The starting point

Useful visibility starts with a useful website.

Your next customer might ask an AI assistant to compare suppliers before visiting a single website. We help you understand whether your business appears, what the answer says about you and which sources it draws on. Then we work on the pages, technical access and external coverage that support a more useful, accurate presence.

Technical SEO, content improvements and the wider SEO campaign stay connected.

Four platforms. Different details to check.

01 / The approach

GEO, AEO and what the work actually involves

Generative engine optimisation (GEO) focuses on how your business and content appear in AI-generated answers. Answer engine optimisation (AEO) is a related term used for helping information surface in direct answers, including AI search. The terminology overlaps; we agree the platforms, audience and outcomes before choosing the work.

Our GEO and AEO work covers visibility reviews, technical access, content improvements, relevant outreach and measurement. You can start with a focused review or include implementation in an ongoing SEO campaign. The proposal sets out the pages, platforms, deliverables and review schedule.

02 / The approach

Know the difference between a mention and a citation

A brand mention is an answer naming your business, whether or not it includes a link. A citation is a reference to a source supporting the answer. An assistant might cite your guide without mentioning your company, or mention your company while citing someone else’s review.

We record both. We also check whether the description of your business is accurate and whether it appears as a potential supplier or simply as background information. This helps us distinguish relevant discovery from an appearance that has little connection to a buying decision.

03 / The approach

Find the questions and sources that matter

We agree a set of buyer questions using customer conversations, search data and your commercial priorities. Research questions, supplier comparisons and questions that already name your brand are reviewed separately. We sample relevant answers and record the prompt, platform, date, market and available context.

You receive a baseline showing observed mentions, cited URLs, competing businesses and gaps in the information available about you. That becomes a prioritised plan for existing pages, missing content and external sources to investigate. A prompt sample shows what we observed; it is not a measure of every answer a platform generates.

04 / The approach

Make your expertise useful as a source

We work with your team to improve product and service information, comparisons, practical guides and original evidence. Clear authorship, specific examples, accurate claims and useful explanations give a reader something they can evaluate and refer to.

For example, a cybersecurity provider answering “How do I choose a managed detection and response service?” could explain coverage, escalation, integrations and what is excluded. We would map those questions to a service page and a practical evaluation guide, with review by a subject expert. This is an illustrative approach, not a client result or a promise of citation.

05 / The approach

Check that the right pages can be found

We review crawl access, indexation, rendering, internal links and preview controls on priority pages. Search access and permission to use content for model training are different settings on some platforms, so recommendations follow the relevant documentation and your publishing preferences.

For Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, established SEO practices still apply. There is no special AI schema or llms.txt requirement. Access is a foundation; it does not guarantee that a page will be selected as a source.

06 / The approach

Build an accurate picture beyond your website

Buyers also learn about you through industry publications, partner websites, relevant directories and independent reviews. We review important sources for missing or inaccurate business information and identify opportunities to contribute useful expertise or original work.

Where outreach is in scope, we develop relevant pitches and assets with you. Publishers decide what to cover and platforms decide what to cite. We report the coverage earned and any subsequent observations separately, rather than treating every new mention as proof of an AI visibility gain.

07 / The approach

Measure visibility and what happens after it

Reporting separates brand mentions, citations to your website, citations to third-party sources about you, and referred visits. Each check retains its prompt and context so changes can be reviewed. If we report a mention rate, we show the number of sampled answers and how often we repeated the checks.

Where analytics and your sales process allow, we follow referred visits through to enquiries or sales. Google includes traffic from its AI search features in Search Console’s Web reporting, so that report does not provide a separate AI Overview citation count. We explain attribution gaps and review these observations alongside your wider organic performance.

How Google reports AI feature traffic

The business question

What happens after someone finds you?

That question keeps the work grounded. We agree which pages, customers and outcomes matter, then review what changed and what deserves attention next.

A useful citation is worth understanding. So is a page that brings the right enquiry.

Common questions

What you can expect.

Do we need separate GEO and AEO campaigns?

Usually the work overlaps substantially. We use one plan for the buyer questions, platforms and pages that matter to you. GEO and AEO are explained within the same service so you can assess the scope without buying duplicate work.

Which AI platforms do you cover?

We agree the relevant platforms with you. Reviews can cover ChatGPT search, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini and Perplexity. Their answers and source choices differ, so we keep observations separate by platform.

Can you guarantee AI citations or brand mentions?

No. Platforms select their own sources and answers vary with the question and context. We can improve access, content and supporting information, pursue relevant coverage and track what changes. We do not promise a fixed number of citations or a guaranteed timeline.

How much do GEO and AEO services cost?

We quote after agreeing the markets, platforms, pages and implementation involved. A focused visibility review has a different scope from ongoing technical work, content and outreach. Your proposal explains what you receive and the cost before work starts.

Does GEO replace SEO?

It sits alongside it. Technical access, useful pages and credible information support both traditional search and AI-assisted discovery. We coordinate the work so an AI visibility project also improves the website your customers use.

Can you show us proven AI visibility results?

Our published case studies report organic search outcomes; they should not be read as evidence of AI citations or mentions. For this work, we establish a documented baseline for your business and report subsequent observations with their dates and context.
