The 5 signals AI engines reward.

Common AI search questions.
The questions we get most from local service businesses researching AI search visibility — what AEO/GEO mean, how long it takes, what it costs, and whether it actually works.
Optimizes for blue-link rankings in Google’s SERP. Foundation for everything else.
Optimizes pages to be the cited answer inside AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and voice search.
Feeds entity, schema, content, and authority signals into every generative AI engine.
AI search visibility means showing up when your customers ask AI engines — ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, or Google’s AI Overviews — questions like “best HVAC contractor near me” or “recommend a plumber in Irvine.” The industry uses two terms: AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) for being the cited answer, and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) for the broader practice of feeding AI engines the entity, schema, and content signals they need. Both bolt onto your existing SEO program — they don’t replace it.
AI Overviews is Google’s AI-generated snippet that now appears on roughly 47% of searches, but it’s only one channel. AI search visibility also covers ChatGPT (which pulls live web results via Bing), Perplexity (which cites everything it answers), Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and Claude when web access is enabled. We optimize for all six in one program because the signal stack is largely shared — strong technical SEO and schema layered correctly compounds across every engine.
You don’t “rank” — you get cited. ChatGPT and Perplexity both pull live results, evaluate source authority, and choose 3–5 sources to ground their answer. To get cited consistently, you need: (1) a recognized entity (Knowledge Graph, sameAs links), (2) Schema-rich pages so the engine can extract clean facts, (3) authoritative third-party mentions earned through press releases and backlinks, and (4) content blocks written to be quoted. We build all four in parallel.
No. AI engines pull from the same web index Google ranks — so traditional SEO is the foundation. What changes is how that ranked content gets surfaced: instead of a click on result #1, the buyer sees an AI-generated answer that cites 3 sources. You still need on-page SEO, local SEO, and authority — but you also need entity, schema, and citable content blocks layered on top so AI engines can confidently quote you instead of a competitor.
SEO optimizes pages to rank in classic blue-link search results. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) optimizes pages to be the answer cited inside AI/featured-snippet/voice-search responses. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the umbrella term for feeding generative AI engines the entity, schema, content, and authority signals they use to construct answers. We run all three together — that’s our full SEO program — because the underlying levers (technical health, citable content, third-party mentions) are largely shared.
AI Overviews and Perplexity citations can move within 2–4 weeks of fixing schema and shipping citable content blocks because both engines pull live. ChatGPT and Gemini index more slowly — entity recognition (Knowledge Graph, third-party mentions) typically takes 60–90 days to compound. Our press release program accelerates this by seeding authoritative third-party mentions on day one. Most clients see citation rate climb from under 15% to above 60% within 90 days.
AI search visibility is priced as part of a bundled SEO program — we don’t sell it as a standalone audit-only product because the levers (entity, schema, content, citations, authority) only compound when run together. Pricing depends on industry competitiveness, the number of service areas, and current site health. The free audit reveals exactly which levers will move your scorecard fastest, and a senior strategist scopes a fixed-fee program based on the audit.
Yes — and local-service queries are some of the easiest to win because the competition pool is finite. AI engines lean heavily on Google Business Profile data, local citations, review velocity, and service-area schema for “near me” questions. Pair that with our local SEO program and a couple of authority-tier mentions from press releases, and contractors, plumbers, dentists, and auto-repair shops routinely show up as the cited answer in their service area within 60–90 days.
