Search is splitting. Be in all of it.

Google is no longer the only place your customer asks the question. They ask ChatGPT, they read an AI Overview, they search inside Instagram. Marketing that only optimises for ten blue links is already behind.

Short answer

Digital marketing now spans three surfaces: classic search rankings (SEO), the direct answers engines assemble above them (AEO), and the citations generative models like ChatGPT and Gemini choose to quote (GEO). I work across all three, plus social and reputation, and report what actually moved rather than what looks good on a slide.

01 The short version

Three surfaces, one strategy.

For twenty years, search marketing meant one thing: appear high in a list of links. That is still worth having — it is still where most commercial traffic comes from — but it is now one of three places a buyer can find you, and it is the one shrinking fastest in share of attention.

The second surface is the answer. Google assembles an AI Overview, a featured snippet or a People Also Ask box, and a large share of searchers never scroll past it. Being the source that box quotes is a different discipline from ranking, and it rewards different things: a crisp definition near the top of the page, clean structure, schema, and a page that answers one question fully.

The third surface is the citation. When somebody asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Copilot to recommend a service, the model names a handful of businesses. It picks them from what it has read and what it can verify — consistent entity information, third-party mentions, structured data, content that reads like an authority rather than an advert.

These are not three separate budgets. Most of the work overlaps: fixing your technical foundation helps all three, and content written to genuinely answer a question serves all three. What changes is how you structure it, how you mark it up, and how you measure it.

02 SEO

Rankings that survive updates.

Technical foundations, on-page work and content that answers the search — across local, e-commerce, enterprise and international needs.

03 AI & Next-Gen Search

The part most agencies have not learned yet.

AEO and GEO are new enough that most of what is sold under those names is repackaged SEO. Here is what actually differs, and what I actually do.

04 Social Media

Social that supports the sale.

Not follower counts. Profiles, content and community that make a hesitant buyer confident enough to enquire.

05 Reputation

Own what page one says about you.

Reviews, mentions and the results that appear when somebody searches your brand name before deciding.

06 How it runs

How the work actually runs.

01

Audit

Technical crawl, index coverage, and a check of what AI Overviews and ChatGPT currently say about your category and your brand. You get the findings either way.

CrawlIndexAI check
02

Map

Which searches end in money, what they are worth, who owns them now, and which single page on your site should target each one. Duplicated intent is the most common problem I find.

IntentMappingGaps
03

Fix

Technical repairs first, because nothing else works on a site Google cannot crawl. Then titles, structure, schema and internal links.

04

Publish

Content that answers the question properly — long enough to be complete, structured so an answer engine can lift it, credited to a named person.
