What are AI SEO, GEO and AEO?
AI SEO means optimising your content and online presence so AI assistants and AI search features can understand your business and cite it in their answers. AEO focuses on being the direct answer; GEO focuses on being recommended by generative AI.
When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity for a recommendation, the AI builds one short answer and names only a few businesses. If you are not named, you do not exist for that customer.
Winning that mention is not luck. AI systems favour sources that give clear answers, that are described consistently across the web, and that other trusted sources reference. That is what AEO (answer engine optimisation) and GEO (generative engine optimisation) build.
It sits on top of traditional SEO, which still decides how well your site is crawled and ranked. We also connect it with content writing, link building and reputation management, because AI looks at all of them.
How AI tools decide who to recommend.
AI tools recommend businesses they can clearly identify, that give accurate answers to the question, and that are backed by trusted sources and real customer feedback.
No one outside the AI companies knows the exact formula, and it changes often. What we do know from how these systems read the web is that the same practical signals keep mattering:
- Direct, quotable answersShort, factual answers near the top of each page that an AI can lift without rewriting.
- A clear entityYour business name, services, location and founders described the same way on your site and profiles.
- Structured dataSchema markup for your organisation, services, FAQs and reviews, so machines read it exactly.
- Trusted third-party mentionsCoverage and listings on respected sites that confirm what you say about yourself.
- Genuine reviewsRecent, specific customer reviews that show real experience with your business.
- Crawl access and speedPages that load fast and are not blocked from AI crawlers by mistake.
Everything your business needs to show up in AI answers.

Common
questions.
What is AI SEO?
AI SEO is optimising your business so AI search tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can find, understand, trust and cite you. It combines AEO and GEO and builds on normal SEO.
What is the difference between AEO and GEO?
AEO (answer engine optimisation) makes your content the direct answer in featured snippets, voice search and AI answer boxes. GEO (generative engine optimisation) makes AI chat tools understand and recommend your brand. We treat them as one plan.
How do I get my business mentioned in ChatGPT?
There is no switch to flip. You improve the signals AI relies on: answer-first pages, consistent business details, structured data, genuine reviews and mentions on trusted sites. Our audit shows which of these you are missing.
Can you guarantee that ChatGPT or Gemini will recommend my business?
No, and be careful with anyone who does. AI tools change often and no one controls their answers. We guarantee honest work, clear monthly reporting and a plan based on how these tools actually behave.
Do I still need normal SEO?
Yes. Strong SEO helps AI tools find and trust your pages, and many AI answers draw on pages that already rank. See our SEO services.
How long does it take to show up in AI answers?
Some improvements, such as fixing business details and publishing clear answers, can show within weeks. Building authority and mentions takes longer, usually a few months. We re-test every month so you can see movement.
Does my business need to be on Google Business Profile for AI search?
It helps a great deal, especially for local queries. AI tools use Google profiles, reviews and directories to verify businesses. See our local SEO service.
How do you measure AI visibility?
We ask the major AI tools the same set of customer questions every month, record which businesses they name and link to, and compare it with your competitors. You receive a plain-language report with the changes.
