GEO audit for furniture brands: where LLMs cite you when someone wants a sofa

"Best modular sofa under €2000", "Scandinavian-style bedroom in Milan", "Maisons du Monde alternatives with design". For every prompt like this ChatGPT picks 3-5 brands. The GEO audit tells you whether you're one and why the others win.

Why your industry needs a GEO audit

Furniture has long purchase cycles: buyers research 4-8 weeks before purchasing. Increasingly that research happens via LLMs ("something between Maisons du Monde and B&B Italia"). Without an audit you don't know where your brand enters the initial consideration set.

Showroom + AI mismatch

You've invested in physical retail and digital ads but LLMs cite generalist marketplaces because they aggregate more reviews.

Niche vocabulary

Prompts use stylistic terms ("japandi", "mid-century") that your SEO optimized for "3-seater sofa" doesn't intercept.

Made in Italy mispositioned

Italian craftsmanship value often fails to emerge in AI answers because the site doesn't declare it with structured signals.
