Understanding GEO, AEO & AIO

What Is AI-Intergrated SEO?

Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)

Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is about making your business visible when people ask questions on AI chatbots and answer engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, or Grok.
icon_seo_leader

AI Engine Optimisation (AEO)

AI Engine Optimisation (AEO) is the same as GEO, just a different name. It also focuses on ensuring your business is included when users search or ask questions on AI-powered engines and platforms.

AI Overviews Optimisation (AIO)

AI Overviews Optimisation (AIO) is about making sure your business shows up inside Google’s AI Overviews. These appear above organic search results and maps, making them a prime visibility spot.

understanding Zero-Click Searches

What Is Zero-Click Searche?

A Zero-Click Search is when users get the full answer directly on Google or AI platforms without clicking into a website. This happens in features like Google AI Overviews or answers generated by ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and other AI engines.

Zero-Click is the ultimate future of search. Instead of relying on website clicks, businesses must now compete to be the chosen answer inside these AI-driven results.

Our Methodology For AI SEO

How Do We Optimise a Website for AI-Integrated SEO?

stage 1

Assessment

Over 2–4 weeks, we take a deep dive into your website, your competitors, and how people are searching across both Google and AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.

The goal is to create a complete picture of your current performance, uncover opportunities, and design a strategy that makes your business visible wherever your customers are asking questions.

We begin with a comprehensive SEO and AI audit. This includes a technical review of your website (site speed, crawlability, structured data, indexation), on-page analysis (content depth, keyword optimisation, internal linking), and off-site authority signals (backlinks, brand mentions, EEAT).

Unlike a standard SEO audit, we also evaluate your site’s AI visibility potential by checking how well your content aligns with query patterns in AI Overviews (AIO) and Generative Engines (GEO/AEO). By identifying both strengths and gaps, we set the baseline for all improvements.

Keywords remain the backbone of SEO, but for AI-Integrated SEO we go further. We identify high-intent keywords that drive traffic in Google’s SERPs, while also mapping how these terms intersect with AI-powered answers.

For example, ranking for “PR application Singapore” in Google is one thing, but being recognised in ChatGPT or Gemini answers requires supporting content clusters that prove your authority. This stage ensures we don’t just chase search volume, but also build the right keyword foundation to appear in both organic search and AI snippets.

AI search is powered by questions, not just keywords. In this step, we analyse the exact queries people ask on platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

Instead of only targeting “halal catering Singapore,” we also uncover variations like “What are the best halal catering options near me?” or “Which halal caterer in Singapore delivers for events?”, the way real users phrase questions to AI tools.

By capturing these conversational search patterns, we position your website as the most relevant and authoritative source to be pulled into AI answers and Zero-Click results.

Finally, we bring everything together into a clear and actionable plan.

  • Goals: Define measurable outcomes, such as ranking in AI Overviews, increasing AI mentions, or driving organic traffic growth.

  • Strategy: Map the SEO + AI roadmap, covering technical foundations, content transformation, and authority building.

  • Target: Identify the priority keywords, queries, and market segments (local, regional, global) where you must dominate.

  • Gaps: Highlight where competitors are ahead, what’s missing in your current content, and which technical or authority signals need strengthening.

This formulation stage gives you a blueprint for AI-Integrated SEO success, ensuring every move is strategic, data-driven, and aligned with how people search today.

stage 2

Technical Foundation

Over a period of 1 to 3 months, we strengthen the technical foundation of your website so it’s fully prepared for both Google SEO and AI-driven visibility.

This stage focuses on refining on-page elements, implementing advanced structured data, and improving site architecture so search engines and AI bots (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, etc.) can easily scan, understand, and trust your content.

EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authority, and Trust) is the core principle behind how Google and AI-driven search engines decide which content to showcase in AI Overviews, featured snippets, and zero-click results. Without strong EEAT signals, even well-optimized pages risk being ignored by AI models that prioritize credibility and safety.

  • Experience: Prove that your business or service works in the real world. Showcase case studies, client testimonials, and behind-the-scenes processes. Reviews on third-party sites, influencer mentions, and forums discussing your product all act as strong “real use” signals that AI systems recognize.

  • Expertise: Demonstrate that you are not just a provider but a specialist. Build comprehensive service pages that leave no gaps, publish original research or statistics, and highlight your team’s credentials or certifications. Topic clusters (like building a mini Wikipedia around your niche) make your site the “source of truth” that AI bots prefer to cite.

  • Authority: Show that others on the web trust you. Backlinks from reputable websites (especially .gov, .edu, or established media) signal legitimacy. Guest posts, citations in industry outlets, and “As Featured In” validations all reinforce that you’re a credible voice in your space.

  • Trust: This is the most important factor. Your website must look and feel legitimate with secure (HTTPS), fast, mobile-friendly, and free of spammy popups. Display a proper business address, phone number, and transparent policies (privacy, terms, refunds). Strong reviews across Google and other platforms validate you’re safe to do business with. If trust is missing, AI models will deprioritize your site, no matter how strong your SEO.

