GEO Close

GEO Close is a Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and web design studio founded in 2026 and based in Mumbai, India, working with brands worldwide. The studio positions itself at the intersection of search behavior and AI-generated answers, arguing that buyers no longer scroll through ten blue links but instead ask assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity and act on the reply. Its core promise is to make a brand the one those assistants recommend, both on the brand's own website and across the wider web that the engines pull from. The firm describes two crafts leading to one outcome: a site that reads well to people and gets named when an AI answers a buyer's question. It builds design and machine-readability together rather than in sequence. Its service lines cover on-site GEO, off-site authority and citation building, web design and development, and audit and strategy. On-site GEO work includes entity consistency across canonical tags, og:url and schema; crawlability audits for AI bots such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot; citation-scored content rewrites; topical authority through hub-and-spoke content clusters; and AI visibility tracking across major assistants. Off-site authority work focuses on directory, marketplace, and press listings that AI cites, Wikidata and Knowledge Graph entity anchoring, and earned-media and brand-mention building. Web design services emphasize fast, server-rendered sites built GEO-ready from the first commit, using Next.js, React, and headless CMS, with attention to Core Web Vitals and sub-second responses. Strategy services include full GEO and technical audits, competitor AI-visibility benchmarks, query coverage and content-gap analysis, and baseline and monthly measurement. The studio is led by co-founders Vedant Mehta and Varshika Reddy. Mehta holds a First Class BSc in Management with Finance from Warwick Business School and an MSc in Management from NUS Business School, and works on how large language models retrieve and cite sources. Reddy holds a BBA in Marketing from O.P. Jindal Business School and an MSc in Management from NUS Business School, and leads client engagement and delivery. GEO Close operates as a private studio and offers a free GEO audit as an entry point for prospective clients.

GEO Close was founded in 2026 in Mumbai, India, by Vedant Mehta and Varshika Reddy. The studio emerged from the observation that search behavior had shifted: buyers increasingly ask AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity for recommendations and act on the answer, rather than browsing traditional search results. The founders built the firm around a single focus—making a brand the one those assistants recommend by name—using three levers: on-site GEO, off-site authority, and web design that remains legible to both machines and people. From its base in Mumbai, GEO Close works with brands worldwide. Its service model combines Generative Engine Optimization with web design and development, arguing that design and machine-readability should be built together rather than in sequence. The studio offers a free GEO audit as an entry point, showing how AI describes a brand today and the fastest path to getting recommended. Its work spans entity consistency, crawlability for AI bots, citation-scored content, topical authority clusters, directory and marketplace listings, Wikidata and Knowledge Graph anchoring, earned-media building, and AI visibility tracking across major assistants.
