🔎 SEO

SEO helps people find you when they search. Now that many customers ask AI assistants like ChatGPT or Google's AI Overviews for recommendations, it also means being the business those answers mention. AI SEO tools help on both fronts. They research keywords, show what competitors rank for, audit your site for technical problems, and give live tips as you write so your pages cover what searchers want. Many now track 'AI visibility': whether AI assistants mention your brand, for which questions, and how you compare with competitors. Some even draft or refresh content and suggest fixes when a page slips. For a small business, the basics still matter most: clear service pages, accurate local information, helpful content and a fast site. These tools tell you where to focus.

FAQ

What is AI visibility?

It's whether AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini or Google AI Overviews mention or recommend your business when people ask relevant questions.

Do I need an expensive SEO tool?

Can AI write my SEO content?

AI can draft and optimize, but add your own expertise, local details and real examples. That's what makes content stand out.
