Sēd Launches Rain™, the First End-to-End Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) Offering Built to Help Brands Infiltrate and Train AI, Not Chase It

RAIN strengthens the machine-readable foundation that influences whether AI systems cite, recommend, and surface brands over time

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sēd today announced the launch of Rain™, a proprietary Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) product designed to build long-term visibility, authority, and trust across search, answer engines, and large language models.

As discovery shifts from links to answers, organizations face a new risk: being absent inside the AI responses increasingly shaping the customer journey from consideration to decision-making. Rain™ addresses that challenge by strengthening the signals AI systems use to recognize, understand, and confidently cite or recommend a brand over time.

“There are very few companies and brands today addressing GEO beyond content optimization or deeper alignment with third party authorities. Despite AI’s huge impact on brand discovery and brand building, most GEO efforts focus only on improving outputs like mentions, snippets, and citations,” said Loretta Markevics, CEO of Sēd Communications. “Rain™ focuses on engineering your brand or company’s AI eligibility to show up in front of the right people and in the answers most relevant to your brand and corporate positioning and storytelling: the entity structure, schema, and answer-first content foundation that influence whether AI systems can identify you as a credible source in the first place and keep doing so as models evolve. This is the future of brand building.”

Why Rain™ is different

Rain™ is built on a simple premise: before a brand can ‘show up more,’ it must be machine-readable, consistently defined, and contextually reinforced across every surface and modality where AI learns. Unlike measurement-only tools or narrow channel tactics, Rain™ combines technical implementation, brand strategy inputs and goals, content engineering, and ongoing optimization to train the LLMs, into one integrated offering that is simple to activate.

Rain™ core elements:

• Entity & Trust Architecture: define the organization, topics, and relationships AI systems need to understand and connect to your company, brand, or topic in line with your corporate and brand strategy
• Answer-First Content Engineering: structure owned content for retrieval, extraction, and citation
• Schema & Knowledge Graph Implementation: build machine-readable relationships and references AI models rely on
• Multichannel Alignment: align owned, earned, paid, and shared media so AI sees consistent signals
• Managed AI Visibility: monitor, correct narrative drift, and refine as models and platforms change

Because Rain™ is implemented by an integrated marketing communications agency, Sēd can execute optimizations and create new content across the full ecosystem including websites, PR, thought leadership, CRM, social, and paid content, not simply measure performance after the fact. As a point of entry for new clients to get started, Rain includes a diagnostic that maps entity coverage and citation pathways across priority topics, then turns the findings into a technical and content blueprint.

From optimization to infrastructure

Rain™ reflects a shift in how visibility is earned in the AI era.

“The discipline has advanced faster than the roles around it,” Markevics added. “Organizations are still staffing for yesterday’s SEO. What they need now are senior strategists who understand brand identity, trust-building, and how AI systems ingest and interpret signals. GEO isn’t a quick fix. It’s an infrastructure upgrade for modern brand building.”

“This past year, search shifted from a discovery mechanism to a decision-shaping system,” said Alan Rambam, Sēd’s GEO lead. “GEO influences whether AI systems understand your content, trust it, and choose to cite or recommend it. For many categories, it’s becoming the foundation of visibility, and if you aren’t doing anything around GEO as an organization, you are essentially invisible.”

Rain™ is designed for organizations in complex and regulated environments including healthcare, financial services, and consumer brands, where accuracy, authority, and trust are non-negotiable. Rain™ is already being implemented with Sēd clients across nonprofit, consumer beverage, healthcare, and financial services.
