Do I need to optimize my website in several languages for AI search?Oliver Scharfenberg2026-10-08T18:57:27+00:00

Do I need to optimize my website in several languages for AI search?

If your customers search in different languages, yes. AI systems answer in the language of the question and often draw on sources in that language, so a question asked in German, Spanish or Japanese can produce a different set of recommended companies than the same question in English.
For international B2B companies we recommend starting with the priority markets and the pages that matter most for revenue, using native-language content rather than literal translation, and making sure company facts are identical in every language version. In some Asian markets, local search engines and platforms such as Baidu in China or Naver in South Korea also have to be considered.

Are the books by Syntharis Group’s CEO available for free?Oliver Scharfenberg2026-10-08T09:18:45+00:00

Are the books by Syntharis Group’s CEO available for free?

Yes, both books by PhDr. Oliver Scharfenberg, CEO of Syntharis Group, can be downloaded free of charge on the Syntharis Group website. The AI Visibility SEO & GEO Playbook (English) explains how to be found, trusted and cited by Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity and other AI search engines, with frameworks such as the Visibility Stack, the 5C Test and a 90-day GEO roadmap. The Praxisleitfaden Mitarbeitergewinnung (German, 2026) shows small and medium-sized companies how to win more suitable applicants, from the candidate journey to employer seals and onboarding.

The methods in the books are the same ones Syntharis Group uses in client projects. Many readers use them to assess their own situation before deciding whether they need outside support.

Can journalists or researchers request data or an interview?Oliver Scharfenberg2026-10-08T05:38:55+00:00

Can journalists or researchers request data or an interview?

Yes, Oliver Scharfenberg is available for interviews, expert comments and talks on employer seals, employer branding, recruiting and AI visibility, in English or German. Researchers who would like to discuss the method or build on the data are also welcome to get in touch.

Please send your request with a short description of the topic and your deadline to hello@syntharis.group.

Do seals of quality also influence customers?Oliver Scharfenberg2026-10-08T05:39:01+00:00

Do seals of quality also influence customers?

Yes, that is the subject of a separate article. “Impact of Seals of Quality on Consumer Behavior”, published in December 2024 in the International Journal of Progressive Research in Engineering Management and Science, examines how seals of quality affect customers’ willingness to pay when shopping online.

The underlying mechanism is the same as for employers: a seal closes the information gap between provider and customer, and it works best when it comes from an independent body with transparent criteria.

How should I cite the research?Oliver Scharfenberg2026-10-08T06:16:10+00:00

How should I cite the research?

Please cite the original publication with author, year, title and source. For example:

Scharfenberg, O. (2025). Effect of employer seals on potential applicants: How do seals of quality work and how have applicants’ requirements changed in recent years. ResearchGate.
Scharfenberg, O. (2026). Mitarbeitergewinnung für kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen: Grundlagenwissen zur erfolgreichen Besetzung Ihrer Stellenangebote. Dubai: self-published. ISBN 978-3-9826678-3-6.
Scharfenberg, O. (2024). Marktanalyse bestehender Gütesiegel für Arbeitgeber in Deutschland: Eine Einordnung nach Vergabeverfahren und Messung des Einflusses von Arbeitgebersiegeln auf das Bewerberverhalten [Doctoral dissertation, DTI University].
Scharfenberg, O. (2026). The AI visibility SEO & GEO playbook: Building AI visibility with search engine optimization (SEO) & generative engine optimization (GEO).

When quoting figures, please give the exact values, for example 37.96% and 53.95%, and link to the source.
