GEO & SEO Agency Zurich · for ambitious companies

ChatGPT, Claude and Google could be your best salespeople. Right now they are recommending your competitors.

We change that. Measurably, calculated in francs, and you see every month exactly where you stand.

We measure before we make an offer.

What we do

We are a GEO and SEO agency based in Zurich.

Generative Engine Optimization makes sure AI systems know your company, describe it correctly and recommend it. It turns four things you could only leave to chance into something you can steer.

For B2B and industry as much as for e-commerce, brands and personal brands. Serving Swiss clients for over ten years, based in Zurich since 2023. We consult in English, German and French.

  1. Being named at allWhoever is missing from the answer does not exist for that customer. The first step is to be in the set of candidates.
  2. Communicating your strengths clearlyAI systems repeat what they find about you. We make services, figures and differences unambiguous enough to arrive intact.
  3. Shaping the narrativeWhat is said about you comes from third-party sources. We build that source base — earned, not bought.
  4. Counting as an authorityRecommendations go to whoever qualifies as a reliable source. We evidence your expertise where models can read it.

The problem

Your customers no longer ask Google first.

They ask ChatGPT. And they do not get a list of ten links — they get a recommendation with three names.

Search engine, until now10 links

The customer compares for themselves. You need a place on page one.

Answer engine, today3 names

The AI compares for them. Either you are in it — or, for that customer, you do not exist.

Where meit steps in
  • Make it readable

    Structure, robots.txt and structured data, so you get read at all.

  • Build the source base

    Evidence on third-party sites — earned and editorially justified, not bought.

  • Shape the narrative

    What is said about you when you are not in the room.

How an AI answer is produced. The system gathers sources and weights independent evidence far higher than your own content. Only then does the recommendation emerge. GEO works at three points: readability, source base, narrative.

And the bitter part

You will not even notice.

Whoever is missing from the AI answer does not get a rejection. They get nothing at all. No click, no enquiry, no line in your analytics.

The solution

GEO and SEO belong together. We do both.

Google still sends you customers, and AI systems increasingly do too. The same content decides both.

B2B & industryLong buying cycles, many checkpoints. Procurement researches long before it enquires.

E-commerce & D2CComparison and reviews decide the outcome before anyone opens your site.

Professional servicesTrust is built long before the first conversation.

Personal brandsYour name is the product. It has to appear in the answer.

An agency based in Zurich. Mandates across Switzerland as well as in Germany and Austria. All services at a glance.

Our method

The best training turns good salespeople into legends.

Performance GEO & SEO is demand generation aimed at demand and revenue. Not at rankings. That is why every step is trackable.

Step 01

We occupy the questions your customers ask before they even know your category exists.

Step 02

An AI only recommends what third parties confirm. We build that source base — earned, never bought.

Step 03

25 fixed customer questions, every month, across four systems. You see the position and the source, quoted verbatim.

On request we also look after Google Ads, paid social and your remaining channels — because the same source base decides what your advertising budget is worth in the end.

How a measurement is produced
Every month, same set
What gets asked40–60real buyer prompts

  • Taken from real customer enquiries
  • Search terms with buying intent
  • The question of credibility

Unchanged for the whole engagement.

Where we measure

  • ChatGPT
  • Claude
  • Perplexity
  • Google AI Overview
  • Google
  • Bing

30 core terms with buying intent.

What you receive

  • The wording of every answer
  • Your sources, counted
  • Positions in Google and Bing
  • All of it as a table with timestamps

The raw data belongs to the client.

Always under the same conditions
  • From a Swiss IP
  • No logged-in history
  • Every answer checked by hand
  • The same procedure each month

An unchanging procedure is what makes change measurable in the first place.

The measurement setup. 40 to 60 real buyer prompts, unchanged for the whole engagement, measured monthly across four answer systems plus Google and Bing — from a Swiss IP, with no logged-in history, every answer checked by hand. You receive the wording, the counted source base and all raw data with timestamps.

