AI SEO services UK — appear in AI answers, not just the link list.
Search has changed. When your customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overview about the kind of service you provide, they get an answer with sources cited and links given. If your site isn't structured to be that source, you won't be in it.
I do AI SEO for UK businesses, from sole traders up to regulated mid-market.
Audits start from £1,500. Final scope depends on site size, complexity, and depth.
From £1,500
A focused audit for a small business site typically takes 2–3 days. Larger or more complex sites take longer — final timeline depends on site size, scope, and depth of analysis. Content programmes and GEO-ready builds are scoped separately after the audit.
What AI SEO is, in plain English
AI SEO is doing traditional SEO well, plus the structural work that lets AI search systems (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini) extract, understand, and cite your content in their answers. Traditional SEO is the foundation; AI SEO is the layer above. Both are part of the work. GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) is the sub-discipline focused on getting cited by large language models. AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) covers Google's featured snippets and knowledge panels. These terms overlap but are not interchangeable.
When you'd hire me for this
- You've noticed your competitor is showing up in ChatGPT answers for your service category and you're not
- You're producing content but it isn't getting traction in AI Overviews or cited by LLMs when someone asks about your area
- Your site ranks on Google but you want to start building visibility in the next layer of search before it becomes a competitive necessity
- You're building a new site and want AI search readiness built in from day one, not retrofitted later
- You've been running SEO and the results have plateaued since AI search became part of how buyers research
What you get
- AI SEO audit.A structured assessment covering both traditional SEO foundations and AI-citation signals. Covers: technical SEO (speed, crawlability, indexing), on-page SEO (structure, headings, internal linking), schema/structured data, entity clarity, answer-ready formatting, and content gaps. Delivered as a prioritised report with findings and next steps.
- GEO-ready content.Keyword-targeted articles, service pages, and FAQ content written to be extracted by AI systems. Answer-first structure. Definitional blocks at 40-60 words. Properly marked up with schema. Written in your voice, edited to the standard required for citation.
- AI-search-ready site build.When the brief is a new site, I build AI SEO in from day one. Site architecture, heading structure, schema, content templates, and internal linking are all designed with both Google and LLM citation in mind.
How I work
Audit
An AI SEO engagement starts with the audit. Two to three days for a focused site; longer for mid-market sites with more practice areas, larger content footprints, or agency-handoff requirements. You get a written report with prioritised findings: what's holding your site back from AI citation, what's straightforward to fix, and what requires more structural content work.
Diagnosis
When I audit a site, the most common finding isn't technical: it's that the content answers the wrong question at the wrong length. I've been seeing this pattern consistently since early 2025, as AI Overviews moved from experiment to default across UK search.
Content work
Content work follows the audit findings. I identify the questions your target buyers are actually asking in LLM-mediated search, map the gaps in your existing content, and produce answer-ready articles and pages against that brief.
New site builds
For new site builds, AI SEO architecture is included in every project by default. The extra cost is minimal when built in; retrofitting it onto an existing site is more work.
What it costs
AI SEO audits start from £1,500 for a focused small business site (under 50 pages). Full-scope audits covering content gaps, competitor citation analysis, and a full content strategy sit around £3,000. Mid-market sites, regulated sectors (legal, finance, healthcare), or audits requiring an implementation playbook for handoff to a third-party agency run higher and are scoped individually.
Individual GEO-ready articles run £200 to £500 depending on research depth and word count. SEO landing pages run £100 to £200 per page.
Monthly content programmes run £150 to £600 per month depending on volume. The exact deliverables and price are confirmed during the audit conversation, so the retainer matches what you actually need.
Every project scoped individually. Bands are honest guides, not menu prices.
