AI SEO, GEO and AEO agency in Austin and Round Rock

AI SEO is the practice of making a business easy for AI systems to find, understand and repeat, so that assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews name it when a customer asks for a recommendation. GEO and AEO are the two halves of it.

It includes everything traditional SEO covers, plus passage-level structure, entity clarity through structured data, and corroboration from sources other than your own website.

GEO is the work of getting your business quoted and recommended by engines that write an answer instead of listing links, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews.

It covers what those engines read: your pages, your Google profile, your reviews and what other sites say about you.

AEO is the work of being the direct answer to a question, whether that answer comes from an AI assistant, a voice assistant or a featured snippet at the top of Google.

It overlaps heavily with GEO, so we run both in one program.

It builds on SEO, but it is its own discipline. Google says AI Overviews and AI Mode retrieve through core Search, so crawlability, quality and useful content still decide whether you are eligible.

On top of that, GEO and AEO need their own research, a different page format, off-site corroboration and their own tracking. That is why we run them as a dedicated program.

AI SEO is the umbrella. Generative engine optimization is the subset aimed at engines that write an answer. Answer engine optimization is near enough the same work framed around direct question answering. LLM SEO is the same field named after the technology.

Our GEO vs AEO vs SEO guide compares them side by side. We run all of them as one program, so you never pay three retainers for overlapping work.

No, and nobody can. Assistants give different answers to the same question over time, and no agency controls their output.

What is controllable is whether you are findable, understandable and corroborated, and whether your mentions against a frozen prompt set rise over months. That is what gets reported.

Technical fixes and Google Business Profile work can move within weeks. Content authority and AI recommendation are slower and less predictable, usually months.

Anyone quoting a fixed timeline before opening your Search Console is guessing.

We ask the same twenty to forty real customer questions every week in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews, and every month in Google’s AI Mode and Microsoft Copilot. We log every business each answer names, in what order, and which sources it cites.

Alongside that we report leads and calls first, then rankings and map positions, referral traffic from AI platforms, and branded organic split from non-branded, so nobody takes credit for your own word of mouth.

It matters for identity more than for ranking. Structured data is how a model establishes that the business on this page is the same business as the Google Business Profile, the LinkedIn page and the directory entry.

Get that wrong and you are competing with your own duplicates. A plugin default is usually not enough, because the field that does most of this work, sameAs, is the one plugins leave empty.

Often that is the reason to start. Ranking first and still losing the click is exactly the problem this addresses, because the generated answer above the links already gave the customer two or three names.

If yours was not among them, your position in the list mattered less than it used to.

AI search optimization on its own starts at $999 a month. Our SEO plans run $395 to $1,495 a month, with custom pricing for Dominate, month to month with no setup fee, and AI search is included from the Lead plan, starting at $1,495 a month; the smaller plans cover the foundations AI tools rely on. A baseline audit of Search Console, Analytics, site speed and your current profile tells us which plan fits.

A team of specialists in SEO and AI search, content, web development and ads, with one main contact for your account.

The domain is registered in your name, and the Google Business Profile, Analytics and Search Console are your accounts with us added as a manager. The content we write is yours to keep, and leaving costs nothing.

Yes. We are based in Round Rock and work with businesses across Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Brushy Creek, Bee Cave and the rest of Central Texas, and with businesses across the U.S. remotely.

AI answers about local businesses lean on local signals, like your Google profile, your reviews and local mentions, so knowing this market helps.

We also have pages on AI search in the big Texas metros: AI SEO services in Austin, AI search optimization in Houston, AEO and GEO in San Antonio and AI SEO in Dallas–Fort Worth.

Yes, and the reason has changed. Search still sends the highest-intent traffic a local business gets, but the work now feeds two places at once: the results page, and the AI answers that increasingly sit above it.

What has stopped working is thin content produced at volume. What works is what always worked, done properly: pages that answer a real question, a business that is verifiably real, and a site fast enough to read on a phone.

No, but the shape of it moved. AI assistants do not invent recommendations. They weigh what already exists about you across the internet and summarise it, and that is the same raw material SEO has always worked on: your site, your profile, your reviews, and mentions on pages you do not own.

What is genuinely dying is ranking for its own sake. A position nobody clicks because an AI answered above it was never worth much. Being the business the AI names is the job now.

It does parts of it well: drafting, outlining, spotting what a page fails to answer, summarising a competitor. It cannot tell you why your traffic fell last month, because it cannot see your Search Console, your server logs or your Google Business Profile.

Used to produce volume it actively hurts you, because a page that reads like every other page has nothing to rank for. Used as a drafting tool over facts only you know, it is genuinely useful. That is roughly how we use it.

Google Search Console, and it is free. It is the only tool that shows what your site actually did in Google rather than an estimate of it: which searches you appeared for, where you ranked, what people clicked. Pair it with the Google Business Profile dashboard for the map side.

Paid tools earn their keep when you need competitor data or you are tracking a lot of pages. For a single local business, Search Console and your own phone log answer most of the questions.
