What is AI search optimisation?

AI search optimisation is the work that gets your business cited inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. It is also called generative engine optimization (GEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO). The two overlap. GEO focuses on how large language models generate an answer. AEO focuses on how AI tools pick which business to quote. We work both at once, using SEO fundamentals plus AI-specific schema, quotable content blocks, and structured answers written to be cited verbatim.

Proof

Two clients, two Google AI Mode citations — verified April 2026

We do not sell AI search optimisation as a theory. Two of our three local SEO clients are being cited by name in Google AI Mode right now. You can verify both live — Google the queries yourself.

Two clients. Two different cities. Two different industries. Both cited by name in Google AI Mode. This is what AI search optimisation Abbotsford produces. The Google AI Mode citation Abbotsford moment arrives after the Google AI Overview optimization Abbotsford work is done — not before.

Who it's for

Who AI search optimisation is built for

AI search optimization services Abbotsford are built for small business owners whose customers are starting to ask Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini before they ever visit a website. If someone types “best plumber in Abbotsford” into any of those tools and gets an answer that does not mention your business, you are losing leads you would have won two years ago. Harman runs every engagement personally — an AI SEO expert Abbotsford small businesses can actually talk to.

We work with plumbers, HVAC crews, general contractors, dentists, real estate agents, law firms, restaurants, renovation contractors, dog daycare operators, and landscaping teams. Most of our clients have between one and twenty employees. Most spend between $300 and $800 a month on marketing. Our small business AI SEO Abbotsford work is built for those numbers on purpose.

AI search is where small businesses have the biggest upside, because Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT answers are built from entity signals — not only from ad budget. A narrow, well-structured local site can beat a national brand inside an AI answer when the intent is local.

What we do

What AI search optimisation actually covers

Four platforms. Four overlapping sets of signals. We optimise for all of them together because a customer who asks Perplexity tomorrow may ask Gemini next week.

Google AI Overview optimisation

Google AI Overview optimization is the largest surface — about 30% of US and Canadian queries now return an AI-generated answer above the ten blue links. Getting cited there means FAQPage schema, speakable markup, clear question-and-answer structure, and entity signals Google already trusts. Our Super Sanitation and Paws by the River wins both came through this work. The AI Overview optimization layer is where most of our Growth-plan hours land.

ChatGPT SEO

ChatGPT SEO Abbotsford is a different game. ChatGPT reads trusted third-party mentions — directory listings, review sites, authoritative press — far more than on-site copy. Our ChatGPT SEO services Abbotsford work is 60% off-site entity reinforcement and 40% on-site structured content. We also add llms.txt to your site so AI crawlers know which content you want them to cite.

Perplexity and Gemini SEO

Perplexity SEO Abbotsford and Gemini SEO Abbotsford share about 80% of the same levers: real citations from named sources, clear topical depth, and content written in quotable 40–60 word blocks. Perplexity SEO services Abbotsford also means making sure your site is crawlable by Perplexity's PerplexityBot — we check and configure access.

Schema + speakable + llms.txt — the technical AI layer

The technical layer ships with every engagement. FAQPage JSON-LD for every page. Speakable schema on the passages we want AI tools to read aloud. Entity markup. An llms.txt file declaring how AI crawlers can use your content. This is the plumbing AEO depends on. Most Abbotsford agencies skip it entirely. We also vet which generative engine optimization tool and answer engine optimization tools make sense for your scale — some generative engine optimization course claims are hype; we only use the ones that actually move citation rates. Real answer engine optimization examples come from monthly reporting, not vendor decks. We run generative engine optimization Abbotsford and answer engine optimization Abbotsford work as two coordinated tracks inside one plan.

Transparent pricing

Straight answers

Frequently asked AI search optimisation questions

What is AEO vs SEO?

AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) is the work that gets your business cited inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. SEO is the work that ranks you in Google’s ten blue links and the Map Pack. The answer engine optimization vs generative engine optimization vs SEO stack: SEO is the foundation, GEO shapes the generated answer, AEO earns the citation. You need all three. Our AI search optimisation Abbotsford plans bundle them on Growth at $697/month.

What does AEO stand for?

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimisation — the practice of structuring content so AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Mode can deliver your business as the direct answer. In plain English: AEO makes your page quotable. It uses 40–60 word answer blocks, FAQPage schema, speakable markup, and trusted entity signals. Super Sanitation and Paws by the River are both cited by name in Google AI Mode from this exact work (verified April 2026).

Will AEO replace SEO?

No. AEO sits on top of SEO, not instead of it. You still need fast sites, clean schema, strong Google Business Profile, and real reviews to rank anywhere — Google AI Mode reads the same signals as Google Search. Think of it as evolution, not replacement. Doing AEO without the SEO foundation is like adding a roof to a house with no walls. That is why our Growth plan covers GEO Abbotsford, AEO Abbotsford, and classic SEO together.

How to rank on AI search results?

Five levers move AI search rankings: (1) FAQPage schema on every relevant page, (2) speakable markup on quotable passages, (3) 40–60 word answer blocks written to be quoted verbatim, (4) strong entity signals from trusted third-party mentions, and (5) an llms.txt file declaring how AI crawlers should use your content. Google AI Overview optimization is the biggest single surface. Two of our three local SEO clients now show up in Google AI Mode by name — proof the levers work.

Is SEO dead or evolving in 2026?

SEO is evolving, not dead. Google AI Overviews now appear on about a third of searches, and ChatGPT plus Perplexity send real traffic to sites structured for AI. What is new is AEO and GEO — the layers on top of classic SEO that earn you the citation inside the AI-generated answer. If you are running SEO in 2026 without AEO, you are leaving the fastest-growing search surface to competitors. Our Growth plan bundles both for $697/month. Full pricing.
