GEO for ERP vendors and integrators
An ERP vendor or integrator gains AI visibility by publishing vertical specializations (manufacturing, distribution, services), partner certifications (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Odoo, Sage) and quantified client cases (project length, ROI, modules deployed).

When reviewing them, look at what an AI engine can extract: a precise activity rather than a slogan, the city, key facts with their source and date, an FAQ that answers buyer questions, and structured data consistent with the official website.
Data and sources
As of 2024, over 45 million web domains mark up their pages with over 450 billion Schema.org objects.
Structured data is a widely adopted standard; a supplier that publishes none gives engines less explicit information.

Gartner predicts traditional search engine volume will drop 25% by 2026, shifting to AI chatbots and virtual agents.
This is a forecast, not a measurement; it still signals that part of supplier searches will go through generated answers.

More than 800 million people use ChatGPT every week, according to OpenAI.
The figure covers all uses, not only industrial purchasing, but it shows the scale of the channel where your buyers already ask questions.

Frequently asked questions
Where should I start if my site has none of this yet?
Start with access: check that robots.txt does not block AI engine crawlers and that a sitemap.xml lists your pages. Then add an accurate Organization JSON-LD and one page per core activity with quantified facts. These steps require little development.
Do these optimizations hurt my Google rankings?
No. The same foundations serve classic SEO and AI answer visibility: accessible pages, precise content, valid structured data and consistent links. Just avoid repetitive mass-produced pages, which help neither.
How do I measure the effect of these changes?
Set a list of 10 to 15 buyer questions, record today whether your company is named and with which source, then repeat the test monthly. Track indexing in Google Search Console in parallel. Compare equivalent periods rather than isolated snapshots.
