GENERATIVE ENGINE OPTIMISATION

What AI visibility and AI optimisation actually mean

SEO was about ranking. This is about being recommended.

AI visibility is how often, and how prominently, your business is named when someone asks an AI assistant for a recommendation. AI optimisation is the work of improving it — shaping what the models read, trust and repeat about you.

For two decades, getting found meant ranking on a page of blue links, and the customer did the comparing. AI search collapses that. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews read the web for the customer and hand back a short, confident shortlist — often just two or three names. There is no page two.

That changes the goal entirely. It’s no longer enough to be findable. With proper AI optimisation, your business becomes the answer — the name the machine recommends before a competitor is ever considered. It’s the most important shift in digital marketing since Google itself, and most businesses haven’t started.

WHERE WE GET YOU SEEN

Every engine your customers ask, optimised

Each AI platform sources and ranks recommendations differently. Our AI optimisation work is tuned to all four — because your buyers don’t all use the same one.

ChatGPT

The default assistant for hundreds of millions. We shape the trust signals and content it draws on so you’re named in its answers.

Perplexity

The answer engine that cites its sources. We make sure your pages are the ones it quotes and links when buyers research you.

Google AI Overviews

The AI summary now sitting above the search results. We optimise so your business is inside the overview, not buried below it.

Gemini

Google’s assistant, woven through Android, Search and Workspace. We optimise your entity data so it understands and recommends you.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

A complete AI optimisation programme

AI visibility isn’t a single trick — it’s a system of signals working together. Here’s the full picture of what we do, every month.

AI visibility audit

We ask the AI engines the questions your customers ask, and map exactly where, when and how you’re mentioned today — and where rivals beat you.

Answer-ready content

We write the clear, well-structured, genuinely useful pages that AI models love to quote — built around the exact questions buyers ask.

Entity & schema markup

We mark up your business, services and FAQs so machines read them without guessing — no ambiguity about who you are or what you do.

Authority & citations

We build the consistent mentions, listings and quality references across the web that teach the models you’re a credible name to recommend.

Reviews & reputation

A steady flow of recent, positive reviews is one of the strongest signals an AI uses. We build a simple system to keep them coming.

AI mention tracking

Every month we re-test the engines and report how often you’re named, how you’re described, and how that’s trending — the rank check for the AI era.

WHY AI VISIBILITY MATTERS NOW

Ranking fourth on Google still gets clicks. Being fourth to an AI gets nothing.

When an assistant answers, it stops at two or three names. Early AI optimisation is a rare window: the businesses that get optimised now become the default recommendation in their category — and that lead compounds as adoption grows.

The invisible lost lead

If the AI never names you, you don’t just lose the click — you never even see the enquiry. There’s no analytics line for a recommendation you weren’t part of.

First-mover advantage

Most of your competitors haven’t started optimising for AI. Establish yourself as the trusted answer now, before the category gets crowded and harder to enter.

It strengthens your SEO too

AI optimisation and search optimisation share foundations. The clarity, authority and structure that win AI mentions lift your Google rankings at the same time.

PRICING

AI optimisation plans. No lock-in. No surprises.

Every plan is a rolling monthly agreement — stay because you’re being recommended, not because you’re tied in. Prices exclude VAT.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

AI visibility questions, answered plainly

What’s the difference between AI visibility and SEO?+

SEO is about ranking your pages on a search engine results page, where the customer compares options and clicks. AI visibility is about being named directly inside an AI assistant’s answer, where the model does the comparing and hands back a shortlist. They share foundations — clarity, authority, structure — but AI optimisation goes further, shaping what the models read and repeat about you. Most businesses now need both.

Can you really influence what ChatGPT says?+

Nobody controls a model’s output directly — but you absolutely can influence the inputs it draws on. AI assistants are grounded on what the web says about you: your site, reviews, listings, mentions and structured data. By making that footprint consistent, substantial and machine-readable, we measurably improve how often and how favourably you’re named. We track it monthly so you can see the movement, not just take our word for it.

How do you measure AI visibility?+

We build a set of the real prompts your customers would type and run them across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews on a regular cycle. We record whether you’re mentioned, in what position, how you’re described, and how that compares to competitors. That becomes your AI mention share — a clear, trackable number we report on every month, so progress is visible.

How long does AI optimisation take to work?+

Some changes — structured data, clearer pages, fixed listings — get picked up within weeks as the models refresh. Building the deeper authority and reputation signals that earn consistent recommendations takes a few months and keeps compounding. Because so few competitors are optimising for AI yet, this is an unusually good moment to start: early movers tend to lock in the default-recommendation position.

Do I still need SEO if I’m doing AI optimisation?+

Yes — and the good news is they reinforce each other. Plenty of buyers still use traditional search, and the authority and clarity that win AI mentions are the same signals that lift Google rankings. Our Recommended and Authority plans include foundational SEO for exactly this reason. If search is your priority, our SEO service leads with that and adds AI visibility on top.
