The New Pillars of Search Engine Optimisation
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation)
This is your foundation for online visibility. Traditional SEO covers the essential practices that ensure your website is user-friendly, helpful, and technically sound.
We focus on optimising the overall health and user experience of your site, from technical elements like site speed and crawlability to high-quality content that satisfies search queries.
Since over 50% of traffic comes from organic search, SEO is the long-term strategy that earns your business trust, awareness, and credibility by positioning you where your customers are looking.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation)
While Google still commands a massive 90% market share, AI is being woven directly into the search experience.
We use GEO to prepare your brand for a world where AI Overviews and other Large Language Models (LLMs) like Gemini and ChatGPT are part of the conversation.
GEO is about optimising for the future by creating authoritative, high-quality, and original content that establishes your brand as the thought leader in your industry. This future-proofs your strategy, making sure that when an AI uses a source, it's you.
AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation)
This is the key to winning in the new search landscape. Think of AEO as a way to jump the queue.
The goal is to have your business selected as the single, definitive answer that Google shows instantly - in the AI Overviews, or even when someone uses a voice assistant like Siri or Alexa.
We help you structure your content to directly solve your customers' problems, answer their questions clearly, and make sure you're the trusted voice being cited. This is how you stay visible in AI search and turn those "zero-click" searches into a win for your brand.
STILL NOT SURE?
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We understand the importance of clarity and are here to provide answers to your most common queries.
Where is AI visibility highest?
AI Overview (AIO) visibility is highest for informational/question-based queries, showing for 57.9% of these searches. This is where we strategically target for AEO (Answer Engine Optimization).
Should we care about AIO for e-commerce?
Not as a primary focus. AIOs show for only 3.2% of Shopping queries. We maintain a traditional SEO focus on commercial/Shopping content to maximize sales conversions, as this is currently a low-return area for AIO.
Why are our organic clicks decreasing?
Organic CTR (Click-Through Rate) can drop by up to 65% when an AIO is present on the SERP (Search Engine Results Page). The AI is providing the answer, which leads to fewer clicks to the original source. Meanwhile, only 1% of AIO appearances lead to a citation click.
How does AEO protect our revenue?
AEO-Intent Focus protects revenue by being selective. We use AEO to capture the Authority Win on informational queries (the 60% visibility window) to build brand trust, while deliberately maintaining traditional SEO for high-converting commercial content (the 3.2% visibility zone) to maximize direct sales.
What is the maximum visibility we can achieve on one query?
The maximum visibility is Holistic SERP Optimisation, meaning we implement AEO alongside traditional SEO to capture every feature on the results page. This positions your brand as the undeniable, cited expert above all competition.
How does AIO affect my local business?
AIO is an opportunity to be cited as the local authority. Our strategy works to secure the entire local search real estate for local queries: the Map Pack, AIO citation, and Organic SERP. This drives high-conversion foot traffic by making your business the most prominent and authoritative option across all high-value local features.
How do you ensure our brand isn't inaccurately cited by LLMs?
We focus on building verifiable Genuine Authority through high-trust platforms and authoritative content structure. This signals to AI and ranking systems that your content is a highly reliable source, which is the primary defense against being incorrectly cited by biased or inaccurate LLM results.
How much search volume is actually happening on ChatGPT?
The massive commercial opportunity remains in traditional search. All LLMs combined account for less than 2% of total query volume, whereas Google handles 15+ billion searches per day (90% market share).
Should we stop optimising for Google?
No. We employ a Balanced Budget Allocation, focusing the majority of resources on the core SERP traffic because the commercial volume that converts today resides in the 90% share owned by Google. AEO is used as a strategic layer to build future authority, but not at the expense of immediate commercial impact.
