Why It Matters
Why Generative Media Optimisation (GMO) Services Matter for Your Business
Search is increasingly visual and multimodal: people search with photos, watch video answers and ask assistants questions about images. Media that has no text, vague names or unclear ownership is hard for these systems to interpret, so it rarely surfaces.
We audit your media library, describe what each asset shows, add the markup that machines read and make sure original, high-quality assets are easy to find. Accessibility improves at the same time, which helps real users too.

FAQ
Generative Media Optimisation (GMO) Services, Answered
What is Generative Media Optimisation?
GMO makes images, video and audio easy for AI and visual search to find, understand and use.
Is GMO the same as image SEO?
Image SEO is part of it. GMO also covers video, audio, transcripts, markup, originality and rights for generative and multimodal search.
Does alt text still matter?
Yes. It helps screen readers and gives search and AI systems a text description of the image.
Should I label AI-generated images?
It is good practice to label them clearly where required or helpful, and to avoid presenting generated media as real photos.
Do I need transcripts for every video?
Transcripts make video searchable and accessible, so we recommend them for all important videos.
Will GMO increase my traffic?
It can improve how media is found and understood, but results vary with competition and content. We report measurable progress.
Which formats do you recommend?
Modern compressed formats such as WebP or AVIF for images and well-structured video hosting with captions.
Can you handle my whole media library?
Yes. We start with the pages that matter most to your business and work through the rest.
Can ERPHUBs provide gmo services in Australia?
Yes. ERPHUBs serves businesses in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, working in Australian Eastern, Central and Western time zones, with working sessions during Australian business hours, with campaigns planned around the financial year ending on 30 June, Black Friday and Boxing Day sales, and the December to January slowdown. Our fees are quoted in AUD.
What consent and privacy rules affect gmo services in Australia?
The Spam Act 2003 requires consent, a sender identity and a working unsubscribe for commercial email, the Privacy Act 1988 covers personal information, and the Do Not Call Register affects phone outreach, so we log consent and honor opt-outs. These are general pointers, not legal advice, so please confirm the details with your adviser.
Please note
Search, AI and advertising platforms change often, and results depend on your market, competition, content and the platforms' own decisions. We do not guarantee rankings, citations in AI answers, traffic or leads. We agree measurable targets and report progress openly. Legal, tax and consent rules vary by country, so please confirm requirements with your adviser.
