Why it matters
AI answers name a few businesses, not a page of ten.
A Google search shows a list. An AI answer usually names two or three businesses and explains why. If the facts about you are thin, mixed up or missing, you're not one of them.
- 01
Facts AI can't find
Services, areas, hours and who you work for hidden in images, PDFs or vague copy, so AI tools fill the gaps with guesses or skip you.
- 02
Details that don't match
A different phone number on Facebook, old hours on a directory, a trading name that changed. AI tools cross-check, and mixed signals cost trust.
- 03
Claims with no proof
"The best in Cornwall" means nothing to an AI answer. Reviews, results and real examples it can check do.
- 04
No answers to real questions
Customers ask full questions now. If your site never answers them plainly, AI tools quote someone else's site that does.

Clear facts, in the places AI tools check.
There's no secret trick to AI search. Google says it needs no special files or markup. What it rewards is the groundwork done properly: a site that's easy to read, facts that match everywhere, and proof that holds up.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What are AEO and GEO?
AEO (answer engine optimisation) is making your business the clear answer to the questions people ask, in Google's answer boxes, voice assistants and AI answers. GEO (generative engine optimisation) is making sure AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews can find, trust and mention your business when they write an answer. They overlap a lot, and both sit on top of good SEO.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?
No, and nobody honestly can. AI tools decide for themselves, and their answers change. What we can do is make sure everything they find about you is clear, correct, consistent and backed up, which gives you the best chance of being named.
Do I need special AI files or a separate AI version of my site?
No. Google says there are no special files or markup needed for its AI features, and showing AI tools different content from what people see breaks Google's spam rules. One clear, honest website that serves both is the right approach.
Is this different from local SEO?
It's built on it. Your Google profile, reviews, listings and website are what AI tools read. AI search work adds a focus on plain answers, clear facts and proof that can be checked, so it's part of every local SEO plan we run.
How do I know if AI tools mention my business?
We ask them, the same way your customers would, and check what comes back for the searches that matter to you. Some AI tools also send visits you can see in Google Analytics, such as ChatGPT links tagged with chatgpt.com.
How long does it take?
Fixing facts on your own site and profile can be picked up within weeks. Being mentioned more often builds over months, alongside your reviews and rankings, and it needs keeping up as competitors improve.
