AI SEO AGENCY
AI Search Optimisation: AI SEO Services for Google and AI Answers
AI search optimisation for law firms, clinics, premium builders, cybersecurity firms and enterprises whose buyers now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity or Gemini who to choose. As an AI SEO agency, we put your name in those answers and in Google's AI Overviews, then turn it into high-intent leads and pipeline.

TLDR
What should an AI SEO agency do for you?
An AI SEO agency should get your company named when buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews who to use. It should win you the Google rankings too, because the same basics feed both. Searchmaxxed does GEO, AEO, LLM SEO and technical SEO with one team. First the engines have to reach you. Google needs a page it has indexed and can show a snippet from, and ChatGPT search finds sites through OAI-SearchBot. After that, the answer goes to the company with complete pages, one consistent set of facts and outside sources that agree. We build all three, and you own every part of it.
Technical SEO and on-page SEO
With technical SEO and on-page SEO, we fix whatever stops Google and the AI engines reading your site, then build the comparison, industry and integration pages your buyers are already searching for. It all sits on a website you own, connected to Search Console and GA4, so you can see which pages bring in enquiries.
AI SEO, GEO and AEO
Through AI SEO, GEO and AEO, we make your pages and the facts about your company the ones ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI answers quote. We keep checking what those answers say about you, and fix whatever keeps your name out.
Link building, reviews and citations
Through link building and digital PR, we earn the links, reviews, citations, press and mentions that back up your pages on other sites. Google ranks pages with that backing, and AI answers recommend companies that other sources agree on.
THE PROBLEM
Why do so many AI SEO offers stop at the report?
Plenty of AI SEO offers lead with an audit, a visibility tracker and a stack of prompt reports. They show you the gap, then leave your team to close it while your developers are booked solid. Google's guidance for its AI features points to ordinary site work: crawl access, internal links, key content in text and schema that matches the page. An AI answer can change by the day, so one screenshot tells you little about next month. The answers move when new pages, cleaner facts and fresh outside sources keep arriving, month after month. That's the part we build.
THE DISCIPLINES
What does an AI SEO agency build for you?
We split AI SEO into four jobs. One team of engineers and marketers runs all four, so your plan never sits in a developer queue. AEO and GEO live inside these jobs. AEO makes your answers easy for an engine to lift, and GEO gets engines to name and cite your company.
Pages that answer the whole buying question
One page for each buying search, complete enough for an engine to quote.
When a buyer asks what you cost, how you compare or whether you fit, your page should be the one that answers. We build service, comparison, cost and proof pages on your website, each with one job. The answer comes in the opening lines, then the follow-ups: price, fit, alternatives and proof. Your schema states the same facts your copy does.
Buying-question pagesComparison pagesCost and fit answersSchema that matches the copyInternal links
Facts about you that every engine gets right
One record of your names, people, services and places.
If your website says one thing and a directory says another, an engine has no clean fact to repeat about you. We gather your legal and trading names, people, services, locations and proof into one fact record. Then we bring your website, Business Profile and eligible directory listings into line with it.
Entity mapOne fact recordBusiness ProfileDirectory cleanupVerified credentials
Outside sources that vouch for you
Reviews, links, mentions and coverage that agree with your pages.
AI answers lean on the publications, reviews, directories and communities they already cite for your market. We find those sources and earn you a real place in them: genuine reviews, editorial links, digital PR, expert contributions and community threads. We log each source as live, fetched or cited, and that log tells us which one to go after next.

See who gets named, and what it brings in
Which engines name you, and what those visitors do next.
We check whether ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews name you for your buying questions. We also log the competitors they name instead. Then we track which of those searches and answers turn into enquiries in GA4, and into revenue through your CRM. Each month, a decision memo tells you what moved and what we go after next.

