AI Generative Engine Optimization

ChatGPT is recommending
your competitors.

When your customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini for the best business in your category, you're not the answer. We fix that.

The problem, in one screenshot

Your buyers ask AI. AI names someone else.

47% of consumers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini before buying. The AI gives them a list of names. If you're not on it, you don't exist.

Google SEO doesn't transfer. AI engines pull from entirely different signals — citation patterns, structured data, mention velocity. The firms cited are usually not the ones ranking #1 on Google.

How it works

Three steps. One outcome.

Get your business cited by AI when buyers in your category ask.

01

Audit

We query ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude with the exact searches your buyers run. You see, for every query, who gets named — and where the gap is.

02

Fix

Targeted content, citation campaigns, and schema work that the LLMs actually weight. Not SEO, not PR. A different playbook for a different search engine.

03

Track

Monthly visibility reports. You see your AI citation share rise across the queries you care about — same dashboard your competitors don't have.

Questions

The ones you're actually thinking.

How is this different from SEO?

Different search engine, different signals. Google rewards backlinks, on-page optimization, and Maps presence. LLMs weight authoritative citations (think Yelp, Reddit, niche directories), structured data, and how often you're mentioned in the same context as the query. The work doesn't overlap — you can rank #1 on Google and be invisible in ChatGPT. That's the norm right now.

What if I'm already doing SEO?

Even better — you have the foundation. SEO and AI search are complementary, not competing. The firms that win the next 2 years will run both. We don't replace your SEO team or agency; we run a separate playbook that compounds with what they're doing.

How long does it take to see results?

First citations typically show up in 30-45 days. Full top-10 query coverage takes 90 days. Citations are sticky — once you're in the training data and the LLM grounding sources, you stay there. SEO can take 6-12 months for comparable gains.

Who's the best fit for this?

Local service businesses where buyers research before buying — med spas, dental practices, law firms, fertility clinics, home renovation, financial advisors. If your customers spend more than 15 minutes researching before choosing you, AI is in that loop. If they pick whoever shows up first on Maps (emergency plumbing, food delivery), this isn't for you.

Can I see what AI says about me before I book?

Yes. Reply to the booking confirmation with your business name and category, and we'll run the queries before the call so you don't waste 5 minutes watching us type.
