Get your business quoted in ChatGPT and AI Overviews.

AI search engines answer the question before anyone clicks. I make your site easy for them to read, trust and cite, and I measure it in Search Console, Bing's AI Performance report and repeat prompt tests.

AI search work makes sense if

  • ChatGPT or Perplexity recommends your competitors when asked about your category
  • AI Overviews answer your main queries and your site is not one of the sources
  • AI engines describe your business with old or wrong details
  • Your pages rank on Google but never show up in AI answers
  • You see chatgpt.com in GA4 and want more of that traffic

What AI search optimization covers

Answer-first pages

Clear, quotable answers near the top of the pages that matter, written for people first.

Entity and schema signals

Organization, Person, Product and FAQ schema with sameAs links, so engines know who you are.

Crawler access

robots.txt, llms.txt and rendering checks so AI crawlers can actually read your pages.

Off-site sources

The directories, reviews and articles AI engines cite for your queries, mapped and prioritized.

Bing and Copilot

Bing's index feeds Copilot and ChatGPT search, so Bing Webmaster Tools gets real attention.

Measurement

Prompt tests repeated on a schedule, AI referral sessions in GA4 and citations in Bing.

How an AI search project runs

You work with me directly from the first message to the last report. Contracts, milestones and payment all run through Upwork.

  1. Prompt baseline

    We agree the questions your buyers ask, and I record what each AI engine answers today.

  2. Fix the site

    Answer-first rewrites, schema and crawler access on the pages AI engines should quote.

  3. Earn the sources

    Work on the third-party pages that AI engines already cite for your topic.

  4. Re-test and report

    The same prompts again, side by side, plus GA4 and Bing data.

Results from real dashboards.

Client names withheld. Each number is exactly what the screenshot shows.

AI Search Optimization questions

What is the difference between AEO and GEO?

Answer engine optimization (AEO) makes your content easy to lift as a direct answer. Generative engine optimization (GEO) makes your brand show up and get cited inside AI-written answers in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Overviews. In practice the work overlaps a lot.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT will mention my business?

No, and nobody honest can. AI answers change from one run to the next. What I can do is remove the reasons engines skip you and track how often you appear over time.

How do you measure AI search results?

Three ways: repeat prompt tests on a fixed list of questions, AI referral sessions in GA4 (chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai, gemini.google.com), and the AI Performance report in Bing Webmaster Tools.

Does normal SEO still matter for AI search?

Yes. AI engines lean on pages that are already crawlable, indexed and trusted. That's why I start every AI search project with a technical check.

Send me your site. I'll tell you what to fix first.

Hire me on Upwork for a fixed-price audit or ongoing work, or email me the URL and the searches you want to win. I read every message myself.
