AEO, GEO, and AI automation for local and regional service businesses.
Because search itself changed. Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity now answer many questions directly, without sending a click to your site. Your ranking can stay exactly the same while your visits fall, because fewer people ever reach a results page to click on. That's the gap AEO and GEO are built to close.
SEO gets your website ranked in a list of blue links. AEO gets your business cited as the answer inside AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and voice assistants. The format is different, so the strategy is different: structured content, clear entity signals, and answers written the way people actually ask questions.
GEO is the practice of making your content easy for generative AI models to find, understand, and quote. It overlaps with AEO but focuses specifically on how large language models pull, summarize, and attribute information, which is what decides whether an AI assistant recommends your business by name.
Ask ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, or Perplexity a question your customers would ask, like "best [your service] near me." If your business isn't named in the answer, you're invisible in the channel that's replacing traditional search.
Systems that run without you: instant call and lead response, automated follow-up on stalled estimates, voice-to-quote generation, review response drafting, and plain-English financial reporting pulled straight from your books. Each one replaces a task your team currently does by hand.
Faster than traditional SEO. You're optimizing for how AI models read and cite content right now, not waiting years for a domain to build authority. Structural changes typically show up in how AI engines describe your business within weeks, and visibility compounds from there.
