An AI answer is only as good as what it can find out about you.

Ask an AI assistant to recommend an accountant in York and it does not consult a secret database. It draws on what is published: business websites, listings, reviews, articles and directories. If those sources are thin, contradictory or silent about you, you are not in the answer.

That makes this less mysterious than it sounds. The businesses that appear tend to be the ones with clear descriptions of what they do and where, the same details everywhere, real reviews and other sites that mention them. Most of it is good SEO, done thoroughly, with a few specifics on top.

  • Your business described the same way everywhere
  • Questions customers ask, answered on your site
  • Reviews and mentions on sources AI systems read
  • Checked regularly, because answers change

What is included

What AI search optimisation involves.

Sometimes called GEO or AEO. The work is the same.

01

AI visibility check

We ask the main assistants the questions your customers would, and record what they say about you and your competitors.

02

Clear business facts

Who you are, what you do, where and for whom, stated plainly on your site and matched across your profiles.

03

Structured data

Business, service, product and FAQ markup that removes ambiguity for machines.

04

Answer-ready content

Pages that answer real questions directly, with specifics an assistant can quote.

05

Reviews and mentions

Genuine reviews and coverage on the third-party sites these systems draw on.

06

Consistent listings

One version of your name, address and services everywhere. See citation building.

07

Crawler access

A deliberate decision about which AI crawlers may read your site, rather than an accident.

08

Monitoring

Regular checks of how you are described, and of visits arriving from AI assistants.

How it works

Four steps, repeated.

  1. Ask

    We put your customers’ questions to the main assistants and record the answers.

  2. Compare

    We look at who is named, what sources are cited and where you are missing.

  3. Fix

    Content, structured data, listings and reviews are improved where they fall short.

  4. Re-check

    We ask again, because the answers and the systems keep moving.

An honest note. This is a young field and the systems change month to month. Nobody can promise that an AI assistant will recommend your business, and anyone who does is guessing. What we can do is remove the reasons it would not.

Questions

AI search optimisation: straight answers.

Something we have not covered? Ask us directly, a person will answer.

What are GEO and AEO?

Generative engine optimisation and answer engine optimisation: two names for making your business easy for AI systems to understand and cite. They overlap heavily with good SEO.

Is AI search replacing Google?

People now use both, and Google itself shows AI-written answers. Local and buying searches still mostly end with someone choosing a business from a map or a list, so the foundations matter as much as ever.

Can you guarantee we appear in ChatGPT or AI Overviews?

No. Nobody controls those answers. We can make your business clear, consistent and well evidenced, which is what gives you the best chance.

Do we need a separate AI strategy?

Rarely. Most of it is your existing SEO done properly, plus attention to how you are described on other sites. We fold it into the same plan.

Should we block AI crawlers?

It is a trade-off between protecting your content and being visible in AI answers. We explain the options and you decide.
