AI SEO services: visibility in AI search and answer engines
In short: AI SEO is the work of making your business easy for AI-powered search tools to understand, trust and cite. It combines generative engine optimisation (GEO) for tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity with answer engine optimisation (AEO) for direct answers and Google AI Overviews. It builds on solid SEO — it does not replace it.
Definitions
What are AI SEO, GEO and AEO?
These terms overlap, and agencies use them loosely. Here is how we use them:
- AI SEO — the umbrella term for improving how a business appears in AI-powered search experiences.
- Generative engine optimisation (GEO) — improving the likelihood that generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity accurately describe and cite your business when they compose answers.
- Answer engine optimisation (AEO) — structuring content so that it directly answers specific questions, making it suitable for featured snippets, voice assistants and AI Overviews.
All three depend on the same foundation as classic SEO: pages that can be crawled, content that is genuinely useful and specific, and a business identity that is consistent and verifiable across the web.
Comparison
How AI search optimisation differs from traditional SEO
| Traditional SEO | AI search optimisation | |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Rank a page and earn a click | Be cited, mentioned or accurately summarised in an answer |
| Unit of success | Position for a keyword | Presence and accuracy across many conversational prompts |
| Content style | Comprehensive pages targeting a query | Clear, self-contained answers and facts that can be quoted |
| Off-site signals | Backlinks | Backlinks plus brand mentions, reviews and listings across trusted sources |
| Measurement | Rankings, clicks, conversions | Prompt tracking, AI referral traffic, brand-accuracy checks, conversions |
Scope
What our AI SEO service includes
- AI visibility audit We test a defined set of prompts your buyers are likely to use across major AI tools and record whether, how and how accurately your business appears.
- Entity consistency Your name, services, locations, people and key facts aligned across your website, Google Business Profile, directories, LinkedIn and other sources.
- Answer-first content Key pages restructured with concise definitions, direct answers, question-led headings and clear summaries — without dumbing down the detail.
- Evidence and specificity Replacing vague claims with verifiable specifics: processes, credentials, real examples and data you can stand behind.
- Structured data Organization, Service, Person, FAQ and other schema connected by consistent identifiers and matched to visible content.
- Crawler access Reviewing robots.txt, firewall and CDN rules so the AI and search crawlers you want can actually reach your content.
- Mentions and citations Earning references on the industry publications, comparison pages and forums AI systems frequently draw on.
- Tracking Monthly prompt-visibility tracking and AI referral traffic segmented in GA4.
Being realistic
What AI SEO can and cannot do
AI answers vary by user, wording, location and even from one moment to the next. No agency controls them, and claims of “guaranteed ChatGPT rankings” should be treated with scepticism.
What is within your control is the quality and consistency of the information available about your business. When that information is clear, specific, well structured and corroborated by independent sources, AI tools are more likely to represent you accurately — and less likely to omit you or get details wrong.
We also review supplementary measures such as an llms.txt file. These can help some tools navigate your site, but they are not a substitute for good content and are not a confirmed ranking factor.

FAQ
Questions about ai seo (geo & aeo)
Can’t find your question? Ask us directly and we will answer it for your situation.
What is generative engine optimisation (GEO)?
Generative engine optimisation is the practice of improving how a business is represented in answers produced by generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity. It focuses on clear, verifiable information about the business, content that can be quoted accurately, and mentions on sources those tools rely on.
What is answer engine optimisation (AEO)?
Answer engine optimisation is the practice of structuring content to answer specific questions directly — with concise definitions, question-based headings and clear summaries — so that search engines, voice assistants and AI Overviews can use it as an answer.
Is AI SEO different from regular SEO?
It is an extension of it. AI search tools rely heavily on content that already ranks well and is crawlable and trustworthy, so strong SEO is the foundation. AI SEO adds a focus on entity consistency, quotable answers, third-party mentions and prompt-level measurement.
Can you get my business recommended by ChatGPT?
No one can guarantee that. AI answers change by user and context. What we can do is improve the quality, consistency and reach of information about your business so that AI tools have good reasons and good sources to include you — and track how that changes over time.
How do you measure AI search visibility?
We track a defined set of prompts across major AI tools each month, recording whether your business appears, how it is described and which sources are cited. We also segment referral traffic from AI tools in GA4 and track the enquiries it generates.
Should we block AI crawlers?
It depends on your goals. Blocking some crawlers can protect content from being used for model training, but it may also reduce your visibility in AI search products. We review your robots.txt and server rules with you and make a deliberate choice for each crawler.
Does an llms.txt file improve AI rankings?
There is no evidence that it is a ranking factor. It is a proposed convention that gives AI tools a plain-text summary of your site. We can add one as a low-effort supplement, but the real work is in your pages and your reputation.
