AI Search Optimization · GEO & AEO
AI Search Optimization That Gets You Recommended
Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews who to hire. Our AI search optimization services make sure those answers name your business, describe it accurately and send the click your way.
Ranking on page one is no longer the whole game.
AI assistants now answer the question before anyone scrolls to a list of links. If those answers cite your competitors, you lose the customer without ever knowing they were looking. Traditional SEO builds the foundation, but AI engines also weigh entities, mentions, reviews and how clearly your content answers real questions.
- AI Overviews push organic results further down the page
- ChatGPT and Perplexity recommend competitors by name
- Your services are described vaguely, or not at all, in AI answers
- No reporting on where AI search mentions or ignores you
Quick answer
What is AI search optimization?
AI search optimization services make your business the source AI assistants cite and recommend. Often called generative engine optimization (GEO), the work combines question-led content, structured data, consistent business facts, reviews and third-party mentions so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews understand, trust and name you.

AI Search Optimization: frequently asked questions
Do we still need SEO if we invest in AI search?
Yes. AI search optimization builds on SEO rather than replacing it. AI engines still rely on crawlable, well-ranked pages, but they also weigh entities, reviews, third-party mentions and how directly your content answers a question, so we work on both together.
Which AI platforms do you optimize for?
ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot. We test each one separately because they draw on different sources, then focus on the platforms your buyers use most.
How long does it take to show up in AI answers?
Fixes to structured data and business information can register within weeks. Earning consistent citations for competitive questions usually takes three to six months, depending on your market and starting point.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend us?
No one can honestly guarantee what an AI model will say. What we can do is show you where you appear today, what is holding you back, and how your citations, mentions and AI-referred leads change month by month.
Do you offer GEO services on their own?
Yes. If your SEO is already in good shape, we can run GEO services as a focused program: an AI visibility audit, answer-first page updates, entity and schema work, and citation tracking. Our generative engine optimization page covers that work in more detail.
