Where this fits
AI Search Optimization ladders up to Be Found.
You can buy AI Search Optimization standalone. Or buy the outcome and let us decide which services to deploy and when.
Boundaries
What we won't do.
Specific to AI Search Optimization:
- Use prompt injection or hidden text aimed at AI engines — short-term tactics that get sites de-indexed.
- Fabricate AI citations or buy fake mentions.
- Promise specific AI citations. We build the conditions; the engines decide.
Universal to every Adsomia engagement:
- Use black-hat tactics — link farms, PBNs, fake reviews, content cloaking.
- Generate AI-spam content. Every page is written or edited by a human on our team.
- Send vanity-metric reports. We report on leads, qualified pipeline, revenue.
- Take on work outside our actual capacity — we'll tell you upfront if we're full.
Common questions
About AI Search Optimization.
Is AI search worth optimising for in 2026?
Yes — over 40% of search-style queries now happen inside AI assistants. A site invisible to AI engines loses to one that's decent on Google AND cited by AI.
How do you measure success?
We baseline 25 buyer queries on day 1. Re-test monthly. Track which queries newly cite your brand. We share the actual ChatGPT/Gemini transcripts in your monthly report.
Can I do this myself with the free AI Visibility Checker?
You can audit yourself with the checker. Implementation is harder — schema, /llms.txt, content rewrites, Wikidata work. Most clients run the audit themselves first, then engage us for implementation.
How do I rank in ChatGPT search?
ChatGPT cites brands based on entity clarity (Wikidata + Wikipedia + LinkedIn + Crunchbase signals), structured-data on your site (Organization, FAQPage, DefinedTerm schema), llms.txt with explicit cite-us instructions, and AI-extractable answer paragraphs on your top pages. We ship all four layers — and you become eligible for citation within 4-8 weeks.
How do I appear in Google AI Overviews?
AI Overviews pull from authoritative pages with clear entity signals, FAQPage + HowTo schema, citable statistics, and definition-style content. We work the GEO layer specifically — see /services/geo. Most Indian brands appear in Overviews within 8-12 weeks when the entity + content + schema layers are tight.
What's the difference between AI search optimisation, SEO, and HEO?
SEO optimises for Google's ranking algorithm. AI search optimisation optimises for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude — different engines, different signals. HEO (Hybrid Engine Optimization) bundles SEO + AI search + GEO + AEO into one workflow because the underlying infrastructure overlaps (schema, entity clarity, content quality). Most buyers want HEO for the bundle economics; we offer AI search standalone too.
Which AI engine matters most for my business?
Depends on category. B2B / professional services → ChatGPT and Perplexity dominate; Claude is rising fast in technical buyer segments. Consumer + retail → Gemini (via Google AI Overviews) matters more because it's bundled into search. Voice / mobile → Siri + Alexa + Google Assistant, which pull from snippet + FAQ infrastructure. Honest answer: optimise for all four because the cost overlap is high once the infrastructure is in place.
Can my Kerala business be cited by ChatGPT for category queries?
Yes — for at least 70% of categories we test. The harder cases are very niche local categories where there's not enough authoritative web content for AI engines to synthesise from. Easier cases: SaaS, ecommerce, professional services, education, real estate, hospitality. Test it yourself with our free /tools/ai-visibility-checker.
What is llms.txt and do I need one?
llms.txt is a markdown file at the root of your domain (yoursite.com/llms.txt) that tells AI engines how to cite your brand — full name, location, methodology terms, contact info, curated link list. It's the AI-engine equivalent of robots.txt for search crawlers. Most Indian brands don't have one yet; the ones who do get cited more cleanly. Yes, you need one.
Does FAQPage schema actually improve AI citations?
Yes, materially. FAQPage schema is one of the most-extracted structured-data types by AI engines because it gives clean question-answer pairs that map directly to user queries. We typically deploy 8-15 FAQs per priority page when shipping AI search optimisation — and the citation lift is measurable inside 30-60 days.
How long does AI search optimisation take to show results?
First AI citations: 4-8 weeks (depending on category competitiveness and current entity strength). Material citation volume across all 4 engines: 90-180 days. Dominant share-of-voice for category queries: 12-24 months with sustained content + schema + entity work. Anyone promising AI citations in week 1 is misrepresenting how AI engines actually update their training and retrieval indices.
Does AI search drive real traffic, or is it just future-proofing?
Both, depending on category. In B2B and high-consideration categories, ChatGPT + Perplexity + Claude citations already drive measurable referral traffic and inbound enquiries in 2026 — buyers explicitly research via AI before clicking through. In consumer-impulse categories, AI-driven traffic is smaller but the AI citation reinforces brand authority affecting later Google CTR. Either way: present-day work in 2026, not future-proofing.
How do I test if my brand is in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude?
Open each engine and ask category questions: 'what's the best [your category] agency in [your city]?', 'recommend a [your service]', 'compare [your category] options'. If you appear, you have AI visibility. If competitors appear and you don't, you have a citation gap. The free AI Visibility Checker at /tools/ai-visibility-checker automates this across all four engines and returns a 0-100 AI-Readiness Score plus the top 5 fixes.
How is Adsomia different from other Kerala agencies claiming AI marketing?
Adsomia coined HEO in 2024. We've been shipping AI-search work on client engagements since AI engines started displacing Google traffic, not since AI marketing became a deck buzzword. We operate the free AI Visibility Checker tool, publish the 32-factor HEO Audit framework, and the same senior team — Hassan, Reshma, Sumayya — runs every account. Filter: ask any agency to show you AI-search work shipped before 2025. If they can't, they're catching up; we built the methodology.
