Get found on Google
and AI search
Local SEO and AEO: stronger together.
Local SEO gets you found on Google today. AEO gets you cited by AI tools tomorrow. They work from the same foundation: a well-structured website, clear content, and the right technical signals. Done together, you're covered for how people search now and how they'll search next year.
What is Local SEO?
Local SEO is the process of making sure your business shows up when someone nearby searches for what you offer. Think "web designer Brisbane", "builder in Paddington", or "accountant near me".
It's the foundation of being found on Google Maps, in local search results, and in the organic listings below ads. For Brisbane small businesses, it's one of the highest-return investments you can make.
What is AEO?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimisation. It's the practice of structuring your website and content so that AI tools like ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews, Perplexity, and voice assistants can find, understand, and recommend your business.
When someone asks an AI tool "who is the best web designer in Brisbane?" the AI pulls its answer from somewhere. AEO is the work that gets your business into that answer.

How long does SEO take to work?
Most businesses start to see meaningful movement in three to six months. Local SEO can show results faster, particularly for Google Business Profile visibility. AEO works alongside your broader content strategy and tends to compound over time. The key is getting the foundations right from day one.
Do I need SEO if I already run Google Ads?
Yes. Ads stop the moment you stop paying. Organic SEO builds long-term visibility that keeps working in the background. Most businesses find the best results come from combining both, especially while organic rankings are building. SEO also lowers your cost per click over time.

What is AEO and why does it matter now?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimisation. As more people use AI tools like ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews, and voice search to find businesses, the way you get recommended is changing. AEO structures your content and technical signals so AI tools can find, understand, and recommend your business in their answers.