The difference

Others want to be listed. We want you to be the answer.

And already at the point where the customer cannot yet name the problem. A karaoke bar in Zurich, across three stages.

B2B industry

In procurement the same question is called due diligence.

Before a decision-maker contacts you, they have you checked. A promotional printing company, in Claude.

The source base decides

Your company6 sources

23 sources behind. That is the gap we measure — and close.

Strongest competitor29 sources
What does not count
  • Your own website
  • Your social profiles
  • Paid listings
  • Your own press releases

Language models weight your own and paid sources far lower than evidence from third parties.

The source base decides. It is not the volume of your own content that determines whether you get recommended, but the number of independent sources about you. Language models weight your own website, social profiles and paid listings far lower.

The buying journey

This is how it goes for your customers. Nine days, one click.

Day 1 · Problem

No category yet

We want to redo the bathroom in spring. What are we in for?

Day 3 · Category

Now the search term appears

One full-service provider or individual trades?

Day 9 · Checking

The name is on the table

Is this company trustworthy?

Day 9 · Contact

The only click

The last question is not typed. It is phoned in.

Your analytics shows a direct visitor with no origin. The decision had long been made.

In comparison

Other GEO agencies. And meit.

The usual approach

Listed is good enough

  • Optimises for brand queries you already win
  • Reports visibility with no link to revenue
  • Buys mentions in directories
  • Treats SEO and GEO as two projects
  • Shows a dashboard instead of raw data

Performance GEO & SEO

Being the answer before the question is asked

  • Occupies the questions before the category, where demand is created
  • Converts visibility into francs, with the assumptions on the table
  • Builds the source base with real third parties, earned instead of bought
  • Handles both from one place, because it is the same content
  • Hands you the raw data — it belongs to you

About meit

One person leading technology, marketing and narrative.

Merag Shahzad, founder of meit, GEO and SEO specialist in Zurich

Whether an AI recommends you is decided by three things at once. In most agencies three departments handle them. Here they sit in one pair of hands — which saves everything that usually gets lost in translation.

Merag Shahzad has worked in marketing since 2006 and as a brand performance strategist since 2012. More than ten years in the Swiss market — early on for names such as The Dolder Grand and Swiza, and privately connected to Switzerland for just as long, through his Swiss family. He sold his Hamburg agency in 2023; meit has been based in Zurich ever since. Mandates in Switzerland, Germany and Austria, in English, German and French.

Why now

This window is closing.

Three reasons why the next few months are worth more than the two years after them.

01

You help shape the memory

What the models learn today, they hand out as knowledge tomorrow. Whoever is in the sources now is in the answer later.

02

There are still no ads

So far you cannot buy your way into an AI answer. Once that changes, the space you can still earn today will get expensive.

03

Your decision-makers are already there

CEOs, founding families and department heads across the Swiss Mittelstand research with ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity — as do service providers and RFP participants.

Competition in Switzerlandstill small today

22%

Anyone starting in two years will be up against competitors who by then have three years of source base behind them. That is the most expensive route.

Frequently asked

What you are probably wondering right now.

If your customers research before they buy: yes. Most strongly in industry, B2B, consulting, healthcare, construction and anything that gets explained and compared. The first analysis tells you whether it is worth it in your sector — even when the answer is no.

No, it builds on it. A site Google cannot read properly will not be quoted by any language model either. That is why we do both from one place. In detail: GEO vs. SEO.

Not today. There is no ad slot to rent. Whoever qualifies as a source gets named. Which is exactly why the timing is good right now.

Technical points take effect within days. The source base takes weeks to months, because third parties have to write first. We measure from day one and report monthly — including the months when nothing moved.

From 25 fixed questions, measured identically every month, across four systems, from Switzerland. You see visibility, position, depth and every cited source quoted verbatim. The raw data belongs to you — see methodology and fact sheet.
