AI SEO services: get recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews
AI visibility, also called AI SEO or GEO (generative engine optimization), is how often AI assistants name your business when people ask for a recommendation. Impleko's AI SEO services audit those answers, fix what AI reads about you, and track your mentions against competitors every month.

A monthly report: tracked questions, your mentions and your competitors'
In short: Impleko is an AI SEO agency for small businesses. Our generative engine optimization services find the questions your customers ask AI, fix the facts and sources AI reads about you, and track how often ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews name you against your competitors. You get a report every month.
What's included, in detail
An audit of the questions your customers ask AI, and who gets named today
We run the questions your customers ask through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews, then record which businesses are named and which sources the answers cite. The audit shows where you stand today and what to fix first.
Fixes to your business facts across your site, Google Business Profile and major directories
AI assistants trust a business whose details agree everywhere. We fix your name, address, phone, services, hours and description across your website, your Google Business Profile and the major directories, so every source tells the same story.
Answer-first content and FAQ pages AI assistants can quote
We write pages and FAQ answers that open with a direct, one-sentence answer, the format AI assistants quote most. Each answer states plain facts about your business: what you offer, where you work and who you serve.
Structured data and an llms.txt file on your site
Structured data, also called schema markup, labels your business, services and FAQs in a format machines read directly. An llms.txt file gives AI tools a short summary of your site and links to its key pages.
Listings and mentions on the sites AI answers cite in your industry
AI answers lean on a small set of sources in each industry, such as review sites, directories and local guides. We get your business listed or mentioned on the sources the assistants cite for your searches.
A monthly report: tracked questions, your mentions and your competitors'
Every month you see the questions we track, how often each assistant names your business, which competitors are named instead and which sources were cited, with the fixes planned for the next month.
GEO, AEO and AI SEO: what the terms mean
These terms overlap, and most agencies use them loosely. Here's what each one means.
| Term | Stands for | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| GEO | Generative engine optimization | Getting your business named in answers written by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. |
| AEO | Answer engine optimization | Writing content that answers a question directly, so search engines and AI tools can show it as the answer. |
| AI SEO | AI search engine optimization | The umbrella term for SEO work aimed at AI answers, covering both GEO and AEO. |
| AI Overviews | Google's AI-written summaries | The AI answer Google shows above the regular results for many searches, with links to its sources. |
| llms.txt | A file for AI tools | A short plain-text summary of your website that AI tools can read. |
How AI visibility differs from SEO
SEO earns a place in a list of links. AI assistants give one answer and name a few businesses, so the job is to make the facts about you consistent, easy to quote and backed by sources the AI trusts. Most of that work also helps your Google rankings, so the two run together in one plan.
| SEO | AEO | GEO | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goal | Rank in the list of results | Be the direct answer to a question | Be named in an AI assistant's answer |
| Where you show up | Google and Bing results | Featured snippets, AI Overviews, voice answers | ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Overviews |
| What matters most | Relevant pages, links, technical health | Clear question-and-answer content | Consistent facts, trusted third-party sources, answer-first pages |
| How it's measured | Rankings, traffic, calls | Snippets and AI Overview appearances | How often you're named, and against whom |
Most of the work overlaps, which is why Impleko runs all three in one plan.
How AI assistants choose which businesses to recommend
AI search optimization services work on the signals assistants use when they pick a business. There are five:
The same facts everywhere
Assistants trust a business whose name, services, location and hours agree across its website, Google Business Profile and directories. Conflicting details make them less sure which business is yours.
Trusted third-party sources
AI answers lean on review sites, directories, local guides and industry lists. Being listed and mentioned on those sources counts for more than anything you say about yourself.
Pages that answer the question first
Assistants quote sentences that make sense on their own. A page that opens with "Impleko is a local SEO agency in St. Petersburg, FL" is easier to cite than one that opens with a slogan.
Structured data
Schema markup labels your business, services and FAQs in a format machines read directly, so there is less for the assistant to guess.
