AI SEO Services for Generative and Answer Engine Optimization
When buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google's AI Overviews which provider to choose, the answer names a few brands. Dayvandi's AI SEO services, covering generative engine optimization (GEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO), help make yours one of them, and we measure whether it is working.
How AI platforms find sources
AI search tools answer questions by drawing on what they can retrieve from the web, often through a search index, combined with what their models already know. Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode build on Google's own index. ChatGPT search, Perplexity and Copilot use their own crawlers and search partners.
The mechanics differ by platform and change often, but the sources they favor tend to share a few traits: they are accessible, specific, consistent with what other sources say, and mentioned by sites the platform already trusts.
- Accessible. AI crawlers can reach and read the page.
- Clear. The page states plainly who you are, what you offer and for whom.
- Specific. It answers real buyer questions with details, not generalities.
- Corroborated. Reviews, directories and industry sources say the same thing about you.
The AI platforms we track
| Platform | Where its web results come from | Crawler that needs access |
|---|---|---|
| Google AI Overviews and AI Mode | Google's search index | Googlebot |
| Gemini | Google Search | Googlebot |
| ChatGPT search | OpenAI's crawler and search partners | OAI-SearchBot |
| Perplexity | Perplexity's own crawler and index | PerplexityBot |
| Microsoft Copilot | Bing's search index | Bingbot |
Platforms change how they retrieve sources often, so we re-check access as part of every review.
What do AI SEO services include?
Most of this builds on solid SEO. The difference is in what we measure and which gaps we prioritize.
AI visibility baseline
We test the questions your buyers actually ask across the major AI platforms and record where you are mentioned, cited or recommended, how accurately, and which competitors appear instead.
Entity and brand clarity
We make the core facts about your business consistent across your site, structured data and the profiles and directories AI tools draw on.
Answer-ready content
We build or rework pages that answer buyer questions directly, including comparisons, pricing context and use cases, in a structure that is easy to quote.
Crawl access and parsability
We confirm AI crawlers are not blocked by robots.txt or firewall rules, and that key content, including video, renders and parses without relying on client-side scripts.
Third-party presence
We identify the review sites, publications and communities the platforms cite in your category, and where your brand is missing from them.
Measurement
We re-run the same question set on a schedule, using AI visibility platforms such as Profound, Peec AI and Scrunch alongside manual checks, and track your citation share and AI referral traffic in GA4 against the baseline.
How AI visibility is measured
AI visibility can't be checked once and forgotten. We run the same buyer questions on a schedule, record where you are mentioned, cited or recommended, fix the biggest gaps, then measure again against the baseline.
What we will not promise
No one controls what an AI model says about your brand. Anyone selling guaranteed placement in ChatGPT answers is selling something they cannot deliver. We focus on the signals you can influence and report honestly on what changes.
AI SEO questions
What is the difference between SEO, GEO and AEO?
SEO improves visibility in search engine results. Generative engine optimization (GEO) focuses on being cited and recommended in AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity. Answer engine optimization (AEO) focuses on being the direct answer to a question, in AI answers, featured snippets or voice results. In practice they share the same foundations: crawlable pages, clear entities, useful content and credible mentions.
Can you get my brand recommended by ChatGPT?
No one can guarantee it, because each platform decides for itself what to retrieve and recommend. What we can do is strengthen the signals those platforms draw on and measure whether your share of AI answers improves over time.
Does structured data get my site cited in AI answers?
Not on its own. Schema helps systems interpret your organization, services and content, but it only works when it accurately describes what is already clear on the page.
Do I need an llms.txt file?
It is a proposed convention, and there is little public evidence that the major AI platforms rely on it today. It is cheap to add, so it can be a reasonable extra, but it is not a substitute for crawlable, well-structured pages.
How do you measure AI search visibility?
We run a fixed set of buyer questions across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Google AI Overviews every two weeks, and record whether your brand is mentioned, cited or recommended, and how accurately. We also track AI referral traffic in GA4.
