Why This Happens
AI systems favour clear, well-structured, genuinely authoritative pages and lean heavily on third-party mentions — roughly 85% of brand mentions in AI search answers come from third-party pages, not the brand’s own website. A site that’s all self-promotion and no structure, with no outside citations, is easy for an AI system to skip.
How Our AI SEO & GEO/AEO Optimization Process Works
- An AI-visibility baseline: testing real buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode and Gemini to see where you currently stand.
- Answer-first content restructuring: direct 40–60 word answers up top, question-based headings, and short, extractable paragraphs.
- FAQ and comparison content built specifically for the formats AI systems cite most often.
- Entity clarity: making it unambiguous, near the top of every page, who you are, what you offer, who you serve and where you operate.
- Third-party ecosystem work — reviews, directory listings, local press and citations — since that’s where most AI-search mentions actually originate.
- A monthly share-of-model report tracking whether your visibility in AI answers is improving.

AI SEO & GEO/AEO Optimization FAQ
Can you guarantee my business will appear in ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews?
No — and any agency that promises this isn’t being straight with you. No one, including Google or any AI provider, controls what gets cited. What we control, and what we optimize for, is eligibility: making your site clear, well-structured and genuinely worth citing.
Does adding schema markup guarantee AI citations?
No. Recent guidance, including Google’s own documentation, states structured data isn’t required for AI Overviews, and a 2026 study found adding schema didn’t measurably increase AI citations on pages already visible there. We still implement schema for legitimate reasons — rich results eligibility and consistency — but we won’t sell it to you as an AI-visibility shortcut.
How do you measure AI search visibility?
We define a set of real buyer prompts (e.g. “best SEO agency in Cork”) and test them monthly across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode and Gemini, logging whether and how your business appears. This “share of model” score is reported alongside your regular rankings and traffic.
