ChatGPT Gemini Perplexity AI Overviews

Search has split in two. Half of discovery now happens inside AI answers — and those engines only recommend brands they can read, trust and cite.

AEO is the discipline of making sure that brand is you. It’s the freshest edge in search for 2026.

What's included

Engineered to be cited, not just ranked.

We make your brand machine-readable, authoritative and quotable for the engines reshaping discovery.

Entity & schema engineering

Structured data and entity modelling so AI understands exactly who you are and what you do.

Answer-shaped content

Content formatted to be extracted, summarised and quoted — the shape engines reward.

Citation & mention building

We seed the authoritative third-party sources that LLMs pull their answers from.

LLM visibility tracking

We monitor how often — and how — ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity surface your brand.

Knowledge-graph optimisation

Wikidata, Google Knowledge Panel and entity signals that anchor your brand’s identity.

AI crawlability

Technical access for AI crawlers so your best content is actually ingestible by the models.

How we work

From invisible to
cited by name.

01

Visibility audit

We map how AI engines currently see — or ignore — your brand across the questions that matter.

02

Entity & content strategy

We fix how machines understand you and shape content built to be quoted and attributed.

03

Build & seed citations

We earn the authoritative mentions and structured signals that feed AI answers.

04

Track & refine

We measure share-of-answer across engines and iterate toward consistent citation.

Why AEO now

The brands AI names today win the buyers of tomorrow.

AEO is an emerging discipline — the indicators below are illustrative of the visibility we engineer toward as AI answers reshape how buyers find and shortlist providers.

Questions

AI search, answered.

What exactly is AEO?+
Answer Engine Optimisation is the practice of getting your brand surfaced and cited inside AI-generated answers — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews — rather than only ranking in traditional blue-link results.
Does traditional SEO still matter?+
Absolutely. AEO builds on SEO foundations — strong content, authority and technical health all feed AI engines too. We treat them as one connected strategy, not competing channels.
How do you measure AI visibility?+
We track how often your brand appears in answers across the major engines for your key questions, how you’re described, and which sources are cited — then work to grow your share of those answers.
How long does AEO take?+
It’s a newer, faster-moving space. Some entity and structured-data wins register quickly; building durable citation authority is an ongoing effort, much like links in SEO.
Which engines do you optimise for?+
The ones your buyers actually use — primarily ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity — with an approach that adapts as the landscape evolves.
