When customers ask AI, the answer is you.
NORTHFORM is a marketing, SEO, GEO and web development agency in Iași, Romania. Through GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), meaning optimization for AI assistants, we get ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI-generated summaries (AI Overviews) to recommend your business, not your competitors. Then we build the website, the analytics and the systems that turn that recommendation into customers.
We work with companies in hospitality and professional equipment, recovery and fitness, home care and medical laboratories.

Search is no longer ten links, it's one answer
More and more customers put their question straight to an AI assistant, or read the summary Google shows above the results. That answer cites only a handful of sources. If your business isn't one of them, it isn't in the running.
Classic SEO moves you up the list of links. GEO makes you the source the model cites when it puts together its recommendation. The two work together: many good SEO signals matter to AI assistants too, but they also want something more: a clear identity for your business, content that answers questions directly and outside sources that say the same thing about you.
- A patient asks which clinic in Iași does implants with a quick appointment.
- A restaurant owner asks which combi oven is worth buying for 120 meals a day.
- Someone looks for a fitness club with a sauna and a personal trainer near the office.
In all three cases, the first contact with your business is a sentence written by an AI model. Our job is to make sure that sentence exists and gets the facts right.
Three levers that get AI assistants to recommend you
This isn't SEO under another name. It comes down to three concrete things, which we build and can prove.
Business identity and structured data
The model needs to know exactly who you are: what you do, where and for whom. How AI understands your business (in GEO this is called an entity) is something we build through schema.org, consistent profiles (Google Business Profile, LinkedIn, directories) and the same information everywhere.
Content that's easy to cite
We rewrite your pages so they can be picked up and quoted: the direct answer in the first lines, concrete prices and timeframes, real FAQs and a structure the model understands without guessing.
Measurement
Every month, using a fixed set of questions from your field, we track how often ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews cite you. Our methodology is public, so you can check every number.
What we do, in practice
GEO is the tip. Underneath is everything that makes a recommendation bring in sales: a fast website, accurate analytics, campaigns and automation.

Four steps, repeated every month. Not a project that ends, but growth you can see in the report.

Strategy
We choose the questions, pages and outside sources that will bring the most citations, fastest.
Execution
We get to work: structured data, answer pages, profiles, fixes on your website. Month after month, not just once.
Measurement
We run the same set of questions every month and show you what changed, what didn't and why.
GEO is not SEO with an extra checkbox
Plenty of agencies have stuck a "GEO" label on what they were already doing. We started from the way people search today.

A small agency that pays attention to every detail
NORTHFORM is a small agency, on purpose. We work with a few clients at a time, so every project gets the time and attention it needs.
You talk directly to the people doing the work, with no middlemen and no account managers. We handle the audit, strategy and implementation ourselves: from structured data and analytics to WordPress plugins, campaigns and automation for B2B sales. We don't disappear after launch: we stay involved and follow the results month after month.
Frequently asked questions
Can't find your answer? Write to us directly.
What is GEO and how is it different from SEO?
SEO helps you rank high in Google's list of links. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) helps you get cited in the answer generated by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews. More and more decisions are made straight from that answer, without a single click on a link.
Does GEO replace SEO?
No, the two work together. A fast, well-structured website with authority matters in both cases. GEO adds a new layer: a clear entity, structured data, content that's easy to cite and consistent outside sources, things classic SEO doesn't put first.
How long before I see results?
The first changes usually show up on questions specific to your field a few weeks after implementation, depending on how often each model refreshes its sources. Steady growth in citations takes a few months to build, and we measure it monthly using the same set of questions.
How do you measure whether it's working?
Every month we ask several AI models the same set of questions relevant to your business and record when you are mentioned or cited as a source. From this data we calculate your citation rate and your AI presence rate. The details are on our methodology page.
How much does it cost?
Fixed-price services have a set price, published on the fixed-price services page, starting at 390 RON. For a full audit, implementation, monitoring or a new website, we send you a quote after the free audit, because the work involved depends on your field and your starting point.
Do you only work with businesses in Iași?
No. We are based in Iași and know the market in Romania's Moldova region well, but we work online with businesses all over Romania. For freelancers and agencies in other countries, we also offer GEO kits in English.
