DIREWOLF SEO

The UK’s Leading AI SEO Agency That Gets You Big Wins

Get AI To Recommend YOU.

Most UK business owners are now more or less aware that AI has taken over search. Your customers aren’t just Googling anymore. They’re talking to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google’s AI Overview, voice assistants… and they’re getting direct answers without ever clicking your website.

Ready to get discovered in AI search?

We specialise in AI Overview Optimisation (AIO) & Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)

Position your brand to be cited, referenced, and recommended across AI platforms.

  • Direwolf SEO is a results-driven AI SEO agency based in London. We rank businesses on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Perplexity, Claude and other AI Search Engines.
  • We help businesses dominate not just Google’s traditional rankings but the new frontier of AI-powered search.
  • Our approach bridges the gap between classic SEO and generative search. We use real-world strategy, content expertise, and brand positioning. The result? Your brand earns trust, mentions, and visibility inside AI-generated answers where customers are now searching.

How is AI-powered search affecting businesses?

Many businesses have felt the impact of AI firsthand:

“We’ve been ranking for years, but enquiries have flatlined.”
Why? Because search behaviour changed. Visibility shifted to answer-overviews and your site isn’t built to be cited.
“We’re writing more blogs, but nothing moves.”
Because generic content no longer cuts through. The new bar: content must be machine-accessible answers yet written for humans.
“Our competitors show up for the direct questions and we don’t.”
Often because they structured their pages for answer extraction and you didn’t.

AI visibility converts into customers

Long term, if your business wants to dominate in its niche, you can’t just play catch-up with traditional SEO. If your brand isn’t the source AI references, you’re invisible to a significant and growing segment of users who now trust AI systems to decide which businesses are credible and worth engaging with.

We help you appear not just in Google’s blue links, but also in AI overviews, in answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and even Google’s new conversational search features (AI Mode).

This visibility can convert into real business: clients, enquiries, bookings. 

And as a business owner, that is what you want from your search visibility campaigns. If you’re #1 for keywords but still not getting the calls, the work isn’t done.

What is AI SEO or Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)?

AI SEO (aka Generative SEO or GEO) is the process of positioning your brand to be recognised by AI systems, answer engines, and LLMs (large language models) as a trusted authority. It involves preparing your content, website and data so that AI search engines treat your brand as the authoritative source when a user asks a question. 

It’s different from simply getting Google rankings. When AI systems cite your brand, it signals to both search engines and users that you’re the definitive authority in your niche, resulting in higher trust and stronger engagement.

The Rise of AI Overviews & Generative Search

Google’s new AI Overviews and chat-powered search features involve an instant summary that blends insights from multiple trusted sites. That summary is what most people read first.

Industry data shows that over 70% of clicks still go to the top three positions… but AI-generated summaries are quietly stealing attention away from those clicks. Users are getting what they need without ever leaving the page

How LLMs Are Changing the Game

Large Language Models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini are becoming search engines in their own right. Millions of users now skip Google entirely and ask ChatGPT or Perplexity instead.

So, when ChatGPT tells someone, “Here are the most trusted dental clinics in London, based on online expertise and reviews…”, you want your brand to be the one it names. That’s what AI SEO is really about: training these models to recognise your brand as a trusted, relevant, and authoritative source.

How AI SEO differs from regular SEO

And why you need both.

SEO isn’t dead. Organic rankings still drive the majority of high-intent traffic, sales and enquiries. But the way people find answers is evolving.

Google is no longer just a list of links, it is now a conversation tool, a summariser, and an AI engine. Platforms like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot don’t always send traffic to websites… but they pull answers from them.

So today, businesses need two types of visibility

Regular SEO


Ranking in organic search results, appearing on page one, generating clicks.

AI SEO / Generative SEO (GEO)


Being the source that AI answer engines quote, summarise, and trust when users ask questions.

SEO vs AI SEO: What’s the Difference?