Basic schema markup is no longer enough. To win in the AI era, we implement rich, detailed structured data on every key page, helping Google and AI bots instantly identify what your page is about and why it’s trustworthy.

Structured data alone won’t push you to rank #1 in SEO. But it is the reason your site gets featured in:

  • Google Featured Snippets

  • AI Citations in Overviews

  • References in Generative Engines (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)

By layering advanced schema markup across your site, we give your content the best chance to be chosen as the source AI references.

We ensure your site architecture supports both SEO and AI visibility. This includes:

  • Building and refining pillar pages aligned with the keyword and query research done in Stage 1.

  • Creating clear content hierarchies so AI engines can detect topical authority.

  • Optimising URL structure and navigation for both users and crawlers.

A strong site structure signals to AI that your business is the definitive source on your target topics, increasing your chances of being surfaced in AI Overviews and answer engines.

We optimise every page element to align with both SEO best practices and AI readability. This includes:

  • Refining titles, meta descriptions, and header tags to match user intent.

  • Strengthening internal linking so Google and AI bots can navigate and connect topical clusters.

  • Improving content readability and clarity, ensuring your pages answer search queries directly.

On-page optimisation ensures your site is technically sound and content-rich, ready to be surfaced in both organic results and AI-driven answers.

stage 3

Content Transformation

Content transformation is not a one-time project but an ongoing process. It’s about continuously refining, expanding, and reshaping your site’s content so that it speaks directly to how people search today and how AI systems parse, segment, and evaluate information.

Transforming content starts with a review of what already exists. Outdated, duplicate, or thin pages are either consolidated, updated, or removed. Then, new content is created with the following principles:

  • Answer-First Principle: Give the answer immediately in the first 50 words. For example, “There are 6 steps to apply for PR in Singapore: A, B, C...” before diving into details. This ensures AI recognizes your page as a direct response source.

  • Structured Formatting: Use H1–H4 headers, bullet points, and clear segmentation. Bold key terms, but not excessively. Proper formatting signals expertise and makes it easy for AI to map your content into structured snippets

AI and search engines reward depth over breadth. That’s why content should be structured into two levels of topical hierarchy:

  • Level 1 – Pillar Pages

    • Broad, central hub around a head keyword or topic (e.g., Singapore PR Guide).

    • Long-form (2,000+ words) and comprehensive, covering every key angle.

    • Serves as the main navigation point and links out to 5–20+ supporting articles.

    • Can be either a service page or a deep blog guide.

  • Level 2 – Cluster Pages

    • Supporting articles that cover specific subtopics in depth (e.g., PR Requirements for Students in Singapore).

    • Usually 1,200–1,500 words, answering one focused query with authority.

    • Always link back to the Pillar Page, creating a topic cluster that strengthens internal linking and signals topical depth.

Together, pillar and cluster pages form a Topic Cluster, the structural foundation that search engines use to determine topical authority. Each pillar should have at least 3+ supporting cluster articles to be considered a strong hub.

stage 4

Authority Building

Authority is what makes both Google and AI systems decide that your site is not just relevant, but also trustworthy enough to showcase. Without authority signals, even well-optimized content may struggle to rank or be pulled into AI Overviews.

Authority isn’t built overnight. It’s an ongoing process of accumulating brand mentions, backlinks, and third-party validations that show your expertise is recognized beyond your own website.

For example: If 1,000 people online say that your business is the “go-to” in your industry, AI systems are more likely to accept it as fact.

Backlinks remain one of the strongest authority signals. But quality matters more than quantity. Backlinks from high-quality sources carry far more weight than random directory listings.

  • Guest Posts & Features: Publish articles on reputable websites in your industry.

  • News & PR Mentions: Secure coverage in established media outlets. Being featured in logos and citations validates your credibility.

  • Authority Domains: Backlinks from .gov, .edu, or scientific journals carry disproportionate weight in building trust.

  • Avoid Low-Quality Links: Spammy links or irrelevant directories may hurt more than help.

Even without a direct backlink, brand mentions across the web contribute to perceived authority:

  • Forums & Communities: When users organically recommend or mention your brand.

  • Reviews & Testimonials: Appear on third-party sites where customers share experiences.

  • Consistent NAP Data: Ensure your Name, Address, Phone are the same across your site, business profiles, and directories.

The more your brand is discussed and referenced in credible spaces, the more AI and search engines treat you as an authority.

stage 5

Measure & Iterate

SEO and AI visibility are continuous processes. The digital landscape shifts constantly: algorithms update, competitors adapt, and new AI-driven features emerge. To stay ahead, you must measure performance regularly and refine your strategy based on real data.

AI-driven search is changing how users discover information. Monitoring your presence in these new search experiences is critical:

  • AI Overviews Tracking: Identify whether your content appears in Google’s AI-generated summaries.

  • Zero-Click Search Monitoring: Check if your answers are being used directly by AI without a user click.

  • Answer Relevance: Analyze which types of content are more likely to be pulled by AI (structured, answer-first, authoritative).

This helps you understand not just if you’re showing up, but why you’re being chosen over competitors.

