AI Search Optimisation Gold Coast

AI search optimisation is the work that helps AI tools find, trust and recommend your business. It covers Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode, and assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity that search the web before they answer.

You may also hear it called GEO (generative engine optimisation) or AEO (answer engine optimisation). For us it's part of SEO, because the same foundations decide who gets recommended.

Mostly it's the same work, with a few additions. Google says optimising for its AI features is still SEO, so rankings, technical health, helpful content and a strong reputation all still matter most.

On top of that we test the questions your customers ask in the AI tools, give extra attention to answer-ready content and consistent business details, and track visits that come from AI tools.

No, and be wary of anyone who does. AI answers change from question to question and from person to person, and no agency controls them. What we can do is make your business the clearest, most trusted answer to your customers' questions, then show you the results every month.

Yes. Every SEO program is built for both Google's results and the AI answers above them. As a guide, programs range from $396 a month for small local businesses to $5,000+ a month for competitive and national campaigns. Your free report shows how visible you are today and recommends the program that matches your competition.

Three ways. We regularly ask the AI tools your customers' questions and record whether you're named and cited. Google Analytics shows visits that arrive from tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. And Google Search Console includes clicks from AI Overviews and AI Mode in your Google Search figures. It all goes into your monthly report.

It depends on what you want. If you block the crawlers AI tools use for search, such as OpenAI's OAI-SearchBot or PerplexityBot, those tools can't read your pages or link to them. Crawlers that collect content to train AI models, such as GPTBot, are separate, so you can block training and still be visible in AI search. We'll check your robots.txt and walk you through the options.

It isn't required. Google says there are no extra requirements or special optimisations needed to appear in its AI features, and llms.txt isn't part of its guidance. Some websites add one and it does no harm, but we focus first on what search engines have confirmed they use: crawlable pages, helpful content, structured data and a trusted reputation.

It depends on your industry and how strong your competitors are. Technical fixes and business details can be picked up within weeks, while the content and reputation that earn recommendations build over months, alongside your Google rankings. Your free report gives a realistic estimate for your market.
