Search didn't die. It split in two.
Your customers still Google, but a growing share of buying research now happens inside AI assistants that give one answer instead of ten blue links. If AI models don't know your business exists, you're invisible in the conversations where decisions get made. Most search work in this market is still built for a results page that is quietly disappearing.
People use ChatGPT every week, many of them researching purchases that used to start on Google.

AI Search (GEO/AEO)SEO That Still Converts
Traditional Google rankings still drive most revenue today. Proven, retainer-based SEO, now built to feed AI visibility at the same time.

Digital strategy that uses AI where it compounds: content systems, automation, and marketing workflows that grow without growing headcount.
Talk strategyTwenty years in search. This is the biggest rewrite yet.
I've been running search campaigns since 2006, for corporate accounts, local businesses and international clients. For ten consecutive years I ranked as a top affiliate for Buffalo Partners, one of the UK's leading gaming operators, competing in one of the most contested verticals search has ever had. Search has reinvented itself several times across those two decades. AI assistants are the largest reinvention so far, and I started working on it inside live client campaigns before most firms had a page describing it.
- Since 2006. Two decades of search campaigns across corporate, local and international clients, through every major rewrite of how results get ranked.
- Proven where search is hardest. Ten consecutive years as a top affiliate for Buffalo Partners in UK gaming, a vertical where the competition is relentless and the margins for error are thin.
- Early to AI search. I upgraded live client retainers for AI visibility before it became a standard service line, so the approach is tested on real revenue rather than theory.
- Published and taught. I write about AI search marketing and build training for business owners who want to run this work themselves.
- You work with me directly. The person setting your strategy is the person tracking model updates and citation patterns daily.
What an AI Visibility Audit tells you
Before you spend a dollar, know where you stand:
- Whether ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews mention you today, and what they say
- Which competitors AI models recommend instead of you, and why
- Your current Google ranking position for revenue keywords
- The specific gaps blocking AI citation: content, structure, schema, authority
Why "we already do SEO" isn't the same answer any more
How most search work is still done
- Optimised for ten blue links, on a results page that increasingly shows one answer
- Measured on rankings and traffic, with no read on whether AI models mention you
- Content written to hit keyword targets, structured for crawlers alone
- Authority chased through link volume rather than source quality
- Treated as a fixed playbook, revisited once a year
How search actually works now
- Built for the single synthesised answer that sits above the rankings
- Measured on AI mentions and AI Overview presence alongside Google positions
- Content engineered so models can extract it, attribute it and cite it
- Authority built in the specific sources AI models demonstrably trust
- Reset as models and citation patterns shift, which happens monthly
A focused path from invisible to recommended
AI Visibility Audit
I map exactly how AI assistants and Google currently see your business: mentions, citations, rankings, and the competitor gap.
Strategy & Priorities
A focused plan covering both engines: what gets you cited by AI models, and what protects and grows your Google revenue. Ranked by impact.
Implementation
Content, structured data, entity building, technical fixes and authority signals, done for you or alongside your team.
Monitor & Compound
Monthly tracking of AI mentions, AI Overview presence and rankings. The landscape shifts; your strategy shifts with it.
The results clients actually talk about
These come from long-term search retainers. The AI visibility work is newer, but it is built on the same foundations, for the same clients, on the same principle: the work has to move revenue or it doesn't make the plan.
Since engaging Marcos my online enquiry has quadrupled. Without ranking well, there really was no point having a website. I have found Marcos reliable, honest and a true professional.
There's a saturation of digital marketers out there and even more so guys that talk the talk, but rarely do you find someone who walks the walk, but Marcos is that guy. I really enjoy his straight shooting approach. It's been a 3X investment since November last year, and this year with some scale we are on track and forecasting 5 to 10x, easily.
Marcos has done an exceptional job for us and always focused on delivering results not just spending our money. With so many options out there we are very grateful to be able to have a partner like Marcos who we can trust and understands our business.
AI search marketing, answered
What is AI search marketing?
AI search marketing is the practice of making your business visible inside AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini, so those systems mention and recommend you when people ask buying questions. It's also called GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation), and it works alongside traditional SEO rather than replacing it. See how the service works.
What's your background in search?
I've worked in search since 2006, running campaigns for corporate accounts, local businesses and international clients. For ten consecutive years I ranked as a top affiliate for Buffalo Partners, one of the UK's leading gaming operators, in one of the most competitive verticals in search. That period covered several complete rewrites of how ranking works, which is a large part of why I recognised the AI shift early. More on the background.
Do you work with businesses outside Auckland?
Yes. I'm based in Auckland and work with clients across New Zealand, the UK, Canada and the US. The work is strategy, content and technical implementation, so it's delivered remotely with regular calls.
What does the free AI visibility audit include?
I test the real buying questions your customers ask across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Gemini, record whether your business is mentioned and how it's described, identify which competitors get recommended instead, check your current Google positions for revenue keywords, and list the specific gaps blocking AI citation. Free, no obligation. Book yours here.
How long does it take to see results?
Structured data, entity fixes and content restructuring can influence AI Overview presence within weeks. Building the third-party citations and authority that make LLMs recommend you typically takes three to six months of consistent work, similar to SEO timelines.
