In short
What does an AI SEO agency do?
An AI SEO agency makes your business visible inside AI-generated answers. When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google’s AI Overviews for advice or a recommendation, those tools summarise a few sources and name a few brands. Our job is to make yours one of them.
Measures how AI search sees you
We test the questions your buyers ask AI tools and record who gets mentioned, cited and recommended — you or your competitors.
Fixes what stops AI citing you
Crawler access, unclear brand facts, buried answers and missing structured data are the usual culprits.
Builds the signals AI trusts
Answer-first content, a well-defined brand entity and mentions on the sources AI answers draw from.
Tracks it over time
A fixed prompt set, re-tested regularly, so you can see whether visibility is improving.
Where your buyers now ask
- Google AI Overviews
- Google AI Mode
- ChatGPT
- Perplexity
- Gemini
- Claude & Copilot

FAQs
AI SEO agency questions, answered
What is an AI SEO agency?
An AI SEO agency helps businesses appear in AI-powered search — Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude — as well as traditional search results. The work covers technical access for AI crawlers, content that AI tools can cite, a clearly defined brand entity and the third-party mentions AI answers draw on.
What is the difference between AI SEO and traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO aims to rank pages in a list of results. AI SEO aims to have your brand mentioned, cited and recommended inside answers that AI systems generate. The foundations are shared, but AI SEO puts more weight on direct answers, entity clarity and brand mentions across trusted sources.
Can you guarantee my business will appear in ChatGPT or AI Overviews?
No. No one controls what AI systems say, and guarantees should be treated with caution. What we can do is measure your current visibility, fix what is within your control and track the results against a clear baseline.
How long does AI SEO take to work?
Technical fixes and restructured pages can be picked up within weeks. Building the authority and mentions that lead to consistent recommendations usually takes several months, much like traditional SEO.
How much does an AI SEO agency cost?
It depends on the size of your site, your market and how much work is needed. Most engagements start with a fixed-price AI visibility audit, followed by optional monthly work. See our pricing page for how packages are structured.
Do you still do traditional SEO?
Yes. AI search depends on the same foundations — crawlable, fast, well-structured sites with helpful content and genuine authority. We treat AI visibility and Google rankings as one programme, not two.
