A brand-new B2B website, already recognised by AI and ranking in Google — inside its first month live
This is a real, live result — not a projection. The website was built, launched, and submitted to Google last month — you can check the exact dates and data yourself in the Search Console screenshots below. As a B2B SEO, AEO and GEO agency, Photon Media designs and builds websites with technical SEO, Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) built in from day one — correct schema markup, crawlable architecture, and content structured for how Google's search algorithm and AI models actually read a page. If you're evaluating a B2B website design agency for a manufacturer, distributor, SaaS company, or consumer brand, the same foundation applies: get found in organic search, get answered in AI search, and get recommended by AI assistants. Here's the data, straight from Google Search Console, for one live B2B client.
Data range: site launch (early August 2026) through September 3, 2026, pulled directly from Google Search Console.
Getting found in Google is not enough anymore
Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude to shortlist suppliers before they ever open Google. If your website isn't structured for AI answer engines, you simply don't exist in that conversation. This is exactly what our Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) service is built to fix.
Client: MicroCosmos Imaging Systems — a B2B microscopy manufacturer. A brand-new website, ranking in Google and getting cited inside AI-generated answers in under a month of going live. Built as part of Photon Media's web development and SEO/AEO/GEO workflow.

Ranking for real, non-branded B2B search terms
Anyone can rank for their own company name. The real test of SEO, AEO and GEO is showing up for the product, category, and scientific-standard terms a buyer types when they don't know your brand yet. These are real, non-branded queries and positions, pulled directly from the Google Search Console Queries report for this website.
Sample of real, non-branded queries from the Google Search Console Performance report, Web search type, since this website went live last month. The full query list includes 380+ terms the site now appears for, spanning product model, scientific standard, and technical category searches. Want the same structure on your own site?

Common questions about this result
How fast can a new B2B website realistically start getting AI citations?
For the MicroCosmos website, Google's algorithm crawled, indexed, and began citing the site inside Generative AI features, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude in under a month of going live — because proper schema markup, crawlable architecture, and answer-ready content were built in before launch. Results vary by niche and competition, but a site engineered for SEO, AEO and GEO from the start sees search and AI visibility far faster than one retrofitted later.
What is the difference between SEO, AEO, and GEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is about ranking in traditional search results. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) structures content so search engines and voice assistants can lift direct answers from a page. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) structures a site so AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude can understand the offering and cite or recommend it in generated answers. Photon Media builds all three into every B2B website.
Is an average position of 8.8 good for a B2B website in its first month?
Yes. B2B search terms typically face stronger, more established competition than consumer keywords, since every competitor targets the same narrow pool of procurement and technical buyers. An 8.8 average position across a wide keyword set within the first month, without paid promotion, reflects a strong technical and content foundation.
Do these results include paid advertising?
No. The clicks, impressions, and AI citations shown here are 100% organic, generated entirely through the site's SEO, AEO, and GEO structure — not through paid search or social advertising. For paid channels, see our performance marketing services separately.
Can Photon Media do this for my B2B website?
This is a live, current example of our standard approach for B2B clients, not a one-off case. We build every B2B website with the same SEO, AEO, and GEO foundation, then track and optimise its search and AI visibility after launch.
Is Photon Media only a B2B SEO agency, or do you work with normal/consumer businesses too?
Photon Media works with both. We're a website design, SEO, AEO and GEO agency for B2B manufacturers, distributors and industrial brands, and equally for consumer, retail, hospitality, and services businesses — see our results for salons and consumer brands. The core principle is the same for any business: a site engineered for search engines and AI answer engines from day one performs better than one retrofitted after launch.
What does an AEO agency actually do differently from a normal SEO agency?
A normal SEO agency optimises primarily for ranking positions in Google's blue links. An AEO agency, or Answer Engine Optimization agency, additionally structures content, headings, and schema markup so that search engines, voice assistants, and featured snippets can lift a direct, accurate answer straight from your page — which is also the foundation AI models rely on to understand and quote your site.
How do I know if my website needs a GEO agency?
If your business relies on people researching before they buy, it needs GEO. Buyers increasingly ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Claude to shortlist companies before opening Google at all. A GEO agency, or Generative Engine Optimization agency, makes sure your website's entities, data, and content are structured clearly enough for those AI models to understand, trust, and recommend you.
Can a website rank globally, not just in one country?
Yes, when the technical SEO, schema markup, and content structure are built correctly. Photon Media builds websites with clean international-ready architecture, structured data, and answer-ready content, which is what allows a site to rank and get cited in search and AI answer engines across markets, not just its home country.
What does it cost to work with a B2B SEO, AEO and GEO agency?
Cost depends on scope — a new website build with SEO/AEO/GEO baked in versus an audit-and-fix engagement on an existing site are priced differently. The free audit request on this page is the fastest way to get a scoped estimate for your specific website and goals.
