Get Your Business Found in AI Search

GeoVize helps small and local businesses get cited inside AI answers from ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Gemini. I pair Answer Engine Optimization with the classic SEO that keeps you ranking where customers still search.

Any of this sound familiar?

  • You asked ChatGPT for a business like yours in your own town, and a competitor two towns over came back instead.
  • You rank first on Google for the thing you do, and you have never once been named in an AI answer.
  • Your phone still rings, so nothing looks broken, and you have no way to see the calls that went somewhere else.
  • Somebody built your site to look good, and nobody built it to be read by a machine.
  • You have heard AEO mentioned enough times to feel behind, and not once in plain enough language to act on.

If two of those landed, the rest of this page is worth your time. None of it means you are behind. It means the way customers find you changed, and nobody told you.

I publish my own numbers

Most people selling AI visibility will not show you theirs. I ran my own check on geovize.ai and published all of it, including the parts that went badly.

1 of 3

One engine out of three names my business. My site is close to perfect on the things I control, and that buys exactly one of three.

ChatGPT

Names GeoVize first when asked who does AI search visibility work near Brunswick, and ranks it above four established local agencies.

Perplexity

Names me personally through an old Upwork listing and never mentions the business. Says it found no established Brunswick provider centred on this work.

Google AI Mode

Does not name the business at all. Names agencies in Atlanta, Gainesville, Buford and Dawsonville instead.

Updated monthly as I build the outside citations, so you can watch whether the thing I sell actually works.

The Future Is Now: Is Your Brand AI-Visible?

AI-powered search is changing how people find answers. The number of US adults using generative AI as their main way to search is projected to more than double by 2028, and Google’s AI Overviews already sit at the top of a fast-growing share of results. If your content isn’t structured for these AI answers, your brand goes missing at the moment someone is deciding.

Mass adoption

Google’s AI Mode passed one billion monthly users within a year of launch, and its queries have more than doubled every quarter since. The places people go for answers are shifting fast.

New rules

Pew Research found 60% of Google searches starting with a question word produced an AI summary, against 8% of one- or two-word searches. Most summaries name three or more sources. If you are not one, you are not in the conversation.

Lasting edge

Ahrefs found just 38% of AI Overview citations came from pages ranking in Google’s top 10, down from 76% a year earlier. Getting cited no longer requires outranking anyone. That is the opening, while competitors are still debating whether AI search matters.

How Does Answer Engine Optimization Work?

Here is how the work goes, in three steps.

01

Visualize

I audit your site and map the entities the AI tools connect to your brand, so the gaps become obvious.

02

Optimize

I rebuild your pages with question-led copy and clean schema, plus the trust signals that make AI engines comfortable citing you.

03

Be Seen

You start earning citations in AI answers while climbing the classic organic results at the same time.

What the first month actually looks like

Day one

You send your business name and your website. Nothing else, and no call required.

Within a few days

Your AI Visibility Check in writing. Whether you show up, who shows up instead of you, and which sources those tools cite. If the findings say you do not need me, they will say that.

Before any paid work

I scope it in writing with a fixed price and what is included. You approve it or you do not.

Weeks one to four

Business Profile and NAP work comes first because it moves fastest. Profile and directory fixes can change what AI tools say inside two to four weeks.

Month three onward

Content and schema compound more slowly, usually three to six months. I would rather tell you that now than at the end of a quarter.

AI-Search Leadership

Early to Answer Engine Optimization, using entity mapping and question-led structure, backed by schema, to earn citations in AI answers.

Human-First Lens

Every click is a person, not a metric. I write the content myself so it keeps visitors engaged and ready to act.

Full-Funnel Visibility

Classic search rankings and AI-answer visibility working together so you show up wherever your customers are looking.

No Hype, Just Results

No guaranteed-placement promises and no inflated numbers. I build the signals that genuinely move AI visibility and show you exactly what changes.

Built for Local Business

The whole approach is shaped around small and local businesses, from how I scope the work to how I report it, so nothing is oversized for what you actually need.

Classic SEO Meets Answer Engine Optimization

Two columns feeding one AI answer. Half one, on your site: schema markup, structured data, llms.txt, question-led content, crawlable HTML. Half two, everywhere else: Google Business Profile, consistent name, address and phone, directory records, reviews, mentions on sites models read. Both feed the AI answer, where one or two names come back. Most providers sell you the left column. The right column is where the answer is decided.

Great rankings still matter, but AI summaries now sit above them. I pair human-first SEO fundamentals with AEO tactics so you win in both.

What Classic SEO DoesHow AEO Supercharges It
Targets keywords that drive clicksAdds entity-rich language the AI tools understand
Builds authority through backlinksUses schema and question-based H2s to earn AI citations
Optimizes on-page experience and Core Web VitalsPositions concise passages for zero-click answers
Builds local and branded visibilitySecures mentions inside AI Overviews and AI chat answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of structuring your website content so AI-powered search tools like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini cite your brand directly in their answers. AEO uses entity-rich copy and question-based headings, backed by schema markup, so large language models can easily extract and quote your pages. It is sometimes called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and the two terms refer to the same practice.

What’s the difference between AEO and traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO focuses on ranking in the classic ten blue links. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) layers on the techniques that get your content cited inside AI summaries, like entity mapping and question-first headers supported by structured data, so you appear in Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT answers while still ranking organically.

Will AEO replace my current SEO?

No, AEO enhances classic SEO rather than replacing it. The strongest results come from doing both together, and GeoVize handles both. You’ll keep your organic rankings, usually improving them, while gaining a new layer of AI visibility.

Does AEO work for small and local businesses?

Yes, and small and local businesses often see the fastest gains. AI tools frequently recommend nearby providers when someone asks for help in a specific area, so a well-structured site with clear service and location details can start surfacing in those answers quickly. GeoVize focuses on exactly this kind of local and regional visibility.

How do I know if my business is already showing up in AI search?

The simplest check is to ask the tools directly. Open ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google and ask the kind of question a customer would, then see whether your business gets named. For a fuller picture, GeoVize runs a visibility review that scores how often your brand appears across the major AI platforms and shows you where the gaps are.

Do you use AI to write content, or real humans?

I write every word. AI gets used for research prompts and outline ideas, and that is where it stops. Every published piece is written and edited by me, which is what protects your brand voice and the E-E-A-T credibility AI engines reward.

Can you guarantee my business will be cited by ChatGPT or AI Overviews?

No honest provider can guarantee a specific citation, because the AI platforms control their own outputs and change them often. What I can do is build the signals that make citation far more likely, then track your visibility over time so you can see real movement. Be cautious of anyone promising guaranteed placement in AI answers.

How fast can I expect results?

Most clients see their first AI citations or measurable ranking lifts within four to eight weeks, depending on site authority and how much content needs to be optimized. Full AEO maturity, where your brand becomes a default citation across multiple AI platforms, typically takes three to six months.