Fresh information
Some assistants search the web live when answering, and others rely mostly on what they learned in training. Keeping your site and listings current helps with the first group right away and with the second over time.
How to get your business recommended by ChatGPT
You can't pay ChatGPT to recommend you, but you can make your business easy to recommend. These are the steps we take for every client, and the same steps help with Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews:
- Ask ChatGPT the questions your customers ask and note who it names today.
- Fix your business details so they match everywhere online.
- Get listed on the review sites, directories and guides that the answers cite in your industry.
- Add a page for each service and area, opening with a direct, factual answer.
- Add structured data and an llms.txt file to your site.
- Ask happy customers for reviews, and reply to every one.
- Re-check the same questions every month and fix what's still missing.
What we track and report every month
As an AI SEO company, we judge our work by one thing: how often AI assistants name you. Every monthly report shows:
The questions we track
The questions your customers actually ask, agreed with you at the start
Your mention rate
how often each assistant names your business for those questions
Share of voice
how often you're named compared with your top competitors
Cited sources
which websites the answers rely on, and whether you're on them
Next month's fixes
the specific changes we'll make based on what we found
We track ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews.
Who it's for
Our generative engine optimization agency works with local businesses whose customers ask ChatGPT before they search: painters, roofers, real estate teams, health practices, insurance agencies, home services, pest control, legal, electrical and plumbing businesses. If customers in your industry ask AI for a recommendation, the audit shows who gets named today and how far you are from being one of them.
Questions businesses ask
What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
GEO, or generative engine optimization, is the work of getting a business named in answers from AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews. Impleko's GEO service audits those answers, fixes the sources AI uses and tracks mentions monthly.
What does GEO mean in marketing?
In marketing, GEO stands for generative engine optimization: the work of getting a business named in answers from AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. It's different from "geo-targeting," which means aiming ads at a location.
What is AEO?
AEO, or answer engine optimization, is writing content that answers a question directly, so search engines and AI tools can show it as the answer. Impleko writes every service page and FAQ answer-first, which helps with both AEO and GEO.
Is GEO replacing SEO?
No. Most AI assistants pull from websites that already rank and sources that are already trusted, so SEO is still the base. GEO adds the work AI answers reward on top: consistent facts, third-party mentions and answer-first pages.
Which AI assistants do you track?
Impleko tracks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews every month, using the same set of customer questions each time, so changes in the report reflect real changes in the answers.
Is AI SEO different from regular SEO?
Partly. Both need a fast, clear website and trusted mentions elsewhere, but AI assistants reward consistent facts, direct answers and citations from sources they trust. Impleko runs both together, so the same work helps rankings and AI answers.
How do you track AI mentions?
Impleko runs a fixed set of customer questions through the major AI assistants every month, records which businesses are named and which sources are cited, and reports your share against competitors.
How fast can AI visibility improve?
Fixes to your own site and listings can show up within weeks in assistants that search the web live, while others update more slowly. Impleko reports the tracked questions monthly, so you can see what changed.
How do I show up in Google's AI Overviews?
To show up in Google's AI Overviews, a business needs pages that answer its customers' questions in the first sentence, structured data, and the same facts on its website and listings, from sources Google already trusts. Impleko builds and tracks all three as part of its AI visibility service.
What kinds of businesses need AI visibility?
AI visibility matters most for businesses whose customers ask ChatGPT before they search. Impleko works on it with painters, roofers, real estate teams, health practices, insurance agencies, home services, pest control, legal, electrical and plumbing businesses, and the audit shows how often your competitors are named today.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?
No. Impleko can't guarantee that ChatGPT or any other AI assistant will name your business, because each assistant picks its own answers. Impleko fixes the facts and sources AI reads about you, then reports every month which tracked questions name you and which name your competitors.
What is an llms.txt file, and does my site need one?
An llms.txt file is a short plain-text summary of your website written for AI tools to read. Impleko adds one to your site along with structured data as part of its AI visibility service, so assistants get your business facts in a clean, consistent form.