This is the title

Traditional SEO AI / Generative SEO Why It Matters for Your Business
Rank on Google’s page 1 and get clicks to your website. Be the source of truth AI tools use in answers (Google AI Overview, ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc.) Ranking is useless if someone never sees or clicks. AI SEO ensures your brand still gets seen, even when users don’t click anything.
Traditional SEO AI / Generative SEO Why It Matters for Your Business
Through Google’s blue links, maps, or organic listings. Through AI-generated answers, summaries or citations. Someone asks “How much does Invisalign cost in London?” AI gives an answer. The question is: Is that your answer, or your competitor’s?
Traditional SEO AI / Generative SEO Why It Matters for Your Business
Long-form blogs, service pages, keyword-targeted posts. Answer-ready content: short, factual, cited, structured in a way AI can extract easily. AI pulls short, direct facts, not 2,000-word essays. If your content doesn't give clear answers, AI ignores it.
Traditional SEO AI / Generative SEO Why It Matters for Your Business
Focused on ranking for exact keywords: “emergency dentist London”, “best probate solicitor”. Focused on questions, conversational queries, entity optimisation: “How fast can I get an emergency dentist in London?”, “What does a probate solicitor actually do?” Customers search in full sentences now for personalised answers to queries. AI listens.
Traditional SEO AI / Generative SEO Why It Matters for Your Business
Traffic, rankings, organic clicks, backlinks. AI citations, appearance in AI Overviews, being referenced in LLMs like ChatGPT / Perplexity, potentially leading to sales and customers. You can rank #1 but lose the customer to AI if you're not the one being quoted.
Traditional SEO AI / Generative SEO Why It Matters for Your Business
Backlinks, domain authority, on-page optimisation. Entity authority, structured data, expert-backed statements, verifiable statistics. AI needs trusted sources. Without factual depth or schema, it won’t choose your business as the answer.
Traditional SEO AI / Generative SEO Why It Matters for Your Business
Google Search, Maps, Bing. Google AI Overview, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, voice assistants (Siri/Alexa). Your customers are already asking ChatGPT for “best solicitor near me” and “top accountant in London.” You need to appear there too.
Traditional SEO AI / Generative SEO Why It Matters for Your Business
3–6 months depending on competition & industry. Slightly faster once authority & structure are built. AI notices fresh, factual content quickly. Advantage: early movers get locked in as trusted sources.
Traditional SEO AI / Generative SEO Why It Matters for Your Business
You lose rankings over time to competitors who invest in SEO. You disappear from AI results entirely. Customers get answers without ever reaching your website. Imagine AI answering legal or dental questions, and recommending someone else every single time.

Which One Should Businesses Invest In?

Both. But for different reasons.

Do This

  • Keep investing in Organic and/or Local SEO
  • Add AI SEO to your strategy

Because

  • Organic search still brings most high-intent website traffic, leads and calls.
  • Because AI platforms are now the first place answers come from, and being invisible there means losing trust and visibility.

Our SEO Services for AI-Powered Search

We help your business become a trusted source for AI-powered search engines. That means when someone asks a query, AI answers with your business.

AI Overview Optimisation

Google’s AI Overview and AI Mode is the new battleground. It doesn’t show every website; it picks a handful of trusted sources to build its response. We make sure you’re one of them.

What this includes:
  • Audit of your current AI Overview visibility (Are you showing up at all?)
  • Optimising pages to match AI answer-style formatting, which is clear, factual, structured, citation-friendly.
  • Creating content specifically built to be pulled into AI Overviews (Q&A layouts, answer blocks, fast facts, price breakdowns, process explanations).
  • Ensuring your business is mentioned, cited or linked as a source.

GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation)

Think beyond Google. AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Bard, Claude; they don’t crawl like Google. They reason, connect, and generate. GEO is about training these engines to trust you as a reliable source.

What we actually do under GEO:
  • Reverse-engineer how LLMs pull answers for your industry.
  • Optimise your content for generative clarity: structure, entities, conversational phrasing.
  • Strengthen your presence across trusted data sources (Wikipedia, government sites, trade bodies, news, journals; the places AI models are trained on).
  • Build content that AI wants to summarise, not just something humans might click.

