Eko Media is an Auckland-based Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) agency. We make New Zealand businesses readable, trusted and named when buyers ask AI assistants — ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot — who to hire.
A free-to-paid ladder. See the problem before you spend, and the fix before you commit to keeping it.
An automated first pass — can AI even read your site? A plain-English snapshot, emailed to you.
FreeWe run the questions your buyers ask across the major assistants, and record where AI names you, misses you, or names a competitor.
One-off, quotedWe make your site readable, structured and citable to the Eko Standard — without losing how it looks.
From NZ$2,500Models, prompts and competitors move. We re-run the prompt set monthly and report what changed.
From NZ$1,999/moEvery build is scored and fixed against the same six pillars.
For an agent we built for, ChatGPT names her among local Hibiscus Coast agents in a logged-out search (June 2026), and her Eko-built suburb pages rank on Google for searches like "sell my house in Manly".
For an Orewa mortgage broker we work with, both ChatGPT and Google AI Mode named the brokerage among local options in a logged-out search (June 2026).
Honest note: results are engine-specific (the engines named above, in logged-out tests on the dates shown) — not every AI assistant, and not a claim of sole causation. No one controls how a model phrases an answer; what we control is whether you're readable, trustworthy and present in the sources AI draws from.
A GEO agency makes a business readable, trustworthy and citable to AI assistants — ChatGPT, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot — so that when buyers ask those tools who to hire, the business is named in the answer. Where SEO competes for a position in a list of links, GEO competes for inclusion in a generated answer.
Yes. Eko Media is an Auckland-based agency and we work with businesses across Auckland and the rest of New Zealand. The work is done remotely, so location is no barrier anywhere in NZ.
SEO competes for position in a ranked list of links; GEO competes for inclusion in an AI answer. AI assistants don't show ten results — they name one or two businesses and move on. A site can rank well on Google and still never be named by AI, because assistants select sources they can read, parse and trust. GEO builds on sound SEO foundations rather than replacing them.
The major assistants buyers actually use: ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot. The underlying work — clean structure, verifiable facts and crawler access — benefits all of them at once because they draw on overlapping signals.
No. No one controls how a model phrases its answer, and anyone promising a guaranteed number-one mention is bluffing. What we control is whether your business is readable, trustworthy and present in the sources AI draws from. That's where citations come from, and that's the part we build and maintain.
The AI Readiness Check is free. The AI-Citation Audit is a one-off fixed fee, quoted before we start. A GEO Playbook Build starts from NZ$2,500 as a one-off project. The GEO Retainer starts from NZ$1,999 per month, billed monthly, cancel anytime. Most clients start free and step up only once they've seen the gap.
