SEO & AEO

Get found on Google. Get recommended by AI

Your buyers search Google — and ask ChatGPT. Velcod is a senior product studio that does both halves of modern visibility: classic SEO that ranks your pages, and AEO that gets your business understood, verified, and recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

Two disciplines, one goal

Rankings win clicks. Answers win decisions.

Traditional search and AI answers reward different signals. Here’s how the two disciplines split the work — and why you need both.

Who it's for

Built for businesses that get compared before they get called

If customers research, shortlist, and verify before they contact anyone, your visibility in search and AI answers is already deciding who they call.

Trusted specialists

Legal, medical, financial & advisory firms — chosen on credibility. Buyers verify you in search and AI answers before they ever reach out.

Chosen on trust

Local service leaders

Businesses where “best [service] near me” — asked on Google or ChatGPT — decides the shortlist, and the shortlist decides the calls.

Won on visibility

Considered B2B providers

SaaS, consultancies & service firms whose buyers research and compare for weeks — increasingly with an AI assistant doing the comparing.

Shortlisted on clarity

What we optimize

One program across search and AI

Six workstreams, one team. Every fix serves both surfaces — what makes Google rank you is the raw material AI engines cite.

 

Technical SEO

Crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, internal linking, sitemaps — the plumbing both Google and AI crawlers need before anything else works.

Content & on-page SEO

Search-intent mapping, page structure, and content depth that matches what actually ranks — no thin filler, no keyword stuffing.

Entity & schema

Organization, FAQPage, Article & Product structured data — so machines know exactly who you are, what you do, and where you operate.

Answer-first content (AEO)

Q&A blocks, clean definitions, comparison tables — content shaped so AI engines can extract it, quote it, and cite you as the source.

Authority & trust signals

Reviews, mentions, links, and Google Business Profile — the credibility trail engines verify before they rank or recommend anyone.

Measurement & attribution

Search Console, GA4, and AI-source traffic — visibility you can audit against a baseline, not vibes in a monthly deck.

How it works

A 6–12 week sprint, measured at both ends

Benchmark first, implement in the middle, re-test at the end. You see the plan before we build and the movement after we ship.

01

Audit & benchmark

We benchmark how you appear across Google and the major AI engines — rankings, citations, accuracy — and where competitors beat you.

Week 1
02

Map keywords & prompts

Classic keyword research plus its AI-era twin: the questions your buyers ask assistants, and who’s in those answers today.

Weeks 1–2
03

Prioritized fix plan

A ranked roadmap across content, schema, and technical — what to fix, in what order, and why. You approve it before we build.

Week 2
04

Implement

We ship the changes ourselves — rewritten pages, structured data, technical fixes, answer-first content. Working changes, not a PDF.

Weeks 3–8
05

Re-test & report

We re-run the benchmark against your baseline and report what moved. No guaranteed rankings — measured movement, honestly reported.

Weeks 9–12
Coverage

Every surface your buyers actually use

One engagement covers classic search and the AI engines that are answering your buyers’ questions today.

Why Velcod

A senior product studio, not a content mill

Visibility work fails in the hand-off between “the SEO people” and “the dev people”. Here, they’re the same team.

 

Engineers & content, one team

Schema, technical fixes, and copy ship together — no lost-in-translation hand-offs between strategy and implementation.

We implement, not just advise

The deliverable is shipped changes on your site — rewritten pages, validated markup, fixed plumbing — not a slide deck of suggestions.

Answer-first content system

Every page is structured for extraction — questions answered directly, terms defined cleanly, comparisons laid out in tables.

Schema & technical done properly

Structured data written and validated by engineers who build products — not pasted from a plugin and forgotten.

Measurement you can audit

Three tiers, reported against your baseline: AI-engine checks, Search Console & GA4 data, and the enquiries that actually arrive.

Honest by default

No guaranteed rankings, no lock-in, no invented numbers. If something isn’t working, the report says so — and what we’ll change.

Engagements

Start free. Scale when it works.

Audit-first, always — see exactly where you stand before spending anything.

The gaps we close

Why businesses are invisible to AI — and underperform on Google

Six failure patterns show up in almost every audit. None of them mean your business isn’t good — they mean machines can’t tell. Each one is fixable.

01

AI can’t tell who you are

02

No structured data

03

Content isn’t answer-shaped

04

Technical debt blocks crawlers

05

AI crawlers are locked out

06

No trust signals to verify

Why not the alternatives

Same goal — very different odds of the work actually shipping.

AEO is the practice of making your business easy for AI engines — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — to understand, verify, and recommend. It focuses on clear entity signals, structured data, answer-ready content, and trust signals, and it's measured by how often (and how accurately) AI answers mention or recommend you.

SEO earns ranked positions in Google through keywords, content, technical health, and links, and is measured in rankings and clicks. AEO earns presence inside AI-generated answers and is measured in citation and recommendation share. They build on the same foundations but have different finish lines — we run them as one program.

Yes. Google still drives most measurable traffic, and AI engines lean heavily on well-structured, authoritative pages when composing their answers — strong SEO is the raw material AEO works with. Dropping either half leaves visibility on the table.

Google Search, Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Bing / Copilot — plus Google Business Profile for local visibility.

A human-reviewed benchmark of how you currently appear across Google and the major AI engines, a competitor comparison, an accuracy check of what AI actually says about your business, and a prioritized gap list. It's delivered within 48 hours, and there's no obligation attached.

Technical and schema fixes are often reflected within weeks; content and authority compound more slowly. Our standard sprint runs 6–12 weeks: benchmark first, implement, then re-test against the baseline so you can see exactly what moved.

No — and nobody honest can, because Google and the AI engines control their own results. What we guarantee is the work: fixing the signals these systems rely on, and transparent before-and-after measurement of the movement.

No — and nobody honest can, because Google and the AI engines control their own results. What we guarantee is the work: fixing the signals these systems rely on, and transparent before-and-after measurement of the movement.

We implement. Velcod is a senior product studio with engineers and content people on the same team, so schema, technical fixes, and answer-first content ship as working changes on your site — not a PDF of recommendations.

Broadly, yes — GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and LLM SEO are overlapping names for the same discipline. We use AEO for the AI half of the work and treat it as one part of a single visibility program alongside classic SEO.
