Case Study
What GEO looks like on a real business
Shamrock Electrical is an Irish wholesaler of smart heating and lighting products, based in Rathcoole, Dublin, serving homeowners and trade professionals since 2016. Shamrock sells products online, but the methodology works the same way for any business: where Shamrock gets cited for "radiators in Ireland", a consultant gets cited for "best accountant in Cork". Here is what happened in the first 72 hours after one round of GEO implementation.
From invisible to cited in 72 hours across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini.
Google Gemini
"Where can I buy Smart WiFi radiators in Ireland?"
Shamrock listed first in Gemini's product recommendations for a transactional search.
ChatGPT
"Best electric radiators Ireland"
ChatGPT recommended a specific Shamrock product with price and a direct link to buy.
Perplexity
"Where can I buy Hollywood vanity mirrors in Ireland?"
Perplexity named Shamrock for a completely different product category, on the same day.
4
different buyer queries.
3 AI engines.
72 hours.
Shamrock is the obvious one.

Based on a single round of spot checks across three AI platforms. A full audit typically surfaces more.

Artificial intelligence consulting run by someone who has done it, not just sold it.
Clever Merchants provides artificial intelligence consulting to owner-managed businesses, from a base in Dublin, Ireland, working across Ireland, the UK, the United States, Canada and Australia. We find where AI saves a business the most time and money, then implement it: AI receptionists, quote follow-up, invoice chasing, job profitability reporting and the rest of the admin that eats an owner's week. See AI consulting for small business, our Irish page and how pricing works.
Clever Merchants also delivered the GEO implementation for Shamrock Electrical and verified the results directly. Within 72 hours, Shamrock was cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google Gemini across four different buyer queries. Those citations are the proof of methodology, not a case study built on estimates.
The work is run by Ger Devereux, who has a background in electrical wholesale and the trades sector. That domain experience means Clever Merchants understands how service businesses actually get found by buyers, not just how online stores do. Clients are based worldwide, with no geography restriction.
Clever Merchants works with owner-managed businesses to find where AI can save them the most time and money. The work starts with a free AI Readiness Review. For businesses that need AI search presence, Clever Merchants also delivers GEO programmes that get businesses cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.
