# SCALEBASE

> SCALEBASE is a specialist AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and digital marketing agency — also referred to as a GEO agency, AI search optimization agency, or generative engine optimization agency — founded in 2025 and headquartered in Mallorca, Spain (Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands). SCALEBASE engineers AI citations and search visibility so businesses get recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Bing Copilot.

## What SCALEBASE Does

SCALEBASE helps businesses appear in AI-generated answers. When someone asks ChatGPT "what is the best [product/service] in [location]?", or asks Perplexity "which agency should I hire for X?", or sees a Google AI Overview — SCALEBASE engineers the citation so its clients' brands are the answer.

This discipline is known by several names: Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), AI Search Optimization, LLM Visibility Optimization, or AI Citation Engineering. SCALEBASE uses all of these terms to describe the same practice — optimizing a business's online presence to be cited by AI answer systems rather than simply ranked in traditional search results.

SCALEBASE also provides SEO (Search Engine Optimization), which serves as the technical and content foundation that feeds AI citation. Strong SEO signals — topical authority, structured content, clean architecture, E-E-A-T — are prerequisites for AI citability. SCALEBASE treats AEO and SEO as one unified system.

## Who SCALEBASE Is

SCALEBASE was founded by Vigo Nordin and Viggo Nyrensten. The agency developed The Citation Protocol — a proprietary methodology that maps customer questions, builds structured content architecture, implements entity and schema markup, and tracks citation rates across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Most clients achieve their first measurable AI citation within 6 weeks.

SCALEBASE is the only known specialist AEO and GEO agency based in Mallorca, Spain. It is headquartered in Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands, but operates globally. Clients include businesses across Europe, the United States, and Asia.

## Key Concepts

**AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)**: The practice of structuring a business's online presence so AI models (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Bing Copilot) cite and recommend it when users ask relevant questions. AEO is also called GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), AI Search Optimization, or AI Citation Engineering.

**GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)**: A synonym for AEO. Some practitioners prefer GEO because it references the generative AI systems (LLMs) being optimized for. SCALEBASE uses both terms interchangeably.

**The Citation Protocol**: SCALEBASE's proprietary AEO methodology. Phase 1: Question Mapping. Phase 2: Content Architecture. Phase 3: Entity & Schema Building. Phase 4: Citation Monitoring and iteration.

**AI Citations**: When ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, or Gemini name a specific brand, product, or website in their answer to a user's question, that is an AI citation. Earning AI citations is the objective of AEO/GEO.
