IF ANY OF THESE STATEMENTS RELATE TO YOUR SITUATION, AI SEO MAY BE WHAT YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS

Common Problems We Encounter...

Your business is missing from AI Overviews, ChatGPT or Gemini when customers search for products or services you offer

Reporting still focuses on rankings and traffic, but does not show how AI search is affecting visibility, demand or enquiries

Search behaviour is clearly changing, but there is no clear plan in place for how your brand should respond to the shift

Your SEO strategy is still focused on Google rankings, while competitors are starting to appear in AI-generated answers

Customers are researching and comparing suppliers before they ever visit a website, but your brand is not visible at that stage

Useful content exists on your website, but it is not structured clearly enough for AI platforms to extract, summarise or cite

Q. What is AI SEO and GEO?

A.

To put it simply, AI Optimisation (AIO) and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) represent the next evolution of search engine marketing – a very similar way to how Google and the internet originally replaced physical business directories, such as Yellow Pages.

While traditional SEO focuses on ranking algorithms for platforms like Google and Bing, GEO and AIO focus on optimising your brand’s digital footprint so it is accurately understood, synthesised, and correctly recommended by Artificial Intelligence.

A lot of the criteria required to rank in both AI overviews (that section automatically generated at the top of Google) and LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity etc.) falls in line with traditional search engine optimisation.

Q. Is GEO replacing traditional SEO?

A.

No, GEO builds on top of traditional SEO fundamentals. AI models and search features rely heavily on Google’s index, high-quality site architecture, and strong domain authority to pull their sources. If your standard SEO is weak, an AI engine is highly unlikely to trust your data. Think of GEO as the advanced layer that reformats your strong SEO foundation so machines can easily extract and cite it.

Q. Why do I need an agency for this instead of using generic AI writing tools?

A.

Anyone can use an AI tool to write copy, but optimising a website for AI requires technical execution. An expert agency handles the deep, technical backend adjustments, such as complex schema markup, structuring data to match LLM extraction patterns, monitoring your AI footprint, and shifting your content strategy from “keyword stuffing” to building multi-layered topical authority.

Q. Even if I rank in AI overviews won't AI summaries continued to steal my traffic?

A.

It is true that basic, surface-level queries (e.g., “what is SEO?”) will continue to see lower click-through rates, because the AI answers it on-screen. However, for complex B2B, industrial, or high-consideration purchases, users click the cited links to verify data or finalise a purchase. By securing the citation “Position Zero” in the AI box, you capture the highest-value traffic before a user ever scrolls down to standard organic results.

Q. Can you really measure AI SEO performance?

A.

Yes, although AI SEO performance needs to be tracked differently from traditional SEO. Tools such as GA4 can show traffic, leads and sales that come directly from AI platforms, but traditional analytics do not always capture when an AI engine recommends your brand without a click. This means GEO needs a broader measurement approach.

At boxChilli, we use industry-leading tools to monitor how often your brand appears across AI platforms, which topics and prompts you are visible for, and how your share of voice compares against competitors. We then map this against analytics data where possible, helping bridge the gap between AI-led discovery, website visits, enquiries and conversions.

AI measurement is still evolving, but by combining AI visibility tracking, citation monitoring, prompt testing and traditional analytics, we give clients a clearer and more useful view of how their brand is performing as search behaviour changes.

Q. Will I get a dedicated account manager?

A.

You will have a dedicated point of contact who takes the time to understand your business and remains easy to work with, acting as your main liaison while coordinating a team of experienced AI SEO, technical SEO and development specialists behind the scenes to keep everything organised and moving forward.

Q. How much does GEO cost and what affects pricing?

A.

AI SEO and GEO pricing varies according to your objectives, competitive landscape and the scope of work involved, and our focus is not on being the lowest-cost provider. We work with businesses that understand digital marketing as an investment and want it to deliver measurable returns in leads, sales and long-term growth. During the discovery call, we’ll have an open conversation about budget, determine what level of investment is appropriate and be honest from the outset if we do not believe the fit or opportunity is right.

Q. How often will I receive updates or reports?

A.

Communication is kept simple and reliable, giving you a clear view of progress at all times. Monthly reporting covers performance, insight and priorities, supported by regular conversations to ensure everything stays on track. When priorities change or new opportunities appear, we flag them early and explain what they mean for your strategy.

Q. How quickly will I see results?

A.

AI SEO is a longer-term investment, and the pace of results depends on competition, current performance and how established your website already is. Early progress within the first 3 months is often seen through technical improvements and clearer citation focus, with more meaningful gains in visibility, enquiries and sales building gradually as authority increases.

Q. What types of businesses do you typically work with?

A.

We work with ambitious SMEs, founders and marketing teams across the UK who want AI SEO to support measurable growth rather than just activity. With experience in hospitalitytravel and tourismprofessional servicesretail and lifestylerenewable energyindustrial and engineeringhealthcare or events and entertainment, our work is shaped around your commercial goals and the realities of your sector. This approach works best for businesses that treat digital marketing as a strategic investment, value clear collaboration and want results-driven delivery instead of short-term wins.

OUR APPROACH TO AI OPTIMISATION

In a fast-moving area like AI search, it can be difficult to know which agencies genuinely understand GEO and which are simply following the latest trend. Our approach is built on proven SEO foundations, technical experience and a clear understanding of how search behaviour is changing. We focus on the areas that actually influence AI visibility, from prompt research and LLM benchmarking to website structure and citation-ready content, giving you a clear process for how we get your brand found and recommended.

