AI Search Optimization
Google indexes you. AI cites you. Different game. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) prepare your brand to be quoted by Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. This is the new layer above SEO — built on structured data, AI-readable content, and entity-level signals that LLMs use to decide who they cite.

Common questions
AI Search Optimization FAQ
What is the difference between SEO and GEO / AEO?
SEO targets rankings on Google search result pages. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) target being quoted directly inside AI answers from Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. Different engines, different signals, different content structures.
How long until I see citations in AI search?
Initial citations typically appear in 4–12 weeks, depending on existing authority, niche competition, and crawl frequency of the AI engines. Some Perplexity citations appear within days for low-competition entity queries.
Will GEO / AEO hurt my Google rankings?
No. Structured data, semantic content, and clear entity signals are also Google ranking factors. GEO / AEO work is additive to SEO and often improves Google performance as a side effect.
Which AI engines do you optimize for?
Perplexity, ChatGPT Search, Claude (web search mode), Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. Each engine has slightly different citation behavior — we optimize for the overlap and the engine-specific edges.
Can you guarantee citations?
No honest provider can guarantee citations from systems we do not control. What we do guarantee: full GEO / AEO infrastructure built to current best practice, with quarterly re-audit and tuning as AI engines evolve.
