AI-first SEO agency · US and UK

AI SEO agency for B2B firms. Win the searches that start with an AI answer.

Google now answers many searches with an AI Overview before it shows a single link. AI SEO is how you get cited in that answer and still rank beneath it. We've done the SEO part for years. Now we do both.

Example answer
The short answer
  • AI SEO means optimising for search engines that now answer with AI: Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode, plus the classic results underneath.
  • Being cited in the AI answer matters. When Google shows an AI summary, people click a regular result about half as often (8% vs 15%, Pew Research Center, 2025).
  • It's built on the same foundations as SEO: technical health, expert content and trusted links. The difference is shaping pages so AI can lift and cite them.
  • We report on enquiries and revenue, not just rankings.

What's changed

What is an AI SEO agency, and why do you need one now?

An AI SEO agency optimises your site for search engines that answer with AI, so you're cited in Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode as well as ranked in the results. Some agencies use the phrase to mean SEO done with AI tools. We mean SEO for AI search.

20%+

of Google searches now show an AI Overview above the results.

Service pages still win buyers

AI Overviews show up mostly on informational searches. Commercial searches still lean on classic results, which is why we fix the pages that sell your services first.

What's included

What our AI SEO service includes

Everything it takes to rank in Google and get cited in its AI answers: technical foundations, pages built to be quoted, topical depth, digital PR and reporting tied to enquiries.

Technical

Built for AI crawlers

Fast, crawlable pages, clean structured data and access for Googlebot and the AI crawlers, so nothing blocks you from the answer.

Answers

AI Overview optimisation

Answer-first sections, clear definitions, tables and lists: the formats Google lifts straight into its AI Overviews.

Commercial pages

Service pages that win

We rebuild the pages that turn searches into enquiries, starting with the ones closest to revenue.

Depth

Topical authority

Content clusters around each service, so Google sees you as the expert on the whole subject, not one keyword.

Links

Digital PR

Coverage and links from publications that your buyers and Google both trust.

Reporting

Rankings, citations, enquiries

Monthly reporting on rankings, AI Overview citations and the enquiries they bring in.

AI SEO vs GEO vs SEO

AI SEO, GEO and traditional SEO: what's the difference?

Traditional SEO wins the blue links. AI SEO wins Google's AI answers and the links beneath them. GEO wins the recommendations inside ChatGPT, Claude and other assistants. Most B2B firms need all three, so we run them as one programme.

AI SEO questions

What people ask us about AI SEO.

Can't see yours? Add it when you request your snapshot and we'll answer it there.

What is AI SEO?

AI SEO is search engine optimisation for AI-powered search. It means ranking in Google and getting cited inside AI-generated answers such as AI Overviews and AI Mode, using the same foundations as classic SEO plus content shaped for AI to quote.

Is AI SEO different from GEO?

They overlap heavily. We use AI SEO for Google's own AI features and GEO for assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity. The work underneath is largely the same, and every Pieo programme covers both. See our GEO agency page.

Do AI Overviews kill SEO traffic?

They reduce clicks on some searches, mostly informational ones. Commercial searches still send buyers to websites, and being cited in the overview keeps you visible. The answer is to adapt, not to stop.

Will AI-written content hurt our rankings?

Thin, generic content hurts rankings however it's made. Google's guidance focuses on whether content is helpful and original, not how it was produced. Every page we publish is built around your expertise and checked by a person before it goes live.

How long does AI SEO take?

Technical fixes and page rebuilds can show movement within weeks. Ranking for competitive commercial searches and earning steady AI Overview citations usually takes three to six months.

What does an AI SEO agency cost?

It depends on your starting point and how many services and markets you want to win. You'll get a fixed monthly price in writing after your free snapshot, with no long contract.

Do you work with firms in the US and UK?

Yes. We work with B2B firms in both markets and track results separately for each, because Google results and AI answers differ by country.
