AI SEO Services That Get Your Business Named in AI Answers

Your buyers now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews who to call. AI SEO (some call it GEO) is the work that makes your business one of the names those answers give, built on the Google rankings the answers lean on.

If your qualifying keywords aren’t on the first page of Google within 60 days, we keep working for free until they are. Qualifying keywords are the searches your buyers type, agreed with you on the first call. Being named in AI answers comes on top of that.

30 minutes on Google Meet. We ask the AI tools about your market, live.

What is AI SEO?

Rank on Google. Get named by AI.

AI SEO is the work that gets your business named and linked when someone asks an AI tool a question, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot or Google’s AI Overviews. It is also called generative engine optimization (GEO), answer engine optimization (AEO) or LLM SEO. They all mean the same job.

Your Google rankings still bring the calls. Now the same work pays off in one more place. An AI answer often gives three to five names and stops, and AI repeats who Google ranks. See how it works in ChatGPT SEO and Google AI Overviews SEO.

SEO asks

Do we rank for the search?

AI SEO asks

Are we named in the answer?

We do

Both, in one plan.

AI SEO for every AI search tool

Six AI tools. Six ways to get named.

Each one picks businesses its own way. We cover all six, one by one. No single trick, no guesswork.

01

Google AI Overviews and AI Mode

The summary on top of Google results, and Google’s chat-style search. Both draw on pages Google already ranks, plus Google Business Profiles for local searches. Rank on Google and you are already in the running.

Google AI Overviews SEO →
02

ChatGPT

Searches the web for questions about businesses, then gives a shortlist with links. A clear page for each service and city you cover gives it a page of yours to send the buyer to.

ChatGPT SEO →
03

Claude

For local questions it shows a list of nearby businesses with their star ratings and review counts. A complete Google Business Profile and steady reviews matter here as much as the website.

04

Gemini

Google’s assistant, built on Google Search and Maps. The same work that moves your Google rankings moves what Gemini says about you.

05

Perplexity

Shows the websites it used, with links, in every answer. Pages that say plainly what you do, with the answer near the top, are the ones it sends buyers to.

06

Microsoft Copilot

Built on Bing, Microsoft’s search engine. We make sure Bing can find every page of yours, so Copilot can recommend you too.

How our AI SEO process works

Six jobs. Google first.

No secret prompt and no trick that works on one tool for a week. AI search rewards the same things good SEO always did, so we do those properly and shape them for the answers. Month to month, no long-term contract.

01

Ask what buyers ask

We put the questions your buyers type into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google’s AI, and record who gets named today. That is the starting line.

02

Rank on Google first

AI answers lean on pages that already rank. So the Google work comes first, with our 60-day page one guarantee behind it. Organic SEO

03

Write pages AI can quote

Each key page opens with a plain answer to the question, in a sentence an AI tool can repeat with your name on it. Then the detail, prices and proof below it.

04

Get others to vouch for you

Links and mentions from trusted sites in your field, plus reviews and a complete Google Business Profile. AI tools lean on them to decide who to name. Link building

05

Make your site easy for AI to read

So when someone asks for what you sell in your city, AI tools know it is you and send the call your way. Every page spells out what you do, where and for whom, and opens fast. Technical SEO

06

Re-ask and report

We ask the same questions again and show you where you are named, with screenshots, next to your Google rankings, walked through live.

Straight answers about AI search

AI SEO questions owners ask before they book.

01 What are AI SEO services?

AI SEO services are the work that gets your business named and linked in answers from AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google's AI Overviews. That covers ranking on Google, writing pages that answer buyers' questions plainly, earning mentions and links from trusted sites, and making your website easy for AI tools to read.

02 Is AI SEO the same as GEO, AEO or LLM SEO?

Yes. Generative engine optimization (GEO), answer engine optimization (AEO), LLM SEO and AI SEO are different names for the same job: getting your business chosen when an AI tool answers a question about what you sell.

03 Will AI SEO hurt my Google rankings?

No. The work that gets you named in AI answers is the same work Google rewards: clear pages, trusted links and a site that reads cleanly. We build for Google first, so your rankings and your AI visibility grow together.

04 What does your AI SEO guarantee cover?

Our written guarantees are on Google, the rankings ChatGPT and other AI tools lean on. If you don't see visible improvement in your key metrics within the first 20 days, we refund $200 on top of returning your payment for that period. If your qualifying keywords aren't on the first page of Google within 60 days, we keep working for free until they are. Being named in ChatGPT, Claude and Google's AI is what we build on top, and we show you where you are named every month.

05 How long does AI SEO take to work?

It follows your Google rankings. Our guarantees cover the first 20 days and the first 60 days on Google. AI answers tend to pick you up as those rankings and your mentions on other sites grow.

06 Do I need new content for AI search?

Usually you need better pages more than more pages. We rework your key pages so each one opens with a plain answer to the question your buyers ask, then add pages where a service or city has none.

07 How much do AI SEO services cost?

AI SEO is included in every plan. Local SEO, organic SEO, or both usually run $1,497 to $5,000 a month. Organic SEO across several websites is $5,000 or more a month. Month to month, no long-term contract.

08 How do you track AI search visibility?

We ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Google's AI the questions your buyers ask, record which businesses are named, and repeat it. You see the screenshots next to your Google rankings in your monthly report.
