AI SEO Agency: SEO, AEO & GEO Services

Found on Google and Named by AI.

Search is changing. Google rankings still matter, but your customers are also getting answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Siri, and Google AI Overviews. Those answers name specific businesses. If yours isn't one of them, you're not in the conversation. Based in London and working UK-wide, we start every project with our free SEO audit, the Visibility Snapshot.

Three Channels, One Strategy

Why All Three Matter

Google & Bing Rankings

Traditional Search

SEO

Google & Bing Rankings

Everything else rests on this. Get site architecture, Core Web Vitals, keyword intent, and local signals right, and customers searching Google have a far better chance of finding you.

Siri, Alexa & Google Assistant

Voice Search

AEO

Siri, Alexa & Google Assistant

Voice queries are conversational. 'Best plumber near me' spoken to a phone needs one answer, not a page of options. We structure your content to give you the best shot at being that answer.

ChatGPT, Perplexity & Gemini

AI Answer Engines

GEO

ChatGPT, Perplexity & Gemini

When someone asks ChatGPT who to call, it names specific businesses. We build the signals that give your brand a better chance of being in that answer, rather than somewhere down a results page.

  1. Step 1

    The question

    "Which roofers near Guildford have good reviews?" typed into ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini.

  2. Step 2

    The search

    The assistant runs its own web search, through an index like Bing's or Google's.

    Where businesses drop out: Pages that aren't indexed, or rank too low to come back.

  3. Step 3

    The read

    It opens the pages that come back and pulls out text it can quote.

    Where businesses drop out: Vague copy, no prices, content loaded by scripts.

  4. Step 4

    The cross-check

    Reviews, Google Business Profile, directories and press mentions either back your site up or they don't.

    Where businesses drop out: A name, address or phone number that doesn't match.

  5. Step 5

    The answer

    It names two or three businesses, usually with a link or a citation.

    Where businesses drop out: Too few outside mentions to be trusted.

How an AI assistant gets from a question to the businesses it names. SEO gets you through the search, clear answers and structured data get you through the read, and outside mentions get you through the cross-check.

The GEO Framework

Six Workstreams.
One Goal: A Consistent Story.

AI citation doesn't come from one thing done well. It comes from entity signals, content, structured data, and external references all telling the same story. We work on all six.

01

Entity Authority & Knowledge Graph Alignment

AI engines don't rank pages. They cite businesses they've seen referenced consistently across the web. We give Google's Knowledge Graph clear signals to work from, with accurate JSON-LD schema, consistent directory listings, and aligned brand signals that AI can verify across sources.

02

Citable Content Writing

Generic blog content gets skipped when an AI is summarising a topic. We write in the formats AI pulls from: clear FAQ answers, specific comparisons, and data-backed passages with a real point of view. That gives AI something worth quoting.

03

Advanced Schema & Structured Data

Structured data is how machines read your business. We add JSON-LD markup across Service, Product, FAQPage, LocalBusiness, and BreadcrumbList, so AI models get a clear picture of what you do, where you operate, and who you serve.

04

Alternative Search Visibility

ChatGPT's live search draws heavily on Bing. DuckDuckGo and Brave are building real audiences. We work to get your brand properly indexed in each of these as well as Google's, because AI tools don't all draw on the same index.

05

Social Signal & Community Presence

Reddit and Quora matter more than most businesses realise. AI tools pull from community discussions when forming category answers, so taking part in those conversations can shape how your brand gets described.

06

Continuous AI Engine Monitoring

AI models update their behaviour constantly. Each month we test how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude respond to your core queries. We track where you appear and where you don't, then adjust whatever's slipped.

Common Questions

SEO, AEO & GEO Explained

What is GEO and how is it different from SEO?

SEO works on getting your pages ranking in Google's results. GEO works on making your brand easier for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews to find and cite in the answers they produce. You can have strong SEO and still be missing from AI answers. They work differently and each needs its own attention.

What is AEO and why does it matter for UK businesses?

AEO is about structuring your content so voice assistants are more likely to return your business as the spoken answer instead of one result among many. With so many people using voice assistants at home and on their phones, the difference between being the answer and being option four is often the difference between a call and nothing.

How long does it take to appear in AI search results?

Real movement (featured snippets, voice answers, AI answer appearances) tends to show around months three to four, though nobody can promise a date. The timeline depends on how established your existing content and entity signals already are. The work compounds, so progress tends to accelerate once the foundations are solid.

Do I need GEO if I already rank well on Google?

Usually, yes. They overlap less than you'd expect. A business can hold a strong Google ranking and still be missing from ChatGPT, Perplexity, or AI Overviews. These systems weigh different signals and update independently. GEO works on that gap.

Stop Being Invisible to AI.

More UK searches are starting inside AI tools, and plenty of local businesses aren't showing up in those answers yet. Our free SEO audit, the Visibility Snapshot, shows where you're missing and what it would take to change that.

"Highly recommend RankLocal. I was apprehensive at first as had been let down with a previous agency I used, but went with the Growth Engine and the level of insight, professional development and web exposure obtained from this was way above my expectation. Dan is clearly very knowledgeable in this field and extremely proactive."

Daniel Byatt

"I had a site for my 1 man company for years that never really gained much traction so I decided to bring it up to date. Rank Local rebuilt the site and it looks so much better — modern and easier to navigate. I've already been contacted by people from the site so whatever they did, they did it right. Thanks again Dan."

"Great service from Rank Local Agency. They redone my site — now I appear in AI search results for my business in Richmond. Using them for my social media management, all going well, nothing to fault. Recommended them to a friend also."
