About Us

One of China's first GEO companies, defining brand visibility for the AI search era

Liekan Technology was founded in the inaugural year of the GEO industry. We are both the driving force behind GEO methodology and industry standards, and the practitioners who turn methodology into product and real results for brands — from the first China GEO Conference, to every line of open-source code, to every client's visibility growth.

Why Liekan

GEO is an industry flooded with new concepts. What makes Liekan different: we wrote the methodology, we pushed the standards, we open-sourced the tools — and in the end, we validate the product on real clients ourselves.

First-mover, ahead in insight

Among China's first GEO companies, on the front line since the industry's earliest days. The cases we've seen, the pitfalls we've hit and the playbooks we've validated form a cognitive moat others can't quickly replicate.

Standards contributor

From the GEO Conference to the paper trilogy, from an academic-grade measurement framework to metric definitions — Liekan is deeply involved in building the industry's early standards. We're not just a player; we're a co-author of the rules.

Proprietary methodology

The "Seen · Trusted · Liked" three-layer metric system is grounded in academic-grade measurement research, not ad-hoc report stacking — every metric has a clear definition, is benchmarkable, and is tracked daily.

Open-source DNA

GEOFlow, GEORank, GEOHub and 20+ GEO Skills are fully open-sourced with 10,000+ GitHub Stars. Product capabilities keep evolving through community scrutiny and feedback.

Evidence-based product loop

The Liekan GEO Workbench covers the full chain from monitoring and insight to content optimization — every optimization is verified with daily data. We don't do unfalsifiable "voodoo optimization".

Fluent in brand and growth

Our founding team brings marketing executive experience from listed companies and unicorns — translating technical language into business goals for brands. GEO is not just a technical craft; it's a growth craft.
