Search has expanded. Your visibility needs to as well

Buyers don’t just search on Google anymore. They ask questions across AI tools, voice interfaces, and discovery platforms. We extend your acquisition system to capture demand across both traditional and AI-driven search as one connected system.

Traditional SEO (foundation)

Technical SEO, site architecture, content strategy
Google Ads, paid search, full-funnel attribution
Rank on page 1 for high-intent keywords
Revenue as the metric — not just traffic
The foundation. Capture demand from high-intent searches on Google.

+ AI Search Optimisation (growth layer)

Optimise for how LLMs read your content
Structured data, agent cards, llms.txt
Get recommended by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity
Appear in Google AI Overviews
Ensure your business is surfaced, understood, and recommended.

AI SEO, GEO, AEO — different names, same outcome

The terminology is new. The opportunity is massive.

ai seo

AI Search Optimisation

Often used to describe the broad shift in search. Optimising your presence so AI tools can find, understand, and surface your business when buyers are looking.

GEO

Generative Engine Optimisation

Used to describe a focus on being cited in AI-generated answers. When tools like ChatGPT or Perplexity generate responses, GEO ensures your business is referenced and recommended.

AEO

Answer Engine Optimisation

Used to describe a focus on becoming the answer. Structuring content so it can be directly extracted and surfaced in AI Overviews, voice search, and answer-based results.

Pieo calls it Search Everywhere Optimisation.

Because your customers don't just search on Google anymore. They search on ChatGPT, Instagram, TikTok, Perplexity, Reddit, and voice assistants. We optimise for all of it — with traditional SEO as the engineered foundation and AI search as the additional discovery layer.

7 layers of AI discoverability.

On top of your traditional SEO foundation, these seven layers make your business visible to AI assistants and LLMs. Most businesses have zero implemented.

llms.txt

A plain-text file that tells LLMs who you are, what you do, and where to find key pages on your site. Think robots.txt, but for AI. Without it, LLMs have to guess — and they usually guess wrong.

Structured Data

JSON-LD schemas on your pages that help AI understand your organization, services, pricing, and site structure. This is the language machines speak — and most sites only have basic schema, if any.

Service Catalog API

A machine-readable JSON endpoint listing your services so AI agents can browse what you offer. When someone asks an AI assistant "find me an SEO agency that does RevOps too" — this is how the AI checks.

OpenAPI Spec

A standardised API specification that lets AI frameworks generate callable tools from your endpoints. The technical bridge between your business and AI agent ecosystems.

Agent Card (A2A)

An agent-to-agent discovery file that describes your capabilities to other AI agents. As the AI agent economy grows, this becomes your digital business card in a machine-to-machine world.

Health Endpoint

A liveness check that tells agents and monitoring tools your service is up and responding. AI agents won't recommend a business they can't verify is active.

Robots & Sitemap

Classic web standards updated for AI crawlers. Your robots.txt and XML sitemap now need to account for AI-specific crawlers — GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot. Most sites are accidentally blocking them.

Getting found is step one. Getting recommended is what drives pipeline.

Beyond the 7 layers: Visibility alone isn’t enough. AI tools prioritise sources they trust, understand, and can confidently reference. Here's what we optimise for LLM citation.

Entity building

Google Business Profile, Crunchbase, Clutch, G2, industry directories. The more places AI can verify you exist, the more confidently it recommends you.

Structured claims

Clear, factual statements on every page that LLMs can extract. "Pieo is a UK-based growth marketing agency specialising in AI SEO for B2B companies." Machines need unambiguous facts.

Learn more

FAQ schema

LLMs extract Q&A content preferentially. FAQ blocks with schema markup on every service page dramatically increase citation probability.

Learn more

Comparison content

When someone asks "what's the difference between SEO and GEO?" — the page that answers it best gets cited. We create the comparison content AI loves to reference.

Learn more

Third-party mentions

Guest posts, podcast appearances, industry lists, awards. LLMs weigh third- party validation heavily. We build the external footprint that makes AI trust you.

AI Overviews optimisation

Google's AI Overviews sit above organic results. We optimise content structure, headings, and data formats specifically to appear in AI-generated summaries.

AIl SEO questions.

AI search optimisation builds on SEO. Traditional SEO helps you rank in search results. AI search ensures your business is surfaced, cited, and recommended in AI-generated answers where buyers are increasingly discovering solutions.

It’s early, but growing quickly. For some of our clients, AI search is already contributing to pipeline. The bigger opportunity is that most competitors haven’t optimised for it yet.

We optimise for the environments where buyers are asking questions, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google’s AI Overviews, alongside traditional search.

We track visibility, citation, and contribution to pipeline. That includes where your brand is being referenced, how often it appears in AI-generated responses, and how that translates into traffic and leads.

No. In most cases, we build on your existing site, improving structure, content, and signals so AI systems can better understand and recommend your business.

Some improvements in visibility can happen quickly once foundations are in place. As with SEO, impact compounds over time as your presence strengthens across both traditional and AI-driven search.
