What AI SEO actually means
AI SEO is a confusing name, because people use it for two opposite things. Some mean using AI tools to write their content faster. We mean the other one: making sure that when a customer asks an AI assistant to recommend a business like yours, yours is one of the names it gives. That is the job this page is about.
Search stopped being a list of links. For twenty years, being found meant ranking on a page of ten blue links. A customer scanned them and picked. Now a growing number of people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google’s AI instead, and get back one confident answer that names a small handful of businesses. The shortlist got shorter, and being on page two of Google stopped being a consolation prize, because there is no page two in an AI answer.
You have probably already seen this without knowing it had a name. The summary Google now writes at the top of its own results page, above the links, is called an AI Overview, and it answers a great many questions without the reader ever clicking anything.
The businesses being named are not necessarily the biggest ones. They are the ones these engines can read, verify and quote with confidence. That is a genuinely open window right now, because very few businesses in India are doing anything about it yet.
What our AI SEO services actually include
01Make your business readable to AI
AI engines cannot guess what you do. We add structured data to your site, the machine-readable description of your business, services, location and answers to common questions, so an engine can lift a clean, correct answer about you instead of a vague one.
02Make your details consistent everywhere
These engines trust businesses that look the same wherever they appear. Your name, address and phone number are checked across your site, your Google Business Profile and the directories that matter in India, and the mismatches are fixed.
03Track whether you are actually mentioned
Every month we ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini the questions your customers ask, and record whether your business came up. This is the part most providers skip, because it is the part that can prove them wrong.
04Close the gaps with content
Where you are not being mentioned, that question becomes the next piece of content, written to answer it properly. Over time the questions you own go up, and you can see which ones in your report.
Answer Engine Optimization and Generative Engine Optimization, in plain words
Two pieces of jargon get attached to this work, and they are worth about ten seconds each. You will also see the whole thing called ChatGPT SEO, which is the same idea named after the engine most people have actually used.
Answer Engine Optimization, usually shortened to AEO, means getting your business into the answer itself, rather than into a list of links underneath it.
Generative Engine Optimization, usually shortened to GEO, means the same thing aimed at the engines that write their answers from scratch, like ChatGPT and Perplexity.
In practice they describe one job, and we treat them as one job, because to a customer there is only one question: will an AI recommend my business? Anyone selling you AEO and GEO as two separate products is selling you the same work twice.
What this cannot do
Nobody can force an AI engine to recommend a business, and anyone who promises guaranteed placement is describing something they do not control. These systems change constantly and decide for themselves what to cite.
What we can do is make your business the obvious thing to cite, then measure whether it is working and keep adjusting. Expect three to six months before it shows consistently, the same as real SEO, because it depends on the same slow things. If that is not the answer you wanted, it is at least the true one.
What AI SEO services cost in India
There is no settled price for this yet, which is what you would expect from a service that barely existed two years ago. What you are likely to be quoted falls into three shapes.
A few thousand rupees a month. Usually structured data added once, and then very little that changes. Cheap because almost nothing recurring is happening.
Roughly ten to thirty thousand a month. Usually AI visibility folded into a broader SEO retainer. This is where an honest AI SEO agency will usually sit.
Considerably more. Agencies who will also run PR and press placements, which genuinely does move this, and is a different budget conversation.
Those bands describe the market rather than any survey, same as the ones on our website design page, so treat them as a way to sanity-check a quote rather than as a price list.
With us it is part of the Grow plan at ₹13,999 a month and is not billed separately, alongside your local SEO, your content and the monthly report that tells you whether any of it moved. If you only want the AI side and nothing else, say so and we will quote it that way rather than selling you a bundle you do not need.
