The Shift
When someone asks ChatGPT for a recommendation or Google serves an AI Overview above your listing, your traditional rankings are only part of the picture. The brands that get cited in AI answers win the click. The ones that don’t become invisible.
The zero-click rate jumps to 83% when an AI Overview appears. Only 11% of domains get cited by both ChatGPT and Perplexity. Brand search volume, not backlinks, is the strongest predictor of AI citations.
This is happening now. And the businesses that adapt first win the most.
What We Do
We don’t bolt AI SEO on as an extra. We build AI search visibility into the SEO strategy we already deliver. Because the work that gets you cited by AI is the same work that drives organic rankings.
Crawlability, structured data, schema markup, Core Web Vitals, and site architecture. If AI platforms can’t find and parse your content, they can’t cite it. Our technical SEO makes sure they can.
Answer-first structure. Clear headings. Statistics from real sources. Content written by humans with genuine expertise. The kind of content AI platforms want to reference.
Quality backlinks, digital PR, and brand mentions. Brand search volume is the number one predictor of AI citations. Link building and brand visibility drive everything.
We track your brand mentions across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. You’ll see exactly which pages get cited, how often, and what’s driving it.
Platform Coverage
Each platform sources content differently. We optimise for all of them through one unified SEO strategy.
Pulls from Google’s own index. Strong organic rankings and fresh, structured content are the entry requirements.
Draws from major publications, Wikipedia, and authoritative sources. Brand authority and content depth drive citations.
Crawls the web in real time. Leans on Reddit, YouTube, and recently published content. Freshness wins here.
We’ll run a free AI visibility check across Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity for your top keywords.
Why Six Digital
Other agencies are packaging AIO and GEO as brand new services with separate strategies and separate invoices. We think that’s wrong.
Our position
Google says it themselves: “There are no additional requirements to appear in AI Overviews. The best practices for SEO remain relevant.” AI SEO is not a new discipline. It’s SEO done to the standard it should always be done.

Why the industry is rebranding SEO under new acronyms, and what it means for your business.
Explore how ChatGPT and Google are shaping modern search, why SEO still matters, and what businesses need to do to stay visible across both.
AIO stands for AI Optimisation. It means structuring your content so AI platforms like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity can understand, extract, and cite it. In practice, this uses the same techniques as good SEO: structured data, clear headings, authoritative content, and technical crawlability.
GEO stands for Generative Engine Optimisation. The term comes from a 2023 research paper by Princeton, IIT Delhi, and Georgia Tech. The strategies they found most effective are all SEO fundamentals: citing sources, adding statistics, clear structure, and authoritative references.
No. Google confirms there are no additional requirements to appear in AI Overviews beyond standard SEO best practices. If an agency is selling GEO as a separate service, ask what they’re doing that a good SEO agency doesn’t already cover.
AI Overviews pull from indexed content. The better your pages rank organically, the more likely they are to be cited. Key factors: technical crawlability, structured data, answer-first content, freshness, and brand authority. 85% of citations come from content under two years old.
No. Every AI search tool pulls from the indexed web. If your content isn’t ranking through SEO, it won’t appear in AI results either. GEO describes a subset of SEO outcomes, not a replacement.
