AI Search Visibility (AEO)
Search is changing fast. More and more people skip Google entirely and ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Claude what to book, where to eat, or which dive shop to trust on Bonaire. The AI gives them an answer — often without a single click to your website.
That’s both a threat and an opportunity. If your business is mentioned in those AI answers, you get qualified visitors who already trust the recommendation. If you’re not — your competitors are getting the bookings while you’re still optimizing for Google’s first page.
You don't want more clicks — you want more results.
When tourists ask ChatGPT where to dive on Bonaire, your business should be the answer — not someone else’s.

Why AI Search Visibility matters now, not later
Roughly half of all searches in 2026 already include some form of AI-generated answer. By the time AI search is the default — and it will be — early movers will own the citations. Late movers will spend years catching up. This is the SEO of 2010 all over again, just compressed into 24 months.
- A dive shop cited in ChatGPT’s “best dive operators Bonaire” answer reaches divers before they ever Google
- A hotel mentioned in Perplexity for “boutique stays Bonaire” gets pre-trusted traffic — visitors arrive ready to book
- A restaurant referenced in Google AI Overviews captures hungry tourists at the exact moment they’re choosing where to eat
- A car rental visible in Claude or Gemini answers shows up in the planning phase, weeks before arrival
What’s actually included in AI Search Visibility
AEO — Answer Engine Optimization — is a different game than SEO. It’s not just keywords and backlinks. It’s structured information, citation-worthy content, and being mentioned by the sources AI models trust. Here’s what we work on:
- AI visibility audit — we check what ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, Gemini and Claude say about your business right now (and what they say about your competitors)
- Citation-ready content — pages structured the way AI models pull answers from: clear questions, direct answers, fact-dense paragraphs
- Schema and structured data — markup that tells AI systems exactly what your business is, where you are, and what you offer
- Third-party citations — mentions on the travel sites, directories, and review platforms AI models actually read
- Brand-mention monitoring — monthly tracking of how often (and how accurately) your business shows up across the five major AI search engines
- Conversational keyword strategy — optimizing for the long, natural-language questions people ask AI (“where can I rent a 4×4 on Bonaire for a week”), not just the short ones they type into Google

How we work together
We start with a baseline scan — what do the five major AI search engines say about you today, and where do they cite your competitors instead? You get a plain-language report with the gaps and the quickest wins. From there, we build out a 3-month roadmap that fits your business and your budget.
Every month you get a clear update: where your brand mentions have grown, which AI engines are citing you, and what we’re working on next. This is a long game — but doing it now beats doing it in two years when everyone else has caught up.

Asked Questions

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of optimizing your business and your content to be mentioned, cited, and recommended by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. It’s similar in spirit to SEO, but the rules are different — AI models prioritize structured, fact-dense, citation-worthy content over keyword density and backlinks alone.
How do you know if my business is already visible in AI search?
We run a baseline scan across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, Gemini, and Claude using the questions your potential customers are actually asking (“best dive shops Bonaire,” “where to stay on Bonaire,” etc.). You get a clear before-snapshot: which AI engines mention you, which mention competitors instead, and where the easiest wins are.
How long until I see results?
Some changes — like adding structured data and updating page formats — can shift AI visibility within weeks. Building citations on external sources and earning consistent mentions takes longer, usually 3 to 6 months. The earlier you start, the bigger your head start when AI search becomes the default.
Isn't this just SEO with a new label?
There’s overlap, but no — AEO is genuinely different. Google rewards keyword relevance and link authority. AI models reward clear questions and direct answers, structured facts, and being cited by trustworthy sources. A page that ranks #1 on Google can be invisible in ChatGPT, and vice versa. We work on both, but the techniques differ.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will mention my business?
No. AI models change constantly, and no agency can guarantee a specific mention any more than they can guarantee a #1 Google ranking. What we can guarantee is a structured approach that meaningfully increases your odds — and monthly reporting that shows exactly what’s changing. It beats doing nothing.
Do I need this if my Google SEO is already strong?
Strong Google SEO helps — AI models read many of the same sources Google does. But ranking on Google doesn’t automatically mean being cited by ChatGPT. The formats, signals, and behaviors are different. If you’re already a strong SEO player, AEO is the natural next layer.
How much does AI Search Visibility cost?
Pricing depends on scope — a one-time AI visibility audit is the easiest entry point, then ongoing monthly work scales with how many AI engines you want tracked and how aggressive the content and citation plan is. Get in touch and we’ll put together a proposal that fits your budget.
