Frequently Asked Questions

AI SEO is the process of optimising your website and business listings so that they appear as the top result when users ask questions using voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant, ChatGPT, or Gemini.

Traditional SEO focuses on keywords typed into search engines. Voice SEO focuses on conversational, natural language and long-tail questions people ask out loud. Voice searches are also more local and action-oriented, so the optimisation strategy is completely different.

Over 50% of all searches are now voice-based, and voice assistants typically recommend only one business as the answer. If your business isn’t optimised for voice, you’re missing out on high-intent traffic and potential customers.

We optimise for all major platforms including:

• Chat GBT

• Siri (Apple)

• Alexa (Amazon)

• Google Assistant/ Gemini

• Grok

• Claude, Perplexity and more emerging AI tools

Any business that wants more visibility—especially:

• Local service providers (plumbers, dentists, vets, etc.)

• E-commerce brands

• Healthcare and wellness clinics

• Hospitality and tourism

• Professional services (lawyers, accountants, consultants)

Most clients see noticeable improvements in 30–60 days, depending on competition and your current digital footprint. We use a streamlined strategy to deliver results fast.
