In 2026, your customers don’t just search Google anymore. They ask ChatGPT. They ask Perplexity. They ask Gemini. They ask Claude. If you’re not cited in those answers, you don’t exist. We fix that.
GEO and AEO: what’s the difference?
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is about being included in AI-generated overviews — like Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT answers, Perplexity citations.
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is about being the literal source quoted by these engines. Higher bar. Bigger reward.
Our AI search playbook
1. Citability audit
We probe ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude with 20+ category-relevant questions and check whether your brand shows up. We benchmark against your top 5 competitors.
2. Structured Q&A rewrites
AI engines love content that’s structured as questions and answers, with clean H2/H3 hierarchy, short definitive paragraphs, and obvious entities. We rewrite your top pages in this format.
3. Schema completeness
Organization, Article, FAQ, HowTo, Product, Review, LocalBusiness — all the right schema, all the time. AI engines parse this directly.
4. Brand-mention seeding
AI engines are trained on the public web. If credible sources don’t mention you, AI won’t either. We get you mentioned in trade publications, expert roundups, podcasts, and forums.
5. Monthly citation report
You’ll see citation counts trending up across all four major AI engines, month over month, with the specific queries you’re winning for.
Why this matters more every quarter
Bain & Company project that 40-60% of search-driven discovery will run through AI engines within 24 months. ChatGPT alone passed 800 million weekly users in late 2025. Perplexity grew 4x year-over-year. If you don’t have a strategy here in 2026, you’ll spend 2027 trying to claw back share that’s already been allocated to your competitors.
What this means for your business
What makes our approach to AI Search SEO (GEO + AEO) different
Most agencies still sell 2018-era SEO. We don't. Our AI Search SEO (GEO + AEO) methodology blends technical SEO foundations, EEAT-rigorous content, real authority links, and AI-search optimisation (GEO + AEO). You get a senior strategist, live dashboards, monthly strategy calls, and transparent reporting. Engagements run a 90-day initial period, then month-to-month with 7 days' notice — no long lock-in.
Realistic 90-day outcomes
On a typical AI Search SEO (GEO + AEO) engagement, the first 30 days deliver a 100-point audit, a prioritised roadmap, and technical foundation fixes (CWV, schema, internal linking). Days 31-60 add a content production cadence, the first authority links from real publications, and AI-search optimisation passes. Days 61-90 aim for the first ranking movement and AI citations beginning to register, with a clear next-quarter strategy. Timelines vary by market and competition, and results are never guaranteed.
EEAT signals we build into every page
Every page we publish for AI Search SEO (GEO + AEO) campaigns aims for: clear authorship and human review, citations from primary sources (Google Search Central, Moz, Ahrefs, SEMrush, government publications), original research where applicable, structured Q&A formatting for AI-search citability, accurate schema markup (Article, FAQPage, Organization, BreadcrumbList), and transparent published + updated dates. This is the rigour Google's quality raters reward — and the rigour ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude reward with citations.
Why AI search optimisation matters now
AI search engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Google AI Overviews) are taking a growing share of search-driven discovery in most categories. Brands that start now build citation share their competitors will later have to claw back. Every AI Search SEO (GEO + AEO) engagement on our Growth tier and above includes GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) work — schema completeness, structured Q&A rewrites, primary-source citation language, and monthly probe tracking of the major AI engines.
