What it is

How AI search finds and cites pages

AI search tools write an answer, then link to the pages they used. To earn that link, a page has to be reachable by the tool's crawler and clear enough to quote. AI SEO makes both true for your site and raises your brand's visibility in AI-generated results.

Is there an AI that can do SEO?Generative AI tools can draft text and spot patterns. They can't verify your facts, fix your server or earn trust from real sites. People still do that part.How to show up in AI Overviews
  1. 01

    Where the name GEO comes from

    Generative engine optimization, or GEO, is the name a 2023 research paper gave this branch of SEO. Its authors, including researchers at Princeton and IIT Delhi, tested page edits on a generative engine. Adding quotations, statistics and cited sources lifted visibility in generative engine responses by up to 40%.

  2. 02

    One question, many searches

    Google says AI Overviews and AI Mode may use a query fan-out. The system runs several related queries across subtopics, then writes one answer to the user's question. A site with a clear page for each subtopic gives Google more of your pages to choose from. Each of those pages can also rank on its own in regular search.

  3. 03

    Answers that are easy to quote

    ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity pull short, direct statements. A page that answers the user's question in its first sentence is easier to cite. Proof and a source come next. Vague pages rarely make it into AI results.

  4. 04

    Digital PR and link building

    An AI-generated answer can only repeat what the web says about your brand. Digital PR and link building place accurate mentions on news, trade and local sites. That is how we build the authority and trust that AI SEO and traditional SEO depend on.

  5. 05

    Results from a client site

    A New York cosmetic surgery center whose site we redesigned shows 164 Google AI Overview citations and 40 ChatGPT citations in Ahrefs. The same site ranks for 2.9K keywords, because traditional SEO did the groundwork. Ask any digital agency selling AI SEO for numbers like these from a real client account.

Platforms

Where AI SEO earns citations

Each generative engine has its own crawler, its own rules and its own way to show a cited source. Our GEO work covers all six.

01

Google AI Overviews

Google says its AI Overviews need no special files or optimizations. Google picks sources from indexed pages that can show a snippet.

02

Google AI Mode

A chat-style Google search that writes AI-generated answers from the same index. It splits one user question into several queries.

03

ChatGPT search

ChatGPT search uses OAI-SearchBot. OpenAI says sites that block it won't appear in ChatGPT search answers.

04

Gemini

The Google-Extended token decides whether Gemini Apps may ground answers in your pages. Google says it has no effect on Search rankings.

05

Perplexity

PerplexityBot finds and links pages in Perplexity answers. Perplexity asks sites to allow it in robots.txt and firewall rules.

06

Microsoft Copilot

Bing Webmaster Tools reports citations in Copilot and AI-generated summaries in Bing, plus the grounding queries behind each one.

GEO vs SEO

AI SEO and traditional SEO work together

Traditional SEO earns a place in the search engine results. Generative engine optimization earns a mention inside the AI-generated answer above them.

  1. 01

    What stays the same

    AI Overviews draw on Google's regular index and snippet rules. Crawlable pages, internal links, earned backlinks and topical authority still decide which source Google picks. Weak traditional SEO means weak AI visibility.

  2. 02

    What changes

    The user types a full question instead of two keywords. An answer engine quotes single passages, so each page needs a plain, quotable statement near the top. AI tools rarely cite vague pages.

  3. 03

    Brand and entity signals

    An entity is a thing a search engine can identify, such as your business. One brand name, address, service list and owner across your site and listings helps build trust in those facts.

  4. 04

    How we measure AI SEO success

    Rankings and leads still count. We add AI visibility, meaning the platforms such as Gemini that cite your brand and the queries behind them. Search Console folds AI traffic into its Web report.

What's included

What our AI SEO and GEO work covers

Six parts of generative engine optimization, each built on signals every search engine already uses.

Crawler access

robots.txt and firewall rules that let Googlebot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot and Bingbot in.

Answer-first pages

Content optimization so each page answers its main question first, then adds detail and proof.

Question research

The questions customers ask in calls, reviews and searches, each matched to a page.

Structured data

Business, service and FAQ schema written to mirror the visible text, word for word.

Brand facts

Prices, hours, areas and brand claims stated plainly, each with a source.

Citation tracking

We check which AI-generated answers cite your brand and which cite competitors.

GEO check

Ask your SEO agency which AI answers cite your brand today.

If nobody can name the queries, platforms and pages, nobody tracks your visibility in AI-generated answers. Our monthly SEO report shows all three, next to search results and leads.

Real answers

AI SEO questions

Basics

What are AI SEO services?

Work that helps AI search tools find, trust and cite your pages. Some call it generative engine optimization, GEO for short, or answer engine optimization. It covers crawler access, answer-first pages, structured data and citation tracking, all built on traditional SEO.
Cost

How much does AI SEO cost?

Our AI SEO and GEO work is part of monthly SEO, which starts at $2,000 a month. Your industry sets the base. Some agency packages sell it alone. We don't, because the same pages and signals decide rankings and AI citations.
Google

Do I need special files or markup for AI Overviews?

No. Per Google, AI Overviews require no special files, markup or optimizations, only indexed pages eligible for a snippet. Clear answers and accurate structured data still help Google understand a page and its results.Read the full answer →
ChatGPT

Can ChatGPT find my website?

Only if OAI-SearchBot can crawl it. OpenAI says sites that block that crawler won't show in ChatGPT search answers. Some firewall and CDN settings block AI crawlers, so we check your robots.txt and firewall rules.
Tools

Can ChatGPT do SEO?

It can draft copy, suggest keywords and explain a technical issue. It has no access to your Search Console data, can't crawl your whole site and can't earn links, authority or brand mentions. An AI SEO specialist checks every fact against a source.
Tracking

How do you track AI citations?

We run your top questions in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google each month to measure AI visibility. Bing Webmaster Tools adds Copilot citation counts. Ahrefs estimates how often Google AI Overviews cited your pages.
