Pixel-art mobile search showing an AI Overview with cited source cards

AI search optimisation helps your business become easier for systems such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot to find, understand and cite.

It is not a replacement for SEO. Strong technical foundations, genuinely useful content and trusted brand signals still matter. We build on those basics and add the work that conversational search makes more important: clear answers, credible sources, consistent business information and a visible presence beyond your own website.

We start by testing the questions that matter to your customers. We record where your brand is mentioned, cited or absent, compare the sources competitors earn visibility from, and review whether your existing pages can be crawled, understood and trusted.

That evidence becomes a practical plan. It may include improving priority service pages, creating genuinely useful comparison or guidance content, strengthening author and source signals, correcting technical barriers, and earning credible third-party coverage.

We keep AI visibility, traditional rankings, website traffic and enquiries as separate measures. That gives you a clearer view of what is changing and what is actually producing business value.

Every programme starts with evidence and is shaped around the platforms, prompts and customer journeys that matter to your business.

There is no secret switch that makes an AI system recommend a business. The durable work is to publish information people genuinely value and make the evidence behind it easy to verify.

For Google, AI visibility still rests on core SEO and people-first content. Google’s guidance for generative AI Search says there is no special AI markup or separate content format required. We therefore keep technical SEO, useful content and page experience at the centre of the work.

Other AI search experiences may retrieve and cite sources differently, so we also assess extractability, consistent entity information, source quality and visibility across the wider web. The plan is specific to the platforms your customers use, not a generic list of supposed ranking tricks.

If the evidence points to a broader SEO issue, we will say so and connect the work with our organic search service. If another channel is likely to meet the immediate objective more efficiently, we will say that too.

Measure visibility, not vanity.

We agree the questions that matter, record the baseline and track where your brand is cited, mentioned or absent. Reports keep AI visibility separate from rankings, referral traffic and conversions, so an early signal never masquerades as revenue.

AI search changes quickly, so the work is reviewed and adapted as platforms evolve. You'll see what we tested, what changed and what the evidence supports — without guaranteed rankings, citations or recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AI search optimisation?
AI search optimisation is the work of improving how accurately and visibly a brand appears in AI-powered search and answer experiences. It combines strong SEO foundations with clearer content, better source and entity signals, and measurement of mentions and citations across relevant platforms.
Is AI SEO different from traditional SEO?
It overlaps heavily. Technical accessibility, helpful content, authority and a good page experience still matter. AI search adds new discovery journeys and new measures, so we assess conversational questions, source selection, mentions and citations as well as rankings and clicks.
Can you guarantee that our business will appear in ChatGPT?
No. No agency can guarantee a citation, recommendation or ranking from an independent AI system. We can improve the quality, accessibility and credibility of the information available about your business, then test and report what changes.
Which AI platforms do you optimise for?
We prioritise the platforms your customers use. That can include ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot, alongside traditional Google and Bing search.
How do you measure AI search performance?
We agree a repeatable set of commercially relevant questions and record whether your brand is absent, mentioned, cited or recommended. We keep those observations separate from website referrals, organic search performance and tracked enquiries so the report remains honest.
How long does AI search optimisation take?
Technical fixes can be completed quickly, but crawling, source discovery and reputation signals take time. After the initial audit, we set review points around the work required and the pace at which the relevant platforms refresh their information.
