Search engine optimisation (SEO)

Ranking first on Google is now only the first layer. Customers also get answers from AI Overviews and chat assistants that never show a list of links. We make sure your business is visible in every one of them.

In short

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is improving your website so people find it in search results. Today that also means answer engine optimisation (AEO) — being the source in featured answers and AI Overviews — and generative engine optimisation (GEO) — being cited by assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. Brands Boost Hub works on all three as one system.

Scope

What we deliver

Technical SEO

Crawlability, site speed, structure, canonical URLs, sitemaps and structured data so search engines can find and understand every page.

Content and on-page SEO

Pages and articles written around real customer questions, with clear answers at the top.

Answer engine optimisation (AEO)

Question-led content, FAQ and schema markup built to be lifted into featured snippets, AI Overviews and voice answers.

Generative engine optimisation (GEO)

Entity clarity, author and brand signals, an llms.txt file and third-party mentions so AI assistants recognise and recommend you.

Local SEO

Google Business Profile, consistent business details and location pages that win customers nearby.

Measurement and reporting

Rankings, traffic, AI citations and enquiries tracked in plain-English monthly reports.

Framework

The five layers of search visibility

  1. 1

    Traditional search

    Google and Bing results: site structure, speed, keywords, links and authority.

  2. 2

    AI Overviews and answers

    Content structured so search engines can extract and cite the answer.

  3. 3

    Conversational AI

    ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini recommending brands they recognise as authorities.

  4. 4

    Comparison content

    Clear, honest comparisons that give algorithms and people the facts to choose you.

  5. 5

    Third-party authority

    Mentions and reviews on credible sites that AI models trust when forming recommendations.

Our full guide to the five layers is on the blog — or start with the SEO vs AEO vs GEO glossary.

Process

How it works

  1. 01

    Audit

    Technical health, content gaps, competitors and where AI assistants currently mention you.

  2. 02

    Foundations

    Fix crawling, speed, structure and structured data first — everything else builds on it.

  3. 03

    Create and optimise

    Publish answer-first content and strengthen entity and authority signals.

  4. 04

    Measure and refine

    Track results, repeat what works and refresh content on a regular cycle.

FAQ

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO): your questions answered

What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?

SEO earns rankings in traditional search results. AEO (answer engine optimisation) structures content so search engines can lift it into featured snippets and AI Overviews. GEO (generative engine optimisation) builds the reputation and signals that make AI assistants such as ChatGPT or Perplexity mention and recommend you.

Does SEO still matter now that AI answers questions directly?

Yes. AI answers draw on pages that are crawlable, trusted and well structured, so strong traditional SEO is the foundation. Without it, the other layers have nothing to build on.

How long does SEO take to work?

Technical fixes can show effects within weeks, but content and authority build over months. We set expectations after an audit and report progress every month.

How do you measure AI visibility?

We test a set of real customer questions across Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini on a regular schedule, and record which brands are cited — including yours and your competitors.

Do you rebuild my website for SEO?

Only if it is the best option. Many sites can be improved in place. When a rebuild is warranted we plan redirects and structured data so rankings are protected.
