001 / The shift
Your customers stopped Googling.
By end of 2026, 38% of UK consumer queries start in AI assistants. Most agencies are still optimising for 2019-era SEO. We are not.
You ask ChatGPT "what's the best private dentist in London?" — it gives you 3 names. You ask Claude "recommend me a UK SaaS for project management" — it gives you 2-3 specific brands. You ask Perplexity "top accountants in Manchester" — same thing.
That's how 38% of UK buyers now research. Not page 1 of Google. Three or four named recommendations from an AI assistant.
If your business isn't in those answers, you don't exist to those buyers. They never see your ad. They never visit your site. They book somewhere else.
And here's the kicker: most UK SEO agencies don't even know how to fix this. They'll talk about backlinks and content and Google rankings — all of which still matter — but they're missing the entire AI-search layer that's eating their clients' future.
VANTYX is the agency built specifically for this transition. We get your brand cited as the answer when prospects ask AI for recommendations in your industry. That's GEO and AEO. We're going to explain exactly what those are, and exactly what we do to make it happen.
002 / GEO & AEO
Two letters. One outcome.
Generative Engine Optimisation and Answer Engine Optimisation. Different acronyms, same goal: be the answer when AI is asked.
GEO
Generative Engine Optimisation.
Optimises your brand for the way generative AIs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) build answers. They don't return a list of links — they synthesise a response. Your brand needs to be inside that synthesised response.
llms.txt file — the new standard for AI crawlers
Schema.org structured data (Article, Organization, Product, FAQPage)
Entity SEO — building your brand in AI knowledge graphs
Reddit + Quora seeding (LLMs heavily train on these)
AEO
Answer Engine Optimisation.
Optimises your brand for direct-answer engines (Perplexity, Google AI Overview, You.com). These cite specific source URLs in the answer. Your URL needs to be one of the cited sources.
Featured-snippet structuring on key pages
FAQ schema (high citation rate in Perplexity/Gemini)
HARO + Featured.com placements (earned media gets cited heavily)
Wikipedia/Wikidata entity creation (highest signal for knowledge graphs)
Topical authority clusters (own a topic, AI cites you for everything in it)
The honest truth: the line between GEO and AEO is fuzzy. The same techniques work for both. We do them all under one service so you don't have to think about it.

007 / FAQ
Honest questions.
Typical timeline: 30-60 days for first citation in at least one AI engine, 90 days for consistent citations across multiple engines, 6 months for citations across all 4 major AIs (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini). Faster if your domain already has authority. Slower in highly competitive niches.
No, and anyone who guarantees specific AI placements is lying. AI engines update their training data and ranking algorithms constantly. We DO guarantee deliverables: schema deployed, llms.txt live, content rewrites published, seeding completed, dashboards updated. Our track record shows clients consistently get cited — but no specific query/citation can be guaranteed.
No, it's supplementing it. Google still drives the majority of traffic for most UK businesses. But the share is shifting: AI assistants now drive 38% of consumer queries (and growing). You need both. That's why our pricing tiers stack: GEO Foundations is the entry point, but most clients pair it with our SEO Authority retainer for full coverage.
Just give us access to your CMS (WordPress / Webflow / Shopify / etc.) and DNS for the llms.txt file. We deploy everything. If you can't give CMS access, we can deliver the code/files for your developer to install. Full developer-ready instructions provided.
It's already taking off — OpenAI alone has 800M+ weekly users in 2026. But even if growth plateaus, the work we do (schema, structured data, entity SEO, content rewrites) ALSO improves your traditional Google rankings. Nothing we do is AI-only. It's all "modern SEO" that happens to also work in AI engines. Worst case scenario, you got better Google SEO.
Yes — preferred. We use FENA Pay-by-Bank: instant settlement, sub-1% fees, proper VAT-ready invoices. Stripe accepted as backup for card payments.
Honest answer: most "GEO agencies" charge enterprise rates (£5-15K/mo) targeting Fortune 500. We're targeting UK SMBs and want to be accessible. Lower margins per client, more clients, same revenue. Plus we're new and still building case studies, so founder pricing reflects that. Once we hit 50 retainer clients, prices go up — locked rates protect early adopters forever.
Yes. No contracts, no minimum commitment. Cancel via email any time. Current month finishes, then it stops. We earn your business every month. Most clients stay 12+ months because the citations compound and delivering them is much harder than maintaining them.
