Tuesday, 13 April 2027 – 1–2pm (UK time) | £99 + VAT

Getting Found in AI Search: A Marketer's Guide to GEO

  • £99 + VAT
  • Live on Zoom, 60 minutes
  • With Alison Battisby
  • No SEO background needed

When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Google's AI answers to recommend a business like yours, does your name come up? In this one-hour live masterclass, Alison Battisby shows you how AI search finds and describes businesses, and what you can do to get found.

More people are asking AI tools for recommendations, so it matters whether your brand shows up and what gets said about it when it does. You might have seen this called GEO, short for generative engine optimisation. We'll keep the jargon to a minimum and stick to practical steps you can take across your website, blog and social channels.

What we'll cover


  1. How AI search decides who to mention

    How tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google's AI answers choose which businesses to recommend, in plain English.


  2. What AI is saying about you today

    A simple way to check how AI tools describe your brand right now, and spot anything missing or out of date.


  3. Your website and blog

    The changes that help AI tools find your content and understand what you do.


  4. Social media, reviews and mentions

    The part your social channels, customer reviews and mentions on other sites play in what AI says about you.


  5. GEO and SEO together

    How GEO sits alongside the SEO you're already doing, so you're building on what you have rather than starting again.

What you'll leave with

  • A simple way to check how your brand shows up in AI answers
  • A list of fixes to prioritise across your website, blog and social profiles
  • A clear explanation of GEO you can share with your boss or web team

Who it's for

Marketers and business owners who keep hearing about AI search and want to know what to do about it. No SEO background needed, just bring your questions.

Questions about this masterclass

When and where is the Getting Found in AI Search masterclass?

Tuesday 13 April 2027, 1–2pm UK time. It's a one-hour live session on Zoom, so you can join from anywhere.

How much does it cost?

£99 + VAT. It's also one of the 12 masterclasses in our 2027 Season Ticket, which is £300 + VAT if you book by Friday 18 December 2026, then £495 + VAT.

Who is this masterclass for?

Marketers, in-house marketing teams and business owners who keep hearing about AI search and want to know what to do about it. If you look after a website, a blog or social media channels, it's for you.

Do I need to know about SEO?

No. Alison explains everything in plain English and keeps the jargon to a minimum. If you already do some SEO, you'll see how GEO builds on the work you're doing.

What is GEO?

GEO stands for generative engine optimisation. It's the work you do to help AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini find your business, understand what you do and mention you when someone asks for a recommendation. You may also hear it called AI search optimisation.

How is GEO different from SEO?

SEO is about ranking in a list of search results. GEO is about whether AI tools mention your business in the answers they write, and what they say about you when they do. The two overlap a lot, so good SEO gives you a head start. The masterclass shows you where they differ and what to add.

Which AI tools does the masterclass cover?

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google's AI answers, including AI Overviews. The same principles apply to other AI assistants, so what you learn won't go out of date when a new tool comes along.

Does social media affect what AI tools say about my business?

It can. AI tools look at what's said about you across the web, not only on your own website, so your social profiles, customer reviews and mentions on other sites all play a part. Alison shows you which of these to focus on first.

What will I come away with?

A simple way to check how your brand shows up in AI answers, a list of fixes to prioritise across your website, blog and social profiles, and a clear explanation of GEO you can share with your boss or web team. It's live, so you can put your own questions to Alison.

Is this masterclass included in the Season Ticket or Membership?

Yes, both. It's April's masterclass in the 2027 Season Ticket, so Season Ticket holders already have a place. Members get every 2027 masterclass included too, so there's nothing to book.

What if I can't make it live?

Season Ticket holders get the recording after every session.

Can I get a VAT invoice?

Yes. Eventbrite sends your receipt straight away. If your finance team needs a full VAT invoice, email hello@avocadosocial.com.

Can I book for my team?

Yes, choose one ticket per person at checkout, for this masterclass or the Season Ticket. For larger teams, or if you'd like this session run just for your organisation, email hello@avocadosocial.com.

Can Alison help with our own brand?

Yes. Membership gives you an hour one-to-one with Alison every month, so you can work through your own channels and questions, plus every 2027 masterclass, for £200 + VAT a month. If you'd like an outside view first, our Social Media Health Check reviews up to three of your channels for £495 to £750 + VAT. Book a discovery call to talk it through.
