AI SEO Services That Get Your Business Found and Cited in AI Search

More customers now ask Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini who to hire before they click a single link. Our AI SEO service, also called generative engine optimisation (GEO) or answer engine optimisation (AEO), makes your business easy for those systems to find, understand, trust and recommend. It also strengthens the Google rankings they still draw on.

Search has a new front page

When someone asks an AI tool for "the best web developer in Adelaide" or "how much does a logo cost", they get one written answer that names a handful of businesses and cites a few sources. If you aren't one of them, you may never get a look-in, even with a page-one ranking.

AI SEO builds on traditional SEO; it doesn't replace it. AI search tools lean heavily on pages that are already crawlable, well structured and trusted. So we fix the foundations first, then shape your content and reputation so that AI answers can quote you accurately and recommend you with confidence.

Where AI SEO helps you show up

  • Google AI Overviews and AI Mode: the summaries now sitting above the usual results.
  • ChatGPT search: answers that cite and link to the businesses they mention.
  • Perplexity: research-style answers built entirely from cited sources.
  • Gemini and Microsoft Copilot: assistants built into phones, browsers and the office tools your customers use every day.
  • Classic Google search: everything here also helps the regular results and the map pack.
What's included

What our AI SEO service covers

Every engagement is scoped to your business, but the work falls into these six areas.

AI visibility audit

We run the questions your customers actually ask through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews. Then we record where you're mentioned, where you're cited, where you're missing, and who gets named instead.

Crawl access for AI search

We check robots.txt, firewall and CDN settings so the crawlers behind AI search can reach your pages: Googlebot, Bingbot, OAI-SearchBot and PerplexityBot. We also make sure your important content isn't hidden behind scripts they can't run.

Answer-first content

We give every important question a clear, quotable answer: plain definitions, real prices, honest comparisons, step-by-step guides and FAQs. That's what AI systems can lift and cite accurately.

Clear brand and entity signals

We make your name, address and phone number consistent everywhere. We add accurate Organization and LocalBusiness structured data, and set up an About page that states plainly who you are, where you are and what you do.

Citations and mentions

AI answers lean on what other sites say about you. We build the reviews, directory listings, industry mentions and links that make you a credible source worth recommending.

AI visibility reporting

We track your important prompts every month. You'll see your share of AI answers against your competitors, and the visits and enquiries arriving from AI tools in your analytics.

How it runs

From invisible to recommended in four steps

01 · Benchmark

We agree the questions that bring you customers and record how AI search answers them today, including who it recommends instead of you.

02 · Fix the foundations

We sort out crawl access, page speed, structured data and consistent business details, so AI systems can read and trust what's on your site.

03 · Build answers

We create and rewrite pages around real customer questions, with clear answers, evidence and internal links to the services behind them.

04 · Earn trust and track

We grow reviews, mentions and links, then re-test the same prompts each month and put more effort into what's moving.

AI SEO from an Adelaide team that builds for search

We're based in Adelaide and work with businesses across Australia. Because we also build websites and software in-house, we can make the technical changes AI search depends on ourselves. You won't just get a report and a list of things to hand to your developer.

Our approach is the GEO framework from why most Adelaide SEO campaigns will fail in 2026, and we've written up what a real website audit revealed about AI search.

What we won't promise

  • A guaranteed spot in ChatGPT: AI answers vary by person, location and wording, and nobody controls them. Anyone who guarantees one is guessing.
  • Shortcuts and hacks: no hidden prompts, fake reviews or keyword-stuffed pages. They risk your rankings and your reputation.
  • Magic files: special AI files and markup tricks are optional extras at best. Clear, accurate, well-linked content is what gets cited.

Good to know

AI SEO questions, answered honestly

What is AI SEO?

AI SEO is the work of making your business visible in answers written by AI search tools such as Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot. It covers making your site easy for their crawlers to read, publishing clear answers they can quote, and building the reputation that makes them confident recommending you.

Is AI SEO the same as GEO, AEO or LLM SEO?

Mostly, yes. Generative engine optimisation (GEO), answer engine optimisation (AEO) and LLM SEO are different names for the same goal: being the source an AI answer cites or the business it recommends. We use "AI SEO" because it's what most people search for.

Do I still need traditional SEO?

Yes. AI search tools draw heavily on pages that already rank, load quickly and are well linked. Google's AI Overviews are built on Google's own index. Strong conventional SEO is the foundation, and AI SEO is the layer on top that shapes how you're described and whether you're named.

Can you guarantee my business will appear in ChatGPT or AI Overviews?

No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. AI answers change with the wording of the question, the person asking and where they are, and they're updated constantly. What we commit to is the work that measurably improves your chances, tracked against the same set of prompts every month.

How do you measure AI SEO results?

We track a fixed set of prompts that matter to your business across the main AI tools, and record whether you're mentioned, cited or linked and how often your competitors are. In your analytics we also measure visits from AI tools such as ChatGPT and Perplexity, and the enquiries they produce.

How long does AI SEO take to work?

Technical fixes can take effect as soon as your pages are re-crawled. Earning regular mentions usually takes a few months, because it depends on content, reviews and other sites talking about you. You'll see the trend in the monthly prompt tracking long before it shows up in enquiries.

Do I need an llms.txt file or special AI markup?

Not to appear in Google's AI features. Google's guidance is that no special AI files or markup are needed. We may add an llms.txt file where it costs little, but we won't sell it as a strategy. Accurate structured data, clear pages and a strong reputation do the heavy lifting.

Do you only work with Adelaide businesses?

No. We're based in Blair Athol in Adelaide and work with businesses across Australia. AI SEO is done entirely online, with monthly reporting and check-ins.
