Sound familiar?
Signs you’re invisible in Google and AI search.
Buyers search you, or ask ChatGPT, and find someone else. SEO gets you found on Google. GEO gets you named when people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini. Both come down to the same thing: clear pages that answer what your buyers actually ask, on a site search engines can read.
AI tools don’t mention you.
Ask ChatGPT for the best firm like yours nearby. If you’re not in the answer, a growing share of buyers never hear of you.
Your details don’t match.
Different addresses and phone numbers across Google, LinkedIn and directories confuse search engines and buyers.

The jargon
SEO, AEO, GEO and LLM SEO in plain English.
Four names for overlapping jobs. Google says AI answers run on its normal search systems, so good SEO is still most of the work.
- SEO
- Search engine optimisation. Getting your pages ranked on Google and Bing for the searches buyers make.
- AEO
- Answer engine optimisation. Writing pages so the answer appears in featured snippets, People also ask and Google’s AI Overviews.
- GEO
- Generative engine optimisation. Getting your business named and linked when people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini.
- LLM SEO
- Another name for GEO, from large language model. Same job: clear facts about you, on your site and on sites AI tools trust.

Questions
Questions about hiring an AI SEO consultant.
Something else? Email [email protected] or call 07451 260050.
Free tool Six-minute search checkCan you guarantee rankings?
No, and be wary of anyone who does. I’ll show you what’s moving every week and tell you what I’d change.
How long does SEO take?
Fixes to listings and technical problems can show within weeks. New pages usually take two to six months to settle.
What is GEO, exactly?
Generative engine optimisation: making it easy for AI assistants to understand your business and cite it when someone asks a question you can answer.
How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT?
Rank for the searches ChatGPT runs in the background, and get mentioned on sites it trusts: reviews, directories, LinkedIn and comparisons. Clear service pages that state who you help, where and what it costs make it easy to cite you.
Do I need llms.txt or special schema for AI search?
No. Google says AI Overviews need no special files or markup, and one 2026 log study found 97% of llms.txt files were never requested. I add schema where it helps Google, not as an AI trick.
Do you work with businesses outside Suffolk?
Yes. I’m based in Ipswich and work with small businesses across the UK. AI SEO is done remotely, so you don’t need to be local.
