GEO (generative engine optimization) consultant for brands in Kenya
GEO (generative engine optimization) in Kenya means making sure ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews name your brand when buyers in Nairobi, Mombasa and across Kenya ask what to buy. RemoteCMO is an AI visibility and GEO consultancy that serves brands in Kenya, working remotely, led by Ankit Gupta, who worked across 12 African markets at Jumia. We run your buyers' questions, compare you with competitors, find the sources the engines quote, and fix the gaps.
How do buyers in Kenya use AI search?
Gemini matters more in Kenya than in most markets. In September 2026 ChatGPT accounted for about 69% of AI chatbot referral traffic in Kenya and Google Gemini for about 21%, according to Statcounter. So we track Gemini and Google AI Overviews closely here, not as an extra.
Kenyan buyers ask in English, often mixed with Swahili or Sheng, and many questions are about payment and delivery: whether a brand takes M-Pesa, and whether it delivers outside Nairobi. We include those details in the questions we test.
Statcounter figures are shares of AI chatbot referral traffic for September 2026, not counts of users.
What do Kenyan buyers ask AI assistants?
Examples of the kind of questions we run for brands in Kenya. These are illustrations, not client results.
