Your customers are now asking AI.

The way people find businesses is changing fast. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews and Claude are quietly replacing the traditional Google search for millions of buying decisions every day.

When someone asks ChatGPT "who does the best ag-photography in the Waikato?" — does your business get mentioned? Right now, for most New Zealand businesses, the answer is no. The AI doesn't know you exist.

That's the problem we solve. We make sure when AI tools are asked about businesses like yours, your name comes up — confidently, accurately, and on your own terms.

How AI search is different.

Showing up in ChatGPT and Perplexity isn't the same as ranking on Google. It needs a different playbook.

  • Structured information AI models can actually parse
  • Citations and mentions across trusted sources
  • Clear answers to the questions people are really asking
  • Fresh signals across the platforms AI tools train on
  • Ongoing monitoring of how AI describes your brand
FAQ

Common Questions

AI search refers to tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google's AI Overviews that answer questions directly instead of returning a list of links. Increasingly, people ask these tools for business recommendations the same way they use Google. If you're not in those answers, you're invisible to a fast-growing slice of your market.

Traditional SEO is about ranking pages on Google's results list. AI search optimisation (sometimes called Generative Engine Optimisation or GEO) is about being included in the answer the AI itself generates. The signals overlap, but they're not identical — AI tools weigh trustworthy mentions, structured data, and clear factual content much more heavily than they weigh keyword density or backlinks.

There’s no “submit your site to ChatGPT” button. Instead, we focus on the fundamentals that drive visibility: making sure your website clearly communicates what you do and who you serve in language AI can understand, building citations across the sources these models draw from, structuring your data so it’s machine-readable, and actively monitoring how AI tools describe your business so we can refine and improve it.

No one honest can. AI models update constantly and their behaviour isn't fully predictable. What we can do is dramatically improve your odds by giving the models everything they need to confidently mention you, and track progress over time so you can see what's working.

AI search optimisation is an ongoing effort, not a one-off project. Most clients start with an audit (fixed price) to see how AI currently describes their business, then move into a monthly engagement to build presence over time. Book a strategy session for a clear quote.
