Get your business cited by ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews

What is AI search optimisation?

AI search optimisation is the work of making your business easy for AI tools to find, understand and recommend. Answer engine optimisation (AEO) focuses on giving direct, well-structured answers to the questions people ask, so you appear in featured snippets, AI Overviews and voice results.

Generative engine optimisation (GEO) focuses on being cited as a source when tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot write a response. Both build on strong SEO rather than replacing it.

Why it matters now

When an AI tool answers a question directly, the businesses it names get considered and the ones it leaves out never get the chance. AI tools favour content with direct answers, clear structure and consistent facts over long, vague copy.

AI models also piece together a view of you from your website, directories, reviews and mentions elsewhere, so mixed or out-of-date details weaken it. Our AI SEO services work on both sides: what is on your site and what is said about you across the web.

AI search optimisation: your questions answered

What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?

SEO helps your pages rank in search results. AEO helps your content become the direct answer in featured snippets, AI Overviews and voice search. GEO helps your business get cited when AI tools such as ChatGPT write a response. They overlap heavily, and all three start with a well-built, trustworthy website.

Do I still need SEO if people are using AI tools?

Yes. AI tools lean heavily on search results and well-ranked pages when they build answers, so strong SEO is the foundation. AEO and GEO build on top of it.

Can you guarantee my business will appear in ChatGPT?

Nobody can honestly guarantee it, because AI tools do not publish how they choose their sources. What we can do is make your business the clearest, most consistent and most credible answer available, and track how often you are named over time.

How do you measure AI search visibility?

We run a fixed set of buyer questions through the main AI tools each month and record whether you are mentioned or cited. We report that alongside visits from AI tools in your analytics.

Is AI search optimisation included in your SEO retainers?

Yes. Unlike a standalone GEO agency, we treat it as part of good SEO, so we build it into every SEO engagement. We can also run a standalone AI visibility audit for businesses that want a baseline first, from [ADD PRICE].
