AEO, GEO and AI SEO in short

AEO (answer engine optimisation), GEO (generative engine optimisation) and AI SEO are names for the same job: making your business easy for AI assistants and AI search features to find, understand and quote correctly. Emirtech does this for businesses in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain in Arabic and English, through answer-first pages, consistent business details, honest structured data and regular checks of what the assistants say about you. No assistant can be promised to mention you.

What does AI search optimisation involve?

It means making your business easy for AI systems to understand and quote accurately: clear service pages, answer-first content, consistent business details, trustworthy mentions elsewhere and pages that crawlers are allowed to read. Most of it builds on good SEO, with extra attention to how answers are phrased and sourced.

AI assistants that browse the web retrieve pages and then summarise them, so being retrievable, clear and credible is the foundation. There is no secret switch, and the work is mostly careful, honest content and technical hygiene.

Generative engine optimisation in practice: what we change

We review how an AI assistant currently describes your business, then change the things within your control: page structure that answers questions directly, accurate entity details, frequently asked questions written for people, crawler access that matches your wishes, and reputation signals on trusted third-party sites.

  • Answer-first content: a short, direct answer near the top of each key page, followed by detail.
  • Entity clarity: one consistent name, address, phone number and service list across your site and listings.
  • FAQ content: real customer questions answered in plain language, in Arabic and English.
  • Structured data: applied where it genuinely describes the page, kept consistent with visible text.
  • Crawler access: reviewing robots rules for the AI crawlers you decide to allow.
  • Third-party mentions: accurate listings, directories and press that confirm what you do.

What we do not promise

We cannot promise that any assistant will mention your business, because each assistant decides for itself and changes often. Google's published guidance for its AI features says ordinary good SEO applies and no special markup is required, and Google Search does not read llms.txt. We avoid unproven tricks.

Research on generative engine optimisation is still young, and no technique has a stable, proven effect across all platforms. We report what we observe, label tests as tests, and focus on work that also helps conventional search and real customers.

How we measure AI search visibility

We run a fixed set of questions that your customers might ask across ChatGPT, Copilot, Perplexity and Google's AI features, and record whether your business is mentioned, cited or described correctly. We also review referral traffic from AI platforms and the AI reports available in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools.

Because answers vary between runs and between users, we track trends over several months rather than single results, and we are open about the margin of error.

How we check AI visibility, and the limits of those checks

We combine three methods, and none of them gives a complete picture on its own.

  • Manual query sets: a fixed list of questions your customers ask, in Arabic and English, put to ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot and Google AI Overviews each month. We record whether your business is mentioned, cited, described correctly or missing.
  • Citation tracking: we note which sources each answer cites, so we can see which pages and third-party listings the assistants rely on and correct mistakes at the source.
  • Search Console and analytics: Search Console shows impressions and clicks from Google Search. As far as we know, clicks from AI features are counted inside the normal web totals rather than reported on their own, so we read them as a general signal. Analytics shows visits from AI platforms that pass a referrer.

Answers differ between runs, users, locations and settings, and some platforms share no usage data, so a manual check is a sample, not a measurement. We compare trends over several months, label results as observations and never present a single answer as proof.

AI search programme pricing

UAE agencies that publish AI search pricing typically start from around AED 5,500 a month for focused programmes, with mid-market work reaching about AED 36,000 a month and enterprise programmes higher. Many businesses begin by adding answer-ready content to an existing SEO plan. Your quotation follows a free consultation.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Is generative engine optimisation different from SEO?
It overlaps heavily. Good SEO gives AI systems pages worth retrieving. GEO adds attention to how answers are phrased, how your business is described across the web and how you are measured in AI answers.
Can you guarantee a ChatGPT mention?
No. Assistants choose their own sources and change often. We improve the conditions for being found and cited and measure the result honestly.
Do I need an llms.txt file?
It is optional. Google has said it does not use llms.txt for Search, and evidence of its effect elsewhere is limited. We may add one as a low-cost courtesy but do not rely on it.
Do you cover Arabic AI queries?
Yes. Customers ask AI assistants in Arabic as well as English, so we check questions and answers in both languages.
Which AI platforms matter for UAE businesses?
ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity and Google's AI features are the main ones we monitor. We focus on those your customers actually use.
How much does AI search optimisation cost?
UAE market ranges start from about AED 5,500 a month for focused programmes and reach roughly AED 36,000 a month for mid-market work, with enterprise programmes costing more.
How does ChatGPT choose which businesses to mention?
When ChatGPT searches the web it retrieves pages and may cite them; otherwise it answers from what it learned in training. OpenAI does not publish how it ranks sources. A business can keep clear, crawlable pages, consistent details and accurate third-party listings, and decide in robots.txt whether OpenAI's search crawler may read the site. We check by asking a fixed set of customer questions and recording what appears.
How does Google Gemini decide which sources to use?
Gemini can draw on Google's search systems and other sources, and Google does not publish the full selection logic. The practical steps match good Google SEO: indexable pages, helpful content, accurate business listings and consistent details. We check with a fixed question set in English and Arabic, repeated monthly, because answers change.
How does Perplexity pick its sources?
Perplexity searches the web for each question and shows numbered source links, so pages it can read and quote clearly are the ones that can be cited. A business can write answer-first pages, keep them open to Perplexity's crawler if it wishes, and earn accurate mentions on trusted sites. We run the question set and note which sources are cited and whether they are yours.
How do Google AI Overviews choose pages, and can I be included?
Google says AI Overviews draw on pages that are indexed and eligible to appear in Search, and that no special markup or file is required. Ordinary good SEO is therefore the main lever. Appearances in Google's AI features count inside the normal Web totals of the Search Console Performance report, and Google is rolling out a separate Generative AI performance report to some sites, so we also check results manually. Inclusion cannot be promised.
