Clarion’s case for AI search: +255% AI Overview citations
Google is still a huge part of how people search. But it's no longer the only place they go for answers. More than half of consumers now use platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Mode to recommend products, compare brands and answer questions before deciding where to click next.
As AI becomes an increasingly influential part of the customer journey, success is no longer measured solely by rankings. It's about whether your brand is visible, trusted and recommended when AI generates an answer.
As a leading AI SEO agency, we help brands earn that attention. By combining proven SEO services with Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO), we improve your presence across both traditional search engines and AI-powered search experiences, helping your business become part of the conversations your customers are already having with AI.
While search is evolving, the principles of great search marketing haven't changed. The brands that consistently create value, demonstrate expertise and earn trust are still the ones that get found.
AI search doesn't replace SEO. It builds on it. That's why we don't treat SEO and GEO as competing disciplines. We bring them together in one joined-up strategy, built around today's search behaviours to strengthen your digital authority and make your brand easier to discover wherever your customers search.
AI search may be evolving at breakneck pace, but great AI SEO still starts with solid SEO. We combine years of technical expertise with a practical, forward-thinking approach to help your brand perform across traditional search and the next generation of AI-powered search experiences.
Your customers don't think in channels, and neither do we. We bring together SEO, social media, content, technical optimisation and digital PR to build consistent signals that strengthen your brand's authority, making it easier for search engines and AI platforms to understand, trust and recommend you.
You'll find no shortage of AI experts on LinkedIn, but the reality is that nobody has AI search completely figured out yet. We keep one eye on what we know works today and the other on what's changing next, backed by bespoke dashboards that give you a real-time view of performance, the impact of every optimisation and where the next opportunities lie.
AI search isn't something we observe from the sidelines. It's built into how we work. We've developed our own internal AI capabilities to accelerate research, analysis and optimisation, helping us move faster, uncover deeper insights and spend more time applying the strategic thinking that delivers better ROI for your business.
As a 100% employee-owned agency, we're invested in every project because we're invested in the business. In a world where AI is automating more than ever, you'll work directly with specialists who take ownership, challenge ideas and bring the judgement, curiosity and commercial thinking that technology can't replace.
Your customers are already asking AI for advice. Is your brand is part of the answer?

AI SEO is the practice of improving your visibility across both traditional search engines and AI-powered search platforms. Alongside helping your website rank in Google, it focuses on increasing the chances of your brand being cited, recommended or referenced by tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Gemini and Claude.
Generative Engine Optimisation, or GEO, is the process of making your website easier for AI platforms to understand, trust and reference. That includes creating helpful content, strengthening technical SEO, improving structured data and building the authority signals that AI models rely on when generating answers.
Not at all. If anything, good SEO is more important than ever. AI platforms rely on many of the same signals that search engines have always valued, including high-quality content, technical performance and website authority. GEO builds on those foundations, helping your brand become more visible across AI-powered search as well as traditional search results.
We optimise for the platforms that are shaping how people search today, including ChatGPT, Google AI Mode, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity. Rather than chasing platform-specific tactics, we focus on strengthening the underlying signals that help your content perform consistently across AI search.
Traditional SEO focuses on rankings, traffic and conversions. AI SEO adds another layer, measuring how often your brand is seen, cited and recommended in AI-generated responses. Alongside your existing SEO reporting, we'll help you understand how visible your brand is across AI search and where there are opportunities to improve.
Most businesses simply don't know, and that's exactly where we start. We use our bespoke AI Discoverability Analyser to show how your brand appears across a range of AI search journeys - where you're visible, where competitors have the edge and the practical steps that can improve your presence.
Probably. If you already have a strong SEO strategy, you're in a great position because many of the foundations are already in place. AI SEO builds on that investment, helping ensure your content is ready for the growing number of people who are turning to AI for recommendations, comparisons and advice.
