James O'Loughlin

CEO & Co-Founder

James O’Loughlin is the co-founder of GEOGrow — the first platform built for Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) — helping brands convert AI visibility into measurable leads and sales through strategy, optimization, and content.

James began his digital career in SEO back in 2000, guiding countless companies through the earliest waves of search innovation. A lifelong early adopter, he also mined Bitcoin in 2011 — long before mainstream awareness — and sees GEO as that same kind of once-in-a-generation transformation.

As co-founder of Pixaura Digital, James continues to merge analytics, creativity, and technology to help organizations grow smarter in the age of AI.

When he’s not exploring the next digital frontier, you’ll find him running or cycling — often finding his best ideas out on the trail. He lives in Cincinnati, Ohio with his family and mascot cat, Pixie.

Growth Is Probabilistic

We are not in control of the future, only the actions and narratives we strengthen along the way. Growth is not about finding the perfect decision or the “one right path”. It’s about building momentum, adapting to reality, and increasing the probability of the future you want. Inspired by Hidden Brain’s framework for designing a life that matters, this is how we built GEOGrow: craft truthful narratives, ship meaningful work, and keep moving forward.

From Search to Answers: Why GEO is the New SEO

"For 25 years, I've helped brands rank higher in Google search. But SEO and search is dead. Your next customer may never Google you. They'll ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Grok, etc., for your product or service. GEO, or generative engine optimization, is the new SEO. The problem is that AI doesn't rank websites; they rely on what they remember about you. If your brand isn't present or accurate in AI memory, your brand, your product, or your service is invisible" -James O'Loughlin CEO + Co-Founder GEOGrow
