Getting Found with AI Marketing and AISEO

Think about how you find things online. Now think about how your customers are doing it today.

A growing number of them are skipping Google entirely. They’re asking ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity. Not “plumber near me” but “who’s the best plumber in Brentwood for emergency calls?” Those AI tools don’t pull from everywhere. They pull from sources they’ve determined to be credible, well-structured, and authoritative. If your business isn’t one of them, you’re not showing up at all.

Traditional SEO still matters. It just isn’t the whole answer anymore. AISEO, which stands for AI Search Engine Optimization, is how VIEWS makes sure your business shows up where your prospects are actually looking now.

What Is AISEO?

When someone Googles something, they get a list of links. When they ask an AI the same question, they get a direct answer citing specific businesses, experts, and sources the model has decided are trustworthy.

AI models evaluate authority, content depth, and structured information. Keyword density and backlinks alone won’t get you there. Most local businesses haven’t addressed this yet. That gap is a real opportunity right now, and it won’t stay open forever.

Traditional SEO optimizes a website for search engine rankings (e.g., Google, Bing, etc.). AISEO optimizes to be cited in AI engines (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini), becoming the business that AI recommends when your prospect asks for help.

LLMs (Large Language Models) evaluate authority, structured information, and content depth, not just keyword density and backlinks.

Most local businesses aren’t optimized for AI search yet. That gap is your window.

The businesses that act now will own those AI recommendations. The ones who wait will be catching up.

AISEO has many names in this evolving marketing place like:

GEO

(Generative Engine Optimization)

as Google calls it

AEO

(Answer Engine Optimization)

AIO

(AI Optimization)

LLMO

(Large Language Model Optimization)

AISO

(AI Search Optimization)

Same idea, different acronyms. We track all of it so you don’t have to.

Our AI Marketing Services

LLM Optimization

We make your business visible to the AI models your prospects are already using.

  • We restructure your content for LLM visibility, building authority signals around your services, location, and expertise so AI models can read and cite you accurately.
  • We run prompt testing, asking AI the actual questions your prospects ask, and we work until your business comes up.
  • We align your technical SEO so both traditional and AI search signals work together.
  • We keep updating, because AI search is not static and neither is our approach.

LLM Reporting

You can’t manage what you can’t measure.

LLM Reporting gives you a clear, regular picture of where your business stands in AI search.

  • Every month you get custom reporting on your AI presence separate from your traditional rankings, tracking where your brand appears across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and others.
  • We benchmark you against competitors going after the same recommendations, and every report comes with strategy adjustments built in. Not a document that sits in your inbox.

Who Needs AISEO?

If your prospects ask questions before they buy, you need AISEO. That means:

Local service businesses, legal, medical, home services, and financial advisors, where customers are searching for ‘who should I call?’

B2B companies in knowledge-heavy industries where buyers research heavily before ever reaching out

Businesses that compete on expertise, where being found as the authoritative answer by AI carries more weight than a paid ad

Companies who invested in traditional SEO and want to protect that investment by staying ahead of where search is going

How is AISEO different from regular SEO?

Traditional SEO gets you ranked in search results. AISEO gets you cited by AI models when your prospects ask for recommendations. Both matter, but AISEO is the newer, less crowded opportunity that most businesses haven’t addressed yet. 

How do I know if AI search is sending me customers?

That’s what LLM Reporting tracks. We monitor your presence across AI platforms, measure how often your business is cited, and report on it monthly with context and next steps. 

How long does it take to appear in AI search results?

Most clients begin seeing measurable improvement in AI citations within 60–90 days of optimization. AI search is still evolving rapidly, and early movers tend to hold their positions longer. 

Do I still need traditional SEO?

Yes. Traditional SEO and AISEO work best together. Strong traditional SEO creates the authority signals that LLMs use to decide who to cite. We build both strategies to reinforce each other.
