# AI search optimization: get cited in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI answers

> AI search optimization makes your business the source AI assistants quote. We make your site readable to AI crawlers, publish answer-first pages with verifiable facts, build mentions on the sites those assistants trust, and track how often ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Google AI features name you.

Buyers now ask an assistant before they ask Google. The businesses that show up in those answers are the ones the assistants can read, verify and trust. We build all three.

## Why it matters now

Answer engines summarize a handful of sources and link to a few of them. If your pages are hard to crawl, vague, or never mentioned elsewhere, the answer goes to a competitor. The fundamentals are still SEO fundamentals, applied to a reader that is a machine first.
