Technical SEO, Answer Engine Optimization, and Generative Engine Optimization
Search has split into three channels: traditional Google results, AI answer engines like ChatGPT Overviews and Perplexity, and generative engines that summarize the web instead of linking to it. Our SEO services cover all three, built into the same technical work we do when we build or improve your site: structured data, crawlability, semantic HTML, and AI-crawler readiness. This is technical SEO and AI search optimization done by the people who build the site, not a bolt-on marketing retainer.
When companies come to us for SEO, AEO, and GEO
Our site ranks fine but never shows up in ChatGPT or AI Overviews. Traditional rankings and AI citations depend on different signals. If your content isn't structured for machines to parse, AI answer engines will summarize a competitor instead of you.
We just rebuilt our site and SEO tanked. A new framework often breaks server-side rendering, sitemaps, or heading structure without anyone noticing until traffic drops. We audit and fix what the migration broke.
Our SEO agency writes content but can't touch our codebase. Content strategy without technical implementation stalls. We're the development team that can actually ship the schema markup, redirects, and crawlability fixes your content team is waiting on.
We want our site ready for how people search now, not just five years ago. Buyers ask AI assistants questions instead of typing keywords. We structure your site so both search engines and language models can find accurate answers in it.
SEO, AEO, and GEO services we provide
- Technical SEO audits
- We review crawlability, indexation, site speed, mobile rendering, and Core Web Vitals to find what's actually blocking visibility, not just a generic checklist score.
- Structured data & schema markup
- We implement Organization, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, Product, and Article schema as JSON-LD so search engines and AI answer engines can parse your content correctly instead of guessing at it.
- Crawlable, server-rendered content
- We make sure content that matters is actually in the HTML response, not locked behind client-side rendering that crawlers and AI bots skip over.
- llms.txt & AI-crawler readiness
- We set up llms.txt and check robots rules so AI crawlers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, and similar tools can access and correctly interpret your site's content.
- Semantic HTML & heading structure
- We build pages with proper heading hierarchy, landmark elements, and semantic tags, the structural signals that both accessibility tools and language models rely on to understand a page.
- Sitemap & internal linking architecture
- We build accurate XML sitemaps and a logical internal linking structure so every important page is discoverable and properly weighted.
Search keeps ending without a click
How much has search shifted away from clicks? A lot. The share of Google searches ending without a click has climbed steadily for a decade, which is exactly why being cited inside the answer matters as much as ranking for it.

AI answer engines are growing fast
How fast is AI search adoption actually growing? Fast enough to change where buyers look for answers first. ChatGPT's weekly user base grew roughly ninefold in under three years.

Our SEO, AEO, and GEO process
- 01
Technical audit
We crawl your site the way search engines and AI bots do, checking indexation, rendering, speed, and existing structured data to find the gaps.
- 02
Structured data implementation
We add or fix Organization, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, and other relevant schema so pages are machine-readable, not just human-readable.
- 03
Crawlability fixes
We resolve rendering issues, broken sitemaps, redirect chains, and blocked resources that keep search engines and AI crawlers from indexing your content properly.
- 04
AI-crawler & llms.txt setup
We configure llms.txt and verify robots access so AI answer engines can find and correctly parse your site's content.
- 05
Semantic & heading structure pass
We clean up heading hierarchy and semantic markup so page structure is clear to crawlers, screen readers, and language models alike.
- 06
Monitoring
We check indexation status, structured data validity, and AI citation appearances after launch so issues get caught early, not months later.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between SEO, AEO, and GEO?+
SEO is optimizing for traditional search engine rankings. AEO is optimizing for answer engines like Google's AI Overviews or featured snippets that answer a query directly. GEO is optimizing for generative engines like ChatGPT or Perplexity that summarize and cite sources instead of showing a ranked list. We work on the technical foundation that supports all three.
Do you handle link building and content marketing too?+
No. We don't do link building, ad management, or high-volume content marketing. Our SEO services are technical: structured data, crawlability, site architecture, and AI-crawler readiness. If you need ongoing content or outreach, that work sits with a marketing agency alongside what we build.
Can you optimize a site AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity actually cite?+
We can make your site technically readable and citable by AI crawlers through structured data, llms.txt, clean semantic HTML, and crawlable content. We can't guarantee a specific citation, since AI answer engines choose sources using their own models, but we remove the technical barriers that keep sites from being considered at all.
What is llms.txt and does my site need one?+
llms.txt gives AI crawlers a clear, structured summary of what's on your site, similar in spirit to robots.txt but aimed at language models instead of search bots. It's not mandatory, but for a site that wants to show up in AI-generated answers, it's a low-cost way to make your content easier for those systems to parse correctly.
Will this work on our existing site, or do we need a rebuild?+
Most of this work applies to an existing site. Structured data, sitemap fixes, and llms.txt don't require a rebuild. If your site relies heavily on client-side rendering that hides content from crawlers, we'll flag that separately and scope a fix rather than assuming a full rebuild is needed.
How do you measure results if there's no case study yet?+
This is a newer service line for us, so we're upfront that we don't have a dedicated named case study yet. What we can show is the technical work itself, including structured data validation, indexation reports, and crawlability audits, the same approach applied to our own site, which uses FAQPage schema, llms.txt, and semantic HTML.
