SEO, AEO & GEO services

Search isn’t just Google anymore. People ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews the same questions they used to type into a search bar.

Brightspot builds visibility across both: the search engines you’ve always optimized for, and the AI answer engines your buyers are already using.

Brightspot is a leading provider of SEO, AEO and GEO services, built on our ability to harness the full potential of the Brightspot CMS platform. Our team tracks how your content performs in classic search results and in AI-generated answers, and optimizes for both.

It starts with an audit that covers both.

What our audits cover

Every Brightspot audit runs 130+ checks: on-page optimization, technical SEO, backlink profile, keyword usage, user experience, and how easily AI systems can find, parse and cite your content. We use Screaming Frog, Page Speed Insights, Semrush, Ahrefs, Google Search Console for the search side, plus AI-visibility tracking for the answer-engine side.

The audit tells you where you stand today, in Google’s results and in AI answers. From there we build recommendations that plug straight into the Brightspot CMS: content fixes, technical fixes, site structure, backlink strategy and content restructured so AI systems can cite it.

Key components of a search- and answer-engine visibility audit include:

Brightspot provides built-in SEO features you can enable or review with any site launch. Here’s a punch list to keep in mind, both for search engines and AI answer engines.
Where search is heading
Search keeps splitting in two: traditional search engines (i.e., Google, Bing) and AI answer engines (i.e. ChatGPT, Claude). Here’s what to watch on both sides in 2026.

AI Overviews, featured snippets and zero-click answers
Google’s AI Overviews answer plenty of queries before anyone clicks a link. ChatGPT and Perplexity skip the click entirely. Structured data and clear, direct answers are how you get cited instead of skipped.

Voice search optimization
Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant keep growing. Natural language, long-tail keywords and direct answers to common questions matter more every year.

Mobile-first indexing
Search engines prioritize mobile-friendly sites. Yours needs to be responsive and fast on a phone, not just a desktop.

AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google SGE are reshaping content discovery, making AI the first readers of your content and driving new KPIs that reveal influence and visibility.
Your CMS is now one of the most important factors determining whether AI answer engines find and cite your content. This guide evaluates seven leading platforms against the criteria that matter for LLM SEO in 2026.
Comparison charts tell you which content management systems claim AI-readiness. Almost none show you what that readiness looks like once a page actually goes live.
SEO, AEO and GEO questions, answered
Straight answers to what teams ask us before signing on. If yours isn’t here, ask us directly.

SEO gets you ranked in Google and Bing. AEO gets your content pulled into direct answers like featured snippets and voice search. GEO gets you cited inside AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. Same goal, three different systems to optimize for.

Depends on where your buyers search. Most B2B buyers still start in Google, but a growing share ask ChatGPT or Perplexity instead and never see a results page at all. We build for both, so you’re not betting the whole strategy on one channel.

We run recurring prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and other AI platforms, then track how often, and how accurately, your brand shows up in the answers. It’s the AI equivalent of rank tracking.

No. Our audits and recommendations work on any CMS. Customers already on Brightspot get an edge: on-page and technical fixes plug straight into the platform instead of going through a separate dev queue.

Technical SEO fixes can move rankings within weeks. AI citation shifts more slowly, since it depends on how often the models refresh their training and retrieval data. Budget a few months before judging results there.

130+ checks: on-page optimization, technical SEO, backlink profile, keyword usage, user experience and AI-crawlability. You get a full report plus a prioritized list of fixes, not just a diagnosis.

Yes. Google still handles billions of searches a day, and AI answer engines often pull their answers from the same well-optimized pages that rank in search. Skip SEO and you lose both channels, not just one.
