Quick Answer
What is AI Search Optimization (AEO/GEO), and how much does it cost?
AI Search Optimization (AEO/GEO) makes your brand the answer cited in ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview. Traditional SEO chases ranking; AEO/GEO chases citation.
At Sagara, AI search work runs inside our monthly SEO and AI Search plans: Foundation at US$999 per month sets an AI visibility baseline, and Growth at US$1,500 per month adds ongoing AI visibility monitoring and authority work.

What Are AEO and GEO?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) makes content easy to extract as a direct answer: answer blocks, FAQs, dense definitions. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) focuses on how ChatGPT and Gemini select and cite sources. Together: AI Search Optimization.
The foundation is still healthy SEO, but the goal is citation inside AI answers rather than clicks. At Sagara it is built on top of our technical SEO practice already in place.
People now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity and get one answer with its sources. If your brand is not cited, you are invisible. Brands that move now become the source AI recommends.
Why Sagara
AN ESTABLISHED SEO AGENCY,
AN EARLY-MOVER IN AI SEARCH
AEO/GEO is a new field: no one has years of track record yet, including us. What we have is the foundation: technical SEO for BMW, Porsche, MINI, and XPENG.
We apply AEO/GEO on our own site: this page uses structured schema, answer-first blocks, DefinedTerm, and llms.txt. We sell a methodology we practice.
Discuss Your AEO/GEO Strategy
A Technical SEO Foundation
AEO/GEO is built on clean technical SEO - schema, structure, authority. We have already done this for premium brands, so the foundation is nothing new.
We Practice It Ourselves
The Sagara site uses structured schema, answer-first blocks, DefinedTerm, and llms.txt. This page itself is a demonstration of the methodology - proof you can inspect.
Honest About Expectations
We do not promise "guaranteed to appear in ChatGPT within X days". We are transparent about what can and cannot be controlled - and report citations as they are.
An Early-Mover Position
The AI search category is not crowded yet. Brands that lay the foundation now find it far easier to dominate citations than later, once every competitor moves in.
What We Do
SIX PILLARS OF AI SEARCH OPTIMIZATION
AI Visibility Audit
We check whether your brand appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview for your category queries - then map the gap: which questions do not cite you yet, and who is cited instead.
Entity & Schema
Entity and schema optimization (Organization, Product, FAQ, DefinedTerm) plus Knowledge Graph and Wikidata - so AI engines understand who you are, not just read keywords.
Answer-First Content
Restructuring content to be AI-extractable: concise answer blocks, self-contained FAQs, dense definitions, and citable figures. The format AI quotes, not rambling paragraphs.
Citability & Authority
Making the brand a source worth citing: first-party data, expert byline, and verifiable claims. AI cites sources that are credible and specific.
AI-Crawler Access
Technical setup for AI crawler access - llms.txt, and rules for GPTBot, PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended. If AI bots cannot read your site, your brand can never become the answer.
Monitoring & Iteration
Track AI citations over time - which queries start citing you, which do not - then iterate. This field moves fast; strategy is adjusted based on real data.
Methodology
HOW WE MAKE A BRAND THE ANSWER
AEO/GEO is a recurring process: audit, optimize, measure, iterate. We offer a sound methodology applied on our own site, not unprovable numbers.
Working Principle
BUILT ON SEO, AIMED AT AI CITATION
Audit AI visibility, strengthen entities and schema, restructure content answer-first, build authority with first-party data, keep crawler access open, and monitor citations. Every step is verifiable.

FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is AI Search Optimization (AEO/GEO)?
The practice of getting a brand cited and recommended by AI search engines, through AEO and GEO, so it becomes the answer in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview. SEO chases rankings; AEO/GEO chases citations.
How is AEO/GEO different from regular SEO?
SEO gets your website ranked and clicked. AEO/GEO gets your content cited inside AI answers, often with no click. They are complementary: clean technical SEO is the main fuel for AEO/GEO.
Why should brands optimize for AI now?
More people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overview directly and get one answer. If your brand is not cited, you are invisible. Uncrowded categories are far easier to win now than later.
