Word of GPT is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) agency serving Seattle-based companies. We measure your AI Share of Voice across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, then build the content and distribution to win the answer in the Seattle market.
In July 2026 we asked ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google the exact question a Seattle buyer would ask — “best generative engine optimization agency in Seattle” — and recorded every agency they named. This is that raw result, including the part that doesn't flatter us.

Method: one query per engine via a real browser, July 2026. Every agency above was then loaded independently and had to (1) state an AI-search offering on its own site — the quote is from that page — and (2) name Seattle. Answers drift; this is a snapshot, not a standing. Full methodology →
Why GEO matters in Seattle
Seattle is the centre of gravity for cloud infrastructure and developer tooling. Its buyers are engineers who validate vendors through documentation, GitHub, Hacker News and Reddit long before contacting sales.
In developer categories the engines cite documentation, GitHub and community threads far more than vendor marketing pages. That means the work is real engineering and technical writing — which is exactly the kind of work we do.
For technical buyers the citable set is documentation and community, not marketing pages. Winning here means being genuinely useful in the sources engineers already read.

GEO in Seattle — questions
What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) for Seattle businesses?
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is the practice of getting your brand mentioned, cited, and recommended inside AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. For Seattle-based companies, GEO is the discipline that decides whether you show up in the AI-generated shortlist a buyer builds before they ever visit your site.
How much does GEO cost in Seattle?
Our GEO Visibility Audit in Seattle is $3,000–$7,000, delivered in about a week, and benchmarks you against 3 named competitors across 5 AI engines and 200–500 buyer-intent prompts. Ongoing GEO retainers for Seattle-based brands run $8,000–$20,000 per month on a 6-month minimum. Start with a free one-page Seattle AI visibility snapshot.
How long until I see GEO results in Seattle?
We won't invent a number. We looked for primary evidence on time-to-first-citation and found none — the "60–120 days" figure this industry quotes is a vendor convention, not a research finding. What we can say: technical fixes like per-engine crawler access land within days, and because we sample every prompt repeatedly, any change in your Seattle mention and citation rates shows up in weekly reporting. Seattle-based teams watch the real curve instead of trusting our forecast. See /evidence for the full grading.
Which AI engines do you track for Seattle companies?
We track all five major answer engines for Seattle-based businesses — ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Perplexity, Gemini (Google), and Google AI Overviews — sampling each multiple times over a 14-day window. Single-shot answers are noisy; we report stable results.
Do you work in English for Seattle?
Yes. We sample and optimize prompts in the languages your Seattle buyers actually use. In Seattle that means English. Bilingual GEO doubles the addressable prompt volume and is a real edge in markets where most agencies only optimize English.
What are the top GEO agencies in Seattle?
In Seattle the named GEO agencies we benchmark against include: Verti Group International, seo.co, Seattle Organic SEO. We track each of them in our 5-engine prompt corpus so you can see exactly where they out-cite you, and where you out-cite them. See the full buyers' guide at /geo-agencies.
