What is AI search optimisation?Copy answer
AI search optimisation is the work that gets your brand named and cited inside AI answers — ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude — not just ranked beneath them. Agile Ranker runs it with SEO from the same work, ships in two-week sprints, and tracks how often each engine names you.

SEO, AEO and GEO — one practice, three surfaces.
They share foundations, so we run them from the same work. What changes is where your buyer sees you — and what we measure.
| SEOSearch engine optimisation | AEOAnswer engine optimisation | GEOGenerative engine optimisation | |
|---|---|---|---|
| The question it answers | Where do I rank? | Am I quoted in the answer? | Does AI recommend me? |
| Where you appear | Blue links on Google and Bing | AI Overviews, featured snippets, voice | ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Mode |
| What it optimises | Pages, links, technical health | Answer-shaped content, structured data | Entities, citations, trusted sources |

02 · How AI engines choose
Four steps between a question and your name in the answer.
No engine publishes its formula. This is our working model from how retrieval-based answers are built — and we test it against your tracked prompts every week.
Can a model tell exactly who you are, what you sell and where — consistently, across your site, profiles and the open web?
What we doWe align your facts across site, profiles and directories, and add Organization schema.
Are you mentioned on the publications, directories and datasets models already retrieve from?
What we doDigital PR and listings on the sources each engine leans on for your category.
Do your pages state the answer plainly — definitions, comparisons, costs, steps — in a form that can be lifted and quoted?
What we doDefinitions, comparisons, cost and how-to pages written to be lifted whole.
Structured data, clean HTML, crawler access and an llms.txt, so retrieval systems can parse you without guessing.
What we doSchema, clean HTML, crawler access and llms.txt — checked every sprint.
Dated, maintained content and matching facts everywhere — stale or conflicting details get passed over.
What we doDated pages, a refresh rhythm, and one source of truth for your brand facts.
03 · Engine by engine
Five engines. Tracked separately.
Each engine surfaces brands differently, so we report each one on its own — and never blend AI visibility into your SEO numbers.
| Engine | Where your brand can show up | How often we check | What we record |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | In chat answers — and, with search on, as cited web sources. | Weekly prompt runs | Named · cited · linked |
| Google AI Mode & AI Overviews | AI summaries on Google results, linking to the pages they draw from. | Weekly prompt runs | Named · cited · linked |
| Gemini | Answers in the Gemini app, drawing on Google Search. | Weekly prompt runs | Named · cited · linked |
| Perplexity | Answers with numbered citations to web sources. | Weekly prompt runs | Named · cited · linked |
| Claude | Answers in Claude — with web search, as cited sources. | Weekly prompt runs | Named · cited · linked |

Questions
AI search, answered plainly.
Short answers first. If yours isn't here, a 30-minute call is the fastest route — no pitch, no deck.
Book a 30-minute callWhat is AI search optimisation?
It's the work that gets your brand named and cited inside AI answers — ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude. It combines AEO, which gets you quoted in answers, and GEO, which gets assistants to recommend you.
Is AEO and GEO different from SEO?
SEO ranks your pages in a list of links. AEO and GEO get you inside the answer that increasingly replaces the list. They share foundations — technical health, content, authority — so we run them from the same work rather than as competing budgets.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend us?
No — and nobody honestly can. AI engines retrieve and select sources dynamically. We commit to a measured baseline, a tracked prompt set, work shipped every sprint and honest reporting, including where nothing moved.
How long before AI answers change?
First deliverable in 1–2 weeks. Early movement in AI answers often shows at 4–8 weeks, with a trend worth acting on by 8–12. It depends on your category and starting point, which the baseline shows.
Which AI engines do you track?
ChatGPT, Google AI Mode and AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude — the five engines your buyers are most likely to ask.
What do you need from us?
A 45-minute kickoff, access to your site and analytics, and one approval round per sprint. After that, a monthly review call and a live backlog you can check any time.
Do we need to rewrite our whole website?
No. We start with the pages buyers' questions actually land on, fix the entity facts, and add answer-shaped pages where gaps exist. Most sites need targeted changes, not a rebuild.
Is the website really free?
Yes. Every monthly plan includes a free 5-page website for your business — fast, AI-readable and yours to keep. It goes live within 48 hours once your plan is active and the launch checklist is done. Your domain, hosting and any paid tools sit outside the offer and stay in your name; online shops and booking systems are quoted separately. What's included
