Your customers stopped Googling. They are asking ChatGPT. Are you being cited?
60% of Google searches now end without a click. 800 million people use ChatGPT every week. Google AI Overviews appear on 47% of queries. If your brand is not engineered to be cited inside those answers, your competitors are.
Why Classic SEO Alone No Longer Wins
Your competitors are being recommended in ChatGPT. You aren't.
Buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini for recommendations before they ever open Google. If your brand is not in the model's answer, you do not exist in the consideration set.
Google AI Overviews steal 47% of your clicks before they happen.
AI Overviews now appear above the blue links on nearly half of all queries. Users get the answer at the top of the page and never scroll to your hard-earned ranking.
Your SEO agency optimises for blue links. Buyers want answers.
Most agencies still chase keyword rank only. AEO and GEO require entity engineering, schema, citation seeding, and answer-formatted content. Different game, different stack.
Three Different Optimisation Layers, One Visibility Strategy
Modern search visibility is a stack. Each layer targets a different surface, uses different tactics, and produces a different outcome. You need all three.
| Layer | SEO | GEO | AEO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goal | Rank in classic blue links | Be cited inside generative AI answers | Win position-zero answer boxes |
| Surface | Google + Bing SERPs | ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude | Featured snippets, AI Overviews, voice |
| Tactics | Keywords, backlinks, on-page | Entity engineering, citation seeding, brand mentions across LLM training sources | Schema, FAQ markup, answer-first content, concise definitions |
| Outcome | Organic clicks to your site | Brand recommendation inside AI responses | Direct answer attribution above the fold |

GEO & AEO FAQs
What is GEO?
+
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimisation. It is the practice of engineering your brand, content, and entity signals so that generative AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini cite or recommend you inside their answers. The aim is brand presence inside AI responses, not just blue-link rankings.
What is AEO?
+
AEO is Answer Engine Optimisation. It targets answer surfaces: Google AI Overviews, featured snippets, voice search, and People Also Ask. Tactics include FAQ schema, HowTo schema, direct 40-60 word answers under each heading, and concise definitions that an answer engine can lift verbatim.
What's the difference between SEO, GEO, and AEO?
+
SEO targets Google blue links using keywords and backlinks. GEO targets generative AI tools like ChatGPT using entity engineering and citation seeding. AEO targets answer boxes and AI Overviews using schema and answer-formatted content. They overlap but solve different visibility problems and need different tactics.
Does Google AI Overviews count as GEO or AEO?
+
Both, depending on framing. Google AI Overviews are generated by a large language model so optimising for them is GEO. They also appear as an answer surface above the blue links so optimising for them is AEO. In practice we treat AI Overviews as a hybrid target and use both stacks.
How do I appear in ChatGPT answers?
+
ChatGPT cites brands that appear consistently across the third-party sources its model and live web tools draw from. That means earning mentions on listicles, comparison guides, Wikipedia, Wikidata, Crunchbase, and high-authority publications, plus structured data on your own site. We engineer that footprint as a programmatic workflow.
How much does GEO and AEO cost in Singapore?
+
Our one-off AI visibility audit is $2,500. Full programmatic GEO and AEO retainers start at $3,800 per month and scale to enterprise tiers for multi-brand or competitive verticals. Pricing depends on industry, competitor density, and the size of the citation footprint we need to build.
How long until I see results?
+
Schema and AEO wins can show inside 30 to 60 days as Google reindexes. GEO citation visibility typically takes 90 to 180 days because LLMs refresh training and retrieval sources on their own cadence. We track weekly prompt panels from day one so you see directional movement long before the headline metrics shift.
Why is BestSEO different from a generic SEO agency?
+
We are one of the few Singapore agencies running a programmatic GEO and AEO stack alongside classic SEO. The same engine that produced 2,000+ page-one keywords and $33M+ in tracked client revenue has been retooled for AI search. You get the audit, entity engineering, citation seeding, and weekly LLM tracking under one roof.
