AI SEO Services That Get Your Business Named in AI Answers
Rexnain's AI SEO services help Australian businesses get mentioned and cited when customers ask ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity or Copilot for a recommendation. We find where AI tools already describe your brand, fix what stops them from reading your website, publish clear answers to the questions your buyers ask, and build the mentions AI systems trust. You get a monthly AI visibility report showing which prompts name you and which name your competitors.

THE NEW DISCOVERY JOURNEY
Search visibility is changing. Your strategy should too.
AI search visibility is how often AI tools mention, recommend or link to your business when people ask them questions. The work behind it goes by several names: AI SEO, generative engine optimisation (GEO), answer engine optimisation (AEO) and LLM SEO. They all describe the same goal from slightly different angles, and you may also see it called AI search optimisation or GEO SEO.
01
AEO — Answer Engine Optimisation
AEO focuses on your own pages: clear answers, structured content and schema that AI tools can quote.
02
GEO — Generative Engine Optimisation
GEO focuses on the wider web: the reviews, listings, articles and mentions AI systems use to decide which brands to trust.
03
LLM SEO — Search for AI Answers
LLM SEO is a broader term for both, named after the large language models behind tools such as ChatGPT and Gemini.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Why AI answers now matter for Australian businesses
Australians now use AI tools to find information every day, and many stop at the answer without clicking a website. That changes who gets the enquiry: the business named in the answer, not only the one ranked first.
RESEARCH
Australian AI adoption
12% now see AI tools as their main way of finding information online, up from 5% a year earlier
RESEARCH
AI as a discovery channel
About half of people aware of AI summaries say they would often rely on the summary without clicking through

Search behaviour is shifting
ChatGPT has 13.8 million Australian users and Google Gemini has 9.1 million

WHAT WE DO
A complete AI search visibility system
Every plan starts with an audit, then covers the content, technical and reputation work that decides whether AI tools name your business. Our AEO services cover your own website, and our GEO work covers the rest of the web. Each part builds on normal SEO, because AI systems still draw on search indexes and the open web.
01
AI visibility audit
We run the questions your customers ask through ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Gemini and Perplexity and record which businesses get named. You see where you appear, where competitors appear instead, and which sources the AI tools cite.
02
Answer first content (AEO)
We rewrite and add pages so each one answers a real buyer question in its first few sentences, then backs it up with prices, steps, comparisons and proof. Clear answers with specific facts are easier for AI tools to quote than general marketing copy.
03
Entity and brand signals (GEO)
AI systems need to be sure who you are. We make your business name, services, location, people and contact details consistent across your website, Google Business Profile, directories and social profiles, so every source describes the same business.
04
Schema markup
We add Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage, Product and Person schema where it fits, so search engines can read your key details without guessing.
05
Technical access for AI crawlers
Some websites block the crawlers AI tools use, often by accident through a firewall or security plugin. We check robots.txt, server rules and page rendering so Googlebot, Bingbot, OAI-SearchBot and other search crawlers can reach and read your content.
06
Mentions and citations on trusted sites
AI answers often cite reviews, directories, news articles, comparison lists and forums. We earn real mentions in the places your industry's AI answers already draw on, through PR, partnerships, guest content and review growth.
07
Google Business Profile for local answers
For local businesses, the profile on Google Maps is a major source. BrightLocal's 2026 local AI visibility study of about 200,000 searches found Google Business Profile was the largest single source AI tools cited for local queries, at about 28.6% of citations, while business websites made up 42%.
08
AI visibility tracking and reporting
We track a fixed set of prompts every month across the main AI platforms and report your share of mentions, the sources cited and the change over time.
THE WARNING SIGNS
Signs your business is missing from AI answers
Most owners notice the problem in one of these ways:
01
Visibility gap
ChatGPT or Gemini names your competitors when you ask for the best provider in your area, but not you.
02
Outdated AI answers
AI tools describe your business wrongly, with old prices, a past address or services you no longer offer.
03
Less traffic, same rankings
Organic traffic is falling while rankings hold steady, a common sign that AI Overviews are answering the question before people click.
04
Untracked AI enquiries
New customers say they found you through ChatGPT, but you have no way of tracking how often it happens.
05
Crawler access issues
Your website blocks AI crawlers without anyone choosing to.
SEO VS GEO
Traditional SEO + GEO + AEO work together
GEO and SEO share the same foundation, because AI tools pull from pages that search engines have already found and indexed. Google states there are "no additional requirements" to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode beyond being indexed and eligible for a snippet. The difference is what you measure and where you build authority.
SEARCH
Traditional SEO
Goal: rank pages in search engines. Measure organic clicks, impressions, traffic and rankings. Build useful indexed content and links.
AI ANSWERS
GEO & AEO
Goal: earn relevant mentions and citations within generated answers. Measure brand appearances, cited sources and share of tracked prompts.
AEO is an extension of good SEO—not a substitute for it.
AI VISIBILITY / INSIGHTS
How AI tools decide which businesses to mention
AI search tools run several related searches in the background, read the pages they find and then write an answer from the sources they trust most. Google calls this "query fan out": a single question becomes many smaller searches across subtopics.
01
Key insight 1
Covering the subtopics matters. A page that answers price, process, timing and risks has more chances to be picked up than a page that answers one of them.
02
Key insight 2
Search indexes still count. Google's AI features only use pages that are indexed and eligible for a snippet. OpenAI says ChatGPT search relies on OAI-SearchBot, and sites that block it are left out of ChatGPT search answers.
03
Key insight 3
Other people's words carry weight. AI tools often cite reviews, directories and articles about a business, as well as the business's own site.
That has three practical effects:
AI VISIBILITY / INSIGHTS
Optimising for each AI platform
Each AI tool works a little differently, so we check and track them one by one rather than treating "AI" as a single channel.
01
Google AI Overviews and AI Mode
These draw on Google's own index. Strong rankings, complete answers and an accurate Google Business Profile do most of the work. Visibility in them is counted inside Google Search Console's Performance report, under the Web search type.
02
SEO for ChatGPT
ChatGPT search needs to reach your pages through OAI-SearchBot. We confirm it is allowed, then focus on the sources ChatGPT cites for your service and location. OpenAI notes that robots.txt changes for search can take about 24 hours to apply.
03
Gemini SEO
Gemini is part of Google's ecosystem, so Google indexing, structured data and your Google Business Profile shape what it knows about you.
04
Perplexity, Claude and Copilot
Perplexity SEO and Claude SEO follow the same rules: crawlable pages, clear answers and trusted third party mentions. We test each platform separately because they cite different sources for the same question.