Traditional SEO metrics remain equally important, as organic traffic is still a major visibility driver:

  • Keyword Rankings: Track movement for both head terms (pillar pages) and long-tail queries (cluster pages).

  • Traffic Analytics: Monitor sessions, bounce rate, and dwell time to gauge user engagement.

  • Conversions: Ultimately, visibility must translate into business outcomes such as leads, sales, or sign-ups.

  • Competitor Benchmarking: Measure how your rankings and content footprint compare to others in your industry.

Case Study #1

How We Helped A Law Firm Rank #1 Across AI Platforms and Google SERPs

Before Working With Us

This Singapore-based law firm was well-regarded offline but had limited digital visibility. Their site wasn’t optimized for modern SEO or AI platforms, and competitors were dominating critical high-intent legal searches.

What We Did

We strengthened their SEO foundation and then executed an AI-focused strategy within 6 months. This included restructuring content into answer-first formats, enhancing authority with client reviews and case studies, and implementing advanced schema to ensure visibility in ChatGPT answers, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.

After Working With Us

In just 6 months, the firm achieved #1 rankings on AI platforms. They saw a sharp rise in qualified enquiries, consistent inclusion in AI-driven results, and secured their position as a leading authority in Singapore’s legal market.

Case Study #2

How We Helped A Skincare Supplement Brand Rank #1 in a Strict YMYL Category

Before Working With Us

This skincare supplement brand was well-regarded offline but struggled to gain organic visibility online. Operating in a YMYL (Your Money Your Life) space made the challenge even tougher, as Google holds supplement-related products to much stricter standards of trust, safety, and authority.

What We Did

We built a comprehensive SEO strategy designed for YMYL niches. This included strengthening technical foundations with schema and metadata optimization, while showcasing the brand’s scientific credibility through certifications, transparent product claims, and authentic reviews. We expanded content into structured supplement-focused clusters, answering user intent across FAQs, guides, and product-related queries. At the same time, we optimized for emerging AI-driven discovery by ensuring information was AI-friendly, structured, and easily extractable.

After Working With Us

In just 12 months, the brand broke through the YMYL barrier and secured #1 rankings for high-value supplement terms across both traditional Google SERPs and AI platforms like ChatGPT and AI Overviews. This dual visibility led to a surge in organic traffic, steady sales growth, and positioned the company as a trusted leader in the skin supplement niche.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got Questions? We've Got Answers

Results depend on where your website starts, but our framework follows a proven progression:

  • Assessment (2–4 weeks): We run a deep audit, keyword and query research, and map your goals against competitor gaps. This stage defines the strategy and targets.

  • Technical Foundation (1–3 months): On-page optimisation, structured data, and site structure improvements are implemented. Money pages are upgraded with EEAT signals, and content is restructured into strong pillar pages and clusters.

  • Authority Building (ongoing): Once the foundation is in place, we focus on building brand mentions and backlinks. This is a continuous process that steadily strengthens your site’s credibility.

  • Measure & Iterate (continuous): We track two dimensions—organic search performance and AI visibility (citations in AI Overviews and assistant responses)—and refine content monthly.

Most businesses see early movement during the Technical Foundation phase, with durable visibility taking hold as authority compounds. The exact pace depends on your industry competitiveness and how aggressively we implement changes.

Not necessarily. The core work overlaps heavily with strong SEO: technical optimisation, content development, and authority building. The investment difference is not in more cost, but in different priorities:

  • Similar costs: On-page optimisation, technical fixes, link acquisition, content creation.

  • AI-specific focus: Researching assistant queries, answer-first formatting, structured data, monitoring AI Overview citations, and tailoring content to satisfy EEAT signals.

For most businesses, the cost is comparable to a traditional SEO retainer, but the ROI is higher because you gain visibility in both search rankings and AI-powered results. This dual presence is where future traffic growth is heading.

Industries where people ask complex, high-stakes, or detailed questions see the strongest upside:

  • High consideration / YMYL: Legal, healthcare, finance, and education. These thrive because AI and Google both emphasise EEAT, and authoritative content is more likely to be cited.

  • Professional and B2B services: SaaS, consulting, training, and enterprise services benefit because prospects research frameworks, comparisons, and step-by-step guides that AI assistants often surface.

  • Local services: Clinics, home services, and hospitality see outsized impact because assistants frequently shortlist a handful of local providers—if your EEAT signals are strong, you can win visibility even against larger players.

  • Research-heavy e-commerce: Products requiring detailed guidance—like skincare, health supplements, or electronics—gain visibility when content is structured around user questions and authoritative product details.

These sectors align best with the staged approach: strong technical foundation, proof of expertise and trustworthiness, consistent authority building, and ongoing measurement.

Yes, and in many ways SMEs have a real advantage. AI integrated SEO rewards clarity, credibility, and structured answers, not just brand size.

For SMEs, one additional factor is critical: customer reviews. Actively increasing Google reviews not only boosts local SEO but also reinforces trust signals that AI systems consider when surfacing answers.
