SEO & AI Search Frequently Asked Questions
What is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)?
GEO is the next evolution of SEO, focusing on optimising content for AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and other language models. While traditional SEO optimises for keyword rankings, GEO optimises for AI citations and mentions.2
How does AI affect my website's SEO performance?
AI fundamentally changes search behaviour. Sites without an AI-optimised structure lose visibility as Google increasingly provides direct answers instead of sending users to websites. Professional AI-ready SEO ensures maximum exposure across both traditional and AI search channels.3
Is local SEO still valuable for businesses in Albury-Wodonga?
Absolutely. Local searches generate direct customer contact through calls, visits, and bookings. Regional SEO remains highly effective for businesses in Albury-Wodonga, southern NSW and Victoria, especially when combined with AI-first optimisation strategies. 4.
What's the difference between traditional SEO and AI-first SEO?
Traditional SEO focuses on ranking web pages for specific keywords. AI-first SEO focuses on getting your business mentioned and cited when AI engines respond to user queries. This requires completely different content strategies, technical implementations, and success metrics focused on authority and answer quality.
How quickly can we see results from AI-first SEO?
Most clients begin to see mentions of AI platforms within 30 to 60 days of implementation. Full AI visibility optimisation typically takes 90-120 days, as AI platforms need time to index and incorporate new answer-formatted content into their response algorithms. Traditional SEO improvements continue alongside AI optimisation.
How do you future-proof SEO strategies against changing technology?
Through modular architecture, comprehensive structured data, and regular strategic updates. We develop SEO strategies that adapt to emerging search technologies and AI advancements, with quarterly reviews and adjustments to maintain a competitive edge as the landscape evolves.
