Someone asking an AI assistant on their phone for a local recommendation

AI Search (AEO)

Be the answerAI gives

More people now ask ChatGPT and Google's AI instead of scrolling search results. We make your Torbay business the name those engines recommend, not just another blue link.

In plain English

AI search optimisation is the work of getting your business named when someone asks an AI assistant for the best in your area. When a Torbay customer asks “who’s the best for this near me?”, our job is to make the answer you.

What’s included

Everything that makes AI choose you

Answer-ready content

Clear, well-structured pages that directly answer the questions buyers ask, written the way AI engines like to quote.

Entity & schema

Structured data and a consistent entity across the web so AI engines know exactly who you are, what you do and where.

Citations & mentions

The reviews, directory listings and trusted mentions that AI models lean on when deciding who to recommend.

Question targeting

We map the real prompts your customers type into AI and make sure your business is the answer to them.

Multi-engine coverage

Optimised for ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity, not just one platform.

Visibility tracking

We test the prompts that matter and track whether you are being named, then keep improving it.

The new front page

When AI answers, it only names a few

Ask an AI for the best local business and it does not show ten blue links. It names two or three and moves on. Being one of those names is the new map pack, and the businesses that get there first will own it. We optimise you across every major engine.

AI search questions

Frequently asked

What is AEO and how is it different from SEO?

SEO gets you ranked in the list of blue links. AEO, Answer Engine Optimisation, gets you named directly in the answer an AI gives. As more people ask ChatGPT and Google's AI instead of scrolling results, being the cited answer matters as much as ranking.

Can you really influence what ChatGPT says about my business?

Yes, within reason. AI engines draw on your website, your reviews, directories and the wider web. By structuring your content, strengthening your entity and earning the right mentions, we make it far more likely you are the business an AI names for your service and area.

Is this worth it for a small local business?

Increasingly, yes. When someone asks an AI for the best plumber or florist in your town, it usually names two or three. Being one of them is the new map pack. Getting in early, before your competitors, is the advantage.

Does AI search replace local SEO?

No, it complements it. The same foundations, a strong profile, genuine reviews and clear local content, feed both. We usually run AI search alongside local SEO so you win the map pack and the AI answer at once.
