Why AI search matters

More people now ask an AI assistant for a recommendation instead of scrolling through search results. If the AI doesn’t know about your business, you aren’t in the answer.

  • Consistent details

    Name, address and phone identical on your website, Google, Bing and directories.

  • Directory listings

    Profiles on the directories and review sites AI tools read.

  • Reviews

    A steady flow of genuine Google reviews.

  • Schema markup

    Structured data that tells machines exactly who you are and what you offer.

  • Answer-first pages

    Pages that state your services, prices and areas clearly in the first few lines.

  • Monthly AI checks

    Test searches in ChatGPT and Perplexity to track whether you’re recommended.

AI search questions

What is AEO?

AEO stands for answer engine optimisation. It means getting your business cited in the answers AI tools give, such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews, rather than only ranking in a list of links. It’s another name for the AI search optimisation on this page.

How much does AI search optimisation cost?

It is included in ongoing SEO, which costs £200 a month.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?

No. Nobody controls what AI tools say. The work makes your business easier for them to find, understand and trust, which improves your chances.

How long does it take?

AI tools update what they know gradually, so expect changes over weeks to months rather than days.

Does this help on Google too?

Yes. Most of the same work – consistent details, reviews, schema and clear pages – also helps your Google rankings.
