Your AI SEO (GEO) Expert in New Zealand

AI SEO, sometimes called Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), is the practice of making your website more visible inside AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Instead of just ranking in Google, the goal is to have your business mentioned, cited, or recommended when people ask AI for advice.

Search behaviour is shifting, and more people are asking AI for answers instead of browsing through pages of search results. If your business isn’t optimised for this, you risk being invisible in a channel where your competitors are already showing up.

By implementing AI SEO, you improve your chances of being found online by those actively seeking products or services like yours from tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and more. For New Zealand businesses with products or services people are already searching for, AI SEO can be a highly effective way to connect with them and unlock a new major growth channel.

It depends on factors like who you are working with, what your goals are, how many websites you have, and more. AI SEO is also a new type of service, so prices currently vary a lot.

Most local New Zealand agencies will charge around $1,000 to $10,000 per month for AI SEO. Freelancers on the other hand can charge anywhere between $500 to $5,000 per month for their AI SEO services. You can also find AI SEO "experts" on outsourcing platforms for as little as $5 (or free), but the results that they generate will be questionable.

For most New Zealand businesses that I work with on AI SEO, I charge approximately $500 NZD+GST per month (although it can be more if you want results faster, have multiple websites, or are optimising for multiple countries).

When I work with clients, I focus on real results backed by a practical approach to optimising your website for AI, and I educate you & your team along the way so that we share a common vision for success and understanding on how to get there.

In terms of experience, I have been working with AI since 2018, and have 10+ years experience optimising SEO and strategy on over 200+ businesses of all sizes & industries across New Zealand

If you do not see your traffic improve after 6 months of working with me, you will receive a full refund for my services.

Marketing agencies cannot guarantee results, and I am no different, but I believe that marketing should not be a risky investment for New Zealand business owners, which is why I de-risk the engagement.

Unlike other agencies that offer similar, I also only factor in keywords & topics that are relevant to your business and will generate you traffic from real customers.

To make sure we understand each other clearly, I am not guaranteeing you will be at the top of the first page of the results across all of the search terms you want within 6 months, as that process can require a lot of time and ongoing effort depending on how competitive your industry is, but what I will do for you within 6 months is deliver clear and positive improvement towards your marketing goals, and feel confident that working with me long term will continue to yield you positive marketing results.

Of course! My SEO strategies encompass every major platform including Google Search Results, Google maps, App Stores & Directories & anything else in my wheelhouse.

Getting picked up by LLMs like ChatGPT is a lot like SEO in that it takes time to start generating organic traffic from these AI platforms. For most stores, it usually takes around six months for your website to start getting good traffic from AI platforms, but this can be shorter or longer depending on how much time you spend optimizing for AI.

Ways to optimise for AI would include making your website easy to read by AI (metadata and llms.txt file), produce regular high-quality content (blogging), cross-share your website on social media platforms (Reddit) and review sites (TrustPilot, Yelp), and finally make sure you deliver a good browsing experience (website loads quickly, no bugs, etc).

You cannot directly submit links to be indexed in ChatGPT or other LLM platforms, but you can set up trust & authority signals which improve your chances of appearing in AI queries. Make sure your website is well optimised for AI, build high-quality backlinks, submit to important directories, collect online reviews, and cross-share your website on platforms like Reddit.

I have helped optimise across all major AI SEO platforms including but not limited to: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Google AI Answers, Perplexity, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Deepseek, Grok & more.

They’re all terms for the same emerging practice: optimising your website for visibility inside AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

• AI SEO: the broadest term, meaning SEO for AI-driven platforms.
• GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): optimising content so it appears in generative AI answers.
• LLMO (Large Language Model Optimization): focuses on how LLMs (e.g., GPT-4, Gemini) process and surface your content.
• AIO (AI Optimization): a broader catch-all that can extend beyond SEO.
• LLM SEO: essentially the same idea as LLMO, framed within SEO.

In practice, these labels overlap. The goal is the same: help AI models find, understand, and reference your business.

Not exactly. Each AI system has its own mix of data sources and ranking signals. For example, ChatGPT uses a blend of training data, plugins, and browsing, while Perplexity leans heavily on live web citations, and Gemini ties closely into Google’s search index.

The overlap is that all of them need clear, authoritative, and well-structured content to reference. By using strategies like LLMS.txt, structured data, and strong backlinks, you can position your business to be surfaced across all of them even if the exact mechanics differ. This is also why working with an AI SEO expert such as myself is important to optimise for the unique differences of each platform.

Traditional SEO is about ranking higher in search engines like Google by targeting keywords, optimising on-page elements, and building backlinks. It’s focused on getting clicks from search result pages.

AI SEO is about being mentioned or cited inside AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Instead of rankings, the goal is to have your business included in AI-generated answers. That means optimising for clarity, authority, and AI-readable structures so language models can understand and surface your content.

Of course! There are no fixed terms of contracts with my subscriptions. If you only want to use our services for one month, you can subscribe then cancel before your next billing cycle to get our full set of services for that month only.

By this, I mean that you can book as many video calls with me as you like, subject to my availability, to get my consultation or review work in progress. For most clients I usually meet with them monthly.

After subscribing, you will receive a special customer link you can use to view your past payments, change your billing card, and pause or cancel your subscription.

There are no fixed terms to our service, so you can cancel or pause it at any time without penalties or additional charges.

Pausing your subscription allows you to bank your days left in your current billing cycle to be used anytime in the future.

For example, say that you signed up and used the service for 20 days, and then decided to pause your subscription. Once you unpause your subscription, you will have 10 days of the service to use before the next billing charge.

You can use your one subscription to request work for an unlimited amount of sites, companies, or brands.
