AI SEO
Get your restaurant recommended when diners ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google’s AI where to eat.
Diners are asking AI where to eat, and AI answers with a shortlist, not a page of links. If your restaurant isn’t on it, you’re not in the running. Nearly one in five UK consumers already use AI tools to plan where to eat and drink out, rising to 39% in London (Zonal and NIQ, October 2026).
AI SEO, also called generative engine optimisation (GEO) or answer engine optimisation (AEO), makes your restaurant easy for AI tools to find, understand, trust and recommend. ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode build their answers from what they can read about you online: your Google Business Profile, your reviews, your website, your listings and what trusted sites say about you.
Since April 2026, Google’s AI Mode can find diners a table in the UK and hand them straight to booking partners such as OpenTable, SevenRooms, ResDiary and TheFork. Being the restaurant AI recommends is fast becoming the shortest route to a booking.
We start with an AI visibility check. We ask the AI tools the questions your customers ask, such as “best Indian restaurant in Bedford” or “dog-friendly brunch near me”, and see who gets named and why. Then we close the gaps: accurate, consistent information everywhere, structured data on your site, answer-first menu and location pages, a steady flow of strong reviews, and mentions on the sites AI relies on.
AI SEO is built on good SEO, so it sits inside every plan alongside your Google and Maps work. Your monthly report shows your Google AI Overview mentions and citations, tracked keyword by keyword, next to your rankings, visits and enquiries.

It’s making your restaurant easy for AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews to find, understand and recommend. You may also hear it called GEO (generative engine optimisation) or AEO (answer engine optimisation).
No. Nobody controls what an AI tool recommends, and anyone who promises it is guessing. We build everything those tools look for and track your progress every month.
It’s built on the same foundations. AI tools lean on Google’s local data, your reviews and trusted websites, so strong SEO helps both. AI SEO adds structured data, answer-first content and wider brand mentions.
On every plan, we track whether your site is mentioned or cited in Google’s AI Overviews for your key searches, keyword by keyword, and show it in your monthly report. On Complete, we also check the questions your customers ask in ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity every month and report what they say about you.
Yes. AI search foundations come with Local SEO in all four plans. City-wide adds answer-style content for AI search, and National adds brand mentions and citations across trusted sources.
