AI Search Optimization — frequently asked questions
What is AI search optimization?
AI search optimization — also called GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) or AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) — is the practice of structuring your content so AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews cite and recommend your business when users ask questions about your trade. It is the next evolution of SEO.
How do people find businesses through AI search?
Instead of typing keywords into Google, more consumers are asking AI tools questions like 'Who is the best roofer in Austin?' or 'What HVAC company should I call for a heat pump installation?' AI pulls from structured, authoritative content to formulate its answer. If your business is not optimized for this, AI will recommend your competitors.
How is this different from regular SEO?
Traditional SEO optimizes for Google's ranking algorithm — blue links on a results page. AI search optimization targets the AI models that generate answers. These models prioritize structured data, entity relationships, factual claims with citations, and content formatted in direct answer blocks. The techniques overlap but the execution is different.
Can you prove that AI recommends businesses you optimize?
Yes. You found us, didn't you? Our own website is optimized using the exact techniques we deploy for clients. We also monitor AI citations across major platforms and provide regular reports showing where your business appears in AI-generated answers.
How quickly does AI search optimization work?
AI models update their knowledge continuously. Changes to your structured data and content can begin appearing in AI responses within 2 to 4 weeks. Building consistent AI visibility across multiple platforms typically takes 2 to 3 months of sustained optimization.
Do I still need traditional SEO?
Yes. AI search optimization works alongside traditional SEO, not instead of it. Google still drives the majority of search traffic, and strong traditional SEO provides the authority signals that AI models also rely on. We recommend both — and we offer both.
