AI Search Optimisation

AI Search Optimisation Services

Your customers are asking ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews who to hire, and those answers name a handful of businesses. We make sure yours is one of them. AI search optimisation, also called generative engine optimisation, gets your business quoted, cited and linked in the answers people now act on, on the same foundations that win rankings in Google.

  • Cited In AI Answers
  • Named In AI Overviews
  • Visible In ChatGPT

AI Search Optimisation

The short version

What is AI search optimisation?

AI search optimisation is the work of making your business the one that AI tools pick when someone asks them a question you should be answering. It goes by a few names, generative engine optimisation (GEO), answer engine optimisation (AEO) and LLM optimisation, and they all describe the same job: being the source an AI trusts, quotes and links to.

It is not a replacement for SEO, it is built on top of it. Google’s AI Overviews are assembled from pages Google already ranks, and ChatGPT, Copilot and Perplexity lean heavily on live search results, reviews and third party mentions to decide who is credible. Strong SEO gets you into the pool of sources. The work on this page decides whether you get named once you are in it.

The practical difference is how it is measured. Rankings are a position on a page. AI visibility is whether you appear in an answer, how you are described and whether the link points at you or a competitor, so it has to be tracked prompt by prompt rather than keyword by keyword.

Same foundations

Crawlable pages, clear topical depth, real reviews and genuine authority. AI answers are drawn from sources that already earn trust in search.

Different unit of measure

We track a set of real customer prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot, and report on how often you are named.

One campaign, both jobs

Every piece of work here also strengthens your organic rankings, so you are never choosing between SEO and AI search.

Sound familiar?

Why businesses come to us for AI search optimisation

Traffic is sliding while rankings hold

Search Console shows the same positions and fewer clicks. AI Overviews now sit above the results and answer the question on the page, so the businesses cited inside them take the enquiry and everyone else takes the scroll past.

AI recommends your competitors, not you

Ask ChatGPT or Gemini who to hire in your suburb and three or four names come back. If yours is missing, or the description is out of date, you are losing work before the customer ever opens Google.

Nobody can tell you where you stand

There is no Search Console for AI answers, so most businesses have no idea whether they are being cited. We measure it against a set of real prompts, competitor by competitor, and show you the movement each month.

What’s included

What’s included in AI Search Optimisation

No secret sauce. The fundamentals executed properly, tailored to your website and the searches that bring you customers.

  1. AI visibility audit

    We run the prompts your customers actually type, across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot, and record who gets named, what gets cited and how your business is described when it appears.

  2. Entity and brand foundations

    Consistent business details, schema markup, Google Business Profile, About and service pages that state plainly who you are, what you do and where. AI tools can only recommend a business they can identify.

  3. Content built to be quoted

    Direct answers, clear headings, real specifics, pricing ranges, timelines and local detail. Pages that answer the question in the first two sentences get lifted into answers; pages that bury it do not.

  4. Technical access for AI crawlers

    GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot and Google-Extended checked and allowed where you want them, clean HTML that does not need JavaScript to read, fast pages and correct structured data.

  5. Reviews, mentions and third party sources

    AI answers about local services lean on reviews, directories, industry bodies and news. We build the mentions that put your name in the sources those tools read.

  6. AI visibility reporting

    A tracked prompt set re-run every month, showing where you are cited, where a competitor is cited instead and what changed, alongside your organic rankings and leads.

How it works

AI Search Optimisation, step by step

  1. Baseline your AI visibility

    We build a prompt set from the questions your customers ask, run it across the major AI tools and record the starting position, including which competitors are being recommended and why.

  2. Fix the foundations

    Entity data, schema, crawler access, site speed and the service pages that AI tools have to be able to read before they can quote you.

  3. Publish and earn citations

    Each month we add the answers, comparisons and local detail that get lifted into AI results, and build the reviews and third party mentions that back them up.

  4. Measure, report, adjust

    The prompt set is re-run monthly beside your rankings and enquiries, so you can see AI visibility, organic traffic and leads moving together, and where to push next.

Questions about AI search optimisation

Is AI search optimisation different from SEO?

It is an extension of it, not a replacement. AI answers are assembled from sources that already rank and are already trusted, so technical health, content quality, reviews and links still do most of the work. What is different is the target, being named inside an answer rather than sitting at a position, and the way it is measured. We run both in the one campaign.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?

No, and be careful of anyone who does. AI answers vary between tools, between users and between one week and the next. What we can do is make your business the obvious, well-evidenced choice for the prompts that matter, then measure how often it is named and keep pushing that number up.

How do you measure whether it is working?

We agree a set of real customer prompts up front, run them across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot on a schedule, and record every mention and citation. You see the share of prompts where you are named, how that compares with competitors and how it moves month to month.

Does AI search send any actual traffic?

Some, and it converts well, because the person arrives already recommended. The bigger effect is earlier than the click: being named in the answer shapes the shortlist. We report referral traffic from AI tools where analytics can attribute it, and treat citations as the leading indicator.

Should I block AI crawlers from my website?

If you want to appear in AI answers, no. Blocking GPTBot, PerplexityBot or Google-Extended removes you from the sources those tools can read and quote. Publishers protecting paid content sometimes have a reason to block; a service business almost never does. We check what your robots.txt is currently doing, because a lot of sites block these by accident.

Do I need an llms.txt file?

It is not a ranking factor and no major AI tool has committed to using it, so it is not where we start. Clean HTML, correct schema and pages that answer the question are what actually get read. We are happy to add one, we just will not pretend it is the strategy.

How quickly will I see results?

After determining what “results” means for our clients, we create an SEO forecast and clearly communicate it. Having said that, it’s impossible to approximately pinpoint a specific ranking or amount of leads you will generate in “X” amount of time after investing in SEO. However, generally speaking we can begin to see an improvement in Google visibility within the first few weeks for certain keywords. For more information, please reach out directly at jeremy@searchology.com.au

Do you have previous experience generating leads with SEO?

Yes. Over the past 3 years we have generated 1000’s of new leads for our local SEO clients from Google search. No Google Ads or Facebook required. Check out our awesome case studies below for more specific information.

How long do we need to do SEO for?

With Searchology you’re never locked into anything. You’re free to stop and start when you like. However, we recommend a minimum period of 6 months to see seriously meaningful results from your SEO campaign with us.

Will my business’ SEO work be outsourced?

No. We do not outsource your work to India, The Philippines, Pakistan or any other country. You will work and communicate with our local Australian team of SEO specialists.

Can we meet in person to discuss my business’ SEO?

Yes of course. Our local team of specialists is based in Unley, South Australia. Please schedule your free SEO consultation on our website to book in a time to chat about your business’ SEO in person.

Do you optimise for AI search as well as Google?

Yes, and it is part of every campaign rather than an upsell. The same work that ranks you in Google, clear service pages, correct schema, real reviews and genuine local authority, is what Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot draw on when they answer a question about your industry. Where a business wants it tracked properly, our AI search optimisation service measures how often you are named across those tools and works to lift it.

Can I turn off my Google Ads after doing SEO?

We do not recommend turning off Google Ads immediately after commencing SEO services with us. However, over time and a seriously successful SEO campaign with Searchology, there will be scope to lower ad budgets and let organic traffic take the wheel.

How much do your SEO services cost?

Every campaign is scoped after a free strategy call, based on your trade, your service area and how competitive the searches are. You get a fixed monthly figure in writing, month to month, with no lock-in.

What happens to my website and Google Business Profile if I stop?

They stay yours. Everything is set up in your name from the start and we hand over cleanly, with no hostage tactics.
