AI SEO, AEO and GEO - what we do
- strengthening entity clarity (who you are, what you do, where you operate)
- restructuring key pages around real customer questions and decision points
- building stronger internal linking and topical coverage
- implementing structured data where it adds clarity
- measuring whether you are being cited for the queries that matter
AI search optimisation sits on top of strong SEO foundations – it does not replace technical SEO and content structure.
What is AI SEO?
AI SEO is the process of improving how clearly your business can be found, understood and referenced by search engines and AI-driven answer tools. It builds on traditional SEO, but puts more emphasis on clear answers, entity signals, structured content, internal links, third-party trust signals and content that directly addresses buyer questions.
AI SEO does not replace SEO. It depends on the same foundations: crawlable pages, useful content, technical health, clear page structure and trusted signals across the web.
AI SEO, GEO and AEO: how they work together
AI SEO, GEO and AEO are closely connected. Traditional SEO helps your pages get crawled, indexed and understood. AEO helps your content answer specific questions clearly. GEO focuses on how your business is represented in AI-generated answers. For most businesses, the best approach is not to treat these as separate tactics, but to improve the whole search visibility system.
Example prompts we might review
For a business that wants to improve AI visibility, we may test prompts such as:
The exact prompt set depends on your services, market and commercial priorities. We do not treat this as a fixed ranking report. AI answers can vary by platform, model, location, date, browsing mode, source freshness and wording, so we use prompts as a directional visibility sample.
Who this is for
AI search optimisation is most useful if:
- customers ask AI tools for recommendations in your category
- you sell complex services and need your expertise summarised accurately
- you rely on local intent or comparison-style searches
- you already have SEO in place and want to extend visibility into AI-driven results
What an AI visibility review includes
1. Prompt and query testing
We create a practical set of buyer-intent prompts based on your services, locations, sectors and customer questions. These may include recommendation prompts, comparison prompts, local prompts, supplier prompts, cost prompts and problem-solution prompts.
2. Visibility and source review
We check whether your business appears directly, indirectly or not at all in the reviewed sample. We also review which competitors, directories, guides, reviews and third-party sources appear more prominently.
3. Website clarity review
We review whether your key pages clearly explain who you are, what you do, where you work, who you help and why a buyer should trust you. This includes service pages, location pages, case studies, reviews, FAQs, guides and internal links.
4. Answer-led content recommendations
We identify where your pages need clearer answers to buyer questions. This may include improving existing service pages, adding answer-led sections, strengthening FAQs, linking to proof or creating comparison-led content.
5. Technical and structured data checks
We review whether technical SEO, crawlability, internal linking and structured data are supporting your visibility. Where schema is appropriate, we recommend or implement it in line with Google’s guidance.
6. Measurement and retained improvements
We create a repeatable prompt set and review process so visibility can be checked over time. Where data is available, we also review Search Console, Google Analytics, enquiry quality and supporting SEO performance.
What we improve on your website
We help UK businesses improve how they appear in AI-driven results by making content easier for assistants to interpret, trust and reference. That typically means:
AI search optimisation sits on top of strong SEO foundations – it does not replace technical SEO and content structure.
How we measure AI visibility
We track:
- whether your site is cited for priority queries
- whether answers represent your services accurately
- whether key pages are used as sources (service pages, guides, location pages)
- how visibility changes after improvements are published
Where appropriate, we also track:
- organic impressions and clicks for supporting queries
- conversion metrics (enquiry rate, qualified leads, sales journeys)
What AI SEO can and cannot do
AI SEO can improve the clarity, usefulness and authority signals that help AI-driven systems understand your business. It can also help you measure how your business appears across a reviewed set of prompts and sources.
AI SEO cannot guarantee a fixed position in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google’s AI Overviews. These systems change over time and results can vary by model, date, location, account history, browsing mode, source freshness and prompt wording.
How this links to our SEO services

Frequently asked questions...
Does AI search optimisation replace SEO?
No. It builds on SEO foundations. You still need strong technical health, content structure and indexing for AI systems to find and trust your pages.
How long does it take to see impact?
Some improvements can change how your pages are interpreted quickly once indexed, but consistent visibility usually improves over time as content and topical coverage strengthen.
Do we need new content?
Not always. Many gains come from restructuring key service pages, improving internal linking, and adding clear answer-led sections. New content helps when you need wider topical coverage.
Can you help us appear in local AI results?
Yes. Where relevant, we strengthen local signals, location clarity, and consistency between your website and local presence so AI tools can connect services to place.
What is the difference between AI SEO, GEO and AEO?
AI SEO is the broader approach to improving visibility across search and AI-driven discovery. GEO focuses on how businesses appear in generative AI answers. AEO focuses on clear answers to specific questions. In practice, the best approach combines all three with strong technical SEO, useful content and clear trust signals.
Can you guarantee that our business will appear in ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews?
No. No agency can guarantee fixed visibility in AI-generated answers. AI results vary by platform, date, location, browsing mode, source freshness and prompt wording. What we can do is improve the quality, clarity and trust signals that make your business easier to understand, reference and recommend.
What kind of businesses benefit most from AI SEO?
AI SEO is most useful for businesses where customers compare suppliers, ask for recommendations, research complex services or need trust before enquiring. It is especially relevant for local service businesses, professional services, ecommerce, B2B companies, charities and organisations with detailed service or sector expertise.
How often should AI visibility be reviewed?
A practical starting point is to review visibility quarterly, or after major website, content or search changes. For competitive sectors, monthly checks may be useful. The most important thing is to use a consistent prompt set so changes can be compared over time.
Is this just adding more content to our website?
No. Some improvements involve new content, but many come from restructuring existing pages, improving headings, adding clearer answers, strengthening internal links, clarifying proof and making service pages easier to understand.
