AI SEO Agency: Get Recommended by ChatGPT and Google AI
AI SEO helps your business get found and recommended in ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews, where more buyers now build their shortlist before they click.
Example ChatGPT answer for “who is the best roofer near me?”: Your Business is recommended first, then two other options, with yourbusiness.com as a source.
Example preview. Real results vary by question and assistant.
The basics
What is AI SEO?
Search is splitting in two. The blue links still matter, but more and more buyers now ask an AI first: Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity. The businesses those answers name make the shortlist before anyone clicks. AI SEO is the work of being the business the AI names.
It is built on the same foundation as strong SEO: a technically sound site, clear business details, genuinely helpful pages and proof from other sources. What changes is the emphasis. Structured data, answer-shaped content and mentions on the sites AI tools trust carry more weight than ever.
We do this work from San Diego for businesses across the US, and we start with ourselves: this site ships llms.txt, full schema and AI-crawler-friendly rules. One promise up front: nobody can guarantee an AI citation, and we would rather show you the work than sell you a buzzword.
Why it matters
How AI answers are changing search
AI answers cite, they don't rank
AI Overviews and chat assistants pull from pages they can read, trust and quote. For a growing set of searches, being the quotable source matters as much as being position one.
Local searches are already affected
Service searches increasingly open with an AI summary above the map and the blue links. The businesses named inside that summary skip the line.
It's SEO, pointed at a second audience
Nothing here replaces the fundamentals. AI SEO is the same technical and content work, with extra weight on schema, clear business details and pages written to be quoted.
The difference
How our AI SEO is different
The usual way
“Here's a screenshot of ChatGPT.”
- 01Shows one AI answer and calls it a result
- 02Sells AI visibility as a separate project from SEO
- 03Changes things without measuring where you started
- 04Can't tell you whether anything moved
How we do it
“Where do we show up, and what's missing?”
- 01A baseline first: the questions your customers ask, checked across ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI answers
- 02Repeated checks, because one answer is not a ranking
- 03One plan: the work that ranks you on Google also makes you easier to recommend
- 04Mentions and citations tracked over time, in plain English
What you get
What you get with our AI SEO
- 1
A visibility baseline
Where you show up today, question by question and engine by engine.
- 2
Fixes AI can read
Clear service pages, FAQs, schema and consistent business details.
- 3
Proof AI leans on
Reviews, listings and mentions that make you the safe recommendation.
- 4
Tracking over time
How often you are named and linked, and what changed.
How we measure
Measure your AI visibility, then improve it
We check the questions your customers actually ask, across ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI answers, several times each, because one answer is not a ranking. Then we connect what we find to your website, your content and your SEO.
- 01
Entity and schema groundwork
Organization, Service, FAQ and LocalBusiness markup that lets machines state who you are and what you do without guessing. This website is the working example.
- 02
Answer-shaped content
Pages and FAQs written to be quoted: real questions, direct answers, no fluff. AI engines lift passages, not pages, so every section stands on its own.
- 03
A technical foundation both audiences can crawl
Speed, clean structure and deliberate crawler rules. We set robots.txt and llms.txt so Googlebot and the AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot) can reach what matters.
- 04
Corroboration beyond your own site
AI engines cross-check your claims. Reviews, listings, directory profiles and mentions are part of the work: an AI that keeps finding you elsewhere starts naming you.

FAQ
AI SEO questions, answered
What business owners ask us about showing up in AI answers.
What does an AI SEO agency do?
An AI SEO agency gets your business found and recommended inside AI answers, in Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, not only in the classic blue links. We measure where you show up first, fix what keeps AI tools from understanding and trusting your business, and track the change over time.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT or Google AI will recommend my business?
No, and be skeptical of anyone who does. No agency controls what an AI model says. What we control is everything that raises the odds: clear business details, quotable pages, technical access for AI crawlers and proof from other sites.
Is AI SEO different from regular SEO?
Same foundation, different emphasis. Regular SEO earns positions in the blue links; AI SEO makes sure the answers built on top of those results name you. Most businesses need both, which is why they are one plan with us, not two.
What's the difference between AI SEO, AEO and GEO?
They are names for the same family of work. AI SEO is the broad term, AEO (answer engine optimization) focuses on being the answer to a question, and GEO (generative engine optimization) on being cited in AI-generated responses. Our AEO agency page goes deeper on the answer side.
How much does AI SEO cost?
Every SEO plan makes you AI-ready, from $1,000 a month: your profile, reviews and business details set up so AI tools can understand and recommend you. The SEO + AI Search plan, $2,000 a month, adds AI visibility tracking and content built to get cited. There is no separate AI fee: the work overlaps with SEO, and charging twice for one foundation is a red flag. See pricing.
How long before AI tools start naming us?
Expect months, not weeks, and it compounds. Businesses with existing reviews and authority tend to show up sooner; newer sites build toward it. We watch your presence in AI answers for the questions that matter and the growth in searches for your name.
Should I block AI crawlers from my site?
Not if you want to be cited. Blocking GPTBot or ClaudeBot keeps your content out of the answers you're trying to appear in. You can check this site's robots.txt and llms.txt to see how we set it up.
Will the AI name your business?
