Home / Services / AI search optimization

AI search optimization for small businesses.

When someone asks an AI chat who to hire, the answer comes with a short list of sources. We structure and write your site so you are on that list, and we track how often you are cited.

What AI search optimization from us includes.

We find the questions your clients ask AI chat tools, check which answers you show up in today, rewrite your service pages and articles so they answer those questions directly, and add the structure those tools read: schema, FAQ blocks, a clear about page, and an llms.txt file. Some call this generative engine optimization (GEO) or answer engine optimization (AEO). It is the same work, and you get a monthly report that shows which prompts now cite you.

Signs you need it.

01

AI chat names your competitors

Ask an AI chat who does what you do in your area and check whether you are in the answer.

02

Traffic is flat while search is changing

More buyers get a recommendation from an AI chat before they ever open Google.

03

Your pages explain but never answer

AI tools quote pages that state the answer in the first two sentences.

04

Nobody is measuring citations

If you do not know which prompts mention you, you cannot grow that number.

Included, every time

The work behind the citations.

This is what every AI search engagement from us includes.

Prompt research, not just keywords

The questions your clients ask AI chat tools, grouped by service, with a baseline of who gets cited today.

Answer-first rewrites

Every service page and key article restructured to state the answer up top, with the detail underneath.

Schema and entity pages

Organization, Person, Service, and FAQ schema, plus an about page that tells AI tools exactly who you are.

llms.txt and crawl readiness

A clean, crawlable site with the files and structure AI crawlers look for, and nothing blocking them.

Content written to be quoted

Articles that answer one question each, with sources, so an AI tool can lift a sentence and credit you.

Citation tracking

A monthly check of the prompts that matter, which tools cite you, and what changed.

How an AI search engagement goes.

Month one is the baseline and the map, and from month two we publish and track citations.

01

Baseline

We run the prompts your clients would ask across the main AI chat tools and record who is cited.

02

Prompt map

Every question worth answering, assigned to a page that exists or one we will build.

03

Restructure

Answer-first rewrites, schema, entity pages, and llms.txt on the pages you already have.

04

Publish

New question-led articles every month, aimed at the map and written to be quoted.

05

Track and adjust

Monthly citation report, and the next month's plan based on what moved.

We couldn't be more pleased with the experience of working with Hassan and his team at Alanbagi on the new BluCAL website. Transitioning from a DIY website builder to a professionally developed platform was a big step for us, and Hassan made the process seamless from start to finish. The new site not only looks incredible, it reflects our brand with a clean, modern, professional design, and it functions beautifully. From job intake to service explanations, every element is user-friendly and thoughtfully laid out.

After working with Hassan on several recent website projects, I can't say enough good things about him. Besides being incredibly personable and genuine, Hassan showed great skill and creativity in building a layout and look and feel that precisely aligned with what we were looking for. He was quick to respond and provided a fast turn-around on his projects. We will certainly work with him again.

Hassan made a huge contribution to my business and to me. As a business owner I had no idea about SEO, Google My Business, website optimization, and how that could add value to the JUMA brand. Hassan took the time to clearly explain the strategy and methodology, and as a result took my business to the next level. He was consistent, he brought rigor, and he went above and beyond on numerous occasions.

Any business people ask an AI about before hiring. That is most of them now.

Architects, engineers, construction companies, clinics, consultancies, and local service businesses. If a buyer might ask an AI chat who to hire before calling, this applies to you. The tools change every few months and we keep up so you do not have to.

What is AI search optimization?

Making your site the source an AI chat tool cites when someone asks a question you can answer. It builds on SEO, with more weight on direct answers, structure, and a clear picture of who you are.

Is this GEO or AEO?

Both names describe the same work. Generative engine optimization and answer engine optimization mean getting cited in AI-generated answers, and that is what this service does.

How do you measure it?

We run a fixed set of prompts every month across the main AI chat tools and record which ones cite you, then report the change.

Do I still need SEO?

Yes. AI tools draw heavily on pages that already rank, so the two run on the same site and the same content.
