AEO and GEO for UK local service businesses
AEO means answer engine optimisation, and GEO means generative engine optimisation. Both help search engines and AI assistants understand a business well enough to use its information in answers. For UK local service businesses, this starts with accessible pages, consistent entities, clear evidence and content that answers real customer questions.

Who should prepare for AI search visibility?
This work suits trades, clinics, vets, restaurants, professional services and specialist retailers whose customers research providers through search engines and AI assistants. It is particularly useful when services, locations or business relationships are difficult for a crawler to interpret.
AEO and GEO do not replace local SEO. They build on clear website architecture, accurate business information and useful service content. We check whether important crawlers can access the site, whether pages state facts directly and whether the business is represented consistently.

What should you know before starting?
What is the difference between AEO and GEO?
AEO focuses on making information suitable for direct answers. GEO focuses on how generative systems understand, select and cite information. In practice, the technical and content work overlaps.
What does an llms.txt file do?
It provides a plain guide to selected public resources for language-model systems. It does not guarantee inclusion, but it can make important content easier to identify.
Do we need new content for AI search?
Not automatically. Existing pages may need clearer definitions, question-led sections and author or organisation context. We create new pages only when a distinct customer question deserves one.
Can you guarantee that an AI assistant will mention us?
No. Assistants choose and combine sources in ways no agency controls. We improve access, clarity, structure and consistency, then track selected mentions.
Want your business information to be easier to understand?
Tell us which services, locations and questions matter, and we will review crawler access, entity clarity and the content available to assistants.
