AI Search Optimization (GEO Services)


Why Your B2B Business Needs AI Search Optimization (AEO / GEO)

AI Search Optimization, or Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), is the new frontier of digital marketing. B2B buyers are no longer just scrolling through traditional search engine links; they are asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot, and Google's AI Overviews to synthesize research and recommend the best vendors. What's more, those answers are often appearing at the very top of search engine pages such as Google.

If your business is not optimized for how these AI models crawl, process, and cite information, you are invisible to a rapidly growing segment of your market. Traditional SEO is not enough. You need specific code structures, high-credibility external signals, and question-and-answer-formatted content to train the AI to recognize you as the authoritative choice.

We know this works because we did it for ourselves. Following intensive optimization, Social Hire leapt from mediocre traditional rankings to being cited as a number-one-rated B2B agency in answers given by Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Copilot. Now, we are deploying this exact methodology for our B2B SME clients.


Our AI Search Optimization Process: The 2-Phase Approach

Our service is designed to rapidly establish your authority with AI engines, and then continuously expand your footprint to capture more buyer queries.

Phase 1: Setup & Optimization (Months 1-3)

Investment: US$1,750 / £1,299 + VAT per month

During the first 90 days, we execute our Full-Stack AEO Implementation across three technical pillars:

  • 1. Advanced Technical Schema Markup: We engineer comprehensive JSON-LD nested schema graphs (Organization, Service, FAQPage, Person) directly into your site to explicitly define your business entity, offerings, and credentials for AI crawlers.
  • 2. Third-Party Entity Validation: AI models cross-reference claims against external sources. We build and align your entity footprint across high-authority data nodes, citations, and industry directories to establish unambiguous authority.
  • 3. Buyer-Intent Q&A Content Development: We author and structure direct, conversational Q&A assets targeted at commercial buyer queries, formatted specifically for extraction by Google AI Overviews and LLMs.

Our Guarantee: By the end of month 3, your business will be recommended as a top choice in your market by at least one of the main AI engines. If we fall short, we continue this phase in month 4 (and 5 if needed) at absolutely no further cost until the outcome is achieved.

Phase 2: Build & Sustain (Month 4 Onwards)

Investment: US$999 / £749 + VAT per month

Once you are established as a recommended vendor, the focus shifts to dominating more topics and sustaining your rank. We expand the range of content published in AI-search-friendly formats, ensuring a wider variety of buyer questions lead back to your business. We continuously monitor your AI visibility and take proactive steps to defend and grow your position as algorithms evolve.

During Phase 2, you're not tied into working with us at all. You simply need to give 2 weeks' notice before each monthly renewal if you wish to pause your subscription.


Who Benefits from AEO / GEO Services?

While our core social media services have traditionally focused on high-ticket B2B sales, our AI Search Optimization service is valuable to a much wider array of B2B Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). Examples would include:

  • High-Value B2B Vendors: Tech startups, enterprise SaaS, management consultancies, and corporate training providers whose buyers conduct deep, AI-assisted research before shortlisting vendors.
  • Niche Specialists: Recruitment firms, executive coaches, and specialized manufacturers who need to dominate highly specific, long-tail queries where AI excels at providing definitive answers.
  • Traditional B2B Services: Logistics, commercial real estate, accounting, and wholesale suppliers looking to future-proof their lead generation as procurement teams shift from Google searches to AI prompts.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between traditional SEO and AI Search Optimization (AEO)?
Traditional SEO focuses on keywords and backlinks to rank blue links on a search page. AI Search Optimization focuses on structuring data, building authoritative entities, and writing direct answers so that Large Language Models (LLMs) synthesize your information and cite you (and recommend your business) directly in their conversational responses.

Which AI engines do you optimize for?
We optimize your digital presence to be recognized across the entire ecosystem of major generative engines, including Google's AI Overviews, OpenAI's ChatGPT, Perplexity AI, Anthropic's Claude, and Microsoft Copilot.

Is Social Hire's AEO offering just LinkedIn marketing?
No. While Social Hire has a decade-long track record in B2B LinkedIn management, our Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) service is a dedicated, full-stack technical service. It operates independently of social media and centers on technical JSON-LD schema architecture, external web entity validation, and conversational search content production.

How does the performance guarantee work?
We are confident in our methodology because we've proven it on our own business. If, by the end of the 3-month Setup phase, we cannot demonstrate that at least one major AI engine is recommending your business as a top choice for your target market, we waive our fees and work for free in month 4 (and month 5) until that specific outcome is delivered.

Have Further Questions?

If your business is eager to get ahead of the curve and capture leads from AI search engines, we're happy to have a further conversation. You can book in for a call via the scheduling tool below. Before you book, please keep the following criteria in mind:

Are you planning to invest soon? AI search behavior is evolving rapidly. Having a conversation with us will be most productive if you're planning to invest in the near future. If you're looking a year out, the landscape will have changed. We recommend starting the conversation when you're just weeks away from wanting to begin.

Are you investing for the future? Securing your position in AI answers is about building a sustainable, long-term moat against your competitors. It requires technical updates, credibility building, and content creation. If you are just looking for a temporary overnight fix, this might not be the right strategy for you.

Does this fit your marketing budget? Our service is structured for high ROI. The Setup Phase requires an investment of US$1,750 / £1,299 + VAT per month for the first three months to secure your initial rankings, followed by a reduced Build Phase of US$999 / £749 + VAT per month to expand and maintain your dominance. It's important that you consider whether this is a realistic spend for your business before we speak.
