These AI SEO struggles are costing you customers
Invisible in AI-generated answers
Ranking well in traditional Google results, but never mentioned or cited when customers ask AI tools directly.
Uncertainty over what “counts” for AI visibility
Unclear whether it’s schema, backlinks, reviews, content or something else entirely driving AI citations.
Previous SEO strategy feels outdated
A strategy built for traditional Google rankings that hasn’t evolved to account for how search behaviour is changing.
Fear of being left behind as search evolves
Concern that AI-driven search is moving fast, and delaying action risks becoming invisible to a growing share of searches.
Stop losing customers to competitors
Get clarity around your AI SEO performance
Before spending more on AI SEO, you need to understand exactly how your brand shows up when customers ask, compare and decide using AI tools. The X-Chart is Shout’s proprietary marketing audit that assesses your website on what AI platforms actually reward. It gives you a clear commercial view of where you’re visible, where you’re being overlooked, and exactly what it will take to earn a place in the answers your customers are already asking for.

Here’s why brands choose Shout
With over 15 years’ experience in SEO and digital marketing, we treat generative search as an evolution of SEO, not a separate discipline, so your existing search authority carries through into AI-generated answers instead of starting from scratch, and every AI SEO strategist on our team turns this evolving discipline into a clear, actionable plan rather than leaving you guessing. It’s the same expertise that’s grown our clients’ revenue by over $100 million, now applied to making sure your brand is the one AI tools recommend, not your competitor.
We’re business people too,
and we understand how busy you are.

I've worked with Michael and his team at Shout Digital on several long term projects over the past 8 years, and I've always been impressed by the professionalism, accountability and frankly honest approach to simplifying digital marketing and providing great, reliable results for our projects time and time again.
We have worked on several Magento and Shopify migrations both domestically and global brands and the technical expertise in replatforming ecommerce sites without losing search equity first class.
Shout Digital is setting a better standard for the whole industry and I would definitely recommend them to brands starting out all the way to established complex marketing operations.

We've been working with Shout for a little over a year now - moving to external support from an agency was a big transition for us, but one that the Shout team, specifically Matilda & Megan M have supported us with tremendously. Willing and eager to understand our requirements and how to best deliver on that each and every week. We look forward to continuing to work together in the future.

AI SEO is the practice of optimising a brand’s visibility within AI-powered search and answer platforms, such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity, rather than just traditional search engine results. It involves strengthening the signals these tools rely on, including structured data, brand authority and answer-ready content, to increase the chances your brand is cited or recommended.
Traditional SEO focuses on ranking web pages within search engine results, while AI SEO focuses on being cited, summarised or recommended within AI-generated answers, which often don’t include a click through to a website at all. Many of the same foundations apply, but AI SEO places greater emphasis on structured data, brand entity signals and content that can be easily extracted and trusted by AI systems.
GEO, or Generative Engine Optimisation, refers specifically to optimising content and brand signals to improve visibility within generative AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini. It’s often used alongside or interchangeably with AI SEO, though it specifically emphasises the techniques used to influence how generative AI models synthesise and present information.
AEO, or Answer Engine Optimisation, focuses on structuring content so it can directly answer specific questions, making it more likely to be pulled into AI-generated answers or featured snippets. This often involves clear, concise formatting, direct answers to common questions, and content structured around genuine user intent rather than broad topics.
Brands often aren’t cited in AI-generated answers due to weak structured data, inconsistent brand information across the web, or content that isn’t clearly structured to answer specific questions. Even businesses that rank well in traditional Google results can be overlooked by AI tools if these underlying signals aren’t in place.
Yes, traditional SEO remains a critical foundation for AI SEO, as many AI tools draw on the same underlying signals, such as backlinks, content quality and site authority, when determining which sources to trust and cite. AI SEO should be treated as an evolution of SEO, not a replacement for it.
Measuring AI SEO performance typically involves tracking brand mentions and citations across AI platforms, monitoring emerging AI referral traffic, and assessing how accurately your brand is represented in AI-generated answers. Traditional analytics tools don’t fully capture this yet, so AI SEO often requires a combination of specialised monitoring and manual testing across different platforms.
AI SEO is still a rapidly evolving discipline, and timelines can vary depending on how established your existing SEO foundations are and how quickly technical and content improvements are implemented. Some improvements, like fixing structured data or entity information, can influence AI visibility relatively quickly, while building broader authority and citation presence tends to take longer.
While AI-driven search is growing quickly and changing user behaviour, traditional search engines remain heavily used, and most AI tools still draw on similar underlying signals to determine credibility. Rather than one replacing the other, businesses are increasingly needing a strategy that accounts for both traditional rankings and AI-generated visibility.
Shout Digital combines over 15 years of SEO expertise with a genuine focus on how search is evolving, helping brands build the structured data, authority and content signals AI platforms rely on to cite and recommend them. Every AI SEO strategy is built on the same strategic rigour that’s grown our clients’ revenue by over $100 million, now applied to this next chapter of search.
Shout Digital treats AI SEO as an evolution of SEO, not a separate discipline, meaning your existing search authority carries through into AI-generated answers rather than starting from scratch. Every account is handled by a dedicated, senior team, including AI SEO specialists with backgrounds at companies like Google and Apple, rather than being passed off to junior staff.
A good AI SEO agency should understand both traditional SEO foundations and the emerging signals AI platforms rely on, including structured data, entity clarity and answer-ready content. It’s also worth looking for an agency that can clearly explain how they measure AI visibility, since this is still an evolving area many providers haven’t fully developed the tools or expertise to track properly.
Yes, Shout Digital provides a free X-Chart audit, giving you a clear, honest picture of your current AI visibility, technical foundations and how you compare to competitors being cited instead of you. This audit forms the starting point for identifying the highest-impact opportunities before any budget is committed.
Shout Digital helps brands build visibility across major AI platforms including ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity and Claude, recognising that customers are increasingly using multiple AI tools rather than relying on a single search engine. Strategy is tailored to reflect how your specific audience is most likely to be searching.
AI SEO is relevant for businesses of any size, as AI platforms pull from a wide range of sources, not just large, established brands. Smaller businesses with clear, well-structured content and strong authority signals in their niche can still be cited ahead of bigger competitors who haven’t optimised for AI visibility.
Yes, Shout Digital combines foundational SEO with AI visibility monitoring and answer-ready content, ensuring your brand builds authority that compounds across both traditional rankings and AI-generated answers. This integrated approach means you’re not managing two disconnected strategies, but one cohesive plan for visibility wherever customers search.
Alongside AI SEO, Shout Digital’s services span local SEO, ecommerce SEO, enterprise SEO, international SEO, digital PR, paid social ads and Google Ads, allowing businesses to build a complete digital strategy that supports visibility across every channel. These services work together so your brand stays visible whether customers are searching on Google, asking an AI tool, or scrolling social media.
