    AEO and GEO services, brand cited in Google AI Overview and ChatGPT answer
    May 2026 Update

    Google Just Confirmed What We've Been Saying

    In May 2026, Google rolled out its biggest search redesign in 25 years, an "intelligent search box" built around conversational, AI-powered answers rather than keyword lists. Google's own data shows the majority of AI-powered search sessions now end without a single click to an external website.

    This isn't a future trend. It's already how most people are searching. If your brand isn't structured to be the answer inside that conversation, you're invisible in the exact moment a customer is deciding who to hire.

    Your Website Can Rank #1 on Google and Still Be Invisible to AI

    Right now, a potential customer is asking ChatGPT or Google's AI Overview a question your business could answer, "best [your service] in [city]," "top [industry] company near me," "who should I hire for [service]." AI tools don't show ten links back. They give one confident answer, built from a handful of sources they trust.

    If your site isn't structured for that, in most cases you simply don't exist in that conversation. Not because your work isn't good. Because the AI engine has nothing to point to.

    This is the single biggest blind spot in digital marketing right now, and almost no agency is actually built to fix it.

    How Generative Engine Optimisation gets a brand cited by AI

    What is AEO and GEO?

    What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation)?

    AEO, or Answer Engine Optimisation, is the practice of structuring website content so it gets pulled directly into Google's featured snippets, "People Also Ask" boxes, and AI Overviews. It focuses on clear, direct-answer formatting, question-based headings, and FAQ schema markup that search engines can lift word-for-word.

    What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation)?

    GEO, or Generative Engine Optimisation, is the practice of improving how often and how favourably a brand is mentioned by generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. Unlike traditional SEO, GEO relies heavily on third-party trust signals, directory listings, reviews, and structured entity data, since these AI tools mostly synthesise answers from what's already been said about a brand elsewhere, rather than live-crawling websites.

    How is GEO different from traditional SEO?

    Traditional SEO optimises for ranking in a list of links on a search engine results page. GEO optimises for being the single answer an AI tool gives in a conversation, which depends more on entity authority, third-party citations, and structured data than on keyword density or backlink volume alone. A business can rank well on Google and still be entirely absent from AI-generated answers if these signals aren't in place.

    AEO & GEO FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Everything brands ask us before starting an AI Search Optimisation engagement.

    AI engines cite brands they perceive as authoritative on a topic. That depends on three things: high-authority third-party mentions and citations, a clean entity presence with structured data and consistent brand information across the web, and content written in a direct-answer format AI can lift easily. SANMEDIA builds all three as one system rather than treating them as separate tasks.
