What Is AI SEO? How Businesses Can Rank in the Age of AI Search

AI is changing how people find businesses. Whether it's Google’s AI overviews, ChatGPT, or Perplexity, more search results today are generated by AI tools instead of traditional search engine listings. If you're not optimizing for AI SEO yet, you're already behind.

What Is AI SEO?

AI SEO is the process of optimizing your website and content to show up in AI-powered search results and summaries. That includes:

  • Structuring content so AI can understand and cite it

  • Using schema markup for clear context

  • Building topical authority on your site

  • Getting listed on AI-indexed platforms (Clutch, LinkedIn, etc.)

Why AI SEO Matters in 2025

  • AI tools summarize, not scroll—users may never visit 10 links on page one.

  • Voice search & chatbot search are exploding—and they rely on structured answers.

  • Entities matter more than keywords—AI pulls from trusted brands and profiles.
