A comprehensive approach to ensuring your business is visible across every AI-powered search platform shaping the future of discovery.

Generative Enegine Optimisation

Generative Engine Optimisation

GEO is the new frontier of search marketing. As AI-powered search engines like Google Gemini, ChatGPT, and Perplexity generate direct answers instead of lists of links, your content needs to be structured, authoritative, and citation-worthy to be selected as a source.

Key strategies include:

  • Optimise content for AI citation and direct answers
  • Build entity authority across knowledge graphs
  • Implement structured data and schema markup
  • Content depth analysis and topical authority building
  • Monitor visibility across multiple AI search platforms

Google AI Overviews

Google AI Overviews

Google AI Overviews now dominate the top of search results for a growing percentage of queries. These AI-generated summaries pull information from trusted sources to deliver instant answers.

If your business isn’t being cited in these overviews, you’re losing visibility to competitors who are.

Key strategies include:

  • Audit your current presence in AI Overview results
  • Optimise content structure for AI selection
  • Implement E-E-A-T signals for increased trust
  • Target high-value queries triggering AI Overviews
  • Track and report on AI Overview appearances

ChatGPT Search

ChatGPT Search

With hundreds of millions of weekly users, ChatGPT has become a major search destination. Its integrated web search pulls real-time information to answer user queries.

Businesses that optimise for ChatGPT’s retrieval patterns gain access to a rapidly growing audience of high-intent searchers.

Key strategies include:

  • Optimise for ChatGPT’s web retrieval algorithms
  • Build brand mentions and online authority
  • Structure content in conversational Q&A formats
  • Ensure accurate business information across the web
  • Monitor brand appearances in ChatGPT responses

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AI Search Optimisation and how it can transform your online visibility.

AI Search Optimisation (AISO) is the practice of optimising your website and content to be surfaced by AI-powered search engines and assistants.

Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on ranking in blue links, AISO ensures your brand appears in AI-generated summaries, overviews, and conversational answers.

Traditional SEO focuses on keyword rankings and link building to appear in search results.

Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) goes further — ensuring your content is structured, authoritative, and contextually rich enough to be selected by AI models when generating answers.

GEO focuses on:

  • Entity relationships
  • Content depth
  • Citation-worthiness

Google AI Overviews are AI-generated summary panels that appear at the top of search results.

They pull information from multiple sources to provide direct answers.

For businesses, this means fewer clicks to traditional websites unless your content is the one being cited.

Optimising for AI Overviews is now critical to maintaining online visibility.

Yes. ChatGPT now includes real-time web search capabilities, drawing from indexed web content when users ask questions.

Businesses with:

  • Well-structured content
  • Authoritative sources
  • Clear entity data
  • Strong online presence

are more likely to be referenced in ChatGPT responses.

AI search optimisation is an ongoing strategy.

Initial improvements in content structure and technical optimisation can be implemented within weeks.

Consistent appearances in AI-generated results typically take 2–4 months, depending on:

  • Industry competition
  • Existing website authority
  • Quality of content

AI engines favour well-structured, factual content with:

  • Clear headings
  • Lists
  • Tables
  • Schema markup

The formats that perform best include:

  • Long-form authoritative articles
  • FAQ pages
