Who this is for

  • Service businesses and B2B companies whose buyers research with ChatGPT or Gemini first
  • Brands that rank on Google but never get mentioned in AI answers
  • Teams that want to know which AI engine sends leads, not just guess

Not a fit if you want a one-time trick. AI engines reward the same thing over months: clear, consistent, provable information about your business.

What's included

AI visibility audit

I ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and AI Overviews the questions your buyers ask and record who gets named, cited and linked.

Answer-first content

Service pages and guides that answer the question in the first lines, with real prices, specs and steps AI tools can quote.

Entity and schema signals

Organization, LocalBusiness, Service and FAQ markup, plus consistent names, addresses and descriptions across the web.

Third-party mentions

Citations, directories, reviews and industry listings that AI engines use to confirm you are real and relevant.

llms.txt and crawler access

AI crawlers allowed, important pages discoverable and a clean llms.txt that summarizes what you do.

AI traffic tracking

GA4 and Looker Studio reporting that separates ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot and Gemini visits and leads.

What is AI search optimization (AEO and GEO)?

AI search optimization is the work of making your business the answer AI assistants give. Answer engine optimization (AEO) focuses on getting quoted in direct answers. Generative engine optimization (GEO) focuses on being named and linked inside the longer responses ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity write.

Both rely on the same foundation as good SEO: pages that rank, a clear entity, and proof that other sites agree with what you say about yourself. The difference is the format. AI tools favor short, specific, quotable answers over long marketing copy.

How do you get your business recommended by ChatGPT?

There is no form to fill in. ChatGPT and the other assistants assemble recommendations from what they can find and verify. In practice that means:

  • Rank on Google and Bing for the services you sell, because AI tools search them in real time
  • Answer the buyer's question plainly near the top of each page
  • Describe your business the same way on your site, Google Business Profile, directories and social profiles
  • Earn reviews and mentions on sites the AI already trusts
  • Use schema so machines can read your services, area and credentials without guessing

Proof, not promises

For Chicago Network Solutions, a B2B low-voltage contractor, this approach took the site from page four to ChatGPT's first recommendation for structured cabling in Chicago in seven months. Google's AI features showed the site 12.2K times, and Copilot citations rose from 68 to 453. The full timeline is in the case study.

How much does AI Search Optimization cost?

AI search optimization is usually part of a monthly SEO engagement, because the same pages and signals win Google and AI answers. Most projects start with a one-time AI visibility audit, then a fixed monthly scope. You get a written plan and price after the free call.

AI Search Optimization questions

What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?

SEO gets your pages ranked in search results. AEO gets your content quoted as a direct answer. GEO gets your brand named inside AI-written responses from ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. They share one foundation, so I work on all three together.

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

Most businesses see first AI citations within two to four months, once new pages are indexed and third-party mentions build up. Being named first for a competitive query took seven months for Chicago Network Solutions.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?

No. Nobody controls what an AI model says, and anyone who guarantees it is guessing. What I can do is give AI tools every reason to name you and show you the results each month.

How do you measure AI search visibility?

I re-run a fixed set of buyer prompts each month across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and AI Overviews, and track AI referrals and leads in GA4. Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools also report AI feature impressions and citations.

Does AI search optimization replace Google SEO?

No. AI assistants lean on search rankings to find sources, so strong Google and Bing SEO is still the base. AI optimization adds the formatting, entity and mention work on top.

Do I need an llms.txt file?

It helps AI tools read a summary of your site, and it takes minutes to set up with my free llms.txt generator. It is not a ranking switch on its own, so I treat it as one small part of the work.

Does ChatGPT recommend you or a competitor?

Send me your website and main service. I'll ask the AI engines your buyers use and reply with who they name, and what it would take to make it you.
