01 — The math

Invisible to AI, or cited by it.

When someone asks an assistant for the best option nearby, one business gets named — and the rest don't exist. This is the gap that decides which one you are.

Invisible to AI
at risk
  • AI can't find or read your site
  • Competitors get named instead of you
  • No structured data for it to quote
  • You don't even know you're being skipped
Cited by AI
$400/mo
  • Structured so AI can quote you
  • Consistent name, address, and hours everywhere
  • Content that answers the real questions
  • Monitored as the AI landscape shifts
*Every AI answer that names a competitor instead of you is a customer who never sees your door.

04 — What is it

What is search & AI visibility (SEO + AEO)?

Search & AI visibility means showing up in two places: traditional search (Google and Google Maps) and AI answers (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews). CREATIIV optimizes both — local SEO, Google Business Profile, on-page structure, and the schema and signals that make AI assistants name your business.

Frequently asked questions

What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?
AEO is optimizing your business to be named in AI assistant answers like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. It relies on a clear business entity, structured data, FAQs, and trusted signals like reviews.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO targets search engines like Google; AEO targets AI answer engines. They share foundations — clean structure, schema, reviews — but AEO also rewards answering questions in a way AI can easily extract.
How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT?
Be unambiguous as an entity with a consistent name, category, and location, add structured data and FAQs, and build real reviews and citations. CREATIIV sets all of this up.
How much does local SEO cost?
CREATIIV's search and AI visibility starts at $400/month, depending on your market and the work your site and listings need.
How long does SEO take to work?
Local SEO and AEO improvements typically show over weeks to a few months. Google Business Profile and review work can move faster.
