AI search optimization: be easy to find in AI answers.
We help your website get found and quoted by the AI tools your customers ask: Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini. You may also hear it called generative engine optimization (GEO) or answer engine optimization (AEO). It starts with what these tools need from a website, not with promises.

A citation is not a visit, Bing marks the report as a beta, and euroflation.com is our own site, not a client's: it shows what happened there, not what another site will get.
What the work covers
Five things these tools depend on.
We start with what the makers of these tools say about how they pick pages, and we write down what we could not confirm as something to test.
Crawlers are allowed in
A tool can only use a page it may fetch. We check robots.txt and any firewall or CDN rules for the crawlers that matter, such as Googlebot and OAI-SearchBot. OpenAI says sites that opt out of OAI-SearchBot are not shown in ChatGPT search answers.
Pages are indexed in Google and Bing
Google says a page must be indexed and eligible to be shown in Search with a snippet to appear as a link in AI Overviews and AI Mode. We check indexing in Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. On our own sites we also send an IndexNow ping when pages change.
The answer is in the page text
The figure, name, step or price is written out in plain text, with its source and date next to it, in the HTML the server sends. Google notes that not every bot runs JavaScript.
The same facts everywhere
Your name, address, services and prices should agree on your site, your Google Business Profile and the listings that mention you. Google advises keeping the Business Profile up to date.
A monthly look at the answers
We ask the questions your buyers ask in ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini and Google, and record what each answer says, with the date. Answers change from one run to the next, so we report them as a small sample, not as a trend.
How it runs
An audit first, then fixes you have agreed.
In the first week we look at your site, your Google Search Console data and what the AI tools answer. At the end of the week we agree the list of fixes with you in writing. We then make them on your site as far as your access allows, and report every month what was done and what the answers show.

- Fix list, agreed in writing
- Fixes on your site
- Monthly report
Your site and your accounts stay yours: we are added as extra users, and you can remove us at any time.
What we do not promise.
No promise of a mention.
We do not control what ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini or Google answer, and an answer can differ from one run to the next. OpenAI also says that allowing its crawler does not guarantee a place in the results.
A citation is not a visit.
It means a page was shown as a source in an answer, not that anyone opened it.
Our proof is our own site.
euroflation.com is ours, not a client's. We do not publish results we have not measured.

Common questions.
Something else on your mind?
What is AI search optimization?
It is the work of making a website easy for AI search tools to find, read and quote: Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini. It is also called generative engine optimization (GEO) or answer engine optimization (AEO). Google says its AI features need no special files, markup or schema: a page must be indexed and eligible to be shown in Search with a snippet.
Can you get us recommended by ChatGPT?
No one can promise that, and we do not. We do not control what these tools answer. We can remove the obstacles we can see, such as blocked crawlers, pages that are not indexed and answers buried in images or scripts, and then show you each month what the answers say, with the date.
Is this different from SEO?
It overlaps a lot. Google says that all existing SEO fundamentals continue to be worthwhile for its AI features, and that there are no additional technical requirements. Other tools have needs of their own: OpenAI's search crawler has to be allowed in, and Bing Webmaster Tools reports how often a site is cited in Microsoft Copilot, so we watch that report too.
What do you need from us?
Access to your website and to Google Search Console, and Bing Webmaster Tools if you have it. Without access we can audit and advise, but we cannot make the fixes ourselves.
Where is Areza Digital based?
Our team works from Vilnius, Lithuania. Areza Digital is the trading name of AI Merge Studio Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 16370224). Its registered office is in Mildenhall, Suffolk; that address is the registered office only.
How much does it cost?
We quote after looking at your site, because the work depends on the site and on the access we get. We have no published price for English-language projects. For companies in Lithuania there is a published price on our Lithuanian SEO page.
