AI search optimization (GEO)
Get your business recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI.
More buyers now ask AI tools who to hire or what to buy. I make sure those tools can find, understand and trust your business, so you are the name they recommend.
What I do
Make AI tools understand and trust your brand.
AI visibility audit
I test how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and Google AI Overviews describe your business and competitors today, and where you are missing.
Entity and schema setup
Organization, Person, Service and Product schema with sameAs links, so AI models connect your brand to the right facts.
llms.txt and crawler access
An llms.txt file and robots rules that let AI crawlers read your best pages.
AI-ready content
Clear answers, comparison pages, FAQs and facts written the way AI tools quote and summarise them.
Brand mentions
Listings, directories, reviews and community answers that AI models use as trusted third-party sources.
Tracking
Monthly checks of whether AI tools mention and recommend you for your key questions.
How it works
From invisible to recommended.
Test
I ask AI tools the questions your customers ask and record who gets recommended.
Fix the foundations
Schema, llms.txt, crawler access and key pages.
Build trust signals
Content, listings and mentions across the sources AI tools rely on.
Track
Re-test monthly and report what changed.

Questions
AI search optimization FAQs
What is AI search optimization?
It is the work of making your business easy for AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews to find, understand and recommend. It is also called GEO (generative engine optimization) or AEO (answer engine optimization).
Is this different from SEO?
It builds on SEO. Good SEO is the base, then AI optimization adds entity data, AI-friendly content and the third-party mentions AI tools rely on.
What is llms.txt?
A simple file at the root of your website that gives AI tools a clean summary of your business and links to your most important pages.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend me?
No one can guarantee what an AI model says. I improve the signals these tools use and track the results monthly.
Which AI tools do you test?
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Google AI Overviews.
