Frequently Asked Questions about AI Search Optimization
Questions? Answered.
Straight answers about AI search optimization. Still have a question? Email us.
What is AI search optimization?
AI search optimization is the practice of making your business easy for AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews to find, understand, trust and recommend. It combines answer-first content, structured data and trusted mentions across the web.
What’s the difference between AEO, GEO and AIO?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) structures content to win direct answers and snippets. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) builds the authority that makes AI tools cite you. AIO (AI Optimization) makes your whole site machine-readable. Our service covers all three.
How do I get my business mentioned by ChatGPT?
AI tools mention businesses they can clearly understand and that trusted sources talk about. That means accurate, consistent information across the web, helpful answer-first content on your site, good reviews and structured data. We build all of these signals step by step.
How is AI search optimization different from SEO? Do I still need SEO?
SEO helps you rank in Google’s list of links. AI search optimization helps you get named inside AI answers. They work together: AI tools often draw on pages that already rank well, so strong SEO remains the foundation.
Does AEO help with voice search?
Yes. Voice assistants like Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant read out short, direct answers. Answer-first content and FAQ structure make your pages much more likely to be the answer they choose.
What is schema markup, and what is an llms.txt file?
Schema markup is code that tells search engines and AI exactly what your business, services and FAQs are. An llms.txt file is a simple guide for AI tools that summarizes your site and points them to your most important pages.
How do you measure AI search visibility?
We regularly test a set of real customer prompts across major AI tools and record whether your business is mentioned or cited, and how it’s described. You get a clear monthly report showing changes over time.
How long until results show in AI answers?
Some improvements, such as fixing inaccurate information, can show within weeks. Building consistent mentions usually takes 3 to 6 months. AI tools update on their own schedules, so we focus on steady, measurable progress.
