Optimise for the AI customer journey
AI discovery has transformed brand building – as a brand, you now need to focus on protecting and growing your visibility in AI search alongside SEO.
Customers start with a prompt, as well as a search bar. If AI and LLMs can’t recognise or trust your brand, you’re invisible in the answers that shape their decisions.
That’s where GEO, AIO, AEO, LLMO, AIPR… whatever you want to call it – ensures your brand leads in the AI search visibility as a recognised, referenced, and accurately represented entity within emerging AI ecosystems.
Be the answer your audience finds first
With GEO, see where (and how) your brand appears in AI search and discover new opportunities to grow your authority for mentions in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and other LLMs.
Win the AI visibility race with authority building mentions
Build a brand that AI recognises, search engines value, customers trust, and competitors can’t ignore.
AI platforms have become decision engines. If your brand isn’t visible to them, you’re missing out on discovery, trust, and sales.
Looking to claim your position in the age of AI search? Want your brand to be mentioned in relevant conversations and prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and optimised for AI Overviews?
When it comes to organic search results, AI discovery and LLMs – visibility still starts with authority and relevance.
At Hive19, these two principles have been core to our strategy from the very beginning. As a specialist link building agency and copywriting agency, everything we do is designed to strengthen your website’s authority, credibility and increase brand visibility in AI search and across every platform that matters.
Generative AI is reinventing how people find information. Hive19 helps ensure your brand isn’t left out of the conversation.
Hive19 link building
- Strengthen authority and credibility with quality, contextually relevant backlinks and entity optimisation off-site.
- Build trust and brand awareness through a consistent and credible brand presence and positioning across every discovery platform.
- Appear where LLMs retrieve information from. Large Language Models (LLMs) use indexes to generate responses through retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). If your brand is mentioned or linked within those indexed sources, it becomes part of the information LLMs use to form answers.
Hive19 copywriting
- Earn visibility across Google, AI Overviews, and LLM-powered search platforms, ensuring your brand stays discoverable wherever audiences are searching for answers.
- Increase your inclusion in AI-generated results (AI Overviews) by creating content that supports EEAT signals.
- Reverse engineer opportunities where your brand is best positioned to provide authoritative, solution-led content that AI systems and users are looking for.

SEO vs AEO: What’s the difference?
Traditional SEO makes you visible in Google. AEO makes you visible to AI Search
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
- Improves your organic position on Google, so more users find and click on your website.
- Uses keywords, technical SEO, and backlinks to determine rank.
- Targets relevant, high-volume keywords and creates people-first, EEAT-driven content.
- Relies on structured data and authoritative content to build trust and relevance for search engines.
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
- Ensures your brand appears (and is accurately cited) in AI-powered search results and LLM-generated answers.
- Focuses on entity clarity, contextual authority, and prompt-based optimisation to deliver clear, accurate answers.
- Uses longer, conversational, question-based keywords that AI discovery engines prioritise.
- Relies on clear, semantic, and context-rich structure to help AI interpret and attribute information correctly.
AI isn’t replacing search, it’s expanding it
From years of experience, at Hive19 we understand that SEO and AEO are two sides of the same visibility and brand growth strategy.
- SEO builds the foundation of authority that search engines trust to appear in AI Overview and in results pages.
- AEO/GEO ensures that same authority is also recognised and referenced by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot.
By combining SEO and AEO, your brand can:
- Appear where your customers are searching on both Google and AI platforms.
- Take advantage of a new marketing channel, and engage at key moments during the customer journey.
- Builds consistent brand messaging across search results, AI summaries, and conversational recommendations.
- Position your brand as the answer to the prompts and questions that matter most in your category.
- Strengthens your authority signals so both humans and AI see your brand as credible, relevant, and trustworthy.
The result?
Greater presence online and in LLMs, stronger brand awareness and positioning for prime citations and mentions, and more control of your visibility and presence in AI Search – wherever discovery happens and buying decisions are made.
