Search Has Changed. Has Your Strategy?

Traditional SEO was about ranking on page one of Google. That still matters - but it's no longer the whole picture. Today, millions of people ask Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini for recommendations, comparisons, and advice. These platforms generate answers directly, often without users ever clicking through to a website.

AI Search Optimisation (also called GEO - Generative Engine Optimisation) is the practice of ensuring your brand appears, is cited accurately, and is recommended positively within those AI-generated answers. It's the next frontier of digital visibility, and early movers have a genuine advantage.

Why Your Brand May Be Invisible to AI

Most businesses are optimised for 2015's version of search. AI models use different signals entirely - and if you're not building for them, you may already be losing ground.

AI Overviews Are Stealing Your Clicks

Google's AI Overviews appear above organic results and answer the query without a click. If you're not featured in these summaries, your page-one ranking may now be worth less than before.

LLMs Don't Know You Exist

ChatGPT and Gemini draw from third-party sources, forums, directories, and publications - not just your website. If those external signals aren't pointing to you, AI won't recommend you.

Your Competitors Are Moving Fast

AI search is still new enough that early investment delivers outsized returns. The brands building authority in AI-generated answers now are locking competitors out of that space for years.

Questions About AI Search

What is the difference between SEO and AI Search Optimisation?

Traditional SEO focuses on ranking in Google's blue-link results. AI Search Optimisation (GEO) focuses on getting your brand cited and recommended within AI-generated answers from tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews. Both matter - but AI search is where buyer attention is increasingly going first, and it requires a different set of tactics.

Do I need to stop doing SEO if I invest in AI Search?

Not at all. AI search and traditional SEO are complementary. Strong organic rankings, authoritative content, and quality backlinks all signal credibility to AI platforms too. We build both strategies in tandem so your investment works harder across every channel.

How quickly can I expect to see results?

AI visibility improvements typically begin showing within 6–12 weeks for on-site changes, with third-party authority building taking 3–6 months to accumulate meaningfully. We provide monthly reports so you can track progress throughout, and we set realistic expectations from the outset.

Which AI platforms do you optimise for?

We focus on the platforms driving the most commercial search intent: Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. As new AI search tools emerge, we adapt strategies to include them - it's part of ongoing monitoring.

Is AI Search Optimisation suitable for small businesses?

Yes - in fact, smaller businesses with a specific local or niche focus can often achieve strong AI visibility faster than large brands competing in broad categories. HookedOnMedia has helped businesses of all sizes across the UK and beyond improve their AI search presence alongside their existing digital activity.
