The basics
Your customers are searching in more places.
A potential customer might search Google, ask ChatGPT for recommendations, compare options in Perplexity, or research a service with Microsoft Copilot. Your business needs a clear, trustworthy presence wherever that discovery happens.
AI search can summarise information from several sources and show links or citations. That makes clear, accurate, useful website content, and the ability for search systems to reach it, an important part of a modern search plan. It builds on SEO. It doesn't replace it.
The difference
SEO, AEO and GEO: one connected strategy
These labels overlap, so we sell them as one service, not three. Here's how each one shows up.
SEO
Focus
Search discovery, crawling, indexing and organic results.
What visibility can look like
A page appears in relevant search results.
AEO
Focus
Clear, direct answers to the questions people really ask.
What visibility can look like
Content is surfaced as an answer or an answer source.
GEO
Focus
Brand and content visibility in generative AI responses.
What visibility can look like
A page or brand is referenced or cited in an AI-generated answer.
SEO builds the foundation. AEO makes important information easier to understand and answer. GEO extends the plan to AI discovery and citations.
Our approach
Two ways to improve answer visibility
AEO
Answer clearly
We organise and refine your content so it answers the questions your audience asks. Clear explanations, useful headings, short answer summaries and well-supported detail help both people and search systems.
GEO
Become reference-worthy
We strengthen discoverability, factual clarity and authority so your information can be considered by generative AI search: technical access, original content, consistent brand details and credible third-party references.
Stronger AI search visibility
AEO and GEO are optimisation practices. They aren't guaranteed placements.
What we offer
A practical framework for AI search visibility
AI Search Readiness Audit
A review of your site's technical health, search visibility, content and brand information, to find what limits discovery or makes pages hard to interpret.
What's included
- Crawlability and indexability review
- Robots.txt, sitemap and canonical checks
- Important-page and internal-link review
- JavaScript-rendered content checks where relevant
- Mobile experience and page performance review
- Existing SEO and content baseline
- Initial AI search visibility and citation sampling
Answer-Led Content (AEO)
Important pages reshaped around the questions customers really ask, keeping depth, accuracy and a natural reading experience.
What's included
- Customer-question and search-intent research
- Clear definitions and direct answer summaries
- Descriptive headings and logical page structure
- Step-by-step explanations, comparisons and examples where useful
- FAQ content based on genuine customer questions
- Topic coverage and content-gap recommendations
- Editorial review for accuracy and clarity
Generative Search Content (GEO)
Original, useful content that shows what your business knows, and gives search systems verifiable facts about your services and expertise.
What's included
- Topic and entity mapping
- Service-page and supporting-content strategy
- Original insights, first-hand experience and case-study planning
- Clear product, service and company descriptions
- Evidence-backed claims and source references
- Content refresh and factual accuracy reviews
Technical Search & AI Crawler Readiness
Checks that important information can be reached and interpreted by relevant search crawlers, while respecting your content and privacy preferences.
What's included
- Search crawler access review
- Robots.txt and hosting or CDN firewall checks
- XML sitemap and canonical URL checks
- Server-rendered or crawlable primary content review

- Indexing diagnostics and change monitoring
Brand Authority & Consistency
A consistent, verifiable picture of your business across your website and the relevant third-party platforms.
What's included
- Business profile consistency review
- About, contact, team and service information review
- Author and subject-matter expertise presentation
- Relevant directory and industry profile audit
- Digital PR and legitimate editorial reference opportunities
- Review of public brand mentions and factual inconsistencies
We don't recommend fake reviews, paid link schemes, fabricated mentions or mass-produced profile spam.
Structured Data & Semantic Markup
Relevant structured data that describes the real entities and information on your pages, where it's supported and appropriate.
What's included
- Organization or LocalBusiness
- Service
- WebPage and BreadcrumbList
- Article or BlogPosting with accurate author details
- Product, where applicable
Markup must match the visible page and follow each platform's guidelines. It can help systems understand a page, but it doesn't guarantee an AI citation, and there is no special AEO or GEO schema.
Visibility Monitoring & Reporting
A repeatable way to check where your brand and pages appear in supported AI search, and how that changes over time.
What's included
- A baseline set of business-relevant questions
- Brand-mention and source-citation sampling on selected platforms
- Page-level citation review where platform data is available
- Google Search Console generative AI report review
- Bing Webmaster Tools AI Performance review, where available
- Referral traffic and conversion analysis where measurable
- Monthly findings, content opportunities and next actions
AI answers vary by question, place, language, model and time. Reports name the platform, date, question and method, so a one-off result is never presented as a ranking.

Measurement
How we measure AI visibility
AI search measurement is still developing, so we keep three things separate: traditional search, AI visibility and business results.
Traditional search
Clicks, impressions, queries and indexed pages
Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools
Google AI features
Impressions and pages shown in generative AI features
Search Console generative AI report, where available
Bing and Copilot
Citations, cited pages and trends
Bing Webmaster Tools AI Performance, where available
Other AI answer tools
Brand mentions, cited URLs and prompt coverage
Repeatable prompt sampling, recorded with date and platform
Business results
Referral visits, enquiries and conversions
Analytics and CRM, with attribution limits noted
How we report
- Brand mention observed in 4 of 30 tracked prompts in this month's sample.
- The page was cited on the recorded date, on the named platform.
What we won't say
- We rank #1 in AI search.
- Your business is now permanently recommended by an AI tool.
Working together
Scope, cost and ownership, stated plainly.
- We can't guarantee a mention, citation, ranking or lead volume in any AI platform. Each controls its own systems.
- Outcomes depend on your site, content, competition and the platform. We report what we can observe, with platform, date and method.
- We don't use fake reviews, paid link schemes or fabricated mentions.
- Pages, content pieces, platforms, questions, reporting rhythm and any tool costs are agreed in writing before we start.
Questions
AI Search Optimization (AEO & GEO): questions we get asked
What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?
SEO supports discovery in search engines. AEO makes useful information easy to understand and use in answer-style results. GEO focuses on visibility and references in generative AI answers. The three overlap, and strong SEO foundations still matter most.
Is GEO replacing SEO?
No. Search platforms still rely on crawling, indexing, quality and relevance. AEO and GEO extend how businesses think about discovery and answers. They don't remove the need for sound SEO.
Can you guarantee we'll appear in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews or Perplexity?
No. These platforms control their own retrieval, ranking and answer systems. We can improve technical access, content quality, clarity and brand evidence, then monitor what's visible. We can't guarantee a mention, citation, ranking or number of leads.
Do we need a new website for AEO and GEO?
Not necessarily. Many improvements can be made to an existing site. We review its technical condition, content and your goals first, then recommend only the changes that are justified.
Do we need an llms.txt file?
Not as a general requirement. Google's documentation says Google Search doesn't use llms.txt. Other systems may differ, but it shouldn't be sold as a ranking or citation shortcut. We assess it platform by platform.
Does FAQ schema make AI systems cite our website?
No. Structured data should accurately describe visible content and be used where it fits. It doesn't guarantee rich results, citations or answer placement. The quality of the content underneath still matters.
How long does AI search optimization take?
There is no universal timeline. Technical fixes are picked up when a search system revisits your site, while content and brand authority are ongoing work. We set a baseline and report progress over an agreed period, without promising a fixed date.
Which AI platforms do you monitor?
Scope can include Google's AI search features, ChatGPT Search, Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity. What can be measured differs by platform, so the proposal and reports name the platforms and the method used.
Is this suitable for local businesses?
Yes. An accurate name, address, phone number, hours, service areas, location pages and business profiles help customers and search systems understand a local business. Local visibility still depends on each platform's own rules.
