Frequently asked questions
What is AI search optimization and how is it different from SEO?
AI search optimization (also called AEO and GEO) is the practice of optimizing your content to be cited by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google Overviews. Unlike traditional SEO that focuses on ranking in Google search results, AI optimization focuses on entity recognition, answer-first content structure, and schema markup that AI models use to source and cite information.
Who is this service for?
This service is for businesses that want to be the brand AI recommends when users ask questions in their industry. It is ideal for companies in competitive spaces where being cited by AI systems can drive significant visibility, credibility, and referral traffic. We also work with agencies that want to offer AI search optimization as a service line.
How fast will I see results from AI search optimization?
Entity optimization and schema updates typically affect AI citations within 4 to 8 weeks as AI models recrawl and re-index your content. Answer-first content and authority building compound over 2 to 4 months. AI citation tracking runs from day one so you see every appearance your brand earns.
Do I need to stop doing traditional SEO to do AI search optimization?
No. AI search optimization and traditional SEO complement each other. Many of the same signals, strong content, structured data, and domain authority, help you in both channels. We recommend running both strategies together. AI citations often drive referral traffic that improves your traditional search rankings as well.
How does pricing work for AI search optimization?
Pricing is scoped to your brand size, content volume, and competitive landscape. We do not offer packaged tiers because every brand needs a different level of entity work, content restructuring, and schema implementation. Book a free discovery call and we will provide a custom proposal based on your goals.
