AI SEO agency for Australian businesses
AI SEO is search engine optimisation adapted for AI answers. Cited AI is an Australian AI Search and AI Visibility agency. Our AI SEO service works alongside your existing SEO, whether that is an agency or an in-house team, adding what AI search needs on top of what Google rankings need: entity clarity, answer-ready content, AI crawler access and visibility tracking across engines.
Who this page is for
Businesses that already invest in SEO and want to know what changes for AI search, without duplicating spend or replacing a team that is doing good work. If you have no SEO foundation yet, start with AI visibility instead.
What stays the same, and what changes
| Traditional SEO | AI SEO adds | |
|---|---|---|
| Goal | Rank pages in search results | Be named or cited inside AI answers |
| Technical | Crawlability, speed, indexation | Access for OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot and Bingbot; content readable without JavaScript |
| Content | Keyword-targeted pages | Pages that answer the question in the first two sentences, with facts stated plainly |
| Authority | Backlinks | Mentions and consistent facts on the sources AI engines cite, linked or not |
| Measurement | Rankings, clicks | Mention rate, citation rate and accuracy per engine, plus AI referral traffic |
How we work with your SEO team
- We share our baseline and prompt set so both teams measure the same thing.
- We recommend changes as tickets your SEO or web team can ship, or we implement them, whichever you prefer.
- We avoid creating pages that compete with existing ones. If a page already covers a topic, we improve it.
- We report AI referral traffic separately in GA4 so you can see AI search alongside organic search.
Typical AI SEO quick wins
- Unblocking AI search crawlers that were caught by a blanket bot rule or a firewall setting.
- Fixing inconsistent business names or addresses across the site and directories.
- Adding a plain-English summary to the top of key service pages.
- Replacing JavaScript-only content, such as animated counters, with text crawlers can read.
