SEO Consultancy for AI Search Readiness

Buyers ask AI before they Google. Be the answer it gives.

AI answers are eating the top of your funnel, and the shift is no longer gradual — it's the default. This consultancy engagement gets your brand ready for AI search: measured visibility across AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, and a concrete plan to become the source they cite instead of a link they skip.

The scale varies meaningfully by category, which matters for prioritising the work. Healthcare queries now trigger AI Overviews roughly 89% of the time; finance ranges from 91% for educational queries down to just 7% for stock-ticker lookups; B2B software buyers run an average of 17 AI search queries per week during a purchase process. Whatever your category, the honest first step is finding out where you actually sit — most brands I audit are somewhere between technically crawlable and entity-clear, which is progress, but well short of being the AI system's default cited source.

It combines an AI-readiness audit, entity and content fixes, and an ongoing AEO plan — the specific work that moves a brand from invisible to recommended inside the machines, not a generic checklist applied without regard for how differently AI treats different categories.

AI-search problems I solve

Losing clicks and mindshare to AI Overviews and chatbots without a clear diagnosis of why

AI engines that don't mention — or actively misdescribe — your brand when asked directly

Content that ranks well on Google but never gets cited by AI for the same queries

No measurement of your 'share of model' against named competitors

Uncertainty about whether the gap is access, entity clarity, or content structure

How readiness is built

AI-readiness audit

Score your crawler access, entity clarity, and answer-structure across 12+ real AI bots.

Entity + content fixes

Make your brand and answers legible and quotable to LLMs, not just technically reachable.

Ongoing AEO

Grow and track your share of AI answers over time, since the landscape shifts fast enough that a one-time fix decays.

Common questions

Is this different from normal SEO?+

It overlaps but optimises for being cited inside a generated answer, not just ranking — entity clarity, extractable structure, and trusted-source presence, layered on top of the SEO foundation that has to already be solid.

Can you measure AI visibility?+

Yes — via structured prompt sampling across engines, tracked consistently over time so the number is genuinely comparable month to month.

How fast can we see movement?+

Some fixes (crawler access, structured data) are close to immediate; citation growth compounds over months as corroboration and trust build, similar to how traditional authority accrues.

Does this matter equally across every industry?+

No — AI Overview prevalence varies sharply by category and even by query type within a category, which is exactly why the first step is measuring your specific situation rather than applying a generic playbook.
