AI SEO Services
Get found and cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — not just the ten blue links.
AI SEO in short: AI SEO is optimising your content and brand so AI search systems, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, can find, understand and cite you. Contomatix audits where you appear, restructures content for direct-answer extraction and builds the mentions these systems draw on.
Overview
We check where your brand currently shows up (and doesn’t) across the major AI platforms, then close the gap: restructuring content so it can actually be extracted and cited, and building the brand mentions and citation-worthy signals these systems weigh most heavily. This runs alongside classic SEO rather than replacing it — the same well-structured, genuinely useful content tends to win in both places, just measured differently.

How It Works
-
1
AI visibility audit
We query ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity with the real questions your customers ask, and log whether your brand appears, and which competitors get cited instead.
-
2
Structure for extraction
Existing and new content gets restructured with direct-answer openers, clear headings, and FAQ sections — the same discipline that wins featured snippets, applied to AI citation.
-
3
Build citation-worthy signals
We build the brand mentions, original data points, and third-party citations that AI systems weigh alongside — and sometimes above — raw backlinks.
-
4
Re-check & report
Visibility is re-checked on a set cadence, with a plain report on what changed: new mentions, new citations, and where a competitor is still winning the slot.
What AI SEO is
AI SEO is the practice of making a brand and its content easy for AI systems to retrieve, understand and quote. These systems answer questions by combining a model with sources they find, so the pages and mentions they can find about you determine how you appear.
It builds on classic SEO. Content that is clear, factual and well structured tends to perform in both traditional results and generated answers.
AEO, GEO and LLM SEO: the terms explained
Answer engine optimisation focuses on being the direct answer to a question. Generative engine optimisation focuses on being cited inside a generated response. LLM SEO is a common name for optimising for large language model assistants. In practice the work overlaps: clear answers, structured pages, trusted mentions and measurable visibility.
How content is structured for extraction
Pages are organised around the questions people ask, with the direct answer placed first, followed by supporting detail. Headings state the question or topic, lists and tables hold comparisons and FAQs answer follow-ups in plain language.
This helps both people and machines. A passage that stands on its own, with the entity named and a clear claim, is easier to lift into an answer.
Brand mentions and citation signals
AI systems weigh how and where a brand is described across the web. Consistent, accurate descriptions on relevant and trusted sources help models associate your brand with its topics. We build mentions and citations on sources these systems actually draw from.
AI SEO FAQs
What is AI SEO, exactly?
It’s the practice of optimizing content and brand signals so AI systems like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity find, trust, and cite your content in their generated answers — not just optimizing to rank on a classic results page.
Does this replace traditional SEO?
No. It builds on the same foundation — quality content, technical health, and authority. The emphasis shifts toward clarity, direct answers, and citation-worthy signals, but a site with no SEO foundation won’t succeed at either.
How do you measure whether it is working?
Keyword rank isn’t the metric. We track whether your brand gets mentioned when we query the major AI platforms with realistic customer questions, and whether unlinked brand mentions are increasing across the sources these models draw from.
Is this the same as answer engine optimization (AEO)?
AEO is one part of it — optimizing for a specific answer slot inside search itself. AI SEO also covers GEO (being cited inside a fully generated chat response) and general LLM visibility, which work slightly differently. See our guide to <a href="/blog/answer-engine-optimization-aeo-guide-2026">AEO vs SEO vs GEO</a> for the distinction.
How much does AI SEO cost?
It depends on your current visibility gap and how much content needs restructuring. Get in touch for a free AI visibility check and a quote based on what we actually find.
Do you guarantee my brand will be cited by ChatGPT?
No, and any provider that does is overselling. AI models choose sources based on their own evaluation of trust and clarity, which we can influence, not control. What we do guarantee is a genuine, tracked effort against the signals known to matter.
What is generative engine optimisation (GEO)?
GEO is optimising content so it is included and cited in answers generated by AI systems. It overlaps with AEO and with classic SEO, and relies on clear, well-sourced content and a trusted brand presence.
What is LLM SEO?
It is optimising your content and brand for large language model assistants, so that they can retrieve, understand and mention you when users ask related questions.
How do I check if ChatGPT mentions my brand?
Ask the assistant the questions your customers ask, in several wordings, and record whether your brand appears and how it is described. Repeat on a schedule because answers vary.
Does schema markup help AI search?
Structured data can help machines parse a page, so it is useful where it describes visible content. It is not a guarantee of citation.
Does AI SEO replace link building?
No. Links and mentions remain part of how a brand is recognised. AI SEO adds content structure and visibility measurement on top.
How often should AI visibility be re-checked?
Monthly is a sensible cadence, because AI answers change as models and sources change. Compare against the previous month and note shifts.