AI SEO SCOPE
What's included in AI SEO work with Searchmaxxed?
The scope follows your buyer from their first question to the enquiry. Every area changes what an engine can find, check or repeat about you.
The questions your buyers ask, and the follow-ups
Google says AI Overviews and AI Mode may run several related searches across subtopics to build one response. So we map the related questions in your market, from the first problem search through cost, comparisons and brand checks. Each one gets a page that answers it.
Problem searchesFollow-up questionsCost and comparison queriesBrand checks
Crawler access for Google and ChatGPT
If an engine can't reach a page, it can't name you from it. Google needs a page indexed and eligible for a snippet before it can link it in AI Overviews or AI Mode. OpenAI leaves sites that opt out of OAI-SearchBot out of ChatGPT search answers. So we check robots.txt, CDN rules, rendering and canonicals first.

Answer pages on your website
We build each page to win one buying search, from the question and copy to the layout, schema, internal links and enquiry path. Key facts sit in plain text, as Google asks, and the structured data matches what the page shows.
Service and cost pagesComparison pagesProof pagesSchemaEnquiry paths
One record of who you are
We connect each offer to the right brand, people, markets and evidence, and link reviews, licences and credentials only where we can verify them. That one record then drives your copy, your schema and every outside profile we can correct.

The sources AI answers trust
We pick sources from the live results, your competitors' coverage and the sites engines already cite for your questions. The mix covers profiles, directories, reviews, editorial links, unlinked mentions, digital PR, public case studies and community threads.

Proof it turns into enquiries
Google counts traffic from AI Overviews and AI Mode inside the Web search type of the Search Console Performance report. We put that next to GA4 conversions, rankings, competitor benchmarks and repeated AI answer checks across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews.

HOW IT WORKS
How does AI SEO with Searchmaxxed work?
Your website stays yours from day one. Every person on our team works with AI agents, so a team our size can go deep on your data. That means your Search Console, GA4, Google results, competitor sites, reviews and AI answers. We weigh what we find against your plan, then build whatever should bring in the most enquiries next. That might be a new page, a fix, or a link or review from another site. You see every change and what it moved.
- STEP 01
Measure, then find the blocker
We bring your Search Console queries, GA4 behaviour, conversions and rankings into one view. Live results, competitor pages, technical faults and AI answer checks sit beside them. Then we name what's holding you back: a missing buying page, a crawler block, a weak internal-link path or a lack of outside support. - STEP 02
Rank what's worth the most
We pick the next move by how close it sits to customers and revenue, and by how strong the evidence is. We also weigh what it should be worth, what it costs to build and how much risk it carries. - STEP 03
Build it on your site
We research, build and check the pages, technical fixes or outside sources we chose. They go live on a website you own, and nothing waits in someone else's queue. - STEP 04
Verify, then learn
We check the live page and the crawl or indexing evidence, then measure what the change did. Each month's results set where we aim next.