Does llms.txt help AI visibility?
Not on current evidence. llms.txt is a proposed file that lists a site's key pages for AI tools, but Google's John Mueller said in June 2025 that "no AI system currently uses llms.txt", as reported by Search Engine Roundtable.
We can add one in a few minutes because it does no harm, but we do not sell it as a fix. Time is better spent on crawl access, answer first pages and earning mentions.
AI VISIBILITY / INSIGHTS
How much do AI SEO services cost in Australia?
AI SEO services in Australia typically cost between $1,000 and $8,000 a month for small and medium businesses, with one off AI visibility audits from about $1,500 to $5,000. These ranges come from What's The Damage, an independent Australian cost guide reviewed in October 2026.
Agency Optimising notes that GEO pricing has not been standardised yet, so be careful with any fixed quote given before the agency asks about your site and market.
AI VISIBILITY / INSIGHTS
How long does AI search visibility take?
Technical fixes can be picked up within days once crawlers revisit your site. Content and reputation changes take longer, because AI tools need to find the new pages and mentions before they use them in answers. We set a baseline in the first month so you can see the change for yourself.
AI answers also change from one day to the next, even for the same question. That is why we track a fixed set of prompts over time instead of judging progress on a single screenshot.

Who our AI SEO agency works with
Our AI SEO agency works with Australian businesses whose customers research before they buy. We work with clients in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and regional areas.
01
Local service businesses and clinics
Questions such as "best skin clinic in Parramatta" or "who should I call for a blocked drain" now get AI answers. We focus on your Google Business Profile, reviews and service pages, the sources those answers rely on. Health businesses also need to follow AHPRA and TGA advertising rules, and we write content within them.
02
Online stores
Shoppers ask AI tools to compare products and suggest options within a budget. We improve product data, schema, reviews and buying guides so AI tools have accurate details to work with.
03
B2B and professional services
Buyers of software, consulting and professional services ask AI tools for shortlists. We build comparison pages, case studies and expert content, and earn mentions on the industry sites those shortlists draw from.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
AI SEO uses the same foundation as normal SEO, because AI tools pull from pages search engines have indexed. The difference is the goal: getting your business named and cited inside AI answers, which also depends on mentions, reviews and listings across the web.
No. Nobody controls what an AI tool says, and answers change from day to day. We improve the signals AI tools use, track a fixed set of prompts every month and report the change honestly.
We test a set of prompts that match how your customers ask questions, across ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Gemini and Perplexity, on a regular schedule. We record whether your business is named, where it is linked and which sources are cited.
It is optional. Google has said no AI system currently uses llms.txt, so it is unlikely to change your visibility. Crawl access, clear answers and trusted mentions matter far more.
They can. Ahrefs found AI Overviews cut clicks to the top ranking page by about 58% in its 2026 study. Being cited inside the answer is now one of the main ways to stay visible on those searches.
Only block the ones you have a reason to block. OpenAI separates its search crawler from its training crawler, so you can stop your content being used for training while still appearing in ChatGPT search answers.
