Traditional SEO remains essential.
Google rankings, organic traffic, technical performance, content and backlinks still matter enormously. But search behaviour is expanding beyond traditional search engine results.
Someone looking for a supplier may now ask:
And instead of clicking through ten Google results, they may receive an AI-generated answer containing a small number of businesses.
AI SEO is about increasing the likelihood that your business becomes one of them.
AI SEO is also sometimes described as Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) or LLM optimisation. While the terminology varies, the objective is the same: helping your business become more visible wherever customers use search and AI to find answers, compare providers and make decisions.
Your search strategy increasingly needs to consider visibility across multiple platforms.
Google AI Overviews
AI-generated responses appearing directly within Google’s search results.
Google AI Mode
Conversational Google search experiences that allow users to research topics through more detailed follow-up questions.
ChatGPT
Increasingly used for research, recommendations, comparisons and purchase decisions.
Google Gemini
Google’s AI assistant, connected closely to its wider search and information ecosystem.
Perplexity
An AI search platform built around answering questions using referenced online sources.
Microsoft Copilot
AI-powered search and assistance integrated throughout Microsoft’s products and Bing ecosystem.
Claude
A growing AI platform frequently used for research, analysis and recommendations.
You don’t need separate strategies for every platform.
You need a strong, authoritative and clearly understood digital presence that gives these systems better reasons to reference your business.
Improving AI visibility requires more than one optimisation. Our AI SEO services combine search analysis, content, technical SEO, entity optimisation and digital authority to strengthen how your business is discovered and represented across AI-powered search.
AI Visibility & Competitor Auditing
Before making changes, we establish where your business currently appears across AI search and where competitors are gaining visibility instead.
Included
AI Search Content Optimisation
We optimise existing content and identify new opportunities around the topics, questions and decisions your customers are researching through AI-powered search.
Included
Entity & Structured Data Optimisation
AI systems need to clearly understand who your business is, what you offer and how your services, people and expertise are connected.
Included
Technical AI Discoverability
Strong AI visibility still depends on strong technical SEO. We help ensure important website information can be efficiently accessed, crawled and understood.
Included
Digital Authority & Brand Mentions
AI systems learn about businesses from sources beyond their own websites. We strengthen the third-party authority signals supporting your wider digital presence.
Included
AI Visibility Tracking & Reporting
Traditional rankings alone don’t show how your business is performing in AI-driven search. We track the signals that give you a clearer picture of changing visibility.
Included
We establish where your business currently appears across AI-powered search, how it is represented and where competitors are gaining visibility.
We identify the commercially relevant topics, prompts, citations, content gaps and authority opportunities that should shape your strategy.
We improve website content, technical and entity signals while strengthening the external authority supporting your brand.
We monitor changing AI visibility, citations and competitor performance, then refine the strategy as search behaviour develops.
There isn’t one universal AI ranking position. We use a combination of visibility, traffic and commercial indicators to understand whether your search presence is improving.
Brand Mentions
How frequently your business is included within commercially relevant AI-generated responses.
Citations
Whether AI platforms reference your website or authoritative third-party sources connected with your business.
AI Share of Voice
How frequently your brand appears compared with the competitors competing for the same customer.
Competitor Visibility
Which competitors are being surfaced, cited and recommended where your business currently isn’t.
AI Referral Traffic
Visits reaching your website directly from AI platforms and emerging search experiences.
Leads & Search Performance
How AI visibility, organic traffic and search improvements contribute to enquiries, conversions and commercial growth.
AI search has changed where customers find information, but it hasn’t made traditional SEO obsolete.
Many of the strongest signals supporting AI visibility are already fundamental parts of good SEO.
Our approach combines:
A dedicated AI SEO campaign goes further by adding deeper AI visibility analysis, competitor prompt research, citation analysis and ongoing AI search measurement.
AI search may be evolving, but the foundations behind strong search visibility are not. Our AI SEO services build on the same technical, content and authority expertise that already drives measurable organic growth for our clients.
Organic traffic growth for a financial services campaign competing in a saturated search market.
Increase in non-branded visibility through long-term SEO and authority development
Return generated through integrated SEO and paid acquisition strategy.
AI search is evolving quickly, so your strategy needs room to evolve with it.
Our AI SEO services are delivered through flexible month-to-month retainers focused on measurable visibility improvements, transparent delivery and commercially relevant opportunities.
We focus on long-term partnerships built around performance, transparency and continuous improvement, not fixed commitments.
AI SEO is not a shortcut or a completely separate marketing discipline. We combine proven SEO expertise with the additional analysis, authority and measurement required for modern AI-powered search.

AI SEO is the process of improving how your business is discovered, understood and represented across AI-powered search experiences such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity.
AI SEO should be viewed as an ongoing organic growth strategy rather than a quick advertising channel. Some technical and content improvements can influence visibility relatively quickly, while stronger authority, citations and competitive visibility usually build over time.
Generative Engine Optimisation, or GEO, is one term used to describe optimisation for generative AI search. AI SEO is a broader, more easily understood term that can include GEO, Answer Engine Optimisation, LLM optimisation and established SEO techniques.
Answer Engine Optimisation, or AEO, focuses on making information easier for search engines and AI systems to understand and use when responding directly to questions.
AEO overlaps heavily with both traditional SEO and AI SEO.
No agency can guarantee that ChatGPT or another AI platform will recommend a particular business.
We improve the content, technical foundations, entity signals and wider digital authority that can influence how your business is discovered, understood and represented.
This answer is important. It immediately separates Big Fat Digital from people selling unrealistic guarantees.
Absolutely.
Technical SEO, content quality, internal linking, structured data, backlinks and website authority remain fundamental to search visibility.
AI SEO builds on these foundations rather than replacing them.
No.
Using AI software to help complete SEO tasks and optimising your business for visibility within AI-powered search are two different things.
Our AI SEO service focuses on improving AI search visibility, not mass-producing AI-generated content.
Our strategies consider major AI-driven search and discovery platforms including Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot.
Rather than relying on isolated tricks for individual platforms, we strengthen the underlying search, content and authority signals that support visibility across them.
Depending on the campaign, we can measure brand mentions, citations, AI share of voice, competitor visibility, referral traffic, traditional organic performance, enquiries and conversions.
