Traditional SEO Gets You Found. AI SEO Gets You Recommended.

Search success isn’t about choosing one over the other; it’s about making both work harder together. Traditional SEO builds the foundation: strong rankings, technical health, quality content and authority signals. AI SEO adds the next layer, helping your brand appear in AI-generated answers.

At 23 Digital, we connect AI and SEO so your brand can show up across the full search journey, from classic Google search results to AI-powered recommendations.

Our Four-Step Framework for
AI Search Visibility

23 Digital’s four-step framework helps your brand stay discoverable in Google while becoming easier for AI platforms to understand, cite and recommend.

Step 1: Getting the Foundation Right

Before AI can recommend you, search engines need to read your site properly. We tidy up technical health, site structure, content, internal linking and backlinks to deliver strong AI-powered SEO.

Step 2: AI-Friendly Optimisation

We shape your content so it’s easier for AI systems to pull from. From schema markup and answer-led formatting to FAQs, tables and clear summaries, we make your content clear, structured and citation-ready.

Step 3: Authority Building

AI platforms don’t only look at what you say about yourself. Our AI SEO services help you grow authority through brand mentions and E-E-A-T signals, positioning your business as a credible source worth citing.

Step 4: Visibility Tracking

Once your strategy is live, we keep a close eye on performance so you’re not left guessing. Regular tracking of Google AI SEO performance and other platforms shows where your brand is gaining traction and what needs fine-tuning next.

Proof That AI SEO Drives Real Growth.

Frequently Asked Questions About AI SEO

What is AI SEO and how is it different from traditional SEO?

AI SEO, also known as Generative Engine Optimisation, GEO or artificial intelligence SEO, is the process of optimising your website and content so your brand can appear in AI-generated answers across platforms like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini.

Traditional SEO focuses on helping your website rank in Google’s organic results. AI SEO adds another layer, shaping your content and brand context so AI platforms are more likely to cite you in their answers.

What is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)?

Generative Engine Optimisation, or GEO, is the process of shaping your content so generative AI platforms can reference and cite it.

It sits under the same umbrella as LLM SEO and AI SEO optimisation. While strong SEO foundations still matter, GEO adds an extra layer by making your content more structured and easier for AI systems to reference.

Which AI platforms does 23 Digital optimise for?

23 Digital optimises for the major AI search and answer platforms, including Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot.

Each platform reads and references information a little differently, which means focusing on one channel alone can leave gaps. We design your AI SEO strategy to improve visibility across the wider AI search landscape, with content and authority-building shaped around how each platform finds and recommends businesses.

What AI SEO tools does 23 Digital use?

As an AI marketing agency at the forefront of AI, 23 Digital uses a mix of AI tools for SEO, including AI visibility platforms, semantic audit software, schema testing tools and structured data validators that help us understand how your brand is showing up in AI search.

We also run manual prompt checks across platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Mode, because not everything worth knowing sits neatly in a dashboard. We combine platform data and citation checks to spot where your brand is visible and where you might be missing out.

How long does AI SEO take to show results?

Many businesses start seeing early movement within 60 to 90 days, especially in AI Overview visibility and brand mentions. Like traditional SEO, artificial intelligence SEO builds over time. The stronger your technical setup and authority signals are at the start, the faster you’ll see early gains.

AI for marketing is also cumulative. As AI platforms see your brand referenced more often across trusted content and relevant topics, your chances of being recommended continue to grow.

Can AI SEO replace traditional SEO?

No, and it shouldn’t. Traditional SEO is still the foundation that helps search engines understand and trust your content. Site health, useful content, quality backlinks and E-E-A-T all play a role in building that visibility. From there, AI SEO adds the next layer, improving your chances of appearing in AI-generated answers.

Do you offer AI SEO services for Australian businesses?

Yes. 23 Digital is a Melbourne-based AI digital marketing agency with teams in Sydney and Brisbane, working with businesses Australia-wide.

Our AI SEO services are shaped around the local search landscape. We look at how Australians search and use AI platforms to make decisions, then build a strategy that delivers visibility across traditional Google results and AI-generated answers.

How do I know if my business needs AI SEO?

If your customers use Google, ChatGPT or Perplexity to research options or make decisions in your category, AI SEO should be on your radar. At 23 Digital, we work with Australian businesses across professional services, eCommerce, healthcare, legal, finance and B2B sectors.

The easiest way to find out if AI SEO is right for your business is with a free audit. We’ll show you where your brand is currently appearing and what can be improved first.
