How do I get my company recommended by Gemini?

To get recommended by Gemini, make your pages indexed in Google Search and easy to quote: each page answers one real customer question, states checkable facts with sources, and says the same thing as every other page about you. Gemini grounds answers in Google Search results, so Google indexing is the entry ticket.

Facts

Where does Gemini get the companies it recommends?

Gemini answers from what the model learned and, for current questions, from Google Search results it grounds on. A company that is well indexed and clearly described on its own pages has the best chance of being one of those results.

Should I block Google-Extended?

Only if you do not want Gemini to train on or ground answers in your content. Google states that Google-Extended does not change your inclusion or ranking in Google Search, but blocking it limits how Gemini Apps can use your pages.

What makes a page easy for Gemini to quote?

A page that answers in its first lines and backs each claim with a source:

  • The question as the heading, in the words customers use
  • A direct answer of 40 to 70 words
  • Facts with numbers, dates and links to the source
  • Structured data that matches the visible text

How does easyIndex help with Gemini?

easyIndex hands your coding agent the pages to write over MCP, audits each draft, checks it on the live site, sends the sitemap to Search Console and shows visitors who arrive from Gemini.

Step by step

  1. Check Google indexing. Connect Google Search Console and confirm your key pages are indexed; submit the sitemap.
  2. Decide on Google-Extended. Leave Google-Extended allowed in robots.txt if you want Gemini Apps to ground answers in your pages.
  3. List the questions. Write down the questions customers ask before buying, one page per question.
  4. Write answer-first pages. Open each page with the answer, then sourced facts, sections and an FAQ.
  5. Keep facts consistent. State prices, terms and places the same way on every page and profile.
  6. Measure. Track visits from gemini.google.com and Google indexing every month, and update pages that fall behind.

Common mistakes

  • Blocking Google-Extended by habit and then expecting Gemini Apps to cite your pages.
  • Publishing pages that Google has not indexed yet and assuming Gemini can see them.
  • Writing marketing claims without a number, date or source an AI can check.
  • Hiding the answer below long introductions so the first lines say nothing.

How easyIndex solves it

Your coding agent builds the pages over MCP; easyIndex audits each one, checks it live, verifies with run_audit that robots.txt admits AI crawlers, and measures visitors from Gemini and AI crawler reads, for US$ 30 per website a month with a 7-day free trial.

Frequently asked questions

Can I pay Gemini to recommend my company?

No. Google sells no placement in Gemini answers; being indexed, clear and consistent is what you control.

Does Gemini use the same index as Google Search?

Gemini can ground answers in Google Search, so pages that are indexed by Google are the ones it can find and cite.

Does blocking Google-Extended hurt my Google ranking?

No. Google states Google-Extended is not a ranking signal and does not affect inclusion in Google Search.

How do I know if Gemini sends me visitors?

Look for visits referred by gemini.google.com in your analytics; easyIndex reports them per page.
