AI SEO services: get found inside the answer

AI SEO services optimise your brand to be cited in AI-generated answers — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google’s AI Overviews and Gemini — not only ranked in the classic ten blue links. As more people ask an assistant instead of searching, the win is being named in the answer. That depends on clear entity markup, answer-shaped content and consistent facts about you — things a newer site can influence quickly, long before it can out-rank an established competitor on Google.

Where to start

What AI SEO actually involves

Four things, in order. The first tells you where you stand; the rest close the gap.

In the audit and in GEO

AI visibility audit

Where you stand right now — what ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews actually say about you today, and why they cite a competitor instead of you.

In GEO

Entity & schema markup

The machine-readable facts an AI engine needs before it will name you to a stranger: who you are, what you sell, consistent across your site and the web.

In GEO

Answer-shaped content

Pages written the way an AI answer is written — a clear claim first, then the support — so a model can lift and cite them cleanly.

In GEO

Citation building

Getting your facts onto the third-party sources AI engines trust and quote, so your name appears in the answer, not just the footnotes.

AI SEO, answered honestly

What are AI SEO services?

AI SEO services optimise your brand to be found and cited inside AI-generated answers — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews and Gemini — rather than only ranked in the classic blue-link results. In practice that means clear entity and schema markup, answer-shaped content a model can quote, and consistent facts about you across the sources those engines trust. It is also called generative engine optimization (GEO) or answer engine optimization (AEO).

How is AI SEO different from normal SEO?

Classic SEO earns a ranking position a person clicks. AI SEO earns a mention inside an answer the person reads instead of clicking. The overlap is real — both reward clarity, authority and good structure — but AI engines lean far more on machine-readable facts and citable, well-structured content, and far less on the raw domain authority that takes years to build. That is why a newer site can win AI visibility long before it can outrank an established competitor on Google.

Can a new or small website get cited by AI?

Yes, and this is the honest reason we point new sites here first. Being cited by ChatGPT or Perplexity depends on things you can influence quickly — clear entity markup, citable pages, consistent facts about you across the web — rather than the years of domain authority a competitive Google ranking needs. It is one of the few areas where a small site can appear next to much larger ones.

How much do AI SEO services cost?

Both have fixed prices, shown above with what each includes. The AI Visibility Audit is a one-off that shows where you stand; generative engine optimization is the full piece of work. If you start with the audit and move to GEO within 60 days, what you paid for the audit is credited against it. There is no sales call to get a number.

Do you promise I'll be cited by ChatGPT?

No, and anyone who does is guessing. AI engines change what they cite, and nobody controls their output. What we commit to is the work that measurably improves your odds — the markup, the content structure and the citations — and an audit that shows your before-and-after standing. We would rather tell you that plainly than sell you a promise nobody can keep.

Going deeper: LLM optimization (how a model picks what to quote), ChatGPT SEO (one engine specifically), and answer engine optimization (every answer surface, not just AI).
