AI search visibility, SEO and agentic AI

The basics
What is AI search visibility?
AI search visibility is how often, and how favourably, AI assistants and AI search features mention your business when buyers ask real questions. You may also hear it called AEO (answer engine optimization), GEO (generative engine optimization) or LLM visibility.
We score every buyer question on a simple ladder: recommended, cited, mentioned or absent. If you are absent, a rival is usually named instead.
SEO, AEO and GEO
Strong SEO is the foundation of AI search visibility
SEO is not outdated. AI assistants and AI search features draw on pages that search engines can crawl, understand and trust. If your site is weak in search, it is usually weak in AI answers too.
AEO, GEO and AI search optimization build on that foundation. They add answer-style content, clear entity information and a presence on the third-party pages AI answers cite.
That is why Corelead is well placed for this work: our leadership has decades of SEO and digital marketing experience, since 1995, and we now apply it to AI search with our own agentic tools.
One family of work, many names
- AEO
- Answer engine optimization: shaping content so AI assistants and answer features can quote and cite it.
- GEO
- Generative engine optimization: the same idea, framed around generative AI answers.
- AI search optimization
- A plain-English name for improving how you appear in AI search features.
- LLM visibility
- How often large language models mention, cite or recommend your business.
- SI search
- Superintelligence search: an emerging term for where AI search is heading.

Frequently asked questions
What does Corelead do?
Corelead Interactive helps businesses get found in AI answers and search results through AI search visibility work, SEO and digital marketing, client tracking dashboards and agentic AI solutions.
What is the free AI visibility check?
We run 5 buyer questions on web search and one or two AI assistants, show where you stand on each, name the top 3 rivals mentioned instead, list the 3 most-cited source pages and give you one priority fix.
Is AEO different from SEO?
AEO (answer engine optimization) builds on SEO rather than replacing it. SEO makes your pages crawlable, relevant and trusted; AEO adds answer-style content, clear entity information and presence on the third-party pages AI answers cite. You need both.
What do GEO, AI search optimization and LLM visibility mean?
They are names for the same family of work. GEO means generative engine optimization, AI search optimization is the plain-English version, and LLM visibility describes how often large language models mention or cite you. Some people also use the emerging term superintelligence (SI) search.
Is there a free audit for SEO or ads?
Yes. Every service starts with a free preliminary audit: AI search visibility, SEO, paid search and paid social. Request one on our free audit page.
Do you guarantee rankings or AI mentions?
No. Nobody controls what search engines or AI assistants show. We measure where you stand and act on the gaps.
Where is Corelead based?
Chennai, India. We work Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 18:00 IST.
