THE CITED AI METHOD

Four phases to share of answer

01

Audit

Map how AI engines see, rank and cite you today — and where competitors win.
02

Structure

Build answer-ready content, FAQs and schema engines can parse and quote.
03

Authority

Earn the citations, mentions and entity trust that make engines pick you.
04

Monitor

Track share of answer across engines and iterate every month.
EVERY ENGINE, ONE STRATEGY

The platforms your customers already ask.

Each answer engine picks its sources differently. We optimise for how every one of them decides who to cite.

ChatGPT

OPENAI
Leans on well-structured, authoritative pages and its browsing sources when it names businesses.

Google Gemini

GOOGLE
Draws on Google's index, entities and the Knowledge Graph — entity clarity matters most here.

Perplexity

PERPLEXITY AI
Cites its sources inline and visibly — being a linked citation is the whole game.

Google AI Overviews

GOOGLE
Search-grounded answers that surface the most trusted, clearly-structured sources at the top of Google.

Copilot

MICROSOFT
Grounds answers in Bing's search index and shows inline citations — the same structural signals that help you show up in Bing matter here.

Claude

ANTHROPIC
Searches the web and cites the pages it reads — clear, well-sourced, factual content is what gets quoted.

Multi-engine sampling

We run those prompts across every major AI engine, every month.

Share-of-answer scoring

FAQ

AI search optimisation, explained

What is AI SEO?

AI SEO is optimising your business so AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Copilot and Claude name and recommend you in their answers. It is also called Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO), Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), AI Optimisation (AIO) or AI search optimisation (AISO).

What is the difference between AEO, GEO and AI SEO?

Mostly the name. AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) both describe getting cited inside AI-generated answers; AI SEO is the broader everyday term. The work is the same: clear entity data, answer-ready content, structured data and third-party citations.

What are AI citations?

An AI citation is when an AI engine links to or references a web page as a source for its answer. It is different from an AI mention, where the engine names your business in the answer text. You can be mentioned without being cited, or cited without being named, so we track mention rate and citation rate separately across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI, Copilot and Claude.

How is AI SEO different from traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO ranks pages in a list of search results. AI SEO earns your brand a place inside the single answer an AI engine gives. They share foundations — quality content, structured data, authority — but AI SEO focuses on entity clarity and citations across AI platforms rather than clicks from a results page.

How long does AI SEO take to show results?

There is no fixed timeframe. Some changes can appear after AI engines recrawl your pages, but meaningful, sustained AI visibility typically requires ongoing testing, authority-building and iteration. Results vary and aren't guaranteed.
