AI SEO services

AI SEO services that get you cited, not just ranked.

Ranking first on Google used to be the whole job. Now a growing share of buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Claude instead, and Google itself answers many searches with an AI Overview before the first blue link. In each case the assistant reads a handful of sources, writes an answer, and names three to five businesses. Being on page one does not put you in that answer. Being one of the sources does.

SEO Stuff's AI SEO service is built around that difference. We measure where you stand in the four major assistants on day one, write the pages they quote, earn placements on the publications and review sites they already cite, and show you the before and after on your dashboard. The work is done for you, for one fixed price, with a delivery date.

What is AI SEO?

AI SEO is the practice of making a business visible in AI-generated answers (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google's AI Overviews) as well as in traditional search results. It covers the content assistants quote, the third-party sources they trust, and the technical access that lets them read a site. Generative engine optimization (GEO) and answer engine optimization (AEO) are two names for parts of the same work.

What changes when the search engine writes the answer

Classic SEO optimizes for a ranking: ten links, ordered by relevance and authority, with the click going to whoever earns it. An AI assistant does something different. It runs a few searches of its own, reads the pages it finds, and composes one answer. The sources it leans on are the ones that state things plainly, agree with each other, and come from places it has learned to trust. A page can rank fourth on Google and still be the one an assistant quotes, because it answered the question in its first paragraph while the pages above it buried the answer under a sales pitch.

Two things follow from that. First, the content has to be written to be lifted: direct answers, current numbers, honest comparisons, a plain description of who you are and what you cost. Second, your own site is rarely enough. Assistants corroborate, so a mention on a review site, a roundup, or an industry publication counts for more than another page on your domain. AI SEO is the work of putting both in place, then checking the answers to see what changed.

What AI SEO includes at SEO Stuff

A baseline on day one: twenty real buyer questions for your category asked of ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude, with the full answers and who each one recommended instead of you
A manual audit of your site covering Google and the assistants, and a strategy guide that names the questions worth owning, within 7 business days
10 pages written to be cited: direct answers, comparisons, pricing, use cases, and a plain facts page assistants can quote about your business
3 DR50+ placements on publications and review sites already cited in your category
Technical access, audited: whether your robots rules let the assistants' crawlers in, whether pages render without JavaScript, whether schema markup and an llms.txt file are in place, with the fixes spelled out in the strategy guide
A dashboard that shows the baseline, every deliverable as it lands, and the after-report

How the work is done

1
Measure
We ask the four assistants twenty questions a real buyer in your category would ask, with web search on, and record every answer. That is your baseline, and it goes on your dashboard before any work starts.
2
Audit and plan
A manual review of your site and your competitors' sources, then a strategy guide that names the questions you can own and the pages and placements needed to own them. Within 7 business days.
3
Write the pages
Ten pages in the shapes assistants quote: the comparison a buyer would ask for, the honest pricing page, the use-case guide, the facts page. You publish them, or we hand them over ready to publish.
4
Earn the placements
Three DR50+ placements on sites the assistants already cite for your category, so the answer has more than your own word to go on.
5
Check the answers
The same twenty questions, asked again, with the before and after side by side. For weekly checks after delivery, the same team runs Rightcited.

AI SEO by business type

The method is the same; what gets written and where the placements go is not. These pages cover what changes for each kind of business.

SaaS companies →

"Best tool for" and "alternatives to" prompts dominate. Comparison pages and review-site listings do the heavy lifting.

Ecommerce stores →

Shoppers ask for products, not stores. Buying guides, honest category pages and reviews on sites assistants cite.

B2B service firms →

"Who should we hire" questions, answered with proof: case studies, plain pricing and placements in trade publications.

Small businesses →

One price instead of an agency retainer, and the pages that make a local or niche business the name an assistant gives.

Agencies →

Research for every client on one credit pack, and done-for-you fulfilment with a delivery date you can resell.

AI SEO, GEO and AEO: three names, one job

You will see three terms used for this work, and they overlap almost entirely. Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the academic term, coined in a 2023 paper, and it focuses on assistants that generate a written answer: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude. Answer engine optimization (AEO) is older, and it started with featured snippets and voice assistants; today it covers Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode as well as the chat assistants. AI SEO is the plain-English umbrella for both, alongside the Google ranking work that still matters.

At SEO Stuff they are one service. The same pages that an AI Overview lifts a sentence from are the pages Perplexity cites, and the same placement that corroborates you for ChatGPT does it for Gemini. We do not sell the three as separate products, because buyers do not ask three separate kinds of question.

Questions people ask

What does an AI SEO service actually do?

It makes your business one of the sources an assistant reads when it answers a buyer's question. In practice that means pages written to be quoted (direct answers, comparisons, plain pricing), placements on sites the assistants already trust, technical access so their crawlers can read your site, and a before-and-after check of the answers themselves.

How is AI SEO different from regular SEO?

Regular SEO earns a ranking; AI SEO earns a citation. The overlap is large (good content and real authority help both), but assistants weigh things Google's ranking does not: whether a page answers in its first paragraph, whether third-party sources agree with it, and whether the facts about your business are stated plainly anywhere. Ranking well helps; it is not sufficient on its own.

How much does it cost?

The Done-For-You Package is $999 one-time: audit and strategy guide within 7 business days, 10 pages, 3 DR50+ placements, 3,000 research credits and the dashboard, delivered in 21 business days. Nothing renews, and you own everything we build.

Do we need a tracking tool like Profound or Peec as well?

Not to get the work done. Your dashboard shows the baseline and the after-report for twenty buyer questions. If you want weekly checks across a larger set of questions after delivery, the same team runs Rightcited, and the comparison pages on this site cover how it differs from the trackers.

Which assistants do you cover?

ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude in the baseline and after-report, and Google's AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot in the case-study figures. The pages and placements we build are read by all of them; we do not write separate content per assistant.

How long before we see citations?

Delivery takes 21 business days. Assistants pick up new pages and placements over the following weeks, and most clients see meaningful movement in the 60 to 90 days after delivery. Google AI Overviews tend to move first, because they draw on Google's index; the chat assistants follow.

Can you guarantee we will be in the answers?

No, and be careful of anyone who does. We guarantee the deliverables and the delivery date, show you the baseline before the work starts, and show you the after-report when it is done. The case-study figures on this page are what the method has produced for clients with ongoing engagements.
