How Outset PR Approaches GEO in Crypto Communications
Outset PR has emerged as one of the first agencies to treat AI visibility as a PR problem rather than a purely technical one. The methodology behind its GEO framework was initially tested internally.
Before offering AI-aware PR services to clients, the agency restructured its own public-facing presence—website, media mentions, listings, and review platforms—around a single, coherent narrative: data-driven crypto PR with a human touch. The goal was semantic consistency.
As a result, LLMs began recognizing Outset PR as a distinct, authoritative entity rather than a collection of fragmented mentions. Over time, the agency’s terminology and positioning started appearing in AI-generated explanations of data-driven PR in blockchain, as well as in Google and Gemini results.
This demonstrated a critical point: PR can directly influence how AI systems describe and categorize a brand.
Applying GEO to Web3 Brands
Building on its own results, Outset PR now applies this AI-optimized framework to Web3 companies through its PR for LLM Discovery offering.
The service combines verified media coverage, building narratives that align with market trends, and technical discoverability. The objective is not traffic alone, but inclusion in the algorithmic layer where modern discovery happens.
When someone asks an AI system about a blockchain category, a technology, or a market trend, the goal is for the project’s data, positioning, and perspective to be part of the explanation.
By establishing semantic consistency and distributing authoritative content through AI-indexed publications, Outset PR helps crypto brands shift from chasing clicks to earning visibility through algorithmic understanding.
The Strategic Shift for Crypto PR
Crypto PR is no longer limited to rankings and backlinks. It now includes managing how AI systems interpret and explain a brand.
SEO ensures content exists and is discoverable. GEO ensures the brand is remembered.
Projects that ignore GEO risk disappearing from AI-driven discovery. Projects that ignore SEO risk never entering the system at all. For Web3 brands, balance is no longer optional—it is structural.
