How I Get You Cited in AI Answers

AI search runs on the same foundations as SEO, plus a few new rules. Here's the playbook I use.

  • Visibility baseline
    • Find out what AI tools say about you todayI run your real customer questions through ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and AI Overviews and record who gets mentioned, who gets cited and what's said about you.That baseline shows where the gaps are across SEO, AEO and GEO and gives us something concrete to measure against.What I doPrompt sets built from real buyer questionsShare of voice against your top competitorsAccuracy check on how AI describes youCitation sources mapped, so we know who AI trusts
  • Query fan-out
    • Cover the questions behind the questionAI tools don't run a single search. They split a prompt into many sub-queries and pull the best passage for each one. I map those fan-out queries for your topics and make sure you have a clear, quotable answer for every one.More on how this works in my query fan-out deep dive.What I doFan-out query mapping for your core topicsAnswer-first sections with clear headingsComparison, pricing and how-to contentPassages written to be quoted
  • Entity and schema
    • Make your brand easy for machines to understandAI models need to know exactly who you are, what you do and where you do it. I tighten your entity signals: consistent business details, Organization and Person schema, sameAs links and profiles on the sites models learn from.What I doOrganization, Person, Service and FAQ schemaConsistent name, address and phone everywhereBrand profile and knowledge panel buildingsameAs links to your trusted profiles
  • Crawler access
    • Let the right AI bots inIf GPTBot, ClaudeBot or PerplexityBot can't reach your pages, you can't be cited. I check robots.txt, CDN and firewall rules, set up llms.txt and make sure your key pages render without heavy JavaScript.What I dorobots.txt rules for AI crawlersAn llms.txt file for your key pagesCloudflare and firewall bot settings checkedServer-rendered content on key pages
  • Brand mentions
    • Earn mentions on the sources AI trustsAI answers lean on reviews, roundups, forums and industry publications. I find the sources that keep getting cited in your space and work to get you mentioned there through digital PR, listings and outreach.What I doCitation source analysisDigital PR and roundup outreachReview and directory coverageMonthly tracking of new mentions

    Why My Approach Works

    AI search is new. The fundamentals behind it aren't.

    Built on real SEO

    AI Overviews and most AI answers still pull from pages that rank. I treat AI search as SEO with new rules, not magic.

    Measured, not guessed

    Prompt tracking shows when you start getting mentioned and cited, and by which tools.

    Researched in public

    I publish my GEO and AI search research, so you can see how I think before you hire me.

    No gimmicks

    No fake reviews, AI spam sites or prompt tricks. Those tactics get brands filtered out.

    Strengthens your SEO

    Everything I do for AI visibility also helps your Google rankings.

    Month-to-month

    No long contracts and no setup fees.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    SEO gets you ranked in search results. AEO (answer engine optimization) gets your content pulled into direct answers like featured snippets and AI Overviews. GEO (generative engine optimization) gets your brand mentioned and cited by tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. They overlap heavily, so I work on all three together. Here's why generative engine optimization matters even if you already invest in SEO.

    No. AI answers change from one prompt to the next and nobody controls them. What I can do is make you the most quotable, best-documented option in your space and track how often you're mentioned and cited over time.

    I track a set of real customer prompts every month across the major AI tools and record mentions, citations, sentiment and share of voice against your competitors.

    Yes. Most AI answers draw on pages that already rank well, so AI search optimization works best on top of a healthy SEO foundation. See my SEO services.

    llms.txt is a plain-text file that points AI tools to your most important pages. It's cheap to set up and a sensible step, but on its own it won't get you cited. Content, entity signals and mentions do the heavy lifting.
