AI SEO: get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

Search has changed. Google AI Overviews answer the question before the user clicks. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Bing Copilot cite their sources. Half of high-intent search now ends before a user reaches your site.

Hy Digital's SEO consultancy covers both traditional Google rankings and AI answer engines. Technical SEO foundation, structured data, E-E-A-T authority signals, and content built to be cited by LLMs as well as ranked by Google.

What you lose when AI can't read your site

Search shifted under everyone's feet. Old SEO playbooks underperform in a world where AI answers the question first and Google rewards entity clarity over keyword density.

 

Invisible to AI search

ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews skip your content when structured data and entity signals aren't legible to LLMs.

Higher ad costs

When the answer box owns the click, paid media has to make up the gap. CAC rises, ROAS falls, the budget reshuffles.

Outranked locally

Competitors with clean entity data and schema get named in AI answers while your brand is left out of the response.

Generic content trap

Pages written for keyword density without expertise signals lose to E-E-A-T-strong sources every time. AI answer engines especially.

If any of these match, we should talk

Four AI-visibility gaps we see most in the teams that come to us:

AI Overviews took your clicks

Pre-AI Overviews you ranked. Post-AI Overviews the click went to the answer box. Total traffic is flat or down despite the same content quality.

Your brand isn't cited by AI

Type your category into ChatGPT or Perplexity. If competitors get cited and you don't, that's a structured-data and authority gap, not a content gap.

You target keywords without intent Keyword volume is no longer the strongest signal. AI answer engines weight search intent and entity clarity. Most older keyword strategies don't reflect that.
Your site is technically slow Slow Core Web Vitals, missing schema, no structured data for your entities. Foundation issues that hurt you on Google AND on AI answer engines.

Frequently asked questions

How long does SEO take?

Real ranking shifts usually start within 8 to 12 weeks for technical fixes, and 3 to 6 months for content and authority work. AI answer engine citations can come faster, sometimes within weeks once the structured data is in place. Compounding effects show after 6 to 12 months.

What's the difference between SEO and GEO?

SEO is about ranking on Google's traditional search results (see our SEO service). GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is about being cited by AI answer engines: ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot. The technical foundation overlaps (schema, structured data, page speed). The content strategy is different. SEO rewards keyword and link signals. GEO rewards entity clarity and citation-worthy authority.

Can AI search visibility replace paid ads?

Long term, often yes. Organic traffic and AI citations are the highest-trust traffic source you have. We treat SEO as a CAC-reducer over 12 to 24 months. Most clients keep some paid for velocity and category awareness while the SEO foundation compounds.

How do you pick keywords?

Search intent first, volume second, competition third. We weight entity clarity heavily because it determines whether AI answer engines surface you at all. We don't optimize for vanity keywords. We track which queries get cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews for your category, and reverse-engineer from there.

Project or retainer?

Project audits are useful if your team can execute the fixes themselves. Retainers make sense when ongoing content production, technical work, and AI citation tracking are needed. Most B2B teams need at least 6 months for the SEO + GEO foundation to compound.
