AI SEO Services

Get found in AI search not just Google.

More and more people skip the search results and just ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google’s AI for the best option. If those tools never bring up your business, you’re invisible to the fastest-growing way people search. Let’s change that.

The way people search is changing

Search moved. Most businesses haven't.

For twenty years, getting found meant ranking on Google’s blue links. That’s not the whole game anymore. Now a customer asks ChatGPT for a recommendation, reads Google’s AI Overview at the top of the page, or gets a straight answer from Perplexity, often without clicking a single website. Whichever business the AI names is the one that earns the trust, and the customer.

That’s a threat and an opportunity at the same time. A threat, because if AI doesn’t know your business, it points people to a competitor and you never enter the conversation. An opportunity, because almost no local businesses have done a thing about this yet. The door is wide open right now, and AI SEO is how you walk through it, before your competitors even realize the rules changed.

The new acronyms, explained

AI SEO, AEO and GEO, in plain English.

The sayings are new, but the idea is simple: help AI understand and recommend your business. Here’s what each one actually means.

AI SEO

The umbrella term. Everything you do to help AI tools find, understand, and recommend your business, wherever they show up.

AEO

Answer Engine Optimization. Shaping your content so it becomes the answer an AI gives, instead of a link nobody clicks.

GEO

Generative Engine Optimization. Getting tools like ChatGPT and Gemini to name your business when they write their answers.

Become the source AI trusts

How AI decides who to recommend.

AI doesn’t pull names out of thin air. It leans on the sources it understands best and trusts most: clearly structured content, consistent info across the web, real authority, and businesses that actually answer the questions people ask. We build every one of those signals, so when AI answers a question in your field, you’re the name it gives.

Sound familiar?

Signs you're invisible to AI.

If you’ve never optimized for AI search, chances are all three of these are already happening to you.

AI never brings you up

Ask ChatGPT or Perplexity for the best option nearby and your competitors show up. You don't even get a mention.

AI Overviews eat your clicks

Google answers a lot of searches right at the top now. If you're not the source it cites, that traffic never reaches you.

Competitors got there first

The businesses that prepared early are already being named as the answer, earning trust with buyers before you're even in the running.

Show up everywhere people ask

One strategy, every AI engine.

Your customers aren’t all using the same tool. Some live in ChatGPT, some trust Perplexity, some never scroll past Google’s AI Overview. We optimize for how each of them picks and cites its sources, so you show up no matter where the question gets asked.

How we get you cited

What actually goes into AI SEO.

AI visibility isn’t one trick. It’s a handful of signals working together. Here’s what we build.

🖌️

AI-Ready Content

Content written the way AI reads it: clear questions, direct answers, and phrasing the tools can quote word for word.

🔐

Structured Data & Schema

The behind-the-scenes markup that tells AI exactly who you are, what you do, and who you serve.

🌟

Entity & Authority Building

We make your business a recognized entity AI understands and trusts, not just a name on a page.

🔧

Technical & llms.txt Setup

The technical signals, including an llms.txt file, that point AI crawlers straight to your best content.

📰

Digital PR & Citations

We earn the mentions and references across the web that AI reads as proof you're the real deal.

📊

AI Visibility Tracking

We watch where and how often AI names you, so you can see progress instead of guessing.

Start with a visibility audit

Purchase an AI Visiblity Audit.

Before we touch anything, we check how the major AI tools see you today. Do they know you exist? Do they recommend you, or the competitor down the street? What are they getting wrong about you? That audit is where the plan comes from, so every move is aimed at a real gap instead of a guess.

From there you get a clear, prioritized roadmap and a team that runs it. Want a one-time audit and plan? Great. Want us to manage it as the AI landscape keeps shifting? Even better. Either way, you’re working with people who actually keep up with how search is changing.

First, we find out where you actually stand.

With our audit you will be able to determine:

Where you show up (and where you’re invisible) across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and the other tools people ask before they buy
What’s keeping AI from quoting you: missing schema, unclear content, no llms.txt, or thin authority signals
Which pages and questions to prioritize first, with the exact content and markup changes to start getting named in AI answers

This is a one-time deep-dive into how AI sees your business, delivered as a clear action plan you own.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is AI SEO?

AI SEO is how you optimize your online presence so AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews can find, understand, and recommend your business. Instead of only ranking on Google's links, the goal is to be the answer the AI actually gives.

What's the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?

Traditional SEO is about ranking in the results. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is about becoming the direct answer to a question. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is about getting cited when generative tools write their answers. AI SEO is the umbrella over all of it.

Can you actually get my business mentioned by ChatGPT or Perplexity?

We can move the odds in your favor in a real way. AI recommends businesses it understands and trusts, and those are exactly the signals we build. Nobody controls what AI says, but the businesses that prepare are the ones that get named.

Is AI SEO different from regular SEO? Do I still need both?

They overlap, but they're not the same, and yes, you want both. Strong traditional SEO is part of the foundation AI trusts, and AI SEO adds the extra signals that get you cited in AI answers. Together they cover how people search now.

How do you measure AI SEO results?

We track whether and how often the major AI tools mention your business for the questions that matter to you, right alongside your normal traffic and leads. You get plain-English reporting, not a black box.

How long until I show up in AI answers?

It varies. Some wins show up in weeks as AI re-reads your updated site, while authority builds over a few months. And because so few businesses have started, moving early is a genuine advantage.