FAQ
AI SEO agency questions, answered.
What is AI SEO, and how does it work?
+
AI SEO is the work that gets your company found in Google and named when buyers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews. It works through technical SEO, pages that answer buying questions, consistent business facts and mentions on the sites those engines cite.
What does an AI SEO agency do?
+
An AI SEO agency gets your company found in Google and named in the answers ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews give your buyers. It builds the pages those engines retrieve and fixes the business facts they check. It also earns the outside sources that back those facts, then tracks where you appear. Google says the same SEO basics apply to its AI features, so a good AI SEO agency is a strong SEO agency first.
How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT?
+
Make your company easy to describe and easy to check. Build pages that answer buyer questions directly, keep your facts the same across directories and earn mentions on the sites ChatGPT cites. In our 132-answer test, agencies.semrush.com was the most-cited source.
How do you measure AI search visibility?
+
Each month we put the same buyer questions to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google. We log who gets named, which pages get cited and the date. Google also counts AI Overview and AI Mode clicks in Search Console, under the Web search type. We then track which of those visits become enquiries and revenue.
Is there an AI that can do SEO?
+
Partly. AI tools and agents handle parts of SEO well, such as keyword research, analysis and first drafts. Every person on our team works with them. They can't decide which search is worth winning, confirm a claim is true or earn a review from a real customer. Google also says that using automation to make content mainly to manipulate rankings breaks its spam policies. At Searchmaxxed, the people doing the work own every result.
What are some good AI SEO agencies in Australia?
+
Brenden's shortlist of Australian AI SEO agencies compares each agency's team, proof, prices and AI search work. We put Searchmaxxed first and say so. Whichever you choose, ask what results they got clients last quarter. Ask for AI answer readings that keep the prompt, the engine and the date, so you can check the work yourself.
How much does AI SEO cost in Australia?
+
It depends on your site, your markets and your goals, so we scope each program and quote it in writing. Start with a free growth plan.
Which AI SEO agencies are the best?
+
The best AI SEO agency for you gets results you can check and ties them to your enquiries. We put Searchmaxxed first, and we run it, so weigh that. Most pages ranking for this search in the US and Australia are lists written by agencies, often with the author's own agency at number one. Ask each agency what results it got, who does the work, how it checks AI answers over time and what you own at the end.
What is the difference between an SEO agency and an AI SEO agency?
+
An SEO agency works on your Google rankings. An AI SEO agency also works on what ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI features say about your company. We do both in one program and judge them on one scoreboard: qualified enquiries.
Why choose Searchmaxxed as your AI SEO agency?
+
You get the reach of a much larger team with the focus of a small one. Every person on our team works with AI agents, so pages, schema, tracking and outside sources move together. You talk to the people doing the work, with no account managers, and you own the site, repository, content and data from day one. One client came to us with a website that wasn't working. Three months later he was on page one for one of the most competitive searches in his industry. Now he has more high-intent leads than he can handle, and we're building the systems to handle them.
Can an AI SEO agency promise ChatGPT mentions?
+
No. Nobody controls what an AI answer says. Google notes that AI Mode and AI Overviews may use different models, so their answers and links vary. The wording of the question changes the answer too. We improve the pages, facts and sources the engines draw from, then measure how often they name you across a fixed set of buying questions.
Should I block GPTBot or OAI-SearchBot?
+
Allow OAI-SearchBot if you want to appear in ChatGPT search, because OpenAI says its search answers won't show sites that opt out. GPTBot is a separate setting for training OpenAI's models, so you can allow one and block the other. For Google, Googlebot access in robots.txt controls crawling for Search, AI features included. Google-Extended covers AI training and grounding in some of Google's other systems.
Do you work with companies in the United States?
+
Yes. We work with US companies the same way, with the same team, calls and decision memos. On 28 September 2026, Google answered "ai seo agency" with an AI Overview in both the US and Australia, and each one named specific agencies.
What do I own at the end?
+
Everything, from day one: the website, the repository, the content and the first-party data. The pages, schema, tracking and change records stay with your company if you go. The next team can pick up where we stopped.
How do we start working together?
+
Start with a free growth plan. It's a 30-minute call where we benchmark you against your top competitors across Google, ChatGPT and the other AI engines, live. You see where they're named instead of you, and the few moves that will matter most. For the full picture, the paid AI SEO Audit takes five business days and ranks every fix by what it's worth. We credit it to the build or first month when you start within 14 days. If your site can't support the work, a migration or a full website build comes first.
How is AI SEO different from AEO and GEO?
+
AI SEO is the umbrella term. AEO makes your pages easy for answer engines to quote. GEO makes your company trusted enough that generated answers name and cite it, and SEO wins the ranked results underneath. We run all three as one service, because the same pages, facts and sources serve each of them.
How long before AI answers change?
+
It depends on the fix. Access fixes can register fast: OpenAI says ChatGPT search adjusts to a robots.txt change in about 24 hours. Google says crawling can take from several days to several months, depending on how often it refreshes a page. Page and source work takes longer to show, so we judge it month by month. Nobody can promise a date for a mention.
