Which one is you?
Still ranking, but not in the answer?
Pick the one that sounds like you. Both start with the free AI visibility check.
Rankings held, clicks fell
You still rank. Fewer people click.
- The AI Overview sits above your result, and you are not in it.
- Informational traffic dropped; commercial pages held.
- Nobody can tell you how often you are cited.
First step: Measure your citation share for the questions buyers ask, then rewrite the pages that should be the source so the answer names you.
A competitor got named
Someone typed your category into ChatGPT and got 3 competitors.
- You have an SEO programme; AI was not part of it.
- You need a number, not a hunch.
- You want it reported next to the rankings you already track.
First step: A citation-share baseline by platform, then the entity, schema and content work that moves it, reported monthly in AllNow.
Classic search vs AI search.
Same pages, different reader. Here is what changes when the answer is written for the customer.
| Classic search | AI search | |
|---|---|---|
| How people ask | A few words typed into a box. | A full question, refined over several prompts. |
| What comes back | 10 links. The customer picks. | One answer, with 2 or 3 sources named inside it. |
| What wins | Relevance and authority for the keyword. | The page that answers the question directly, with specifics, from a source other trusted sources mention. |
| Where the click goes | To whoever ranks highest. | To whoever is cited. Being named without a click still builds preference. |
| How we measure | Rankings, sessions, enquiries. | Citation share for your buyer questions, monthly, next to rankings and enquiries. |
What is AI SEO?
AI SEO gets your business named when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews a question you should be the answer to. The result is not a blue link. It is a sentence in the answer with your name in it, or without.
The models read the same web Google does, but they quote differently. They favour pages that answer the question directly, cite specifics, say plainly who wrote them, and are mentioned by other trusted sources. We measure how often you are cited, then change the content, structured data and authority signals that decide it.

How AI SEO works at Q.
The audit in weeks 1 to 2. Citation share moves in months 2 to 4 for most clients.
Step 01 · Weeks 1 to 2
Visibility audit
Your buyer questions run through the major models. Who is cited, from which pages, and why.
You get: A citation-share baseline and the pages that should be sources.
Step 02 · Weeks 2 to 4
Entity and schema
Organisation, service, FAQ and review schema completed. Naming and profiles made consistent across the web.
You get: A site machines can confirm, not just read.
Step 03 · Months 2 to 3
Source-grade content
The pages that should be quoted, rewritten to be quotable. New answers for questions nobody owns yet.
You get: Pages written to be cited, by people, not generated.
Step 04 · Month 3 onward
Authority and reporting
Mentions and links from the sources AI already trusts, with your technical and content SEO kept running underneath, because a slow or thin site is not cited either.
You get: A monthly report of how often AI names you, and who it names instead.

AI SEO agency, Sydney
AI search optimisation for Australian businesses.
Q Agency is an AI SEO agency in Sydney, working for businesses across Western Sydney and Australia. AI SEO, also called generative engine optimisation or answer engine optimisation, is the work of getting your business cited when a customer asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google AI Overviews a question you should be the answer to. We measure your citation share in week 1, rewrite the pages that should be the source, complete the structured data, make your entity signals agree across the web, and earn the mentions the models trust.
It sits on top of SEO rather than replacing it. A page that ranks third can be the one quoted if it answers the question directly, and a page that ranks first can be skipped if it does not. We applied the same work to qagency.com.au in September 2026 and referrals from AI assistants have grown 4.7 times since. Every month you see citation share by platform next to rankings, sessions and enquiries in AllNow, our own reporting platform.
Faqs
Questions we get about AI SEO.
Straight answers. If yours is not here, ask on the call.
What is AI SEO?
Getting your business cited in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. It is source-grade content, structured data, clear entity signals and earned authority, measured by how often you are named for the questions your buyers ask.
Is AI SEO different from GEO or AEO?
Same work, different acronyms. Generative engine optimisation and answer engine optimisation both mean getting cited by language models. We call it AI SEO because it sits on top of your SEO, not beside it.
Does AI SEO replace normal SEO?
No. The models draw on the same web Google indexes, and a slow, thin or badly crawled site will not be cited either. AI SEO is a layer on a working SEO programme, which is why we run both from one plan.
How do you test what ChatGPT says about us?
We run the questions your buyers actually ask through ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, record who is cited and from which pages, and repeat it monthly. That is the free check, and it is the baseline every month's report is measured against.
How do you measure it?
Citation share: of the buyer questions we track, the share where you are named, by platform, every month. It is reported in AllNow next to rankings, sessions and enquiries, so you can see whether being cited is turning into customers.
How long until we are cited?
Citation share moves in months 2 to 4 for most clients, faster than classic rankings, because few businesses are doing the work yet. It depends on the authority you already have and how quickly the source pages can be rewritten.
What if ChatGPT or Gemini says something wrong about us?
It happens more than people expect: an old address, a service you stopped offering, a competitor's claim attributed to you. The free check shows what each model currently says. Fixing it is entity work, making your name, services and locations agree across your site, your profiles and the third-party pages the models trust.
Which AI platforms do you optimise for?
ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot. They draw on overlapping sources, with Bing indexing mattering for ChatGPT and Copilot, so most of the work lifts all of them. The baseline reports each one separately.
Is it worth it for a local business in Western Sydney?
Yes. People ask an assistant for "a good accountant in Penrith" the same way they ask Google, and the answer names 2 or 3 businesses. The same profile, review and entity work that wins the map pack gets you into that answer.
Do you use AI to write the content?
We use AI in research and operations every day. The pages written to be cited are written and edited by our team, because models tend not to quote content that reads like their own output.
