Does the AI
recommend you?
AI SEO, explained simply: how you get into the answers of ChatGPT, Gemini and other assistants when customers ask about what you sell.
Where can I get good coffee in Cluj, roasted in-house?
Three places people often recommend:
- Your café roasts in-house and stays open until late.
In short
Classic SEO puts you in Google’s list of links. AI SEO puts you in the written answer an AI assistant gives. People no longer open ten links. They read one answer and choose from it.
Search or ask
Classic search
- You type:
cafe cluj
- You get ten links and a map
- You open a few and choose yourself
Asking an AI
- You ask:
where can I get good coffee in Cluj?
- You get one answer with two or three names
- You pick from what the assistant told you
If you are not one of those two or three names, you don’t exist for that person. That is what AI SEO is about.
How the AI picks
who to recommend
Nobody outside knows the exact recipe. But the signals that matter are clear:
- It understands you
A clear website that simply says what you do, where and for whom.
- It checks you
The same details everywhere: name, address, phone, hours.
- It hears about you
Reviews, articles, lists and directories that mention you.
- It finds answers
Pages that directly answer your customers’ questions.
- It reads you easily
A fast site, structured data, nothing that blocks the bots.
What we actually do
- We ask the assistants
We put your customers’ questions into ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot and Perplexity and note who shows up.
- We fix the website
Clear copy, an FAQ page, structured data, an llms.txt file.
- We align your details
Google Business, social, directories: same name, same address, same phone.
- We check monthly
We repeat the questions and tell you in the report what changed.
What nobody can promise
Nobody controls what an AI answers. Anyone who guarantees you will be recommended is not telling the truth.
What we can do: give the assistant every reason to pick you, and check every month whether it does.
Questions
Is it different from classic SEO?
Partly. The basics are the same: a good website, clear information, reviews. AI SEO adds attention to direct answers, to mentions of you in other places, and to the same details everywhere.
Do I need a website?
It helps a lot. Without a website, the AI assistant relies only on what others say about you. If you don’t have one, Optical Web Design builds it.
How long until I show up in answers?
It depends on your field, your city and how ready your website is now. AI assistants refresh their information at different speeds, so think months, not days.
Which assistants do you check?
ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity and Google’s AI answers.
Does it work for a small, local business?
Yes. Local questions (“near me”, “in Constanta”) are exactly where a small, well-prepared business can show up next to big names.
How much does it cost?
