AEO, GEO, LLMO, AI SEO... let's clear this up first.

These are all names for one shift: people ask AI for answers instead of scrolling ten blue links. The AI gives one synthesized answer and recommends specific businesses. Either you're in it or you're invisible.

AEOAnswer Engine Optimization

Structuring content so engines can extract direct answers.

GEOGenerative Engine Optimization

Getting cited inside AI-generated responses like ChatGPT and Perplexity.

LLMOLarge Language Model Optimization

How AI models understand and talk about your brand as an entity.

AI SEOAI Search Optimization

The catch-all umbrella term most non-technical owners search for.

Whatever you call it, the question is the same: when someone asks AI a question you should be the answer to, are you? Most owners have never checked. Read our guide to AI SEO.

What We Deliver

Comprehensive solutions designed to drive your business forward with cutting-edge technology and proven strategies.

Your AI Citation Baseline
We run 25 to 40 real buyer queries for your market across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews, and document exactly what each one says about your business. Screenshots, scorecard, the unfiltered picture.
Competitor Citation Analysis
Which competitors AI recommends instead of you, and the specific pages, reviews, and mentions those engines are pulling from. The part clients forward to their business partner with a one-line email.
Technical Foundation Review
Whether AI crawlers can access and understand your site: schema, crawler access, structure, speed, and answer-ready formatting. Including the one almost everyone misses: ChatGPT's live search runs on Bing's index.
Content Gap Map
The questions your buyers are asking AI that you have no content answering, mapped to a prioritized list of pages worth creating.
Off-Site Footprint Review
AI engines learn about you from across the web: review platforms, directories, Reddit and forums, press, entity databases. We find where you're missing and where your information contradicts itself.
Your 90-Day Roadmap
Every finding prioritized P0/P1/P2 with expected impact. Specific enough to execute yourself, hand to your current marketing team, or hand back to us.

A warning before you spend money on this (with anyone)

In May 2026, Google published official documentation stating that GEO and AEO are not separate disciplines from SEO, and called out tactics agencies package into expensive retainers as ineffective hacks. If you've been pitched lately, here are the red flags.

Urgency plus a brand-new acronym.

Google's own search team has said publicly that this combination is the signature of a scam.

A GEO retainer sold separately from, and on top of, SEO.

The signals overlap almost completely. Anyone charging you twice for one discipline is telling you something.

Proprietary secret methods.

There is no secret. There is structured content, real authority, technical cleanliness, and presence in the sources AI engines read. All of it is verifiable.

Guaranteed placement in ChatGPT.

Nobody can guarantee what a language model says. Anyone who promises this is lying to you.

No baseline measurement.

If they cannot show you where you stand today, they cannot show you progress later. Convenient for them.

The honest version is less exciting: winning AI search is mostly winning Google done properly, plus a few genuinely AI-specific layers most agencies skip. We build AI systems for clients, so we know how these engines select sources, not just the marketing around it.

AEO Audit FAQ

Honest answers about AEO, GEO, AI search visibility, and what this audit actually measures.

What's the difference between AEO, GEO, and LLMO?

Practically, very little. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) focuses on structuring content so engines can extract direct answers. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) focuses on getting cited in AI-generated responses. LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization) focuses on how AI models understand your brand. They're overlapping labels for the same goal: being the answer when your customer asks an AI a question. Google has stated they don't consider these separate disciplines from search optimization, and we agree.

Is this just SEO with a new name?

Mostly, and any honest practitioner will tell you that. The brands winning AI search are almost always brands with strong search fundamentals. But there are real AI-specific layers: Bing indexation (which powers ChatGPT's web search), entity consistency across the data sources models train on, presence in the wider source set LLMs read (Reddit, directories, transcripts), and answer-ready content structure. The audit covers both the fundamentals and the AI-specific layers, and tells you honestly which ones matter for your situation.

How much traffic do AI engines actually send?

Today, usually a small percentage of total traffic, and anyone waving giant numbers at you is selling something. Two reasons it still matters: it's growing fast and compounding, and AI answers increasingly shape decisions without a click at all. When someone asks ChatGPT for the best provider in your city and you're not mentioned, you lost a customer no analytics tool will ever show you.

How fast can results show up?

Engines that retrieve live from the web (Perplexity, Gemini, ChatGPT's search mode) can reflect improvements in roughly 60 to 90 days. Visibility baked into model training takes longer, often six months or more. The audit roadmap is sequenced so the fast-moving surfaces come first.

Will this work if my regular SEO is weak?

The audit will tell you that honestly. If your foundation needs work first, the roadmap says so, because pretending otherwise would waste your money and our credibility.

Do you guarantee placement in ChatGPT or AI Overviews?

No, and nobody honestly can. We guarantee a complete, accurate picture of where you stand and a prioritized plan based on how these systems actually select sources.

Built by people who build AI systems

Up North Media isn't a marketing agency that bolted AI onto its services last quarter. We build custom AI integrations, LLM-powered applications, and retrieval systems for clients. We understand how these engines find, evaluate, and cite sources because we work with the technology directly. That's the difference between optimizing based on how AI search actually works and optimizing based on a LinkedIn post about it.
