Search Optimisation (SEO + GEO + AEO)

Technical SEO, Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) working together to help your business rank in traditional search, appear in AI-generated responses, and become a trusted source across ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, Claude and Perplexity.

Who This Service Is For

If your website ranks on page two or doesn't appear in AI-generated answers for your industry, you have a visibility problem that design alone cannot fix.

Invisible Businesses

Companies with good websites that don't rank, don't appear in AI answers and don't generate organic leads.

Local Businesses

Businesses needing location-specific visibility in both search results and AI-generated local recommendations.

Competitive Industries

Companies in crowded markets where structured data and content clarity are the differentiators for discovery.

What We Deliver

SEO gets you found in search engines. GEO helps AI systems understand your business. AEO helps your content answer real customer questions. Together they create a website built for modern discovery.

Technical SEO Audit & Fixes

Comprehensive technical audit covering metadata, canonical URLs, heading hierarchy, page speed, mobile performance, crawl errors and indexation issues — then we fix them.

On-Page SEO Optimisation

Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, internal linking, image optimisation and keyword alignment — every page optimised for search intent.

Schema Markup Implementation

JSON-LD schema markup that gives search engines and AI systems explicit, validated facts about your business, services, location and expertise.

GEO Content Engineering

Content restructured for AI understanding — answer-friendly formatting, fact-first paragraphs, clear entity definitions and structured information that AI systems can confidently interpret and reference.

Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)

We optimise your content to answer the questions your customers actually ask. Clear question-and-answer sections, concise explanations, logical headings and supporting context help AI assistants deliver accurate responses while improving your visibility across modern search experiences.

Question-Focused Content

Modern users search by asking complete questions rather than typing keywords. We identify the questions your customers ask most often and create authoritative content that answers them clearly and directly.

FAQ & Answer Architecture

Important questions are organised into logical, easy-to-follow sections supported by structured data where appropriate. This improves readability for people while making answers easier for search engines and AI systems to understand.

Featured Snippet & AI Answer Optimisation

Key information is formatted using concise paragraphs, bullet points, comparison tables and descriptive headings that improve readability and increase the likelihood of appearing in featured snippets, AI Overviews and AI-generated answers.

Entity Clarity & Modelling

Your business name, services, location and expertise made unambiguous across all signals so search engines and AI systems never confuse you with competitors.

Performance Monitoring

Before-and-after audit comparisons, search visibility tracking and AI citation monitoring to measure the impact of every optimisation we make.

SEO vs GEO vs AEO — What is the Difference?

Traditional SEO

Search Engine Optimisation targets ranking positions in Google, Bing and other search engines. It focuses on:

  • Keywords — matching search queries to page content.

  • Technical health — page speed, mobile performance and crawlability.

  • Backlinks — authority signals from other websites.

  • Content quality — relevance, depth and freshness.

  • On-page optimisation — titles, headings, metadata and internal linking.

Goal: Rank higher in traditional search engine results.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation)

Generative Engine Optimisation helps AI systems understand your business and retrieve accurate information. It focuses on:

  • Structured data — JSON-LD schema that machines can interpret.

  • Entity clarity — unambiguous business identification.

  • Machine-readable content — structured information with clear context.

  • Fact-first writing — leading with clear factual information.

  • Semantic structure — logical organisation that AI systems can understand.

Goal: Help AI systems understand, retrieve and reference your business accurately.

AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation)

Answer Engine Optimisation focuses on helping your content answer customer questions clearly and authoritatively. It focuses on:

  • Question-led content — answering the questions people actually ask.

  • Direct answers — concise, factual explanations.

  • FAQ architecture — well-organised question-and-answer sections.

  • Content readability — formatting that's easy for both people and AI systems.

  • Answer authority — trustworthy, evidence-based information.

Goal: Increase the likelihood of your content being selected as the answer by search engines and AI assistants.

Why You Need SEO, GEO and AEO

People no longer discover businesses through search engines alone. They also ask questions directly in ChatGPT, Google AI Overview, Claude, Perplexity and other AI platforms. Modern visibility requires more than traditional SEO.

A technically sound website without structured content may rank well but remain difficult for AI systems to interpret. Likewise, content written for AI without strong technical SEO may never reach its audience through traditional search.

SEO improves your search rankings.

GEO helps AI systems understand your business.

AEO helps your content answer customer questions clearly and confidently.

Together they create a website that is discoverable, understandable and trusted—whether someone is searching Google or asking an AI assistant for recommendations.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What is GEO and how is it different from SEO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is about ranking in traditional search results — Google, Bing, and similar engines. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) is about being cited or referenced by AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and similar systems. These tools do not rank pages — they read, interpret, and summarise content. For your business to appear in those summaries, your website needs to be structured clearly, use consistent entity signals (your business name, location, services), and contain content that directly answers the questions your customers are asking. SEO and GEO overlap significantly, but GEO places more weight on schema markup, content clarity, and topical depth.

My website already ranks on Google. Does that mean AI tools will also find and cite me?

Not necessarily. Ranking on Google means your page met certain relevance and authority signals for that search engine's algorithm. AI tools interpret content differently — they look for structured data, clear entity definitions, consistent business information, and content that is unambiguous enough to summarise accurately. A site can rank well on Google while being almost invisible to AI assistants if the underlying structure is weak, the schema is missing, or the content is vague. Our Site Health Audit (via Tidua) specifically measures AI readiness alongside traditional SEO signals, so you can see exactly where the gaps are.

How long does it take to see results from GEO optimisation?

GEO is not a campaign with a fixed end date — it is an ongoing property of your website's structure and content. Structural changes like adding schema markup, clarifying your business entity, and improving content specificity can be implemented in days. Whether AI tools begin citing your business depends on how frequently those tools re-index content and how competitive your topic area is. Most clients see measurable improvement in AI visibility signals within 4–8 weeks of structural work being completed. Ongoing SEO + GEO optimisation ensures those signals are maintained and expanded over time.
