AI search optimization — SEO, AEO & GEO

Be the answer.

When someone asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Google for a recommendation in your market, your business is either in the answer or it isn’t. Bodhi & Co measures which — then works on it, from your website out.

What is SEO?

Search engine optimization: being the result Google and Bing rank when people search. Titles, content, speed, structure and links. It’s still the foundation everything else stands on.

What is AEO?

Answer engine optimization: shaping your site so AI summaries and featured answers quote you — question-led headings, direct answers and structured data. You become the answer, not a link under it.

What is GEO?

Generative engine optimization: getting ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot to recommend your business by name when buyers ask. It runs on clear facts about your business, quotable proof and the third-party sources the engines cite.

Why does AI search matter now?

In our 2026 tests, 41 of 108 businesses were never cited in any AI answer about their own market, and a business’s own website made up 5% of the sources the engines cited. Anyone who asks an AI assistant for a recommendation gets that answer. Read the report.

Can anyone guarantee an AI recommendation?

No — and be wary of anyone who says they can. The engines decide. What we can do is give them good reasons to pick you: clear facts, answer-ready pages, consistent listings and reviews. Then we re-test each month so you can see what changed.

What does the free AI visibility check include?

Two parts, both free. The instant check reads your website the way an AI crawler does and gives you twelve results in about ten seconds. For the full check we run the questions a customer would ask through ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, show you who gets recommended, and hand you a prioritized fix list — yours to keep either way.

The free check.

What you get

  1. We ask the engines

    The questions a customer would ask, run live across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. We record what the engines answer rather than predicting it.

  2. You see the answers

    Who gets recommended, which sources the engines lean on, and the gaps we can see on your own site.

  3. You get the fix list

    Prioritized: titles and headings, answer-shaped pages, schema, crawler access, directories and reviews — then monthly re-tests to see what changed.

Is AI recommending you yet? Let’s find out.

Start with the free instant check: it reads your website the way an AI crawler does, in about ten seconds. Then ask us for the full check, where we put a customer’s questions to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity and show you who they name.
