A real, screenshot-backed case study showing what AI SEO (GEO and AEO) looks like in practice for a Sri Lankan website.
Background and goal
Search is changing. People now ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode for recommendations instead of scrolling ten blue links. The goal of this project: make seospecialistssrilanka.com a source that AI engines trust, cite and recommend when someone searches for an AI SEO specialist, consultant or agency in Sri Lanka.
Result 1: Google AI Overview
Searching “ai seo specialist sri lanka” on Google triggers an AI Overview that names Prabath Buddhika Jayanath among top AI SEO specialists in Sri Lanka, with a link to the AI SEO Specialist Sri Lanka page. The knowledge panel on the side also shows seospecialistssrilanka.com.
Result 2: Google AI Mode
In Google AI Mode, the query “AI SEO Specialists in Sri Lanka” returns an answer explaining the shift toward Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO). The seospecialistssrilanka.com page appears as a source card beside the answer.
Result 3: ChatGPT
A free AI visibility test asked ChatGPT: “What are the best SEO agencies in Sri Lanka for small business growth in 2026?” ChatGPT cited seospecialistssrilanka.com and described it as specializing in data-driven SEO, including technical SEO, content optimization and link building.
In a separate ChatGPT conversation about AI SEO specialists in Sri Lanka, the first answer missed Prabath Buddhika Jayanath. After the search results were checked again, ChatGPT corrected itself and placed him first in the updated list.
