AI search optimization - AEO / GEO

Be the answer, not just a link they scroll past.

Why this is a separate discipline

Ranking and being cited are two different skills

Google ranks pages by matching intent to a URL you click. AI engines answer directly, often citing only a handful of sources - sometimes without a click at all. Showing up there takes a different kind of optimization: how your content is structured, whether AI crawlers can reach it, and whether a model trusts it enough to quote.

01

AI crawler indexing

Your pages are actively submitted and read by AI models, not left to be discovered on their own timeline.

02

Structured for extraction

Content and schema formatted the way models pull answers from - clear entities, clear claims, clear structure.

03

Entity & brand clarity

Consistent, unambiguous information about who you are and what you offer, so models describe you accurately.

04

Citation tracking

See exactly which prompts surface your brand across engines, and which ones still don't - updated continuously.

What's included

Everything needed to be found by AI, done for you

This runs alongside your SEO, using the same content and technical foundation - not a separate, disconnected workstream you have to manage twice.

What to expect

How your AI visibility comes together

This space moves fast, and how AI platforms index content is still evolving. Here's the realistic shape of the work, stage by stage.

STAGE01
AI visibility audit

We check where you already stand

Before changing anything, we test how your brand currently shows up across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity for the prompts your buyers are likely to ask.

STAGE02
Structure & submit

Your content gets rebuilt to be citable

Key pages are restructured for clarity, tagged with schema and llms.txt, and actively submitted to AI platforms for indexing - not left to be discovered by chance.

STAGE03
Ongoing re-indexing

New and updated pages keep getting submitted

As your weekly content publishes and pages update, they're resubmitted for AI indexing on an ongoing cycle, so your visibility keeps compounding rather than going stale.

STAGE04
Track & report

You see exactly what's being cited

Prompt and citation tracking run continuously in your dashboard, and a strategist reviews the movement with you monthly - what's working, what isn't yet, and why.

We had no idea we were invisible in ChatGPT until they showed us the audit. Within six weeks we started showing up as a recommended option for our category - traffic our old agency never even tracked, let alone influenced.

Our product pages started showing up when we tested shopping-related prompts on ChatGPT. That's traffic and trust we couldn't buy with ads.

I didn't think AI search mattered for a local business until a customer told us they found us by asking Gemini. Now we track it on purpose.

The competitor visibility tracking was the real unlock. We could finally see exactly which prompts we were losing and why.

It runs alongside our regular SEO, not as some separate project competing for budget. That made the decision easy.

We're a niche supplier competing with much bigger names. Getting cited by name in AI answers levels that playing field in a way rankings alone didn't.

Honestly, we signed up half-skeptical this was a fad. The monthly report showing exactly which prompts we're cited on changed my mind fast.

Have questions?

AI search specifics, answered

What exactly do AEO and GEO mean?+
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) both describe optimizing for AI systems that generate direct answers instead of a list of links - think ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity. We use the terms interchangeably to mean the same discipline.
Which AI platforms do you actually target?+
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity are the primary focus, since they cover the large majority of AI-driven search traffic today. Coverage expands as new platforms gain meaningful usage.
Can you guarantee we'll be cited for specific prompts?+
No, and we wouldn't trust anyone who says they can - AI platforms control their own answers, and this space is still evolving quickly. What we can do is structure and submit your content correctly, and show you exactly how citation rates move over time.
Do I need this in addition to regular SEO, or instead of it?+
In addition to. Traditional search isn't going away, and the strongest AI visibility is usually built on the same well-structured, well-linked content that ranks in Google - the two reinforce each other rather than compete.
How is this tracked, and how do I see results?+
Your dashboard tracks the prompts most relevant to your business and shows which AI engines cite you for each one, updated continuously - plus a monthly walkthrough with a strategist covering what changed and why.
