Quick answer
An AI SEO agency works on how AI answers describe and cite your business, and measures it. A complete engagement contains 6 things: prompt-set research, a baseline measurement of what AI systems currently say about your business, crawler access verification, entity consistency across the properties you control, ordinary technical and content SEO, and scheduled re-measurement. Loudachris, based in Wayville SA, delivers it inside the Website SEO retainer from $1,500+GST a month, and the measurement audit is free.
The Short Version
What an AI SEO agency does for an Australian business.
AI SEO is SEO aimed at being named and cited in AI Overviews, Google's AI Mode and assistants such as ChatGPT, measured separately from your ordinary rankings. The work underneath is the work that has always fed search: pages a crawler can read, plain facts about what you sell and where, and a business record that agrees with itself everywhere it appears.
You'll see it sold as AI SEO, AIO, answer engine optimisation or generative engine optimisation. The names describe the same work. The wider picture is on my AI search visibility hub, and this page is the buying decision: what the engagement contains, what it costs and how it's measured.
The Scope, Itemised
What an AI SEO engagement contains.
6 items, each with what it is and what to expect from it, so you can hold any quote against the list line by line, including mine.
Prompt-set research
What it is
A fixed list of the questions your buyers would genuinely ask an assistant, in their own phrasing, with the details they'd add: suburb, budget, urgency, licence, after-hours. I write it down and freeze it, so every later measurement asks the identical questions.
What to expect
The prompt set decides what gets checked, and you agree it with me before the first measurement. Keeping it fixed is what makes every later comparison honest.
Baseline measurement
What it is
Running that prompt set across the assistants your market uses and recording, word for word, what comes back: whether you're named, who's named instead, which pages are cited as sources, and how the description of you compares with your own.
What to expect
A distribution across repeated runs, because the same question asked twice can name different businesses. You see how often you're named, a truer picture than any single screenshot.
Crawler access verification
What it is
Checking robots.txt, your CDN or firewall rules and your server logs to confirm the crawlers that feed AI answers can reach your pages. Where one is blocked, you and I decide together whether that's what you want.
What to expect
This is plumbing. It clears the way for your pages to be read. Where bot protection was switched on for good reasons, I flag it so the choice is deliberate.
Entity consistency across properties you control
What it is
Making your business name, address, phone number, services, hours and description agree across your website, your schema.org markup, your Google Business Profile and the listings you can already edit. 1 version of the truth, everywhere you hold the password.
What to expect
Records that agree give any system a clear picture of your business, and I work on everything inside your control.
Ordinary technical and content work
What it is
The SEO retainer itself: indexation and crawl health, internal linking, server-rendered HTML, page speed, standard schema.org markup, and pages that answer a real question in plain English with the price, the process and the service area on the page.
What to expect
Pages written for people. A page that states plainly what you do, where and roughly what it costs is also the version an AI answer can quote most easily.
Re-measurement
What it is
Re-running the identical prompt set on a set schedule, comparing it with the baseline, and reporting the comparison next to the numbers that pay you: calls, forms and booked work.
What to expect
Variance between runs is labelled as variance, and a flat month is reported as a flat month, so the comparison you see is always the honest one.
The free audit covers the first 3 items for your business: a baseline prompt set, the measurement and a crawler access check, with a straight answer on what's worth acting on.

Where The Money Goes
Why it sits inside an SEO retainer, and what it costs.
Look back at the 6 inclusions. The crawl, the markup, the pages and the business record serve ordinary search and AI answers at the same time. Only the measurement is extra, and it works as a lens over the same SEO.
So the AI work sits inside my Website SEO retainer, priced by how much ground the SEO covers, all month to month with no lock-in. The full detail is on my Website SEO pricing page.
Free
The measurement audit: a baseline prompt set, a crawler access check and a straight answer on what's worth acting on.

Book the Free Measurement AuditThe Honest Comparison
Traditional search and AI search, side by side.
