Frequently Asked Questions

AI SEO optimizes your brand's visibility not just on Google, but across AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude.

Traditional SEO focuses on ranking in blue-link search results through keywords, backlinks, and metadata. AI SEO goes further — it structures your content, entities, and authority signals so that large language models (LLMs) can understand, trust, and recommend your brand when users ask questions conversationally.

In short, traditional SEO gets you ranked; AI SEO gets you recommended.

Generative Engine Optimization is the practice of optimizing your content to appear in AI-generated answers — such as Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT responses, Perplexity citations, and Gemini summaries.

GEO focuses on making your content extraction-friendly, factually authoritative, and structured in a way that generative AI systems prefer to cite.

According to Gartner, traditional search volume is projected to drop 25% by 2026 as users shift to AI-powered search tools. AI Overviews already appear in over 11% of Google queries. 78% of organizations use AI in at least one business function (McKinsey, 2025).

If your brand isn't visible in AI answers, you're losing potential customers to competitors who are.

We optimize your brand's presence across ChatGPT (OpenAI), Google Gemini, Perplexity AI, Claude (Anthropic), Google AI Overviews, and voice assistants. Our strategies are platform-agnostic — we build the underlying authority and content structure that all major LLMs recognize.

No. Traditional SEO remains important for organic search traffic. However, it is no longer sufficient on its own.

AI SEO and traditional SEO work together — strong traditional SEO foundations (site health, crawlability, topical authority) actually improve your AI visibility. Ferventers integrates both into a unified strategy.

Ferventers provides a full suite of AI SEO services including: AI SEO strategy and implementation, LLM-specific optimization (ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude), Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), AI Visibility Audits, entity and schema engineering, trusted-source placement, prompt-ready content creation, LLM mention testing, and ongoing Share-of-Voice monitoring and reporting.

Our process follows four stages:

1. Discovery & Audit — we assess your current AI visibility, competitor landscape, and content gaps.
2. Strategy & Structuring — we build your entity framework, schema architecture, and content plan.
3. Execution — we implement on-site optimizations, create prompt-ready content, secure trusted-source placements, and engineer structured data.
4. Monitor & Iterate — we continuously track your AI mentions, Share-of-Voice, and ranking shifts, then refine the strategy based on real data.

Most clients begin seeing measurable improvements in AI mentions and citations within 60–90 days. However, the timeline depends on your starting point, industry competitiveness, and existing content authority. AI platforms update their knowledge and indexing at different intervals, so results compound over time with sustained optimization.

Yes. Our approach is holistic — we optimize for both traditional Google search and AI-powered platforms. A strong traditional SEO foundation (technical health, topical authority, quality backlinks) directly supports your AI visibility. We don't treat them as separate efforts.

We provide regular reports covering LLM Share-of-Voice across platforms, First-Mention Rate trends, citation and recommendation tracking, competitor benchmarking, content performance in AI answers, and actionable next steps. You get clear dashboards — not raw data dumps.

No ethical AI SEO provider can guarantee specific positions in AI-generated answers, just as no one can guarantee #1 rankings on Google. What we can guarantee is a data-driven, proven methodology that consistently improves your AI visibility, mention frequency, and competitive positioning. Our case studies demonstrate measurable results for every client we work with.

This usually comes down to one or more factors: your competitor has stronger entity recognition (clearer brand signals across the web), more authoritative third-party citations, better-structured content that AI models can easily parse, or more consistent and up-to-date information.

Our AI Visibility Audit identifies exactly where the gaps are and how to close them.

Our pricing depends on your business size, industry, competitive landscape, and scope of work. We offer customized plans for startups, growth-stage companies, and enterprises. Contact us for a free consultation and a tailored proposal that fits your goals and budget.

Yes. We offer a complimentary initial assessment that shows where your brand currently stands across major AI platforms and highlights the biggest opportunities for improvement. This gives you a clear picture before any commitment.

AI SEO is a compounding strategy — results build over time. We typically recommend a minimum 3-month engagement to see meaningful impact, though most clients continue well beyond this as they see sustained growth in AI visibility and leads.

Absolutely. While our offices are in Chennai, we serve clients globally. AI search optimization is not location-dependent — the same principles apply whether your audience is in India, the US, Europe, or anywhere else.

We work across a wide range of industries including SaaS, fintech, healthtech, e-commerce, B2B services, education, and professional services. Our methodology adapts to any industry where potential customers use AI tools to research, compare, and make buying decisions.

It's unlikely in the near term, but AI is fundamentally reshaping how people find information. Google itself is integrating AI Overviews into its search results. The future is hybrid — brands that optimize for both traditional and AI-powered search will capture the most visibility. Ignoring AI search means ceding ground to competitors who don't.

It varies by platform. ChatGPT updates its training data periodically and now has real-time web browsing capabilities. Perplexity searches the web in real time for every query. Gemini integrates with Google's search index. This means your content's recency, accuracy, and authority matter more than ever — stale or outdated content gets deprioritized.

Most SEO agencies still focus exclusively on Google rankings. Ferventers was built specifically for the AI search era. We combine traditional SEO expertise with deep understanding of how LLMs retrieve, evaluate, and cite information.

Our proprietary testing methodology measures real AI visibility across platforms — not vanity metrics. We don't just optimize pages; we engineer your brand's entire digital authority so AI systems trust and recommend you.
