AI search optimization: help AI assistants name your company
More buyers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews for a shortlist before they visit a single site. As an AI SEO agency, we make your company easy for these assistants to understand and recommend, as part of the same monthly plan that runs your SEO.
Where AI answers leave you out
Your site says it in a slogan, a PDF or not at all, so an AI answer has nothing clear to quote.
A different name, address or service list on your site, Google Business Profile and directories makes you a weaker source.
Buyers ask about lead times, prices and coverage. If your site doesn’t answer, the assistant is more likely to quote a competitor who does.
You don’t know which assistants name you, for which questions, or who they name instead.
AI SEO and GEO: how they relate to traditional SEO
GEO, or generative engine optimization, also called AI SEO, AI search optimization or answer engine optimization (AEO), is the work of making your company easy for AI assistants to find, understand and cite. It rests on the same foundations as SEO: a fast, crawlable site, clear pages, structured data and a consistent presence across the web. So we don’t sell it apart from SEO. Every SEO plan covers both.
Our AI SEO services
Our generative engine optimization services cover seven things:
An AI visibility check: what AI says about you
We run representative prompts, the questions your buyers are likely to ask, on assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, and record who gets named and which sources get cited. It’s a sample, not a scan of every question.
Answer every question a buyer asks
Pages for each service and capability, with commercial answers: what you do, for whom, where, how fast and, when you can share them, starting prices.
Add structured data
Schema markup for your company, services, locations and FAQs, so AI systems and search engines read your facts correctly.
Make your facts the same everywhere
One name, address, phone and description across your site, Google Business Profile, Bing, Apple Maps and the directories and profiles AI assistants read.
Keep the site technically open
Technical SEO: fast pages, clean indexing, AI crawlers allowed, and an llms.txt file where it helps. It’s a convenience for assistants, not a ranking factor.
Local SEO and your Google Business Profile
For a local or regional business, this is often where AI answers start.
Measure AI visibility
A baseline on Essentials, monthly monitoring on Growth: which assistants name you and for what, visits from AI tools in your analytics, and the calls and forms they lead to.
What we’ve seen
A Leander embroidery studio we built and run search for got its first inquiries from AI search within days of launch. Read the case
When we asked ChatGPT for a website and marketing agency for manufacturers in Central Texas, Uwindi came up; for Texas as a whole, it didn’t. We wrote up what that taught us
Visits from AI assistants to uwindi.com grew 75% in the last two months (Rybbit analytics, September–October vs July–August 2026).
Plans
AI search optimization is part of every SEO plan:
SEO Essentials
AI-search readiness and a baseline check on representative prompts, alongside one SEO sprint a month on your priority pages.
SEO Growth
Ongoing monitoring across selected AI platforms and prompts, with recommendations, up to two sprints a month and a content roadmap.
Custom SEO
A custom GEO program: monitoring, content and authority work across several markets or a complex site.
Plans start with three months, then month to month with 30 days’ notice. They run on a site we look after on a Website Care plan. Content writing, new pages and paid placements are separate. Full plan details
You ask,
we answer
- What’s the difference between SEO and GEO?
SEO earns your place in Google’s results; GEO earns your place in AI answers. Most of the work is shared: a clear, fast site, pages that answer buyers’ questions, structured data and consistent facts across the web. GEO adds checking what AI assistants actually say about you and filling the gaps.
- Can you guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend us?
No. Nobody can. AI answers change with the question, the platform and the day. We give assistants clear, consistent facts to work with and show you which ones name you and for what: once as a baseline on Essentials, every month on Growth.
- Which AI platforms do you check?
The ones your buyers use: usually ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews, plus Perplexity or Gemini when they matter in your market. Growth adds ongoing monitoring.
- Is GEO a separate service?
No. It’s part of every SEO plan, because the same work moves both. You don’t pay twice for one site.
- How long does it take?
Assistants pick up changes on their own schedule. Some answers move within weeks; others follow your search visibility over months. Our checks show what changed.
- How do I choose an AI SEO agency?
Ask four things. Which questions and platforms will they check, and will they show you the actual answers? Do they work on your site itself, or only send recommendations? How do they measure visits and leads from AI tools? And do they promise a place in ChatGPT? If they do, that’s a red flag.
- How much do AI SEO services cost?
With us, AI SEO is part of the SEO plans, from $750 a month. There’s no separate fee for GEO, because the same work on your site moves both Google rankings and AI answers.
- Do I need an llms.txt file?
It doesn’t hurt, and we add one when it helps assistants find your key pages. It isn’t a ranking factor, and on its own it changes little.
