In a digital world that is getting faster and smarter, local presence is more important than ever, especially within artificial intelligence. Because where before you could just type “baker” into Google, people now expect AI systems like ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity that they immediately the right baker in the neighborhood suggest.
But that doesn’t happen by itself. Local context plays a crucial role in how AI understands, positions and recommends your business.
At GEO.limo we build that visibility. We make sure your company is not only findable, but also recognized as the logical choice within a particular location, sector or specialization.
It is obvious to people: anyone who says “I am looking for a plumber in Herentals” means something completely different from “I am looking for a specialist in heating systems in Limburg”.
But AI has to understand that based on data. And so it bases itself on:
If AI doesn’t see a connection between your business and a place, region or neighborhood, you simply don’t appear in the answer.
Many companies make the mistake of positioning themselves too vaguely:
“We help customers throughout Belgium” or “We operate in multiple sectors” sounds professional, but for AI it is not specific enough.
Anyone who asks ChatGPT, “Where can I find a good garage owner near Mol?” gets an answer based on local relevance, not national coverage.
At GEO.limo, we help companies focus on that. Not “we do everything for everyone,” but:
👉 “We are the garage owner in Mol specializing in hybrid cars.”
That’s the kind of context AI can do something with.
AI models like ChatGPT and Gemini think not in miles, but in connections. They link companies to:
Those who cleverly build those connections appear more quickly as the local answer.
As also described in the Made in Kempen article, “GEO.limo focuses on companies that operate locally, but are often overlooked by AI because their online story is not sharp enough.”
The article goes on to explain how founder Yannick Meeus is capitalizing on this new reality by helping Flemish entrepreneurs concretely position themselves digitally within artificial intelligence. Not a vague future plan, but a tangible approach that is already producing results for local businesses.

At GEO.limo, we build your online visibility with three goals:
The name GEO.limo deliberately refers to “geo” = location. Because location is crucial in how AI formulates answers.
The question “Who does facade renovation?” is incomplete for an AI system. Only when it knows that the questioner is in Turnhout does it start looking for companies that are recognized as specialists within that locality.
Then, if you are mis-linked online or not at all, you choose the right words but someone else appears in the answer.
The role of Powerful Online in local building
Yannick Meeus, founder of GEO.limo, previously built Powerful Online into a digital agency that primarily helped local SMEs with websites, copywriting and SEO.
That experience with local visibility is invaluable today in GEO.limo:
What started with online presence has now evolved into being smartly present in places that AI understands.
We make sure your business:
In doing so, we start not from complex technical gadgets, but from a simple question:
👉 “If someone asks ChatGPT today who you are, does the system know what to answer?”
With GEO.limo’s Geo Scan, we map how you appear in AI answers today, what local connections are missing and what it takes to be recognized as the player in your region.
You won’t receive an inscrutable technical report, but a clear picture of how systems like ChatGPT currently view you and how we can improve it.
