# Lead Engine > Lead Engine builds inquiry pipelines for B2B manufacturers, industrial suppliers, brand owners and distributors selling across borders. Two lines feed one pipeline: an outbound line (researched, one-to-one email to decision-makers) and a GEO line (Generative Engine Optimization, so ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and other AI assistants name the client when buyers ask who to source from).