Every row marked plainly. 3 rows differ and 4 stay the same.
| Where the difference would sit | Genuinely different? | What that means in practice |
|---|---|---|
| How the answer is displayed | Yes | A written paragraph with a handful of cited sources, in place of a list of 10 links. Fewer slots, and the slots are named rather than ranked. |
| How you measure it | Yes | There's no fixed position. You measure a distribution across repeated identical prompts, and 2 runs can disagree without anything having changed. |
| How the question is phrased | Yes | Longer and conversational, often a full sentence carrying details: suburb, budget, timing, licensing. Closer to how someone talks than how someone types. |
| What has to be on the page | No | Clear, factual, well-structured writing that states what you do, where and roughly what it costs. The same requirement on both surfaces. |
| What the crawler needs | No | Server-rendered HTML that's reachable, unblocked and reasonably fast. The same crawl that has always fed search feeds this. |
| What your business record has to look like | No | Consistent name, address, phone, hours and services across every property you control, marked up with standard schema.org. |
| What you're actually buying | No | An SEO retainer, with the measurement as a diagnostic layer on top. |
Read the middle column top to bottom. Everything marked different is about display, measurement or phrasing, and everything you build stays the same. That's why I sell a measurement inside SEO. The longer argument is on what actually works in AI search.
Sold vs Sourced
The tactics in circulation, and what the documentation says.
Each row is a tactic that appears on AI SEO quotes, set against the published documentation, with the sources linked under the table so you can check any line yourself. Google's guide to its AI features says you need no new machine-readable files, AI text files or special markup to appear in them. The table covers tactics only and names no firms.
| Sold as | Status |
|---|---|
| llms.txt file | Google's AI features guide says no new AI text files are needed |
| AI-specific schema vocabulary | Google's guide says no special schema.org structured data is needed |
| Content chunking “for AI” | Absent from Google's guide, which points to helpful, people-first content |
| Writing specifically for AI | Google's guide points to people-first content. Write for people |
| Speakable schema as an AI lever | Limited availability, news publishers only |
| HowTo rich results | Retired from Google Search |
| Guaranteed AI citations | No provider operates the model that selects citations, so no provider can guarantee one |
Sources: Google Search Central, AI features and your website for the first 4 rows, the speakable structured data documentation for the speakable row, and the Search Central post retiring HowTo rich results for the HowTo row. Checked 15 October 2026. If any of this changes, this page changes with it, and every source is linked so you can check it yourself.
Proposal Checklist
5 lines to check in any AI SEO proposal.
A strong AI SEO proposal includes each of these. Every line is the version the documentation and the behaviour of these systems already support.
Measurement on a frozen prompt set
The budget goes to a fixed list of buyer questions, measured before and after. That's a better use of the line than an llms.txt file, which Google's guide says you can skip.
Standard schema.org markup, named as such
Competent technical SEO has included schema.org markup for years. A strong proposal names it plainly as part of technical SEO, since schema.org has no separate vocabulary for AI.
Pages written for people
Clear pages that state what you do, where and roughly what it costs serve the human reader and the AI answer at once. The person who clicks through is also the reader whose behaviour you can measure.
Commitments about the work itself
A published scope, a recorded baseline and honest re-measurement are things a provider controls and can promise. Citation selection is probabilistic, so a strong proposal keeps its promises to the work.
A measurement schedule in place of a citation date
A probabilistic output can't be scheduled, so a strong proposal tells you when the prompt set will be re-run and how the results will be reported.
A 6th test covers the rest: ask what the report would show in a month where nothing changed. A provider who can describe a flat month has built a real measurement.
The Right Fit
Who gets the most from this work.
This work suits businesses in these positions.
You have an SEO foundation and reviews to build on
Indexed service pages, a Business Profile and a steady flow of reviews give AI answers something to draw on, so the measurement turns straight into useful work. Where the foundation is still being built, I start with ordinary SEO and add the measurement once there's something for it to read.
Your buyers ask assistants before they call
Professional services, health, higher-value trades and anyone whose customers research before picking up the phone. The free audit shows whether your buyers' questions are already being answered by AI, and which businesses those answers name.
You like to measure before and after
The engagement is built around a baseline and a re-measurement, so owners who want the numbers, flat months included, get the most from it.
You'd like calls while the SEO builds
AI search work builds alongside SEO. For enquiries sooner, I start with Google Ads or Google Maps work (both priced above) and add the AI measurement once the pipeline is steady.
You're happy with your current SEO provider
Share the 6 inclusions with them. The work fits inside what you already pay for, and a good provider can run it for you.
