Pillar 01 · Organic Search

Be found in search, and inside the answer.

Two disciplines, one team. Technical SEO earns you the rank. Answer Engine Optimisation earns you the citation inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Both matter; most agencies only do one.

Two disciplines. One retainer.

Search results and AI answers are converging. You need to be present in both, and the work that earns one usually supports the other.

SEO

Technical and on-page authority.

Site structure, page speed, entity schema, internal linking, and content optimisation so Google understands and trusts your pages enough to rank them.

AEO

Answer-engine visibility.

Structuring your content so AI assistants quote you. Answer-first content, entity consistency, and schema that answer engines can parse and cite cleanly.

Answer engine optimisation for AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity

Internal linking architecture

Common questions

What is AEO?

Answer Engine Optimisation: structuring your content so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews surface and cite you. It runs alongside SEO, not instead of it.

How is AEO different from GEO?

On this site, GEO (generative-engine optimisation) is reserved for the Thought Leadership service, which measures citations of founder-attributed content. AEO here covers technical and on-page structuring of your service pages to earn AI citations.

How long until I see results?

Technical fixes can move quickly. Authority and ranking take three to six months to compound. Answer-engine citations typically follow after a site earns consistent organic authority.

Is local search covered here?

Local search and Google Business Profile management lives in our GMB Optimisation service. The two link together but are scoped separately.
