AI Search Optimization: SEO, AEO & GEO
Ranking #1 on Google doesn’t help if ChatGPT never mentions you.
SEO, AEO & GEO: we make sure you show up on Google — and when someone asks ChatGPT or Google’s AI Overview for the best agent, hotel, or clinic near them.

What we examine
What search & AI visibility actually covers.
Each area is reviewed in the same pass, so the findings can be weighed against one another rather than read in isolation.
Technical SEO & on-page optimization
Indexing, site structure, metadata and on-page signals — the groundwork ranking depends on before content can do anything at all.
Off-page SEO & link building
Authority built through relevant, earned links rather than bulk directory placements that carry no weight.
AEO — Answer Engine Optimization
Structuring content so assistants such as ChatGPT and Perplexity can extract and attribute it when someone asks your category’s question.
GEO — Generative Engine Optimization
Positioning your pages to be pulled into Google’s AI Overviews rather than buried underneath them.
Structured data & schema
Machine-readable markup that tells engines what your pages are, so they can be used as an answer.
Quotable, extraction-ready content
Content written in passages that can be lifted and cited cleanly, because that is how answer engines source material.
How it runs
The order the work happens in.
Each stage hands off to the next, so nothing begins before the decision it depends on.
Visibility baseline
We establish where you currently appear across classic search and AI answers — and where competitors appear in your place.
Technical clearance
Indexing and structural debt is cleared first, so the ranking work has something stable to build on.
Content & schema
Pages are restructured and marked up to be readable by people and extractable by engines at the same time.
Authority & monitoring
Earned links, plus ongoing tracking across both search results and answer engines.
What you receive
The things you actually walk away with.
The artifacts the engagement leaves behind, and what they add up to once they are running.
Technical fix list
Indexing and structural issues ordered by what blocks ranking most.
Schema implementation
Structured data deployed across the page types that matter.
Ongoing visibility reporting
Tracking that covers answer-engine inclusion, not only keyword position.
And what that gets you
- Visibility across classic search and AI answer engines
- Content structured to be quoted, not just indexed
- Technical SEO debt cleared before ranking has anything to work with
- A site AI Overviews and chat assistants can actually cite
Before you ask
The questions that come up first.
What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?
SEO (search engine optimization) earns a place in Google’s classic results. AEO (answer engine optimization) makes your pages easy for assistants such as ChatGPT and Perplexity to quote. GEO (generative engine optimization) aims at Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode. All three rest on the same groundwork: crawlable pages, clear answers, structured data, and a reputation other sites confirm. They differ in how each one picks a source.
How long before this shows results?
Search work compounds rather than switching on. Technical fixes, such as indexing or speed problems, usually register within weeks, once Google recrawls the pages. New pages, authority and answer-engine inclusion take longer, often several months for competitive terms. We report the leading indicators every month, including indexed pages, impressions and the new queries you appear for, so progress is visible before rankings move.
Can you guarantee a number one ranking?
No, and neither can anyone else. Google and the AI assistants do not sell organic placement, and their ranking systems change often. Google’s own guidance tells businesses to be wary of anyone who guarantees a top ranking. What we commit to is the work that makes ranking possible, and monthly reporting that shows what moved and what did not.
Does this replace paid ads?
No. Search visibility builds over months and keeps paying off after the work is done. Paid ads bring traffic the day they run and stop when the spend stops. Most businesses need both: ads to capture demand now and test which offers convert, and search to lower the cost of each lead over time. That is why they are separate pillars.
