02 AI search · GEO

Be the one AI recommends.

People now ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI where to eat, who to hire and what to buy. They get one short answer, not ten blue links. We make sure that answer is you.

The short answer

What is AI search optimisation?

AI search optimisation, also called generative engine optimisation or GEO, is the work of making your business the one AI assistants name and cite in their answers. It combines answer-first content, complete structured data, a consistent business identity across the web, and genuine mentions from sources the AI already trusts.

It sits on top of good SEO. Google's AI Overviews lean heavily on pages that already rank, while assistants like ChatGPT weigh clarity, consistency and third-party trust.

Why now

One answer. Not ten links.

In a classic search, finishing fifth still got you a click. In an AI answer, there is usually a shortlist of two or three, and the rest are invisible.

Most businesses have not touched this yet, which is exactly why it is worth moving early. The brands AI tools learn to trust now are the ones they will keep recommending.

FAQ

AI search questions.

What is generative engine optimisation (GEO)?
Generative engine optimisation is the practice of making your business the one AI assistants recommend and cite when people ask questions. Where SEO aims to rank a link, GEO aims to be named in the answer itself, across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews.
Is AI search optimisation different from SEO?
It builds on SEO rather than replacing it. Google's AI Overviews mostly cite pages that already rank well, so strong SEO matters. AI assistants also weigh things classic SEO underplays: how clearly a page answers a question, whether your business details match across the web, and whether trusted third parties mention you.
How does ChatGPT decide which businesses to recommend?
When it searches the web, ChatGPT draws on search indexes (Bing's is a major one), then favours sources that answer the question clearly and appear trustworthy. Consistent business information, reviews, local guides and press mentions all help it decide you are a safe recommendation.
How do you measure AI search visibility?
We track a set of real questions your customers ask, run them across the major AI assistants on a schedule, and record whether you are mentioned, cited or linked, alongside traffic from AI referrers in GA4. It is reported monthly with your other channels.
How long does it take to show up in AI answers?
On-site fixes can be picked up within weeks once pages are re-crawled. Earning the third-party mentions that make AI tools confident in you takes longer, usually a few months of steady work. Anyone promising instant placement is guessing.
