// In short
AI search optimization (also called AEO or GEO) prepares your website so ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude can find, understand and cite it. It builds on normal SEO: crawlable pages, clear answers, consistent business facts, schema and real proof. If Google can’t index your site properly, start with Technical SEO; for local customers, Local SEO. MD Shamim Mahmud audits AI visibility with dated prompt checks and fixes the pages and facts behind it, without promising AI mentions.

You test a few prompts and competitors appear, but you don’t.
Service pages are vague, with no direct answers, prices or facts.
Name, services or contact details differ across your site and profiles.
// What’s included
The audit covers all of these. With audit + fixes, the agreed changes are made on up to 10 key pages.

// Before you decide
They overlap a lot. AI tools mostly use the same signals as search engines, so good SEO is the foundation, and AI search work makes it easier to quote.
