why ai search matters right now.

60%+
of Google searches now trigger AI features

AI Overviews are appearing on the majority of informational searches. if you're not in them, you're losing visibility.

1 in 3
people now use AI tools to find businesses

ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini are becoming discovery tools. your customers are asking them who to hire.

Zero-click
searches are rising fast

AI answers mean users get what they need without clicking. being the cited source is the new page one.

Early mover
advantage is still available

most businesses haven't started optimising for AI search yet. now is the time to get ahead of your competitors.

search has changed. your strategy needs to as well.

for years, seo meant ranking on page one of Google. that still matters. but search has fundamentally shifted. Google now generates AI answers at the top of the page for millions of queries. and a growing number of people skip Google entirely, asking ChatGPT or Perplexity to find them a business.

geo is how you stay visible in this new landscape. it's not about replacing traditional seo — it's about extending your reach to every place your customers are searching. we're one of the few south west agencies that takes this seriously, and we're already getting results for our clients.

google ai overview optimisation

chatgpt & llm visibility

when someone asks ChatGPT to recommend a business in your industry, does it mention you? we build the content depth, citations and brand mentions that make AI language models recommend your business.

perplexity & ai search engines

Perplexity, You.com and other AI search engines are growing fast. we optimise your content to appear as a cited source in these platforms, putting you in front of an increasingly tech-savvy audience.

google gemini optimisation

Google's own AI assistant, Gemini, pulls answers from across the web. we make sure your content is structured, authoritative and comprehensive enough to be the source Gemini turns to.

conversational content creation

AI search is driven by natural language questions. we research the exact questions your customers are asking AI tools and create content that directly answers them, making your business the go-to source.

schema & structured data

advanced schema markup tells AI systems exactly what your business does, who you serve, and what makes you credible. this is the technical backbone of strong AI search visibility.

e-e-a-t & authority building

AI tools favour content that demonstrates real Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trust. we build your brand's authority through in-depth content, expert authorship and credible citations.

entity recognition & brand mentions

AI search engines build a picture of your brand from mentions, citations and references across the web. we grow your entity footprint so AI systems know who you are and trust what you say.

we track how your business appears in AI search results across platforms, reporting on citation frequency, AI overview appearances and how your visibility is growing over time.

geo works best alongside traditional seo.

frequently asked questions.

what exactly is geo?

geo stands for generative engine optimisation. it's the process of optimising your online presence so that AI-powered search tools — like Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini — cite and recommend your business. as more people use these tools to find products and services, geo is becoming as important as traditional seo.

is geo different from seo?

they overlap significantly — strong traditional seo (good content, authority, technical health) is the foundation for good geo too. but geo has its own specific tactics: structured data, conversational content formats, entity building, and optimising for the way AI tools evaluate and cite sources. we recommend doing both together.

does my business actually need this?

if your customers use Google, the answer is yes. AI Overviews now appear on the majority of informational searches. and if your customers are younger or tech-savvy, there's a good chance they're already using ChatGPT or Perplexity to find businesses. the question isn't whether AI search matters — it's whether you want to be visible in it.

how do you measure success in ai search?

we track citation frequency in AI Overviews, monitor how your brand appears in responses from ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini, and report on changes in organic traffic from AI-driven sources. it's a newer discipline so measurement is still evolving, but we give you clear, honest reporting on what's working.

can i get geo as a standalone service?

yes — we offer geo as a standalone service or as part of a combined seo and geo package. for most businesses we recommend the combined approach, since the two disciplines reinforce each other. get in touch and we'll recommend the right option for your situation.

how quickly will i see results?

some improvements — particularly around AI Overview appearances — can happen within weeks of implementing the right content and schema changes. broader authority building and AI search visibility tends to grow over 3-6 months, similar to traditional seo.
