About this sector

This is the newest sector in the Guide and the one with the widest gap between what is promised and what is proven. Most agencies now claim AI search as a service. Far fewer can show a client being named in an AI answer for a query that matters.

The Guide’s bar is a live demonstration and a method the consultancy can explain in plain words. Everything else is a slide.

Questions about ai search & geo consultants

What is GEO, or generative engine optimisation?

Generative engine optimisation, often shortened to GEO and sometimes called AEO or AI search optimisation, is the work of making a business the one an AI assistant names when someone asks a question it should answer. It draws on traditional SEO but adds entity building — making sure the business is consistently described across the web — structured data, citations from sources the models trust, and content written to answer questions directly.

Can a small business really appear in ChatGPT or AI Overviews?

Yes, and local businesses have an advantage: for a query like “who is a good brickwork contractor in Halifax” the models have a small pool to choose from and lean heavily on consistent, well-structured local sources. The businesses that appear are the ones with clear descriptions, real reviews, structured data on their own site, and mentions in trusted third-party guides. That is a solvable problem for a business with a few thousand pounds and a specialist who knows the method.

How is AI search visibility measured?

By asking the assistants the questions your customers ask and recording who they name, repeated over time because answers vary. Specialist tools now track this across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Any consultancy offering this work should be able to show you a baseline for your business before you spend anything.
