  • Success is clicks

GEO

  • Earns citations inside AI answers
  • Entity, mention and structured-content signals

How AI search optimization works

AI search systems retrieve pages, pick the passages that best answer a question, and cite or summarize them. AI search optimization makes your site easy to retrieve, easy to quote and easy to trust.

Easy to retrieve means the site is crawlable, fast and indexed. Easy to quote means clear answers, structured content and schema. Easy to trust means consistent entity information and mentions on sites the models already rely on. Google's guide to AI features is the reference I use for what Google will and will not cite.

How I use AI in this work

I use the assistants themselves to see how they describe a brand, then I compare that with what the site actually says. The judgement calls, what to fix first, what to publish, and what to ignore, stay with me. You get the speed of automation without handing the site to a robot.
