Search is moving from ten blue links to one spoken answer.
Ask an assistant for a roofer in Hollywood, a dentist in Aventura or dinner in Coral Gables, and it replies with a handful of names. If yours isn't among them, the customer never sees you at all — there is no second page to be on. The whole game is being one of those names.
Three names, one job.
The industry has not settled on a word yet. AI SEO is the plain one. Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the same thing named after what assistants produce — an answer, not a list of links. Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the same thing again, named after the models that generate those answers. If a proposal uses all three as if they were separate services, that is a pricing decision, not a technical one.
Underneath, the work is one job: make your business easy for a model to find, read and trust. Complete profile, steady recent reviews, pages written in plain readable text rather than images and PDFs, consistent details everywhere, and presence in the independent sources these systems quote.
Four tracks to get you named.
AI visibility tracking
We run the real questions your customers ask — "emergency plumber in Doral", "best brunch in Coral Gables", "realtor who knows Brickell condos" — across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, and track whether you and your competitors get named. A monthly report in plain numbers.
The signals AI trusts
Google Business Profile, consistent citations, structured data (LocalBusiness, Service and FAQ schema), and fresh answer-style content — the on-site and off-site signals AI reads before it recommends anyone.
Getting named in the sources
AI quotes review sites, local press, "best of" lists and forums. We get you mentioned consistently across the independent sources it pulls from, so your name keeps coming up.
Multilingual by default
AI answers "mejor plomero en Miami" in Spanish and "best Italian near me" in English. We build your visibility in every language your customers search in — the edge most agencies don't have.
Three stages.
Audit
We show you exactly where AI does and doesn't recommend you today.
Plan
A prioritised list of what to fix first.
Monthly work
We build the signals and report the visibility trend.
AI answers vary by person and place, so we track the trend and the signal work behind it — not a guaranteed ranking.
Frequently asked questions.
What is AI SEO?
Optimizing your business to be recommended inside AI answers instead of, or as well as, inside a list of links. When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews who to hire locally, the model assembles a short answer from sources it trusts. AI SEO is the work of being one of those sources and being named in that answer.
What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
The same discipline under a more precise name. An answer engine returns one composed answer rather than ten links, so there is no second page to be on — you are either named or invisible. AEO is optimizing for that format: structured, readable pages, an accurate profile, recent reviews, and citations in the sources the engine quotes.
What is generative engine optimization (GEO), and how is it different?
It is not meaningfully different. GEO names the same work after the generative models producing the answers. AI SEO, AEO and GEO describe one job with three labels; anyone selling them as three products is selling packaging.
Is AI SEO different from regular SEO?
It overlaps and then diverges. Both need a site a machine can read and a business it can identify. But classic SEO competes for a position in a list, while AI SEO competes to be included in a single answer — which puts far more weight on your Google Business Profile, on recent reviews, and on being mentioned in third-party sources the model already trusts. A page that ranks fifth can still be absent from the answer entirely.
What is AI search visibility (AEO)?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) means becoming the answer when people ask AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google's AI Overviews who to hire, where to go or what to buy locally. Those answers pull from your Google Business Profile, your reviews and trusted directories — not from ads.
How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT or Google AI?
AI assistants cite reviews, your Google Business Profile and reputable local listings. Showing up means a complete, accurate profile, a steady flow of recent reviews, pages an assistant can actually read, and consistent business details across the web.
Does Boost My Spot help with AI search?
Yes. We optimize your Google Business Profile, build review velocity, structure your site so AI can read it, and get you listed in the directories AI assistants cite — across Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and the Gainesville area.
Why aren't AI tools recommending my business?
Usually because the profile is incomplete, reviews are thin or stale, key pages are images or PDFs instead of readable text, or business details are inconsistent across the web. AI can only recommend what it can find and trust.
How long does it take to show up in AI answers?
There is no guaranteed ranking, but most of the inputs — profile, reviews, listings — move over a few weeks of consistent work. We start with a free five-page audit that shows exactly where you stand.
Does this work in Spanish?
Yes — we work in English and Spanish (and beyond), so you get found by the customers who search in their own language.
Most of the inputs an assistant reads are the same ones that decide the map: your Google Business Profile and the wider local SEO groundwork behind it. Done once, they pay into both.
