What is AI search optimization?

AI search optimization (also called GEO — Generative Engine Optimization) is the process of making your business visible in AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Unlike traditional SEO which targets search result rankings, GEO targets the actual recommendations AI tools give when someone asks for a service provider.

How long does it take to show up in ChatGPT recommendations?

Most clients start seeing their business appear in AI recommendations within 30-60 days. The timeline depends on your current online presence, competition in your category, and which AI platforms you're targeting. Our 60-day money-back guarantee reflects our confidence in this timeline.

What's the difference between SEO and AI search optimization?

Traditional SEO gets you ranked in Google's blue links. AI search optimization gets you cited in the actual answer when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini for a recommendation. AI tools don't show ranked lists — they pick one or a few businesses to recommend. We make sure yours is one of them.

Do I need to change my website?

For Starter and Growth plans, no website changes are required. We work with your existing online presence. The Authority plan includes technical website implementation — schema markup, structured data, and site architecture — as part of the full-service package.

What is your refund policy?

We offer a 60-day money-back guarantee. If you don't see your business appearing in AI recommendations within 60 days of starting, we'll refund your payment in full.

Which AI platforms do you optimize for?

Starter focuses on ChatGPT. Growth expands to ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Siri, Alexa, and Perplexity. Authority covers all major AI platforms plus builds the third-party brand authority signals that AI tools pull from.

Why do Reddit and Quora mentions matter for AI visibility?

AI platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity are trained on and actively retrieve from community discussion platforms like Reddit and Quora. When your business or category expertise is mentioned in these forums, AI tools treat it as a trust signal and are more likely to cite you in recommendations. This is why the Authority plan includes building and managing your presence on these platforms.

Can ecommerce businesses benefit from AI search optimization?

Yes. Ecommerce brands benefit significantly from AI optimization, especially for 'best [product] for [use case]' and 'where to buy [product]' queries. The Growth plan is specifically designed for ecommerce brands ready to scale AI referrals.

What happens on the free AI visibility audit call?

Before the call we research your brand across every major AI platform. On the call we walk you through your visibility score, show you exactly where competitors are being recommended instead of you, and hand you your 30-60-90 day action plan. It's 30 minutes. You leave with a complete picture of where you stand and what to do about it, whether you hire us or not.

How is this different from regular SEO?

SEO gets you ranked in Google's blue links. GEO gets you cited inside AI-generated answers. One optimizes for clicks, the other for recommendations. They're complementary, but most businesses have invested only in SEO. That's the gap we close.

Do I need existing SEO for this to work?

A basic SEO foundation matters since AI often pulls from high-ranking pages. But it's not required. We'll tell you on the audit call if foundational work needs to happen first.

How long before I see results?

Directional movement within 60-90 days. Meaningful citation increases typically happen between months 3-6. After month 6 the content and citations compound, continuing to work without additional spend.

How do you measure success?

Visibility score, share of voice vs competitors, and citation frequency across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overview, tracked monthly. Real before and after numbers every reporting cycle.

What if I want to cancel?

Month to month. No contracts. The content we publish and technical fixes we implement stay live on your site — that work doesn't disappear when you stop. You own everything we build.

The 3 Pillars

AI-Readable Content

Is your website actually answering the questions AI is being asked about your category?

AI doesn't rank websites — it reads them and decides whether they're worth citing. Most business websites are written for humans to skim, not for AI to extract answers from. We audit your existing content, identify the gaps, and create new pages, FAQs, and structured data that directly answer the questions your potential customers are asking AI right now.

Answer-first content is the #1 signal AI uses to rank you.

Authority and Citations

Is your business mentioned in the sources AI actually trusts?

AI doesn't pull recommendations from thin air. It cites businesses that appear in the sources it's been trained on and continues to reference: industry directories, review platforms, media mentions, and authoritative third-party sites. We've mapped exactly which sources matter for your category and we get your business mentioned in them.

Third-party citations are the #1 signal AI uses to rank you.

Brand Consistency

Does your name, category, and what you do show up the same way everywhere?

LLMs don't like being confused. If your business is described differently across your website, Google Business Profile, social profiles, and third-party listings, AI will skip you. We audit every touchpoint and make sure your brand signal is clear, consistent, and impossible to misread.

Inconsistent signals are why AI skips you for competitors.
