Sound familiar?
Why your AI Search Optimization (AEO, GEO & LLMO) isn't working
AI answers name competitors
Ask ChatGPT for the best provider in your niche and your brand isn't mentioned.
Traffic down, rankings unchanged
AI Overviews answer the question before anyone clicks.
No way to measure it
You don't know how often AI assistants mention or cite you.
Content written only for keywords
Long pages that bury the answer, so AI can't quote them.

SEO first
AI assistants still lean heavily on pages that are crawlable, authoritative and rank well, so AEO builds on strong SEO rather than replacing it.

Questions
Straight answers
How do I get my business to show up in ChatGPT?
There's no form to submit. AI assistants recommend businesses they can find and trust across the web: a clear website that says what you do and where, a complete Google Business Profile, consistent details on directories, genuine reviews, and mentions on other reputable sites. Ranking well in normal search is still the strongest signal.
What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
Optimizing content so search engines and AI assistants can use it as the direct answer, in featured snippets, AI Overviews, voice assistants and chatbots.
What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
Improving how often generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Perplexity mention and cite your brand when they answer questions in your niche.
Is AI SEO different from regular SEO?
It builds on it. AI tools draw on well-ranked, well-structured, widely cited sources, so technical SEO, authority and clear content still come first.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend us?
No one can guarantee AI outputs. We improve the signals AI tools rely on and track your mentions and citations monthly.
Do you work with local businesses on AI search?
Yes, AI assistants increasingly answer 'best near me' questions, drawing on Google Business Profile, reviews and local citations.
