Straight answers on AI SEO, local SEO, timelines and what to expect when we work together.
AI SEO
What is AI SEO?
AI SEO is optimizing your website and brand so AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews mention, cite or recommend you in their answers.
Why does AI search visibility matter for Sri Lankan businesses?
More people now ask AI tools for recommendations instead of scrolling through results. If AI doesn't know your business exists, competitors who appear in those answers get the customers.
How is AI SEO different from traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO ranks your pages in a list of links. AI SEO makes your brand clear, trusted and easy for AI systems to quote, with extra weight on direct answers, consistent brand details and third-party mentions.
Can you guarantee my business will appear in ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews?
No one can. AI answers vary by prompt, platform and time. We improve the signals that raise your chances and report your progress transparently.
How do AI tools decide which businesses to recommend?
They use training data, live web retrieval and trust signals such as authoritative content, reviews, directory listings and consistent business details across the web.
What is GEO or AEO?
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) both describe optimizing for AI-generated answers. They are used interchangeably with AI SEO.
What content gets cited by AI tools?
Clear, factual pages with direct answers under question-style headings, original data, comparisons, local expertise and named expert authors.
Does schema markup help with AI search?
Yes. Structured data such as Organization, LocalBusiness, FAQ and Product helps machines understand who you are, what you offer and where you operate.
Should I allow AI crawlers on my website?
Usually yes, if you want visibility. Blocking crawlers like GPTBot or PerplexityBot in robots.txt can reduce your chances of being cited. We can review your settings and advise.
How do you measure AI search visibility?
We track a set of relevant prompts across major AI platforms and report mention rate, citation rate, sentiment and how you compare with competitors.
How long does AI SEO take to show results?
Platforms that retrieve live web content can respond within weeks. Changes that depend on model training can take several months.
SEO in Sri Lanka
Do I still need traditional SEO in Sri Lanka?
Yes. Google rankings, technical health and backlinks still drive traffic and feed the sources AI tools retrieve from. Traditional SEO is the foundation for AI visibility.
How does local SEO work for businesses in Colombo and other cities?
We optimize your Google Business Profile, local citations, reviews and location pages so you appear in "near me" and city searches for Colombo, Kandy, Galle, Jaffna and more.
Can you optimize for Sinhala and Tamil searches?
Yes. Many Sri Lankans search in Sinhala, Tamil, English or a mix. We research keywords in the languages your customers use and build multilingual content where it makes sense.
Should I use a .lk domain or a .com?
A .lk domain signals local relevance, while a .com suits businesses that also target international customers. We'll recommend the right setup for your audience.
How long does SEO take to work in Sri Lanka?
Local and low-competition keywords can improve within 2 to 4 months. Competitive terms usually take 6 months or longer.