1

Conversational Prompt Mapping

People are no longer searching with short keywords alone. They are asking AI tools full questions, such as “Which company is best for X?” or “Compare these options for me.”

We don’t guess how your customers use AI, backed by one of the largest prompt research databases available, we build data-driven GEO strategies designed to capture high-intent buyers and drive actual sales.

2

LLM Visibility Benchmarking

If you’re already an established business, chances are AI engines are already citing you. We don’t take credit for your existing success; our job is to maximise it.

By running an initial benchmark audit, we establish an honest baseline of your current AI footprint, allowing you to measure the direct revenue and visibility we add over time.

3

Machine-Readable Structure

If AI bots can’t extract your data, you don’t exist. We optimise your site’s technical backend specifically for AI crawlers. This includes building advanced JSON-LD schema markup to establish clear “entity signals” (who your brand is, what you sell, who your experts are).

We also make sure the site architecture is conducive to effective crawling and readability for AI bots to understand who you are, what you offer and to emphasise your expertise.

4

Citation-First Content Restructuring

AI engines don’t read content like humans; they extract and chunk it. We reorganise your high-impact pages into a modular, “citation-ready” format.

We mirror the blueprint AI models use to crawl websites and provide the exact descriptions they’re looking for, feeding them the precise data structures they need to confidently cite your business.

5

Off-Site Trust Footprint

AI models cross-reference information to verify facts. If ChatGPT finds your claims on your website but nowhere else, it won’t trust you enough to cite you.

We execute digital PR and strategic mentions on authoritative external surfaces (industry directories, forums like Reddit, and other important publications) to solidify your brand as a verified “entity” in the AI’s training data.

6

Information Freshness Cycles

The freshest data wins the citation. AI engines constantly prioritise updated content to avoid serving stale information to users.

We implement regular content updates to core service pages, data points, and pillar content to ensure you stay top-of-mind for retrieval engines.

7

AI Attribution & Citation Tracking

Traditional analytics don’t track when an AI engine recommends your brand without a click, meaning GEO requires a new approach.

We monitor your share of voice inside AI platforms, then map that data directly against your analytics to track incoming AI traffic. This bridges the gap, giving you a transparent user funnel from the initial conversational search to the final conversion.

At boxChilli, we have two decades of experience in helping businesses navigate digital change, from the early days of Ask Jeeves through to Google Business Profiles, local search, algorithm updates and now AI-led discovery. By combining strong organic foundations with practical AI SEO and GEO strategies, we help your brand become easier to find, understand and recommend across AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini and other conversational platforms, giving you a clear, grounded approach to AI visibility without the hype.

Proven SEO Experience, Applied to AI Search

AI search may be new, but the foundations behind being found, trusted and chosen online are not. Since 2006, we’ve helped businesses adapt through major changes in search and discovery, from keyword-heavy SEO through to Google updates, local search and now AI-led discovery.

We Don’t Jump on Trends

There’s a lot of noise around AI SEO, with new teams and agencies claiming to do it all. Our approach is different. We focus on what actually affects visibility, including strong technical foundations, useful content, clear brand signals and the wider trust footprint AI platforms use to understand your business.

Built Around How Customers Now Search

People are no longer searching in short, simple keywords alone. They are asking longer questions, comparing options and expecting direct answers. We map these search behaviours and shape your content around the real prompts, questions and decision points your customers are using.

An In-House Team Behind the Strategy

AI SEO touches technical SEO, content, digital PR, analytics, website structure and wider brand visibility. With an in-house team of more than 30 specialists, we can bring these areas together rather than treating AI optimisation as a standalone bolt-on.

TRANSPARENT COMMUNICATION, ALWAYS

Working with boxChilli means knowing what’s happening and why. From the very first interaction, we keep communication clear and proactive so that you’re never in the dark about what’s going on. You’ll have a dedicated account manager, regular planning sessions and transparent reports, so there are no gaps or guesswork. If something’s not working, we’ll explain it. If we see an SEO opportunity worth exploring, we’ll bring it to you first.

Reporting That Reflects the New Search Landscape

Traditional SEO reports do not always show the full picture when AI tools mention your brand without sending a click. We look beyond standard rankings and traffic to help you understand how AI visibility, citations and conversational search are influencing demand.

WE TREAT EVERY BUSINESS WITH CARE

Whether you’re a fast-growing startup or a heritage brand with complex systems, we take the time to understand your team, your challenges and the results that matter most. That means fewer shortcuts, better collaboration and work that reflects your priorities, not ours. It’s why so many of our clients stick around and why we’re still working with brands we partnered with over a decade ago.

GEO vs AIO: WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Which one is right for you?

GEO is the service most businesses mean when they talk about being found in AI search. It focuses on improving how visible your brand is inside AI answer engines such as Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude. Put simply, GEO helps AI platforms understand who you are, what you offer and why your business should be recommended when someone asks a relevant question.

AIO is a broader term. It can include GEO, but it also covers how AI tools are used within your wider marketing activity, such as analysing search intent, improving content planning, speeding up research and helping structure information in a clearer, more machine-readable way. For most businesses looking to improve visibility in AI search results, GEO is the practical starting point. It builds on traditional SEO, while adapting your website, content and wider digital footprint for the way people now search, compare and make decisions through AI platforms.
