What is AI SEO
AI SEO (Artificial Intelligence Search Engine Optimisation) is the process of optimising your website’s content to be found, understood, and cited across AI-powered search experiences.
AI SEO builds on traditional SEO practices whilst incorporating elements of Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) to ensure visibility for your brand across:
- AI-generated overviews (Google AI Overviews)
- Chat-based searches (ChatGPT)
- Voice search assistants (Google Assistant, Siri, Alexa)
- Generative search engines (Perplexity AI)
- AI Assistants (Claude)
Why AI SEO Matters for your Business
Search behaviour changed, your visibility strategy should too
Your audience still needs your services, but how they find you has changed. People ask and receive direct responses in answer engines like ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity. Google’s AI Overviews provide summaries, pushing organic results lower on the page. Your website’s SEO foundation remains critical, but visibility across every channel your customers use is what gets you found.
Your existing SEO gets you ranked in organic results in SERPs. AI SEO gets you recommended in ChatGPT responses, cited in Google’s AI Overviews, and discovered through Perplexity and voice search. With an AI SEO strategy, your website is optimised for every search strategy your customers use, so you show up consistently in ChatGPT, Google’s AI, and traditional search results that drive leads.
With an AI SEO strategy, your business can:
-
Appear in AI-generated summaries that guide buying decisions -
Be recommended when buyers ask ChatGPT or voice assistants who to choose
-
Maintain strong rankings on Google’s organic search
All measurable, all enhancing what you already have to get you ahead of your competitors.

What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation)?
- Getting to know your business and what drives you and your team
- Creating a ‘north star’ for your KPIs and goals so we know what to work towards. Understanding your specific KPIs is so important because every business is different and unique and what matters to others might not matter for you too.
- Auditing all of your platforms/accounts/websites so we know what we’re working with.
- Understanding your current conversion rates and identifying areas to improve on them before we start sending traffic there.
- Auditing your platforms and accounts also allows us to get to know your audience, if we can’t make a bigger picture audience or persona then we start to work with you to identify your DREAM audience and who you feel would be best for your business to acquire, i.e. biggest spenders, most likely to turn into return customers.
