What does AI search say about you?

AI SEO, GEO and AEO for your business

AI SEO is the work of making a business citable by AI search and assistants — ChatGPT, Google’s AI overviews, Perplexity — rather than only ranking in a list of links. Generative engine optimization and answer engine optimization are the same job under the names people actually type. We will not promise a placement. We will make pages worth quoting.

Example business · Answers on its own page

Three names, one engagement

Customers ask an assistant before they open a list of links. The assistant answers in a paragraph that quotes somebody. The work is making your business the somebody: answering the real questions in full sentences, under a name, with the same facts everywhere.

We still do conventional SEO. Most searches still return a results page. AI SEO is an additional surface, not a replacement, and nobody controls what a model says afterwards.

A customer’s question, asked in ChatGPT. Example.

Questions answered where they are asked

The unit an AI search engine quotes is a passage, not a page. So every page gets the questions its readers actually ask, answered in complete sentences that still make sense lifted out and read aloud with no context.

  • A question inventory

    What customers actually ask, gathered from what they ask you.

  • A page for every answer

    Each question placed on the page that should answer it.

  • Buried answers rewritten

    So the answer comes first, not in paragraph four.

Question inventory · Example business

Somebody’s name on it

A system deciding whether to repeat a claim is reading for who stands behind it. Named authors with stated roles, marked up as people rather than as strings.

  • Named authors

    A real person on every piece, with the role they hold.

  • Author profiles

    A short page for each person who writes for you.

  • Marked up as people

    So the byline is a person to a machine, not a line of text.

Article with a named author · Example business

Telling machines what a page is

FAQ, Article, Person, and LocalBusiness markup that matches what is visible on the page. Structured data that disagrees with the page is worse than none.

  • FAQ, Article, Person, LocalBusiness

    The markup that says what each page is and who wrote it.

  • Matches the page

    Every answer in the markup is also on the page, word for word.

  • Nothing for crawlers only

    No claim made to a machine that a reader can’t see.

Page text and its markup · Example business

The same facts everywhere

One address, one phone number, one service list, one price band, stated identically across the site and the listings. Contradictions are the fastest way to become the source a model declines to use.

  • A consistency audit

    Your facts, checked on the site and every listing.

  • Listings corrected

    Fixed to match the site, where they’re listed.

  • One version of you

    The same hours, services and prices, everywhere.

Four stages, none of them a promise

Every stage below is something this team does. None of them is something a model is obliged to do back. The same stages live on the AEO page, because it is the same engagement.

  1. Find what people actually ask

    The real questions customers put to an assistant about a business like yours, gathered from what they ask you and what the category is asked.

    What lands

    • A question inventory
    • Which pages should answer which
  2. Write the answers

    Each question answered in complete sentences that still make sense lifted out of the page and read aloud with nothing around them.

    What lands

    • Answer passages, written
    • Rewrites where a page buried its answer
  3. Say who is answering

    Named authors with stated roles, plus FAQ, Article and LocalBusiness markup that matches what is visible on the page.

    What lands

    • Author profiles
    • Structured data that agrees with the page
  4. Keep the facts identical

    One address, one phone number, one service list, one price band, stated the same way everywhere.

    What lands

    • A consistency audit
    • Listings corrected to match the site

Let’s see whether your pages are quotable.

We will read the site the way an assistant does and tell you what we find.

Questions we get

What is AI SEO?

AI SEO is the work of making a business citable by AI search and assistants — ChatGPT, Google’s AI overviews, Perplexity — rather than only ranking in a list of links. The unit is a passage that answers a question, not a page that targets a keyword.

What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?

Generative engine optimization is another name for the same work: writing pages an AI search engine can quote without distorting them. We use the words people actually type — AI SEO, GEO, and AEO — for one engagement, not three products.

How is AI SEO different from AEO?

It is not a different product. AEO names the surface (answer engines). GEO names the systems that generate the answer. AI SEO is the phrase owners search. The work is the same: answer real questions, mark up who is answering, and keep the facts identical everywhere.

Can you guarantee my business will appear in AI answers?

No. No one controls what a model returns, the systems change without notice, and any agency promising placement is describing something it cannot deliver. What can be done is make a site genuinely citable.

How much does AI SEO cost?

Most small businesses invest $1,500–$5,000 per month for ongoing work. Individual projects are quoted per engagement, and every engagement starts with a free consultation.

Do I still need regular SEO?

Yes. Most searches still return a conventional results page, and the technical and content groundwork underneath both is largely the same work. AI SEO is an additional surface, not a replacement. The regular search work lives on /seo.
