Geolix.ai and Airwallex Link AI Visibility to Cross-Border Payments
Singapore's Geolix.ai has partnered with Airwallex to help cross-border sellers get cited and recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and DeepSeek as they expand overseas.

Geolix.ai, a Singapore-based generative engine optimization and AI marketing agency, has signed a partnership with Airwallex, the global payments and financial platform, to help Airwallex customers find and convert overseas buyers.
The deal works in two directions. Geolix.ai already runs its own subscription billing on Airwallex's infrastructure. Now the agency's GEO capabilities will be offered to Airwallex customers who need brand visibility as they push into international markets.
What does GEO actually do for an exporter?
Generative engine optimization targets a specific, fast-growing behavior: buyers researching products and comparing suppliers inside AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and DeepSeek. If an AI engine doesn't understand, cite or recommend your brand, you're invisible at the exact moment a purchase decision forms.
Geolix.ai's method stacks four services:
- Buyer-intent research, mapping the questions prospective customers actually ask
- AI visibility diagnostics, showing how a brand currently appears in AI-generated answers
- Website and content optimization
- Third-party source development, closing gaps in the information AI engines draw on
The pitch to Airwallex customers is straightforward. Improve how AI engines explain your offerings, and you reach relevant audiences in markets where you have no local presence yet.
Why pair marketing with payments?
For a cross-border seller, growth has two bottlenecks and they arrive together. You need customers, and you need the financial infrastructure to take their money. Airwallex supplies the rails for international payments; Geolix.ai supplies the demand side, connecting customer acquisition with the payment capabilities businesses need as they expand.
Each new overseas buyer won through AI-driven discovery generates cross-border transaction volume on Airwallex's platform. The partnership is designed so that growth in one feeds the other.
It builds on an existing relationship
The two companies aren't starting cold. Geolix.ai had already collaborated with Airwallex's China team on SEO, GEO and international growth programs.
In September 2026, Geolix.ai founder Andy Guo joined Kathy Shi, Manager of Growth Content Marketing at Airwallex China, for a live session on how brands can adapt to AI-led customer discovery. The new partnership formalizes and extends that relationship from a China-team collaboration to a broader commercial tie.
What does this change for CMOs?
If you sell internationally, or plan to, the deal signals where B2B discovery budgets are heading. Buyers increasingly ask ChatGPT or Perplexity to shortlist suppliers rather than typing queries into search boxes. A payments platform partnering with a GEO agency is a concrete indicator that AI visibility is becoming table stakes for exporters, not an experimental channel.
The partnership is now live, with Geolix.ai positioning its diagnostics and optimization services to Airwallex's customer base as they scale across borders.
