(solution 03)found on Google and in AI answers
Buyers now search on Google, read the AI Overview, then ask ChatGPT or Perplexity to compare options. If your content is only written for one of those, you disappear from the others. We plan SEO, AEO and GEO as one system, from search intent to the content, structured data and monitoring that keep you visible.
(01)the problem
sound familiar?
- We publish regularly, but none of it ranks for the searches our buyers make.
- When we ask ChatGPT about our category, it names our competitors and not us.
- Our traffic has dropped since AI Overviews started answering the question on the results page.
- We have a blog, but no plan for what to write next or why.
(02)the system
how we fix it.
- 01Search intentThe questions and searches your buyers use at each stage, from first problem to shortlist, including the prompts they give AI assistants.
- 02Topic clustersThose searches grouped into pillar pages and supporting articles, so each page has one clear job and links to the rest.
- 03SEO + AEO + GEO contentContent written to rank, to answer the question directly and to be cited by AI assistants, from one plan instead of three.
- 04Structured dataSchema for your organisation, services, FAQs and articles, plus entity work so search engines and AI systems understand who you are.
- 05MonitoringRankings, answer boxes and AI mentions tracked alongside competitors, with the content plan adjusted to what is moving.

(05)what we measure
how you will know.

- rankings for target searches
- mentions and citations in AI answers
- enquiries from organic search
start small
Start with SEO if the site has technical problems or no clear page for each service, because content and AI visibility both depend on that foundation. If the basics are sound, start with AEO content for the questions buyers ask most.

(07)questions
found on Google and in AI answers, answered.
SEO is about ranking in search results, AEO is about becoming the direct answer in snippets and voice results, and GEO is about being cited by AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. They share most of the same groundwork, so we plan them together.
Make it easy for AI systems to understand and trust you. That means clear pages for what you do, content that answers real questions with specifics, consistent information about your business across the web, and structured data that names your services and expertise.
Yes. AI assistants and AI Overviews draw heavily on pages that are already well structured and found by search engines, so SEO is the base the rest stands on. What changes is how content is written: answer first, specific and easy to quote.
An initial audit and technical fixes are a fixed fee. Ongoing content, optimisation and monitoring are a flat monthly fee agreed up front, never hourly.
