What does AI SEO, AEO & GEO Consulting cover?
AI SEO, AEO & GEO Consulting answers one question: when someone asks an AI assistant for a business like yours, does it have enough clear, consistent information to mention you? We look at your business the way these tools do, by reading your website, your listings and what other sites say about you.
The three terms overlap but focus on different things:
| Term | What it focuses on | What we review |
|---|---|---|
| AI SEO | Being visible across AI-powered search, including Google AI Overviews and AI Mode | Crawlability, indexing, page structure and the basics AI tools rely on |
| AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) | Being the clear answer to a specific question | Question-shaped headings, direct first sentences, FAQ content |
| GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) | Being cited or recommended inside generated answers | Entity signals, consistency across the web, third-party mentions |
For deeper reading on the done-for-you versions, see Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO).
How do AI assistants decide which local businesses to mention?
AI assistants answer questions by reading web pages and summarising what they find. If your services, location and hours are vague or contradict each other across sources, the tool has less to work with and may leave you out.
A few signals carry a lot of weight in our reviews:
- Entity clarity: your business name, address and phone match everywhere, and your site states plainly what you do and where.
- Bing coverage: ChatGPT search draws partly on Bing results, so a verified Bing Places listing and Bing Webmaster Tools setup matter more than many owners expect.
- Structured data: schema.org JSON-LD such as LocalBusiness, Service and FAQPage helps machines read your page without guessing.
- Answerable content: pages that answer real customer questions in the first sentence, rather than burying the answer in a long paragraph.
What you get from an AI search consulting engagement
- A test of how AI assistants currently describe your business and your competitors for questions your customers ask
- A review of your schema markup against Google’s structured data guidelines
- An entity and listing consistency check across Google, Bing and key directories
- A page-by-page list of content gaps, with suggested questions to answer
- A crawl and indexing check, including robots rules that might block AI crawlers
- A prioritised roadmap ranked by effort and likely impact
No one can promise that an AI assistant will recommend a specific business. These tools change often. Our job is to remove the obstacles we can see and make your information as clear and consistent as possible.

Why local detail matters for AI answers in Surrey
People ask AI tools location-specific questions, such as which dental clinic in Fleetwood takes new patients or which roofer serves Cloverdale. A page that only says “Lower Mainland” gives the assistant little to match. Naming the Surrey communities you actually serve, in plain language, gives it something concrete.
Surrey is also a multilingual market, and Punjabi is widely spoken alongside English. If your customers search in more than one language, we look at whether your content and listings reflect that in a way AI tools can read.
Working with businesses in Surrey, the Lower Mainland and across Canada
Our office is at Hyland Square on 152 Street in Newton, and we meet Surrey and Lower Mainland clients in person when that helps. AI search reviews also work well remotely: we share findings by video call and a written report, so clients anywhere in Canada can take part.
If AI visibility is only one piece of a wider question, our SEO Consulting and Digital Marketing Audit pages explain broader reviews. To begin, request your free analysis.
During my entire career, I have hired and tried many different Marketing Agencies but had best experience working with Tejas and his Team. They made the whole process really simple for me, which allowed me to focus more on my day-to-day activities. They helped generate and convert lots of online leads into conversions – using their system alone is worth hiring them! I can't recommend them enough.
Mathan MarkanduVivid Marketing clientFrequently asked questions
What is the difference between AI SEO consulting and your AI SEO service?
Consulting is advisory: we audit, explain and give you a prioritised roadmap. The AI SEO & AI Search Optimization service is done for you, where our team makes the changes and keeps them current. You can start with consulting, then decide whether your own team or Vivid Marketing handles implementation.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews will recommend my business?
No. No agency controls what AI assistants say, and these tools change often. What we can do is find the gaps that make your business hard for them to understand, such as missing schema, inconsistent listings or vague content, and show you how to fix them.
How much does AI SEO, AEO & GEO Consulting cost?
Cost depends on the size of your website, how many services and locations you have, and how deep you want the review to go. A single-location trade business needs less work than a multi-location clinic. Request the free analysis and we will explain what a full review would involve for you.
Do I still need regular SEO if I focus on AI search?
Yes. AI tools still rely on pages they can crawl and index, and Google AI Overviews draw on its search index. Good technical SEO, clear content and a complete Google Business Profile support both traditional rankings and AI answers, so we plan the two together.
What do you need from me to start?
Your website address, the services and areas that matter most, and a list of questions customers often ask. Read-only access to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools helps if you have them. If you do not, we can explain how to set them up in your name.
How long before I see changes in AI answers?
It depends on how often each AI tool refreshes its sources, how large the gaps are, and how quickly fixes are made. Some changes, like adding schema, are fast to implement but take time to be picked up. We avoid timelines we cannot back up.
