Get your business recommended when customers ask ChatGPT and Google’s AI.
Customers increasingly ask AI tools a direct question instead of scrolling search results, and the AI answers with just a few names. AI search optimization is the work that makes yours one of them, explained in plain English, with a simple monthly check to show it.
- AI Search plan $600/mo
- AI answer articles $300 each
- Basic AI setup free with every site
What is AI search optimization?
AI search optimization means making sure ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, Gemini and Copilot recommend your business when someone asks them for help. When a customer asks an AI for the best roofer near Portsmouth, we work to make your name part of the answer. It builds on the same foundation as SEO.
You may hear it called AEO (answer engine optimization), GEO (generative engine optimization) or AI SEO. They all mean the same thing. You don’t need the acronyms: it’s simply part of how we build and run your website.
“Who’s a good roofer near Portsmouth, NH?”
AI answer
A few well-reviewed options near Portsmouth include Granite Coast Roofing, which specializes in asphalt and standing-seam roofs across the Seacoast…
Illustration. Granite Coast Roofing is a sample name, not a client.
How do I get my business to show up in ChatGPT?
AI tools recommend businesses they can clearly identify and confirm. That means a website that states your services, towns and facts plainly, pages that answer real customer questions, matching details on Google and other listings, and reviews and mentions elsewhere. We handle all of it and track whether the AI names you.
1 · Readable
Make your business easy to read
Clear service, town and contact facts on your site, plus structured data that tells AI tools exactly who you are and what you do.
2 · Quotable
Answer the questions customers ask
AI answer articles written so a clean, accurate paragraph about your business is ready to be quoted: costs, comparisons, how-tos and “who’s best” questions.
3 · Trusted
Back it up across the web
The same name, description and details on your Google Business Profile, LinkedIn and listings, so the AI finds the same story everywhere it looks.

How will I know if AI is recommending my business?
Every month we ask ChatGPT the questions your customers ask, like “best kitchen remodeler in Portsmouth,” and tell you whether you were named and who was named instead. It is a simple, honest check you can repeat yourself, and we report the months that move less than we hoped too.
Is AI search replacing Google?
Not replacing, but changing it. Google itself now shows AI Overviews above many results, and more people ask ChatGPT or Gemini directly. Most customers use both. That is why we don’t treat AI search as a separate gamble: it is built into the same website and SEO work that gets you found on Google.
FAQ
AI search questions
Is AI search optimization the same as AEO or GEO?
Yes. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and AI SEO are industry names for the same goal: getting your business named in AI-written answers. We call it AI search optimization because that is what it does, and you never need to learn the acronyms.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend me?
No. AI answers change and are controlled by the AI companies, and measuring them is still new. We say that plainly. What we can do is make your business easy for AI to identify and trust, and show you every month which engines name you and who they name instead.
Do I need SEO too?
They work best together, because AI tools lean on the same signals Google uses: clear pages, consistent facts and a trusted reputation. If budget allows only one, start with the one your free audit shows is weaker. Many owners choose the Growth package to cover both.
How long until AI tools start naming my business?
Early mentions can appear within the first few months, and engines tend to name a business more consistently from about months three to nine. Each AI tool updates at its own pace, and the monthly ChatGPT check shows you how it is moving.
