SEO, Generative Engine Optimisation and Answer Engine Optimisation
The labels are new, but they describe related goals. Good AI SEO services cover all three.
Search engine optimisation
Earning rankings and clicks in traditional search results, including the map pack and rich results.
Generative engine optimisation
Making your brand and pages likely sources for AI-written answers in tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Mode.
Answer engine optimisation
Structuring content so it gives clear, quotable answers to specific questions, for AI summaries, featured snippets and voice assistants.
Google AI Overview Optimisation Starts With Solid SEO
Google states there are no extra technical requirements to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode. A page needs to be indexed and eligible to show with a snippet, and the usual SEO best practices apply. Google also says no special AI text files or schema are needed.
That is good news for businesses that invest properly in SEO. It also means shortcuts sold as “AI SEO hacks” rarely hold up. What helps is crawlable pages, important content in text rather than images, structured data that matches the page, current Business Profile details and content that answers questions clearly.
How We Build Brand Visibility in AI Search
Entity SEO and brand clarity
We make sure every source agrees on who you are, what you do and where: your website, Google Business Profile, Companies House, LinkedIn, directories and Wikidata where appropriate. AI tools are more confident citing a brand with a consistent identity.
Answer-first content
Key pages open with a direct answer, then add detail, data and examples. Clear headings and short, self-contained paragraphs are easier for language models to quote accurately.
Mentions on trusted sites
AI answers lean on reviews, comparison articles, forums and press coverage. Digital PR and reputation work put your brand in the places these tools read.
Technical access
We check that search and AI crawlers can reach your pages, that key text is not hidden behind scripts and that robots rules match your choices about AI training and search.
ChatGPT Optimisation, Perplexity SEO and Copilot Visibility
Each AI platform finds information differently. Our work reflects where each one draws its answers from.
| Platform | Where answers come from | What helps you appear |
|---|---|---|
| Google AI Overviews and AI Mode | Google’s own index and ranking systems | Strong organic rankings, helpful content, accurate Business Profile |
| ChatGPT search | Web search results plus the model’s training data | Bing indexing, brand mentions on trusted sites, clear answers |
| Perplexity | Live web search with visible citations | Fresh, well-sourced pages and specific facts it can cite |
| Microsoft Copilot | Bing search index | Bing Webmaster Tools set-up, IndexNow, solid technical SEO |
How We Measure AI Search Visibility
- Prompt tracking: a fixed set of buyer questions checked monthly across the main AI tools, recording whether and how your brand appears.
- AI referral traffic: visits from chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai and copilot.microsoft.com separated in Google Analytics 4.
- Search Console data: Google includes AI Overviews and AI Mode clicks in the standard Web performance report, which we track alongside rankings.
- Brand mentions: new citations, reviews and press coverage that feed AI answers.
Questions About AI Search Optimisation
What is an AI SEO specialist?
An AI SEO specialist helps businesses appear in answers from AI-powered search tools such as Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT search, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot. The work combines traditional SEO with entity clarity, answer-focused content and building mentions on the sites these tools rely on.
How do I get my business cited in ChatGPT?
Make sure your site is indexed by Bing as well as Google, publish clear pages that answer the questions buyers ask, keep your business details consistent everywhere and earn mentions in reviews, comparison articles and press coverage. ChatGPT search pulls from web results, so the brands that are well represented across trusted sources are the ones it tends to recommend.
Is generative engine optimisation different from SEO?
It builds on SEO rather than replacing it. GEO adds attention to how your brand is described across the web, how quotable your content is and how AI tools summarise your category. The foundations, such as crawlable pages, helpful content and authority, are the same.
Do I need an llms.txt file or special AI schema?
Google says no new machine-readable files or special schema are needed to appear in its AI features. Standard structured data that matches your visible content is still useful. We focus effort on changes that have a clear effect rather than files with no proven benefit.
Can AI search visibility be tracked?
Partly. Referral visits from AI tools show up in analytics, and Google AI feature clicks are included in Search Console’s Web report. Mentions inside AI answers are tracked by testing a consistent set of prompts each month, which shows direction even though answers vary between sessions.
