VANCOUVER, Wash. — October 20, 2026 — SEO specialist Chris M. Cartmill has published his 7 most effective AI-search optimization tips — a practical checklist small business owners can use to earn a spot inside the answers generated by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.Cartmill's list starts with writing website pages as direct answers. "When someone asks an AI assistant for the best option, it doesn't show ten links. It gives one answer," he said. "The businesses that win that answer have clear, consistent facts everywhere online — their services, their service areas, their reviews — written so AI can understand and trust them."
The remaining tips follow the same logic: keep business facts — name, address, phone, hours, and services — identical everywhere online; publish a steady stream of detailed customer reviews in real customer language; structure service-area pages so engines can verify every claim; add FAQ sections that mirror the questions customers actually ask AI assistants; make sure each page loads fast and works on phones; and regularly check whether the AI assistants are actually naming the business in their answers — then fix whatever is missing.
"Traditional SEO ranks your pages on Google. GEO — Generative Engine Optimization — gets your business cited and recommended inside AI answers: Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and the rest," says Cartmill, whose free starter guide "How To Do Your Own GEO SEO" lays out the playbook step by step.
The tips reflect 15+ years of Cartmill's search experience — the same system behind $13M+ in online sales generated for businesses through search marketing — distilled into actions a non-technical owner can apply to their own site.
