Get Your Business Recommended
by AI, Not Just Ranked by Google

AI SEO is the practice of optimizing a website so it earns visibility across both traditional search results and AI powered search experiences. It combines classic SEO work such as technical fixes, content and link building with newer work such as entity clarity, structured answers and citation building, so that Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot all understand and recommend your business.

Generative engine optimization is the process of getting your brand cited, named and recommended inside answers written by large language models. Unlike traditional SEO there is no ranking position to win. Instead the model decides which sources to trust and mention, so GEO focuses on building the signals that influence that decision, including third party mentions, reviews, consistent entity data and clearly written factual content.

Answer engine optimization is about structuring your content so it can be extracted directly as the answer to a question, in featured snippets, People Also Ask boxes, voice search and AI Overviews. The simplest distinction: AEO is mostly about how your content is written and structured on your own site, while GEO is mostly about the authority and consensus signals that make a model choose you over a competitor. Most campaigns need both.

No. It extends it. AI engines still draw heavily on well optimized, authoritative websites, so strong traditional SEO makes you far more likely to be cited in AI answers. The change is that ranking first no longer guarantees a citation. Analysis in early 2026 found the overlap between AI cited sources and the organic top ten had fallen to somewhere between 17 and 54 percent, which means citation is now a second, separate race you have to run.

We track and optimize for Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, Meta AI, Grok and Bing AI summaries. Not every platform matters equally for every business, so during the audit we identify which engines your specific audience actually uses and weight the strategy accordingly.

We measure four things every month: how often each AI engine names your business across your tracked prompt set, your share of voice against up to five competitors, which sources the models cite when answering, and the real traffic and leads arriving from AI platforms in GA4. Classic reporting continues alongside this, including keyword rankings, Search Console data and local pack positions.

Early movement in AI visibility often appears faster than classic SEO, typically within 60 to 90 days, because models re-crawl and update far more frequently than rankings shift. Meaningful, stable gains in competitive markets generally take four to six months, and authority signals such as reviews and third party mentions continue compounding well beyond that.

Pricing depends on how many prompts and engines we track, how competitive your market is, and how much content and authority work is required. Local single location businesses generally start lower than multi location or national campaigns. You can compare deliverables and pricing on our AI SEO packages page, or request a custom proposal.

Any business whose customers research before they buy. That includes local service businesses, professional services, healthcare, home services, ecommerce and B2B. It is especially urgent if you already invest in SEO, because an optimized site is far more likely to be cited by AI engines, and because early movers in a market tend to become the default recommendation that later entrants have to displace.

Yes, partly. Sessions referred from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Claude can be segmented in GA4, and we set that up at the start of every campaign. The important caveat is that a large share of AI influence never produces a click at all, because the user reads the answer and then searches for your brand directly or calls you. That is why we track citations and share of voice as well as referral sessions.
