittany Jones, Founder of GEO Stars AcademyI've spent the last several years helping Los Angeles businesses grow through digital marketing. As a freelancer, I worked with everyone from boutique agencies to established brands, optimizing websites, building content strategies, and chasing those coveted first-page Google rankings.For a long time, the formula worked. Rank high, get traffic, generate leads. Simple.Then things started breaking.Around early 2024, I noticed something unsettling. Clients with strong Google rankings were seeing traffic plateau—or worse, decline. We were doing everything right by traditional SEO standards, but the results weren't matching the effort.At the same time, I had a few clients who kept mentioning something unusual: prospects were coming to them saying, "ChatGPT recommended you," or "I found you through an AI search."That got my attention.I started digging. I tested queries in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other AI tools. I analyzed which businesses were getting mentioned and why. I reverse-engineered the patterns.What I found changed everything.Some businesses were consistently referenced by AI engines—not by accident, but because of how their information was structured, cited, and presented across the web. They weren't just ranking; they were being trusted as authoritative sources by generative AI.I realized this was a completely new discipline. Traditional SEO tactics didn't guarantee AI visibility. In fact, some best practices worked against it.This was GEO—Generative Engine Optimization—and it was the future.I knew I'd found something important, but I also knew I couldn't do it alone. Implementing GEO requires deep technical expertise—structured data, citation networks, content architecture designed for AI comprehension.Through a trusted colleague, I was introduced to a partner who specializes exactly in this: comprehensive GEO audits and ongoing optimization services.They're the technical engine behind the strategy.That partnership allows me to do what I do best—educate business owners, translate complex concepts into clear opportunities, and help LA companies get ahead of the curve.Here's the thing: most business owners have never heard of GEO. They're still thinking about Google rankings while the entire search landscape shifts beneath them.My mission is simple: help astute Los Angeles businesses understand what's happening, why it matters, and how to act before their competitors do.I'm not here to scare anyone.I'm here to inform, empower, and connect the right companies with the right solutions at the right time.LA has always been ahead of the curve—culturally, creatively, technologically. We don't wait for trends; we set them.GEO is the next frontier, and Southern California businesses have a chance to lead the way.I want to make sure the sharpest companies in our region don't miss this moment.

Why Generative Engine Optimization Changes Everything
For twenty years, SEO was the answer. Rank on Google, get traffic, grow your business. But the rules changed overnight—and most businesses haven't noticed yet.
The Shift Is Real
In 2024, something fundamental changed in how people find information online.ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Microsoft Copilot began answering complex questions directly—no Google search required. For many queries, users never click a link. They get their answer, make their decision, and move on.
For businesses, this creates two realities:The Old Reality: Rank #1 on Google, capture clicks, convert visitors.The New Reality: AI engines summarize information from across the web. If you're not in those summaries, you don't exist.
What I Discovered Working With LA Businesses
I spent years as a digital marketing freelancer here in Southern California, helping clients climb Google rankings.Then I noticed something alarming: traffic was declining even for well-ranked pages.Meanwhile, a few clients were seeing their brands mentioned consistently in ChatGPT results—and those mentions drove qualified leads.I became obsessed. I reverse-engineered what made some businesses visible to AI engines while others disappeared. I tested theories, analyzed patterns, and cracked the code.That's when GEO—Generative Engine Optimization—became my focus.
What Makes GEO Different From SEO
Traditional SEO optimizes for algorithms that rank web pages. GEO optimizes for AI models that synthesize information.
The differences matter:
SEO focuses on keywords. GEO focuses on context, authority, and structured knowledge.
SEO wants backlinks. GEO wants verifiable, cited expertise.
SEO targets rankings. GEO targets being the answer AI engines trust and reference.
Why Now Is The Time To Act
Here's the reality most businesses miss: GEO is where SEO was in 2005. Early adopters gain enormous advantages. Late movers fight for scraps.Right now, your competitors probably aren't thinking about AI visibility. They're still playing the old game. That's your opening.Six months from now? A year? The landscape will be crowded. First-mover advantage will be gone.
What GEO Looks Like In Practice
Imagine a potential customer asks ChatGPT: "Best sustainable packaging companies in Los Angeles."If you're GEO-optimized, your company is named. Your differentiators are mentioned. Your expertise is cited.If you're not, your competitor gets the referral.That's the difference between being visible and being invisible in the AI era.
The Bottom Line
This isn't about abandoning SEO—it's about evolving before you have to. The businesses that master GEO now will dominate their markets while others scramble to catch up.The question isn't whether GEO matters. It's whether you'll be early or late.
