FAQ

Common questions about AI Search Optimization.

Is AI search optimization different from SEO?

Overlapping but not identical. Schema, entity clarity, citation-worthy content, and answer formatting matter more for AI surfaces. Traditional SEO signals still help, especially backlinks and topical authority.

How do you track AI citations?

Defined prompt sets per category, run weekly against Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT (with search), Perplexity, and Claude. Citations parsed and stored with prompt, position, and surrounding context.

How long until I see AI citations?

Schema and content changes can show up in AI Overviews in 2-6 weeks. ChatGPT and Perplexity citations tend to follow within 30-60 days of schema work landing.

How much does AI search optimization cost?

We quote AI search optimization after a free audit. Most clients bundle it with SEO. Standalone is available when GEO is the only lever in scope.

Will AI Overviews kill organic traffic?

For some queries, yes. For most B2B and local queries, AI surfaces add a citation layer rather than replace clicks. We optimize for both.

Is this just a rebrand of SEO?

No. The playbook overlaps but schema, entity disambiguation, and definitional content carry more weight. We treat AI surfaces as a distinct measurement target with its own dashboard.
