See how we work → Everything in your ai search optimization engagement.
Crawler & Index Access Review
We check that the AI crawlers and search indexes that feed these answers can actually reach your pages, and fix robots.txt, rendering, and sitemap problems that quietly lock you out.
Entity & Schema Clean-Up
One consistent business name, description, address, and set of profiles everywhere, backed by structured data that matches the visible page.
Answer-First Content
We restructure the pages that should win each question so the answer comes first and the supporting detail follows, written for people and extractable by machines.
Third-Party Citation Building
AI answers lean heavily on what other sites say about you. We pursue genuine directory, review, and editorial mentions rather than self-published ranking lists.

Buyers Are Asking AI First
A growing share of product and vendor research now starts with a question typed into ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Google's AI Overviews, and ends with a short list of names. If your business is on that list, you are in the running. If it is not, the buyer may never reach a page where you could have competed.
AI search optimization is how you get onto that list deliberately instead of by accident.
What Counts as AI Search
"AI search" is not one product. It is several systems that retrieve information differently:
- Google AI Overviews and AI Mode draw on Google's own index and ranking systems, so classic SEO quality still decides much of who is eligible.
- ChatGPT can search the web and cites the sources it used; it leans on search indexes and on pages that other sites link to and describe.
- Perplexity is citation-first and tends to reward clearly structured, recently updated pages.
- Gemini and Copilot sit on Google's and Microsoft's indexes respectively.
We cover the whole group under one program because the foundations are shared: pages that can be crawled, content that answers questions directly, and an entity that is described the same way everywhere.
Where We Start
Before changing anything we measure. We build a list of prompts a buyer in your category and city would plausibly ask, run them on each platform, and record which businesses are named, which are cited, and which sources the answers lean on. That baseline tells us whether your problem is access, clarity, content, or a lack of independent mentions.
You can see a lighter version of this yourself with our free on-page SEO checker, which flags a missing llms.txt, robots.txt problems, and noindex tags. To get the full prompt baseline, request a free audit.

AI Search Optimization, answered.
Still unsure? Ask us directly. You'll get a straight answer, not a sales call.
What is AI search optimization?
AI search optimization is the work of making your business easy for AI-driven search products to find, understand, and recommend. It combines generative engine optimization (earning citations and mentions inside generated answers) with answer engine optimization (structuring content so it can be extracted as the direct answer). Both sit on top of ordinary technical and content SEO.
Is this different from regular SEO?
It builds on it. Google has said that standard SEO fundamentals are what feed AI Overviews and AI Mode, so we do not treat AI search as a separate trick. What changes is the measurement (are you named in the answer, not just ranked in the list) and the content format (answer first, sources you can verify, consistent entity information).
Which AI platforms do you cover?
ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Perplexity, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. Each retrieves and cites sources a little differently, so we baseline them separately rather than assuming one result predicts the others.
Can you guarantee that ChatGPT will recommend my business?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. These systems are probabilistic, and answers vary between runs and users. We can improve the inputs you control and measure the output over time; we cannot promise a specific placement.
Do I need llms.txt?
It is cheap to publish and we have one on this site, but we do not sell it as a ranking lever. Google has said site owners can ignore it for AI features, and we have not seen evidence that major AI systems depend on it. The effort is better spent on crawler access, entity clarity, and genuinely useful pages.
