AI SEO & GEO.

AI search changes how information can be summarised and cited, but it does not remove the need for sound SEO. I use SEO and generative engine optimisation (GEO) principles to make important content clear, crawlable, attributable and supported by credible signals.

seo & ai.

what it means.

I bring together technical SEO, content structure, entity clarity and external corroboration to improve AI search readiness without promising a guaranteed citation.

AI Overviews

Review whether important facts and answers are clearly structured and supported by sources that users can verify.

generative platforms

Improve the clarity and machine readability of content that may be used by AI assistants and answer engines.

entity understanding

Make organisations, authors, products and concepts easier to identify through consistent naming, facts, internal linking and appropriate structured data.

what I review.

I review the technical, content and authority signals that influence whether important information can be discovered, interpreted and attributed.

crawlability & indexability

Important content needs stable, indexable URLs and should not rely on inaccessible rendering.

content structure

Clear headings, concise factual statements and question-led sections make important information easier for people and machines to interpret.

authorship & provenance

Visible authorship, dates, references and consistent identity signals make claims easier to attribute.

structured data

Use valid schema to describe content and entities where the visible page supports the markup.

external corroboration

Digital PR and reputable third-party mentions can strengthen the independent signals around a brand or claim.

monitoring

Track priority queries, cited sources, branded visibility and changes in organic performance rather than treating AI visibility as a one-off check.

seo & ai.

SEO foundations first.

AI search work should extend solid SEO foundations rather than replace them.

technical

Crawling, canonicalisation, rendering, performance and structured data still determine whether content can be understood.

content

Useful, well-sourced information remains the raw material that search and AI systems can surface.

reputation

Independent mentions and clearly attributable expertise help establish why a source should be trusted.

FAQs.

Practical answers about AI search visibility, GEO and what can realistically be measured.

Can anyone guarantee that ChatGPT or Google will cite a page?

No. AI visibility can be improved and monitored, but platforms decide which sources they use and no consultant can guarantee a citation.

Does GEO replace SEO?

No. GEO depends on the same foundations as SEO: crawlability, useful content, clear authorship, authority and appropriate structured data.

What should be measured?

Track the priority queries that matter, AI search visibility where it can be observed, cited sources, branded search performance and traffic to pages that may be used as sources.

client perspective.

A client perspective on working with me.

“Jonathan is a talented SEO professional with a proven track record. I had the pleasure of placing him in a contract position with a global ecommerce client (eBay) and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Jonathan is a great team player, reliable, and highly skilled in his craft. He’s a valuable addition to any SEO team and I would highly recommend him. Looking forward to the opportunity to work with him again in the future.”
