AI Search Optimization Services
The way customers find your business is fundamentally changing. As search engines increasingly integrate AI to provide direct answers, it's no longer enough to simply rank in traditional organic results; you must also be the trusted voice in this new conversational search landscape.
At Mansfield Marketing, we understand that success in AI search is a three-pronged approach. It requires a cohesive strategy that combines Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). Together, these services work in unison to expose your brand, products, services, and solutions to prospects who have a problem you can solve.
The Three Prongs of AI Search Success
1. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO): Winning the Direct Answer
Answer Engine Optimization focuses on optimizing your content to be selected as the single, direct, and best answer for "zero-click" scenarios. This includes Google's featured snippets, "People Also Ask" boxes, and voice search replies. By positioning your content as the clearest solution, we intercept people in the research phase, establishing your brand as the immediate authority.
2. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): Becoming the AI's Trusted Source
Generative Engine Optimization is the strategy for this new AI-driven landscape. It focuses on positioning your content to be discovered, understood, and used by an AI model to create a new, synthesized response. The primary goal is to be cited or referenced within a longer, conversational AI-generated summary, positioning your company as a trusted authority whose expertise is foundational to the AI's answer.
3. Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Capturing High-Intent Leads
Our expert Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the third critical prong. While SEO also targets buyers in the research phase, we can place special emphasis on targeting people in the decision phase—the ready-to-buy Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs). We optimize your website to appear prominently in Google and Bing for the targeted keyword phrases used by high-intent prospects, driving high-quality organic traffic and inspiring action.
A Carefully Orchestrated Strategy
Each of these services has its part to play in a carefully orchestrated strategy. Alone, a service is a commodity, but when guided by our FADA® Framework and expert team, they become instruments in an orchestra.
This integrated approach ensures you are prepared for the "answer-first" web (AEO), build the credibility required for the "AI-synthesized" web (GEO), and capture high-intent traffic from traditional search (SEO). This is how we achieve the results our clients expect and empower your sales team to increase sales conversions.
How to get started