Entity Optimisation

In AI search, you’re not a website. You’re an entity. A business, a person, a location, a set of services, reviews, credentials, trust signals. If AI doesn’t understand these connections, it won’t recommend you. We make your business “real” and trustworthy to AI and Google.

This involves:
  • Building & fixing your entity profile across the web (Google Business Profile, Wikidata, Crunchbase, Companies House, trusted directories).
  • Connecting your brand with correct people, locations, services, awards, qualifications.
  • Structuring data with schema so AI engines recognise what you are, who you serve, and why you’re credible.
  • Strengthening topical authority — so Google and AI models see you as a subject expert, not just another service provider.

LLM Performance Tracking

You can’t improve what you don’t measure. As a trusted AI SEO agency, we track rankings, clicks, impressions, and we also tell you if AI assistants are mentioning your brand.

How:
  • Monitor when your business is cited, linked or recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, Microsoft Copilot, etc.
  • Test your visibility across hundreds of real-world queries your clients actually ask AI.
  • Report on “AI Share of Voice”: how often you show up vs. your competitors.
  • Spot when AI gives wrong information about you (old prices, wrong service areas, outdated phone numbers) and fix it.

Our Process for AI SEO

Our AI SEO process is structured and transparent. We set out with one goal: getting your business recognised and recommended by search engines and AI platforms like Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity.
Audit & AI Visibility Assessment
Before we touch anything, we figure out where you stand. Not just in Google rankings, but in AI search too.

  • Do AI tools already mention you? Or ignore you entirely?
  • Is your business information accurate, consistent and trustworthy across the web?
  • What content, pages or platforms are holding you back from appearing in AI Overviews?
  • Are competitors being cited instead of you, and why?
This gives us a clear picture of your online authority, entity strength, technical health and AI readiness.
Strategy & Positioning Plan
Once we know the gaps, we build the roadmap.

  • Which services, locations or topics offer the fastest wins?
  • What needs to be fixed first. Your site, your entity signals, or your credibility across the web?
  • Where can we realistically get you cited; AI Overviews, industry publications, knowledge panels, local directories, etc.?
  • What content or digital authority assets do we need to create to make AI trust you?
Every move is planned with timelines and actions with expected outcomes.
Execution
This is where we get to work.

  • Improving your website so AI and Google can actually understand and use it.
  • Strengthening your brand’s entity. Your business information, reputation, reviews, mentions and digital footprint.
  • Creating and refining content that AI models can quote, reference and pull into answers.
  • Building authority in the right places. Industry websites, local publications, trusted directories, business profiles, PR and expert citations.
Everything is implemented with one goal: making your business the most trustworthy answer in your niche.
Tracking, Reporting & Refinement
Once things go live, we don’t slack or disappear.

  • We track how often your business is cited or referenced by AI search platforms.
  • We monitor your visibility in AI Overviews, Google search, and LLMs.
  • If AI gives wrong or outdated info about your business, we fix it before your customers see it.
  • Monthly reports focus on real outcomes: enquiries, bookings, citations, not just keyword graphs and traffic charts.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT AI SEO

