What changed

The answer is now the result.

Someone asks ChatGPT who the best roofer in Franklin is. Or Google shows an AI Overview at the top of the page. Either way, the person gets a short answer with a few names in it. Many of them never scroll to the links below.

AI tools build those answers from what they can find and trust about you across the web. Your website, your Google profile, review sites, directories, and articles that mention you. If those sources are thin or disagree with each other, the AI picks someone else.

Getting there is the work of AI search optimization. Some people call it ChatGPT SEO or LLM optimization. The goal is the same: make your business easy to understand, easy to trust, and easy to quote.

The shift

Why AI visibility matters for clicks.

When an AI Overview shows, far fewer people click a result. Being cited inside that answer is how you stay in front of the buyer.

Two halves

AEO and GEO, explained simply.

People use different names for this work. Here is what each one means and how we run them together.

AEO

Answer engine optimization

Getting your page picked as the answer inside Google: AI Overviews, featured snippets, and People Also Ask. It depends on ranking well and answering clearly. See our AEO services.

GEO

Generative engine optimization

Getting your business named by AI chat tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and Perplexity. It depends on consistent facts about you across many sources. See our GEO services.

What we do

What the work includes.

01

Answer first pages

Each key page opens with a short, direct answer, then the detail. Easy for people to read and easy for AI to quote.

02

Schema that matches

Structured data that says exactly what the page says. Business, service, FAQ, and review markup done properly.

03

One story everywhere

The same name, description, services, and details on your site, your Google profile, and major directories.

04

Reviews and mentions

More recent reviews on the sites AI tools read, and real mentions in local and industry sources.

05

Question coverage

Pages and FAQs for the real questions buyers ask before they choose someone like you.

06

Mention tracking

Each month we test your main questions in the major AI tools and record who gets named.

What feeds the answer

AI answers run on a chain of signals.

There is no single switch for AI visibility. It is a chain. A site that can be crawled, pages that answer clearly, schema that matches, facts that agree across the web, and reviews and mentions that back it all up.

Most businesses are strong in one or two links and weak in the rest. We find the weak links and fix them in order.

Who should care about AI search right now.

B2B

Companies with long sales cycles

Buyers research suppliers in AI tools before they ever fill out a form.

$$$

Big ticket local services

Roofers, remodelers, lawyers, and medical practices where people compare carefully.

Shop

Online stores

AI shopping answers now recommend products and brands by name.

Visit

Restaurants and venues

Visitors ask AI where to eat and what to do near Broadway or in The Gulch.

What AI tools read

Where AI tools get their facts about you.

AI tools do not have a special list of businesses. They read the same web you do. Your own site, your Google Business Profile, review sites like Yelp and the BBB, industry directories, local news, and lists of top companies in your field.

When those sources agree, the AI can say something confident about you. When they do not agree, or when there is very little written about you at all, the AI plays it safe and names someone else.

So the work is part website and part reputation. We make your own pages clear and well marked up, then make sure the rest of the web tells the same story. It is slow, steady work, and it also helps your regular Google rankings.

Myths

What AI search optimization is not.

x

A trick or a hack

There is no hidden setting that makes ChatGPT pick you. It reads the web, so the web has to say good, clear things about you.

x

A replacement for SEO

Google AI Overviews lean on pages that already rank. Without a solid base, AI visibility rarely sticks.

x

A one time project

AI answers shift as new sources appear. Mentions need tending, just like rankings.

x

Only for big brands

Local businesses get named all the time, when their profile, reviews, and site are clear and consistent.

Plain answers about a new kind of search.

Ask us anything
What is AI SEO?
It is the work of getting your business named when people ask AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews for a recommendation. It covers answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO).
What is the difference between AEO and GEO?
AEO focuses on answer features inside Google, like AI Overviews and featured snippets. GEO focuses on AI chat tools that write their own answers. Both depend on clear pages, matching schema, and consistent facts, so we run them as one plan.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?
No one can. AI answers change and no agency controls them. What we can do is fix the things these tools rely on and track your mentions every month, so you can see the trend.
Do I still need regular SEO?
Yes. Google AI Overviews mostly cite pages that already rank well. Regular SEO is the base that AI visibility is built on.
How much do AI SEO services cost?
AI visibility work is part of every plan we sell, starting at $399 a month. Larger sites and national markets cost more. Every price is on our pricing page.
How do you measure AI visibility?
We keep a list of the questions your buyers ask. Each month we ask them in the major AI tools and record whether you are named, who else is named, and which sources are cited.
