Draft: waiting for Chris’s review before it’s final.

How we get businesses cited by AI search

When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Google’s AI Overviews for a recommendation, the answer names a handful of businesses. Getting into that list is now part of SEO, and it’s what people mean by AEO (answer engine optimisation) and GEO (generative engine optimisation).

Most people focus solely on articles and the website. Those still matter, but AI tools learn about a business from far more places than its own pages.

What we do

  • Chapter and title YouTube videos, so each section can be found and quoted on its own.
  • Create Reddit profiles and respond without self-promotion. Reddit threads are a major source for AI answers, and helpful replies build a profile that gets referenced.
  • Work on the site’s .txt files so crawlers, including AI crawlers, know what they can read.
  • Fix schema markup, the structured data that tells search engines and AI exactly who you are and what you offer.
  • Create pricing charts, comparison tables and articles with “About the Author” links and outlinks, the kind of content AI tools like to cite.

Measuring it

On top of this, our own AI visibility tracking tool reports on these numbers for you, so you can see when and where your business starts being named.
