search engine optimisation

AI SEO Agency Melbourne

You are already being described by AI assistants, whether or not you have done anything about it. The only questions are whether that description is accurate and whether you get named at all. We run AI SEO and classic SEO as one retainer, and we start with a readiness score on your actual site.

AI SEO, GEO and AEO are the same job under three names

You will see this work sold as AI SEO, as GEO (generative engine optimisation) and as AEO (answer engine optimisation). All three describe the same objective: being the source an assistant draws on when it answers a question, rather than a blue link somebody may or may not click.

The mechanics decide where the work goes. An assistant retrieves sources, writes an answer from them, then names some of what it used. Traditional SEO only influences the first of those. Being retrieved and then not cited is the most common failure and the least visible one, because nothing in your analytics records it happening.

How we run AI SEO

Three stages, starting with a number you can check yourself.

1. Readiness score

Seven weighted signals that decide whether an assistant can read your site and quote it. You get the score and the gaps whether or not you go ahead with us.

2. Fix what blocks retrieval

Crawler access, structured data that sits in the HTML rather than appearing after JavaScript runs, and a sitemap that resolves. Unglamorous, and everything downstream depends on it.

3. Write what gets cited

Pages that answer the question in the first paragraph and state specifics a machine can lift. Padded marketing copy has nothing in it worth quoting.

GEO is included, not an upsell

Some agencies have started charging separately for generative engine optimisation, which is the discipline of getting cited by ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews. We think that is hard to justify. Most of the work that earns a citation is work that also improves your rankings: better structure, better schema, clearer facts, stronger authority. Splitting it into a second invoice sells the same effort twice.

It is part of the retainer here. If you want the detail on how AI engines pick their sources, see GEO optimisation in Melbourne.

What you stop paying for

Not the work. The layers. A traditional SEO retainer funds a technical specialist, a content writer, an outreach person, an account manager and a strategist above them, plus the office they sit in. Each task is done by hand, by a person, and the fee covers all of it whether or not it moved anything.

AI now does the manual layers faster and more thoroughly than a room of juniors did. One experienced expert owns the strategy and checks the output.

Client Testimonials

"We found Dizian through a trusted referral, and I’m glad we did. Before engaging Alex, our SEO and Google Ads were honestly in a mess. There was no clear structure, money was being spent without clarity, and campaigns were being tested without a proper strategy. Alex came in, reviewed everything thoroughly, and cleaned up a lot of loose ends. He brought structure, accountability, and clarity to our digital marketing. It immediately removed the headache of wasted ad spend and uncertainty. Unlike many SEO agencies out there, Dizian genuinely takes the time to understand the client’s requirements, the products, and the overall business model. Alex didn’t apply a generic template — he took the time to understand what we do and aligned the strategy accordingly. What stands out most to me is Alex’s integrity and character. He is trustworthy, transparent, and genuinely committed to helping his clients succeed. His depth of knowledge and experience is strong."

"We have worked closely with Alex for over 2 years.

The services that he has provided for us have been invaluable to us as an early-stage startup, ensuring we have got off to the best possible start with all the right things in play. His communication is excellent and he invests time in explaining how things work and what benefit is to us in doing things a certain way. He has gone above and beyond to provide support where needed outside of the primary scope of engagement."

What is GEO Optimisation? A Melbourne Business Guide for 2026

Something significant is happening to the way Australians search for information, and most businesses have not caught up yet. A growing number of searches are no longer ending with a click on a website. Instead, people are getting their answers directly from AI systems: Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity. They ask a question, they get a synthesised answer, and they move on, without visiting a single webpage. This is not a trend on the horizon. It is already happening. And it has created a new discipline in Digital Marketing: GEO Optimisation, or Generative Engine Optimisation. This article explains what GEO Optimisation is, how it differs from traditional SEO, and what Melbourne businesses should be doing about it right now.
