Your brand’s
reputation in the eyes of
artificial intelligence.

Agentic Relations is APPLE TREE’s service for helping brands improve how they appear and are recommended in ChatGPT, Gemini and other AI models.

We analyse what these systems currently say about your brand, identify gaps or inaccurate messages, and put a communications, content and digital presence strategy into action so that AI knows your brand better, describes it accurately and considers it when your customers look for solutions like yours.

Frequently asked questions

What is Agentic Relations?

It is APPLE TREE’s service to help AI models understand, accurately describe and recommend a brand. It combines an audit using programmed agents, a brand narrative strategy, an integrated communications plan and continuous measurement.

What is GEO and how does it relate to Agentic Relations?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the set of practices that help generative answer engines, such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, find, understand and cite information about a brand. Agentic Relations is APPLE TREE’s strategic layer on top of GEO, AEO and SEO: it adds an agent-powered audit, brand narrative and an integrated communications plan that coordinates content, media and reputation.

How does it differ from SEO and traditional public relations?

SEO works to secure a place in a list of links. Agentic Relations works to ensure a brand appears, and is accurately described, in an AI assistant’s answer. It uses public relations, content and community activity, but prioritises and measures them based on what models say. It adds a strategic layer to the work an organisation already does.

Which models and markets do you measure?

ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews, across one or more countries and languages. The scope is tailored to the budget and expands with the brand.

When will we see results?

That depends on the action and the model, and we do not promise timelines. We measure the same set of prompts in each cycle, compare the results with the baseline and review the strategy at least quarterly.

What does my brand receive in the initial audit?

A universe of questions tailored to your brand, an initial measurement across multiple models, and a diagnosis covering your Share of Answer, how models describe you, a competitor benchmark and prioritised gaps, together with a 90-day action plan.

Do you guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend my brand?

No. No provider can guarantee this, because models vary between runs and change over time. We improve the likelihood by working on the sources that models read, and we measure it continuously.
