FAQ ## AI search questions, answered ### What is AI search optimization in Kansas City? It is the work of getting your Kansas City business named when people ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude or Google AI Overviews who to choose. We measure where you stand, then improve your citations. ### How is AI SEO different from regular SEO? Regular SEO aims to rank links on a results page. AI SEO aims to get your business named inside a written answer. The sources, signals and content that matter often differ. ### What is generative engine optimization? Generative engine optimization, or GEO, is how you get cited by AI assistants that write answers. It covers prompt research, technical fixes, answer-first content and tracking where assistants find their sources. ### Why did each assistant name different businesses? In our Kansas City test, 70% of named businesses came from just one assistant. Each tool draws on different sources, so being named by one does not mean you are named by the others. ### What do your AI SEO services in Kansas City include?
