7 to 184 clicks a month, and 374 calls in 6 months
Brand new site, zero paid ads. 1.57K clicks and 115K impressions over 16 months, and 374 calls from Google Search and Maps in the first half of 2026 alone, from people who needed a plumber now.
For businesses that want to be the answer, not just a link
Get named when customers ask AI who to choose.
AI SEO services help your business get named and cited when people ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews for a recommendation. That means clear answers on your pages, schema, a consistent brand footprint across the web and mentions on sites AI tools trust, built on top of the regular SEO that still drives most customers.
AI tools pull their answers from pages and sites they already trust, so AI SEO is not a trick on top of your site, it is solid SEO done in a way machines can read and quote.
ChatGPT / Claude / Perplexity / Google AI Overviews / Gemini / Copilot
Each money page opens with a clear, quotable answer to the question your customers ask, then the detail, so AI tools can lift it and cite you.
Business, service, product, review and FAQ schema, plus the same name, details and description everywhere, so AI tools know exactly who you are. The same groundwork as my technical SEO services.
AI tools lean on directories, reviews, comparison lists and industry sites. I get your business listed and mentioned where they look.
Reviews that describe the work and the result give AI tools something to quote when someone asks who is best nearby.
For local businesses, AI answers lean heavily on your Google Business Profile, so it ties straight into my Google Maps SEO work. Ask an AI assistant for an emergency electrician nearby and the names it gives tend to have strong profiles and reviews, so profile work now pays off in AI answers too.
The same real customer questions checked in ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews each month, so you can see where you are named and where you are not.
Same work, three names
AI SEO also goes by answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO). The names are new, the work is the same: be the clearest, most trusted answer. Every plan includes it, from my local business SEO to ecommerce.
AI SEO, AEO and GEO are included in every plan.
REAL CLIENTS, REAL NUMBERS
AI search is new, so these four case studies show the SEO foundation AI tools draw on: sites that rank and bring in customers from Google.
Brand new site, zero paid ads. 1.57K clicks and 115K impressions over 16 months, and 374 calls from Google Search and Maps in the first half of 2026 alone, from people who needed a plumber now.
Launched with nothing, no clicks, no impressions. 2.09K clicks and 86K impressions over 16 months, and 370 calls from Google Search and Maps in the first half of 2026. No ad spend.
Urgent service where whoever ranks first takes the call. Tracked in SerpFox: one term from ~90 to top 3, another from 26 to 2nd, a third from the 50s to 2nd.
My first ever SEO project, my mom's salon. Grew to 1.19K clicks and 48K impressions, reaching positions 1-2 on Google for the searches that bring in clients.
AI answers change from one question to the next, so a single screenshot proves nothing. A good AI SEO report checks the same set of real customer questions every month, in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, and shows where your business is named, next to your Google rankings and the customers they bring.
Monthly SEO Report
AI SEO, month 6Example report
| Keyword | Start | Month 6 |
|---|---|---|
| Named in ChatGPT for your main service | No | Yes |
| Cited in Google AI Overviews | No | 3 of 10 searches |
| Main money keyword on Google | #18 | #5 |
Rows show the report layout with example results. The calls and ad spend are real figures from the electrician and plumbing case studies.
Plenty of agencies rebranded as AI SEO agencies overnight and sell it as a separate, expensive add-on. To me it is part of good SEO, so it is included in every plan, done by the person you talk to. Be wary of anyone who promises a guaranteed spot in ChatGPT.
Working with me
One specialist, start to finish
Typical agency
Sales team, account managers, juniors
Three steps, starting with what AI tools say about you today.
First I ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google the questions your customers ask, and record who gets named and why. Then I check your pages, schema and mentions against the businesses that show up, and you get a plan before any work starts.
Then I fix what keeps you out of the answers: pages without a clear answer at the top, missing or broken schema, details that do not match across the web, and gaps in the sites AI tools rely on.
Then I build trust month by month: mentions on trusted sites, reviews that describe the work, and pages that answer new questions as they come up. Your report checks the same questions every month next to your Google rankings.
A few simple rules, so you know exactly what to expect. They keep the work on results, not meetings.
A short intro call, then a second call where I walk you through your audit and plan. After that, things stay simple over email, and I reply within a day.
One clear report on the same date every month: your money keyword rankings, the calls they bring and the links I built.
Work starts once I have access to your Google Business Profile and main listings. It takes about 20 minutes.
If your site holds you back, I rebuild it once around the services you want to rank for. One review round, no endless redesigns.
A simple agreement, not a 12-month contract. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice, because it has to work for both of us.
Your website, content, profiles and accounts stay in your name. If we ever stop working together, you keep all of it.
If that sounds like how you like to work, send me your site. Book an Intro Call
AI SEO is included in every plan, from $2,000 a month, month to month. There is no separate AI add-on, because it runs on the same pages, schema and links as your regular SEO.
$2,000/month
One location in a normal market.
For competitive markets
$3,500/month
For businesses competing in busier local markets.
from $5,000/month
Several locations or franchise networks.
Need a new website? SEO-first rebuilds are a one-time setup fee, quoted on your roadmap call.
AI answers are one more place customers find you, on top of Google. Put in your numbers to see how many extra customers or sales a month cover the plan.
1. Your numbers
What one customer is worth to you over time: the first sale plus repeat business and referrals.
Fill in both and your LTV updates above.
What you keep from each sale after the costs of delivering it (labor, materials, product or service costs). Leave at 100% to judge on revenue.
Out of 10 leads from search and AI answers (calls, forms, bookings, demos), how many become paying customers?
Nobody can promise an exact number, and AI search is still new. Try a few. I will give you a realistic range on the intro call.

2. What it is worth
0Extra leads / month to break even
That is all it takes for SEO to pay for itself. Could Google bring you that many more a month?
If SEO brings 0 leads a month
0% return on the plan
Want a second opinion? I will check these numbers with you on the intro call, honestly.
An estimate from your own numbers, not a promise of results. SEO usually takes 4 to 12 months to build up.
The questions people ask about showing up in AI answers.
AI SEO is the work that helps your business get named and cited in AI answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews: clear answers on your pages, schema, consistent business details and mentions on sites those tools trust.
Not really. Answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO) are other names for the same goal: being the answer an AI tool gives. The work overlaps almost completely.
No. AI answers change from one question and one user to the next, and nobody controls them. What I can do is make your business the clearest, most trusted option and track how often it gets named.
No. AI tools pull from sites that already rank and are trusted, and Google still brings most customers. AI SEO builds on regular SEO rather than replacing it.
Any business people research before they buy. Software buyers ask ChatGPT for tool shortlists, which my SaaS SEO plans for, and shoppers ask which product to pick, a question my ecommerce SEO specialist work answers with clear product data.
Many agencies sell AI SEO as a separate retainer. With me it is included in every plan, from $2,000 a month, month to month.