AI SEO General FAQs

1How do you optimise for AI?
Optimising for AI means structuring your content and website so AI systems can easily understand, extract, and trust your information. This includes creating clear, factual, well-structured content that directly answers real user questions, using natural language and long-tail intent. AI looks for concise statements, strong topical depth, and clean structure; not keyword stuffing or long essays.
On the technical side, AI optimisation relies on semantic clarity: schema markup, accessible code, fast loading, open AI crawler access, and authority signals across the web. Elements like llms.txt, consistent brand citations, and expert-backed information help AI models identify your business as a reliable source. Once these foundations are in place, ongoing monitoring of AI citations and AI Overview visibility allows continuous improvement as models evolve.
2Can SEO be done by AI?
AI can support SEO, but it cannot replace it. AI is highly effective at analysing data, identifying patterns, speeding up research, and generating first-draft content, but it does not understand context, nuance, accuracy, brand positioning, or real-world business goals the way a human strategist does. Modern SEO still relies on human judgement, originality, and expertise, especially as Google continues to prioritise E-E-A-T (experience, expertise, authoritativeness, trustworthiness).
So in practice, AI can automate tasks, but it cannot run an SEO strategy on its own.
3How do AI Overviews affect SEO?
AI Overviews change how visibility works in Google. Instead of sending users to websites, Google now answers many queries directly on the page. This reduces clicks to traditional organic results, even for sites that rank well. For businesses, the challenge is simple: if your brand isn’t included inside the AI Overview, you lose visibility before the user even considers scrolling.
However, this shift also creates a new opportunity. When your content is structured, factual, and authoritative enough to be cited inside an AI Overview, you gain front-of-page visibility without relying on a click. It becomes a new form of ranking; one where being referenced by the AI matters just as much as your blue-link position. This is why AI-focused optimisation, entity authority, and answer-ready content are becoming essential parts of modern SEO.
4Is AI Overview the same as ChatGPT?
No, Google’s AI Overview and ChatGPT are two completely different things, even though both use AI to deliver answers. Google AI Overviews sit directly inside Google Search and summarise information from live, recently indexed web pages. Think of it as Google giving you a fast, source-backed snapshot of what the web says about your question.
ChatGPT, on the other hand, is a conversational assistant. It’s designed for back-and-forth dialogue, deeper explanations, and creative or complex tasks. It can browse the web when needed, but it’s not a search results feature, it’s a standalone AI you interact with.
The simplest way to think about it:
Google AI Overview answers a single question by pulling from trusted websites. ChatGPT becomes the assistant you talk to when you want a full conversation, guidance, or detailed reasoning.
5What is AEO vs GEO vs SEO?
SEO, AEO, and GEO are three layers of modern search optimisation.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the foundation: optimising your site to rank on traditional search results through technical performance, content quality, and authority signals.
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) focuses on structuring content so Google can extract direct answers for featured snippets, People Also Ask, and voice responses.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) targets visibility within AI-generated answers, ensuring your content is cited, referenced, or used as source material in tools like Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and ChatGPT.
Together, they form a unified strategy: SEO builds discoverability, AEO increases zero-click visibility, and GEO positions your brand inside AI-generated responses. The strongest modern content is engineered to perform across all three.
6Is GEO replacing SEO?
No, GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is not replacing SEO, but rather evolving alongside it. GEO is a new layer of optimization that complements traditional SEO by focusing on making content understandable and citeable for AI models, while SEO remains crucial for traditional search engine visibility and driving direct website traffic. Instead of a replacement, think of GEO as an adaptation of SEO for the next era of search engines.
Businesses now need both: SEO for visibility, and GEO for influence in AI-driven search experiences.
7What is Organic Search in SEO?
Organic search refers to unpaid results on search engines like Google. It’s the natural traffic your website earns based on authority and relevance, not because you paid Google (or other search engines like Yahoo and Bing) for ads.
8Is being visible in AI search important for businesses?
Yes, AI search visibility is now essential for businesses. AI tools are becoming a major way people find information, and if your brand isn’t included in those answers, you’re effectively invisible.
Why it matters:
AI gives zero-click answers. If you’re not part of that answer, you don’t exist for that query. Clicks you do get are higher-intent, because users come after already seeing you in an AI summary. AI boosts trusted brands. If your content is cited, it strengthens your authority. Most competitors aren’t optimising for AI yet, so early adopters gain a real edge. Search behaviour is shifting toward conversational and AI-assisted queries, and visibility ensures you stay in the journey.

FAQs About our AI SEO Services

1How do you optimise for Google AI Overview?
Optimising for AI Overviews means making your content easy for Google to extract, understand, and trust. Prioritise clear, structured answers to specific questions, supported by strong E-E-A-T signals and clean on-page organisation. Use straightforward formatting (headings, bullets, short paragraphs), refresh content regularly, and ensure your expertise and first-hand experience are obvious.
On the technical side, implement relevant Schema.org structured data, maintain fast and accessible pages, and use concise explanations that can be lifted directly into summaries. Content that is unambiguous, well-structured, and grounded in real expertise has the highest likelihood of being referenced in AI Overviews.
