It is still early

People still use Google. But each year more of them ask an AI app as well. It is not too late to become one of the names it says.

This is exactly what you get in your report

Not a single search, but a full analysis of how ChatGPT and Gemini decide who to recommend in your area: the pattern across up to 200 of their answers, the websites they read to choose, what they believe about you, and why other businesses are chosen ahead of you.

  • Your AI rankingWhere you sit among every local business the apps recommend, in your main business area and across your city, for each app and each question.
  • Who the apps recommend instead, and whyThe businesses named most, what they have that you don't, and the websites the apps took them from.
  • What the apps believe about youThe facts each app states about your business, with anything wrong or contradictory flagged, such as old opening hours.
  • Your own list of what to fix, in orderWhat to change on your Google listing, on your website and on the other websites the apps read, starting with what matters most.

Inside the analysis

Six layers of evidence. Every finding checked before it reaches you.

  1. Up to 200 AI answersChatGPT and Gemini, asked what your customers ask, again and again, until the pattern is clear.
  2. Every business counted onceName variations merged, so the ranking is fair.
  3. The sources AI readsThe sites behind the answers, and whether you're on them.
  4. What AI believes about youYour hours, phone and services as each app states them.
  5. Your Google presenceYour place on Google Maps, in search, and your listing.
  6. Your website, as AI sees itUp to 20 pages checked for what AI needs to find you.

Then we put it together: why AI picks other businesses over yours, and what to change first.

How it works

No software to install and nothing to learn.

  1. Tell us who you areYour business name, what your business does and your main business area. Then pay on a secure page: A$5 for your first report.
  2. We run the full analysisUp to 200 AI answers, the websites behind them, your Google presence and your own website, each examined and compared with the businesses the apps choose.
  3. Your report arrivesBy email, as a private web page and a PDF, usually within about 20 minutes.

Questions owners ask

Is this the same as SEO?

It is a close cousin. The proper name for it is GEO, generative engine optimisation: being recommended in the answers AI apps write. We call it AI SEO because that is easier to picture. SEO is about where you appear in Google's list of websites. GEO is about whether ChatGPT and Gemini say your name when a customer asks them who to call. They are not the same: in our own test, only about 4 of the 10 businesses Google Maps showed first were also among the ten the apps named most.

Why only ChatGPT and Gemini?

They are the two most-used AI chat apps in Australia, about 7 in every 10 uses between them, so they come first. Copilot, Perplexity and Claude can be added on request: write to hello@aiseosorted.com.

What if the apps never mention me?

Then the report is at its most useful. It shows who they name instead, which websites they read to find those businesses, and the first things to change.

Can you promise the apps will recommend me?

No, and nobody honestly can. The apps decide for themselves. The report shows where you stand today and the changes most likely to help.
