When customers ask AI, do they hear your name?
An overseas buyer asked ChatGPT — and ended up placing a big order with a company in Sheung Shui. Yours could be next.
Here are a few Hong Kong companies worth considering:
- Company A
- Company B
- Company C
- Company D
An overseas buyer asked ChatGPT — then came to place a big order
“I asked artificial intelligence, and it provided 4–5 companies based in Hong Kong.”
It wasn't an ad that recommended them — it was ChatGPT. So why did AI pick them? Read on.
Not a one-off: the way customers find companies has changed

AI only recommends a handful of companies
When a customer asks AI “who's best?” and you're not on the list, they go straight to your competitors.
SEO gets Google to find you. GEO / AEO gets AI to recommend you.

What are SEO, AEO and GEO?
SEO
Search Engine Optimisation
Gets you found in Google results. Customers scan ten links and choose — it's all about where you rank.
AEO
Answer Engine Optimisation
Makes you the direct answer — quoted by Google AI Overviews and voice assistants when they respond.
GEO
Generative Engine Optimisation
Gets ChatGPT, Gemini, Doubao and DeepSeek to bring up your name when recommending companies.
They work together: SEO is the foundation, AEO and GEO get AI to choose you. We do all three.
