How AI search optimization works
Built on strong SEO
Google says there are no extra requirements to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode: a page needs to be indexed and eligible to show in regular Search. So GEO starts with solid SEO. We make sure your important pages can be crawled, load quickly, explain your services in plain text and link to each other clearly.
Written so AI tools can quote you
AI answers pull short, clear statements from trusted pages. We rewrite your key pages so each section opens with a direct answer, add FAQs based on real customer questions, and state your services, locations and policies the same way everywhere. That helps AI tools describe your business correctly.
What is included in our AI search optimization service?
Every AI search project follows four stages, so you can see what we test, what we change and what improves.
We start by finding out how AI assistants describe your business today. We test the prompts your customers might use, such as “best accountant in Calgary”, in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode, and record whether you are mentioned, how you are described and which competitors appear instead.
- A prompt list based on your services, locations and customer questions
- Testing across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Mode
- A record of mentions, descriptions, citations and competitor appearances
- Checks for incorrect or outdated information about your business
- A baseline score to measure progress against
What you receive: a clear picture of your current AI visibility and the biggest gaps.
AI answer engines prefer content that is clear, factual and easy to quote. We update your key pages with answer-first sections, FAQs, comparison tables and specific facts, and fix technical issues that stop pages from being crawled or indexed.
- Answer-first summaries at the top of key service pages
- FAQ sections that match the questions people ask AI tools
- Comparison tables, definitions and clear factual statements
- Schema markup for your organisation, services and FAQs
- Technical fixes for crawling, indexing and page speed
What you receive: pages that are easier for AI systems to understand, quote and cite.
AI tools rely on consistent signals from across the web to decide who to trust. We align your business name, services, location and contact details across your website, Google Business Profile, directories and social profiles, and help you earn genuine reviews and mentions on trusted sites.
- Consistent business details across website, profiles and directories
- Organization and sameAs schema linking your official profiles
- Review generation that follows platform policies
- Mentions on relevant industry, local and media websites
- Author and company information that shows real expertise
What you receive: stronger, consistent trust signals that AI systems can rely on.
AI answers change often, so we keep measuring. Each month we re-run your prompt list, report changes in mentions and descriptions, and correct inaccurate information at its source wherever possible.
- Monthly re-testing of your prompt list across AI tools
- Tracking of mentions, citations and how you are described
- Alerts for incorrect information and steps to correct it
- Recommendations for new content and pages
- Combined reporting with your traditional SEO results
What you receive: monthly AI visibility reports with clear next steps.

AI search optimization FAQs
Answers to the questions business owners across Canada ask about showing up in AI search.
What is AI search optimization (GEO)?
AI search optimization, also called generative engine optimization (GEO), helps your business get mentioned and linked in AI answers, such as Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Copilot. It focuses on clear, trustworthy content, strong technical SEO and consistent brand information. Learn more about generative engine optimization.
How is GEO different from SEO?
They overlap heavily. Google says optimizing for its AI features is still SEO, because they use its core ranking systems. GEO adds focus on being cited, not just ranked. That means clear answers, original insight, strong brand mentions across trusted sites and accurate business information. Good SEO is the foundation, and GEO builds on it.
Can you guarantee my business will appear in ChatGPT or AI Overviews?
No one can. AI tools decide what to show, and their answers change from one search to the next. What we can do is improve the signals these tools rely on, such as helpful content, clean technical setup, structured data and trusted mentions, and then track how often your brand appears and is cited over time.
Do I need an llms.txt file or special schema for AI search?
Not for Google. In 2026, Google said you don’t need llms.txt files, special AI markup or content split into chunks to appear in its AI features. Regular structured data still helps with rich results and clarity. Some other AI tools may read llms.txt, so it’s low-risk to add, but it isn’t a shortcut. See schema markup for AI search.
How long does AI search optimization take to work?
Some changes, like clearer answers and fixed technical issues, can show up in AI answers within weeks, once pages are re-crawled. Building the trust and brand mentions that AI tools rely on takes longer, usually several months. Results also vary by tool, since each one uses different sources and updates at a different pace.
How do you track visibility in AI search?
We test a set of real questions your customers ask in tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Mode, then track how often your brand is mentioned, cited or linked. We also watch referral traffic from AI tools in Google Analytics. Reporting shows changes over time. Read more about AI search visibility.
Which AI tools do you optimize for?
We focus on the AI tools people use most to research and buy: Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity and Gemini. Each tool pulls from different sources, such as Google’s index, Bing’s index or its own crawlers. Our work covers the shared basics so you improve across all of them, not just one.
What affects the cost of AI search optimization?
Cost depends on how much content needs to be improved or created, the state of your technical SEO, how many topics and products you want to be known for, and how much outreach is needed to build trusted brand mentions. It’s often bundled with SEO. We send a written quote after a review.
