Call it AEO, GEO, AIO or AI SEO. The industry still can't agree on a name. We skip the argument and get AI to recommend you.

The short answer

AI SEO is the work of getting AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews to recommend your business when customers ask. We fix what AI can see about you, build the signals it trusts, and track whether it names you. Most clients see first results in two weeks to two months. Some see them within days.

Six names. One job. Somebody is billing by the acronym.

They all mean getting AI to recommend you. We use whichever one you do. If you want to know what each one means, we wrote it up in plain English.

The problem

Ten blue links became one answer.

When someone asks ChatGPT who to hire, it does not hand them a page of options to scroll. It names a few businesses, sometimes one. If you are not in that answer you are not in the running, and you never even see the search you lost.

The businesses AI names are the ones it can read clearly, that other sources vouch for, and that answer the question asked. That is fixable, and it is the work.

How we get you recommended

The same four steps behind every engagement. Here is what they look like in practice.

  1. Magnifying glass icon for Get Found

    Get Found

    Make sure AI can read your site, your listings and your business details, and that they say the same thing everywhere.

  2. Handshake icon for Build Trust

    Build Trust

    Reviews, directories, press and the sites AI already quotes. AI recommends the businesses other people vouch for.

  3. Target icon for Get Recommended

    Get Recommended

    Pages that answer the exact questions your customers ask, written so AI can lift the answer and your name with it.

  4. Rising chart icon for Stay Ahead

    Stay Ahead

    Monthly checks across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and AI Overviews. The models change. So do we.

What you get

One plan. Three jobs. You get all three.

No tiers to decode. Every client gets everything below, scoped to their market.

Month one

Fix what AI cannot read

  • A forensic audit of what AI says about you, on five platforms
  • Listings corrected: Google, Bing, Apple Maps, the directories AI reads
  • Behind-the-scenes code fixes so AI can read your site
  • A map of the questions your customers actually ask AI
Every month

Build what AI trusts

  • Pages that answer your customers' questions, written so AI quotes them
  • Mentions on the sites AI already trusts
  • A review program that follows the rules
  • Monthly re-check across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and AI Overviews
What lands in your inbox

Proof, in plain English

  • A monthly report: who AI named, where, and why
  • Results cross-checked with several state-of-the-art AI visibility tracking tools
  • Screenshots of the answers, not a score out of ten
  • A 30-minute call to walk it through
That is the broad brush. Underneath it are dozens of tasks, and a lot of them are done by hand, by people.

Plenty of the sites that matter do not let software in. A person has to do it. Ignore anyone promising that AI will do this for you while you sleep. Sometimes it cannot, and when it tries anyway, it backfires. We use AI where it helps and people where it matters, and we tell you which is which.

When you'll see it
  1. Day 1Thirty-minute call. We show you what AI says about you today
  2. Day 2Forensic audit and fix list, on a call
  3. Week 1Listings and technical fixes live
  4. Weeks 2 to 8First results for most clients. Some see them within days.
  5. Month 3 and onSteadier recommendations, tracked monthly
Proof: white label

Other agencies hire us to do this for their clients.

We white label the whole thing: the audit, the work, the reports, under their name. If the pros outsource it to us, you can skip the middleman.

White label for agencies
Priced to
your market.
Quoted after we look
What it costs

It depends on where you start. The competition in your market, the state of your website and how much of your business already shows up online set the scope, along with how many services you sell and how far you want to reach. We look first, then quote.

No setup fee hiding in month one. No twelve-month contract. If AI still isn't naming you after a quarter, you get the reason in writing, not a renewal pitch.

See what moves the price

Built for
  • Owners who ask "how did you hear about us" and never hear "ChatGPT"
  • Businesses that rank on Google and still don't get named by AI
  • Marketing teams who need AI visibility measured, not guessed at
Not for
  • Anyone who wants to be #1 in ChatGPT by Friday. Nobody can honestly promise that.
  • Businesses with no reviews and no plan to get any.
  • People who want to game the system without doing their part. We will need reviews, access and answers from you, and we will ask for them.
Questions people ask

Before you call.

Is AEO the same as GEO or AI SEO?
Close enough that the difference won't change your results. AEO (answer engine optimization), GEO (generative engine optimization), AIO and AI SEO all describe one goal: getting AI platforms to cite and recommend you. The fine print is on our acronym page. Read more.
How do I get my business on ChatGPT?
There is no sign-up form. ChatGPT builds answers from what it learned in training and what it finds when it searches the web: your site, your listings, your reviews and what other sites say about you. You get on ChatGPT by being clear, consistent and vouched for in those places.
Can I pay ChatGPT to recommend my business?
No. OpenAI began testing ads in ChatGPT in the US in February 2026, and businesses can buy them, but OpenAI says ads run on separate systems and have no say in its answers. You can buy the billboard. You can't buy the recommendation.
How do you know what AI actually says about my business?
We ask the AI platforms your customers' questions on a schedule, on every platform, and cross-check the results with several state-of-the-art AI visibility tracking tools. The report shows what AI said, with screenshots, not one tool's guess.
How fast does it work, and can you guarantee it?
Most clients see first results in two weeks to two months. Some see them within days. In a crowded market it can take six to eight weeks, and how competitive your market is and how your website is built matter most. Nobody can guarantee what a model will say, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What we guarantee is the work, and a monthly report that shows you, on the record, what AI says about you.
Do I still need regular SEO?
Yes. AI search tools look things up on the web before they answer, and pages that already rank and read clearly get used more. SEO is the foundation this sits on. Read more.
