FAQs
What is AI Search Optimization?
It is the process of improving a website’s technical, content and entity signals so it can be more clearly understood across traditional and AI-powered search environments.
What is AEO?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It means structuring content so that search features and AI assistants can pick out a clear, direct answer to a question, using concise answers, well-organized headings and accurate structured data.
What is GEO?
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimization. It focuses on making a brand’s information easy for AI systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews to understand, trust and cite, through clear entities, consistent facts and quotable passages.
Does AEO replace SEO?
No. Answer engine optimization builds on strong SEO, clear entities and useful content rather than replacing them. Both work together to improve how information is discovered and understood.
Can you guarantee my website will appear in ChatGPT or AI Overviews?
No. AI systems decide which sources to use, so no agency can guarantee inclusion. We can improve technical access, entity clarity and passage quality to make the site easier to understand and cite.
Do I need separate AEO and GEO pages?
Usually not. AEO and GEO rely on the same foundations as SEO: crawlable pages, clear entities and well-structured answers. That is why we offer them as one AI Search Optimization service rather than as separate programmes.
