AI Optimisation

Get Cited, Not Just Ranked

People are asking ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews the questions they used to type into a search bar. Those answers cite a handful of sources. AI optimisation is the work of making sure your business is one of them.

Why Choose PayPerClick For AI Optimisation

AI search is new. The underlying discipline is not. Making Australian businesses findable since 2002 means we can tell which parts of AI optimisation are genuinely new and which are search fundamentals in different packaging. That judgement keeps your investment on the work that moves the result.

The PayPerClick Difference

We have optimised for search since 2002 and the fundamentals have changed less than the headlines suggest. Clear structure, accurate facts and genuine authority still win. AI has raised the cost of getting them wrong, because a single answer now replaces a page of results.

Frequently asked questions

They overlap heavily and share the same technical and content foundations. SEO aims to rank a page so someone clicks it. AI optimisation aims to have your content quoted inside an answer, which depends more on direct answer formatting, clear entity information and third party corroboration of your business facts. We run them as one programme rather than two separate retainers.
No model can be guaranteed to name a business. What we can do is measure how often you are cited today, improve the signals that drive citation, and report the movement each month across every major model. That measurement is the part most providers skip.
Only if you have a specific commercial reason, such as protecting proprietary data or licensed content. Blocking them removes you from answers where your competitors will still appear, which usually costs more than it protects.
We build a set of prompts your buyers actually use, run them across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot each month, and record whether you are cited, how you are described and which competitors appear alongside you. An inaccurate description is as important to fix as an absence.
No. The businesses being cited today are the ones that structured their content first, and citation tends to be sticky once established. Much of the work also improves traditional search performance, so it is rarely wasted even if the models change.
Models draw on whatever is publicly available, so inconsistent business details, outdated directory listings, old press coverage and missing schema all feed inaccurate descriptions. Correcting your entity information across your own site and third party sources is usually the fastest fix, and often the highest value one.
