AI SEO for Malaysian businesses

What is AI SEO?

AI SEO is making sure AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews can find your website, read it, and state your business facts correctly when someone asks them for a recommendation.

Two names come up for it. GEO (generative engine optimisation) is about AI tools understanding and mentioning your business. AEO (answer engine optimisation) is about writing pages that answer customers' questions directly, so search results and AI answers can quote them.

Is it different from normal SEO?

Mostly no: Google's AI answers are built on its normal search ranking, so a site that is easy for Google to crawl and understand is already most of the way there.

The difference is emphasis. AI tools lean on clear facts (what you do, where, hours, contact), on answers written as plain sentences, and on what other sites and reviews say about you.

What does Axe Studio check?

Whether AI crawlers are allowed in, whether your key facts are in the page itself, and whether those facts match everywhere else your business appears online.

• Crawler access: robots.txt lets in GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google's crawlers.
• Readable pages: services, areas, hours and contact are plain text in the page, not only inside images or loaded by scripts.
• Business facts in code: structured data (schema) stating your name, phone, area served and hours.
• The same name, phone and address on the site, your Google Business Profile and directories.
• A short llms.txt summary for AI tools that look for one. Google ignores it, so it is a small extra, not the main work.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT or Google will recommend me?

No. Nobody can promise a ranking or an AI recommendation; what we can do is make sure AI tools can find, read and quote your facts correctly.

Reviews and mentions on other sites matter a lot, because AI tools often cite third-party pages over a business's own site. We'll tell you which of those are worth asking for.
