AI Search & Answer Engine Optimisation

Get your business recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews

Homeowners and trade contractors are no longer just scrolling search engine links — they are asking AI assistants who to buy from. AI engines recommend businesses that carry clear structured data, direct answers, and consistent local signals. Most South African showroom websites have none of the three.

Recommendation Factors

How AI assistants choose who to recommend

01

Structured Data

LocalBusiness, FAQPage, and Product schema injected directly into server-rendered HTML so AI crawlers read your exact facts, locations, and catalogue instantly.

02

Answer Content

Clear definitions, "best for" guides, running-cost comparisons, and Q&A modules written in the exact format AI models extract for answer snippets.

03

Local Consistency

Identical Name, Address, and Phone (NAP) data across directories, active Google Business Profiles, and steady review sentiment across key local hubs.

Integrated Visibility

What we build

AI search visibility is not a standalone widget — it is layer one of a full visibility system. We build the ranking pages, answer content, lead capture, and tracking layer together so every recommendation turns into an enquiry.

Monthly Tracking

AI Visibility Monitor — R2,500 / month

Track exactly where your business appears on Google Search, Google Maps, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews against 3 key competitors. Receive a monthly plain-English report with actionable recommendations. Cancel any time.

Monthly Report Breakdown

What your monthly report actually shows you

Every month, we check where your business appears in the places buyers now look — and send you a two-page report in plain English. No dashboards to log into, no jargon to decode. Here is exactly what's in it.

01

Your Google rankings — and whether they moved

We track 10 agreed keywords — the searches your buyers actually type — and show your position for each, who ranks above you, and whether you moved up or down since last month.

02

Your Map Pack presence

For your local searches, we check whether your Google Business Profile appears in the map results buyers see first — and flag the terms where you're missing.

03

What AI assistants say when buyers ask about you

We put 8 real buyer questions — like "best [your product] supplier in [your city]" and "is [your business] any good?" — to ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini through their official channels, plus Google's AI Overviews. The report shows whether you were named, what was said, and who got recommended instead.

04

How you compare to 3 named competitors

You choose the three competitors. Each month we tally how often they appear in search and AI answers versus you — so you can see the gap closing (or opening) in real numbers.

05

One clear action for the month

Every report ends with a single recommendation — the one change most likely to win you a ranking or an AI mention next month. No 40-point to-do lists.

Why does this matter? Because a growing share of buyers now ask an AI assistant who to buy from before they ever see your website — and if you've never checked what those assistants say about you, you're invisible in a channel your competitors may already own. The first report is your baseline; every report after that shows movement.

AI answers are checked via the assistants' official APIs and search positions are indicative, checked monthly from your region. We report what we find — including when the news isn't good yet.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) are the practices of optimizing your website and digital presence so AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews) understand your business facts, products, and location, and directly recommend you to buyers.

Once structured LocalBusiness schema, FAQ data, and clear answer content are deployed on your site, AI search bots pick up the updated information during their crawl cycles, typically showing citation improvements within 30 to 60 days.

No. AI visibility builds on top of traditional local SEO. Search engines and AI recommendation engines both rely on the same underlying foundation: authoritative local signals, fast mobile performance, clear schema markup, and high-quality content.

Yes. To build structured data, deploy Q&A content modules, and optimize server-side rendering for AI crawlers, we implement changes directly on your site or coordinate implementation with your web team.

That's the most common first result — and the point of the baseline. The report tells you exactly which questions and searches you're absent from, who's being named instead, and the first fix to make. Most businesses have simply never been measured in this channel before.
