What is AI SEO and how is it different from Google SEO?
+
AI SEO optimizes your content to be chosen as THE answer when people ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini for recommendations. While Google SEO focuses on ranking in search results, AI SEO focuses on being cited as the trusted source in conversational AI responses. You need both: Google SEO brings traffic to your site, AI SEO makes you the recommended choice in AI conversations.
Do I still need regular SEO if I do AI SEO?
+
Yes, absolutely. Think of them as complementary strategies. Traditional SEO ensures you're findable on Google and Bing. AI SEO ensures you're recommended by ChatGPT and other AI assistants. Since AI models train on web data, good traditional SEO actually strengthens your AI SEO. We optimize for both to maximize your visibility everywhere people search.
How fast can my business show up in ChatGPT responses?
+
We've changed ChatGPT responses in as little as 24 hours for local service queries. Most businesses see initial improvements within 7-14 days, with significant visibility gains within 30 days. The speed depends on your current online presence, competition level, and how aggressively we implement the optimization strategy.
How do I know if I'm currently showing up in AI searches?
+
Simple: ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini about your service in your area. For example, "Who's a good [your profession] in [your city]?" If you're not mentioned while competitors are, you're invisible to AI. We offer a free AI visibility audit that tests your presence across multiple AI platforms and specific queries your customers actually use.
Why should I care about showing up in ChatGPT or Claude?
+
ChatGPT has over 300 million weekly active users. Claude and Gemini add millions more. These users are asking AI for recommendations every day - for services, products, and professionals just like you. When AI recommends a business, users trust it more than ads or even reviews. If you're not showing up, your competitors are getting these high-intent referrals instead of you.
What happens if my competitors do AI SEO and I don't?
+
They become the default recommendation when anyone asks AI about your industry in your area. Once AI consistently recommends them, it creates a compounding advantage - more clicks, more engagement, more credibility. This reinforces their position in future AI training. The early movers in AI SEO will dominate these conversational searches for years. The window to establish your position is now.
Can AI SEO work for my specific industry?
+
AI SEO works for any business that customers search for or ask questions about. We've successfully optimized real estate agents, mortgage brokers, lawyers, SaaS companies, e-commerce brands, local services, and B2B companies. If people in your industry ask "who should I hire" or "what's the best solution," then AI SEO can make sure you're the answer.
Do I need to rebuild my website for AI optimization?
+
No, you don't need to rebuild your website. AI SEO involves strategic optimizations to your existing content, adding structured data (schema markup), improving your knowledge graph presence, and ensuring consistency across the web. We work with what you have and enhance it to speak AI's language. Most optimizations can be implemented without any design changes.
