Your UK AI search agency
We help brands improve how they appear when buyers use AI search to compare options, research providers and make decisions.
AI search visibility, measured and improved
Tilio tracks where your brand appears across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews, then improves the pages, signals and sources most likely to influence visibility.
If competitors are being recommended and your brand is missing, unclear or poorly cited, we help you understand why and what to do next.

Why it matters
Why AI search affects buying decisions
More buyers are using AI tools before they visit a website, fill in a form or speak to a sales team.
The answer they get can shape who makes the shortlist.
That is why AI search visibility now matters. Your brand needs to be easy for AI systems to find, understand, compare and cite.
Agency role
What an AI search agency does
An AI search agency helps your brand become more visible and better represented across AI-led search journeys.
That includes improving how your business appears in:
- ChatGPT
- Perplexity
- Google AI Overviews
- Google AI Mode
- Gemini
- Claude
- Microsoft Copilot
- other answer-led search experiences
At Tilio, we focus on the commercial questions that influence discovery, comparison and enquiry.
We look at whether your brand is being mentioned, whether your pages are being cited, how competitors are appearing, and which content or technical issues may be holding visibility back.
Improvement areas
What an AI search agency helps improve
AI search work is not only about getting mentioned. It is also about how clearly, fairly and credibly your brand is represented.
Being mentioned
We track whether your brand appears for agreed buyer-intent prompts and commercial topics.
Being cited
We review whether AI search platforms are using your website, content or third-party sources as supporting evidence.
Being described accurately
We check whether your services, positioning, locations, claims and areas of expertise are being summarised clearly.
Being compared fairly
We analyse how your brand appears against competitors, especially in recommendation, alternative and comparison-style searches.
Being easier to trust
We improve the pages and signals that help AI systems understand why your brand is relevant, credible and worth including.

How Tilio improves AI search visibility
Our work combines AI visibility tracking, technical SEO, content improvement, entity clarity and reporting. Each campaign is shaped around your market, your competitors and the searches that matter commercially.
Measure where you appear now
We build a prompt set around your services, buyers, locations, competitors and decision-stage searches. This gives you a baseline across the AI search platforms that matter most. If you need a defined starting point before ongoing work, start with an AI visibility audit.
Find the gaps
We look at where your brand is missing, where competitors are being recommended, which sources are being cited, and whether your own pages are clear enough to support AI-generated answers. This includes reviewing technical foundations, site structure, internal linking, page quality and source clarity. You can read more about our approach to reporting on how we measure AI visibility.
Improve the pages that matter
We improve the commercial pages most likely to shape how AI search systems understand your business. That may include service pages, product pages, pricing pages, comparison pages, alternatives pages, location pages, FAQs and source-of-truth content. For focused page-level work, see our AI search content sprint.
Strengthen trust signals
AI search visibility is influenced by more than your own website. We help improve the wider signals that support your brand: clearer entity information, stronger evidence, better content relationships, third-party corroboration and more consistent descriptions across the web.
Report what changed
You get clear reporting on visibility, mentions, citations, competitor movement, description quality and next actions. The goal is to turn AI search data into practical work your team can understand and act on.
Going further
The full AEO and GEO programme
Everything above is the broad version. The specialist programme is the same work, named the way the industry names it.
Answer engine optimisation and generative engine optimisation are two terms for one Tilio programme: AEO for how you are selected, cited and described in an individual answer, GEO for the retrieval, source quality and third-party corroboration behind it. We do not sell them separately.
That page carries the detail this one deliberately leaves out: the four layers we run in order, why third-party sources decide so many recommendations, and our own measured position in the category.

New service
When a single prompt is not the whole story
Everything above measures how you appear in an answer. This measures how you appear across a conversation: full buyer journeys run end to end across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, rather than one prompt checked at a time.
- Where you drop out. The exact turn a buyer stops being shown you, mapped to six stages from framing the problem through to post-purchase.
- How often, not whether. Journeys are run repeatedly, so every finding is a frequency rather than the one conversation somebody happened to screenshot.
- What to do about it. Annotated transcripts, a live readout for your leadership team, and an intervention map that ranks each fix by the pipeline it reopens.
Start with the right level of support
If you want a quick baseline, start with an AI visibility audit.
If you already know your priority pages need improving, choose an AI search content sprint.
If you want ongoing support, reporting and implementation, view AI search pricing or speak to us about a managed programme.
FAQs
What is an AI search agency?+
An AI search agency helps brands improve how they appear when buyers use AI to research and shortlist, across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and the other answer surfaces.
The work usually includes visibility tracking against a real prompt set, competitor benchmarking, citation analysis, content improvement, technical work and reporting.
What is AI search optimisation?+
It is the work of making your brand easier for AI systems to find, understand, cite and recommend.
That means the signals behind an answer: whether your pages can be reached and parsed, whether your offer is stated clearly enough to be quoted, whether claims are backed by evidence, and whether the wider web describes you consistently.
Is AI search optimisation the same as SEO?+
No, though they overlap and one supports the other.
SEO improves how pages perform in a list of results. AI search optimisation is about whether your brand appears inside the generated answer, how it is described there, and which source gets the credit. Strong SEO makes that possible without making it happen.
Do we still need our SEO agency?+
Usually yes, and many of our clients keep theirs. The technical foundations an SEO agency maintains are what make a page eligible to be a source in the first place.
What we add is the answer layer: what AI systems actually say about you, which competitors they name instead, and what to change so that improves.
Can you optimise for Claude?+
We can improve the signals that help Claude understand your business, though nobody can set what it says.
That means clearer service pages, stronger source-of-truth content, better entity information, and more consistent evidence across your site and the sources that describe you.
How much does AI search agency support cost?+
Ongoing work runs on one ladder of four levels, starting from £499 a month, with each level including everything below it.
If you would rather buy a defined piece of work before committing to anything ongoing, the AI Visibility Audit is a fixed price with a fixed scope.
Where should we start?+
Most teams start with the AI Visibility Audit. It is fixed price, delivered in three working days, and it tells you whether there is a problem worth paying to fix before you commit to a programme.
If you already know which pages are weak, the AI Search Content Sprint rebuilds them without a retainer.
