AI Search · GEO & AEO

Be the answer when customers ask AI.

More customers ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews who to call before they ever scroll a list of links. We make your business easy for those assistants to find, read and recommend.

Ask an AI assistant "who's the best landscaper near me" and it doesn't hand back ten blue links. It names a few businesses and moves on. If yours isn't one of them, you never knew the customer was looking.

AI search optimization, also called GEO (generative engine optimization) or AEO (answer engine optimization), is the work of making your business the one those assistants can find, trust and cite. It builds on classic SEO and adds a second half most agencies skip.

What we check and fix

  • Can AI crawlers get in? GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google's crawlers have to be allowed in your robots.txt. Plenty of sites block them without knowing it.
  • Can they read the page? Most AI crawlers don't run JavaScript. If your services and prices only appear after a script loads, the assistant sees an empty page. We make sure every page ships its full text.
  • Is there an llms.txt? A plain-text summary of who you are, what you do and where you work, written for AI assistants to read first.
  • Is your structured data complete? Schema.org markup for your business, services, hours, service area and FAQs, so the facts are machine-readable instead of guessed.
  • Do your listings agree? Assistants also read Google Business Profile, Bing, Apple Maps, Yelp, BBB and dozens of directories. When they disagree on your phone, address or hours, the AI repeats the wrong one.
  • Does your content answer the question? Pages that plainly answer what customers ask, in their words, are the pages that get quoted.

The gap usually isn't on your website

When we audit a business, the website is often the easy part. The bigger problem lives off the site: an old phone number on one directory, a second address on a review site, a founding year that changes from listing to listing. AI assistants read all of it and repeat what they find. We find every conflict and hand you the exact fix, listing by listing.

We do it for our own clients first

The sites we build now ship ready for AI search: server-rendered pages, complete schema, open crawler access and an llms.txt. BDS Landscape Co and H & H Lawn Care both publish one today (BDS, H & H), and so does this site.

How it works

  • Audit. We ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google the questions your customers ask, and record who gets named. Then we check your site and your listings against everything above.
  • Fix. We fix your website directly. For listings, we hand you the exact edits or make them with you.
  • Recheck. We run the same questions again on a schedule and show you what moved.

If we built your website, most of the on-site half is already done. It pairs naturally with AI automation and an AI receptionist, so the customers an assistant sends your way get answered.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is AI search optimization?
It's the work of getting your business named when someone asks an AI assistant like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude or Google's AI Overviews for a recommendation. You'll also hear it called GEO (generative engine optimization) or AEO (answer engine optimization).
Is this different from SEO?
It builds on SEO. Google rankings still matter, because many assistants search the web before they answer. AI search adds the parts classic SEO skips: whether AI crawlers can reach and read your pages, an llms.txt, complete structured data, and the same facts about you on every directory assistants read.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?
No, and be wary of anyone who says they can. Nobody controls what an AI assistant says. What we can do is remove every reason for it to skip you or get your details wrong, and show you the before and after on the questions your customers actually ask.
How long does it take to see results?
Fixes on your website go live in days. Assistants and search engines pick up changes on their own schedules, so we recheck about a month later and keep checking from there.
What is an llms.txt file?
A plain-text file at yoursite.com/llms.txt that tells AI assistants who you are, what you do, where you work and which pages matter most. It's a newer convention, it's quick to add, and it gives an assistant a clean summary instead of making it piece one together.
Do I need a new website?
Usually not. Most fixes work on the site you have. If your site only shows its content after JavaScript runs, or you rent it from a builder that won't let you change it, we'll tell you plainly and show you what it would take.
