🤖 Generative Engine Optimisation for Kerala Businesses
AI SEO Expert in Kerala – Get Your Business Cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity & Google AI
Nikhil Soman provides AI search optimisation in Kerala, also called generative engine optimisation (GEO) and answer engine optimisation (AEO). The goal is simple: when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google AI Overviews for a business like yours, your business is the one that gets named and linked.
What is AI SEO (GEO and AEO)?
Definition
Generative engine optimisation (GEO) is the practice of making a website easy for large language models to find, understand, trust and cite. Answer engine optimisation (AEO) focuses on being the direct answer in AI assistants, featured snippets and voice search. Both build on traditional SEO, because AI search tools retrieve from the same web index, then add entity clarity and citation-friendly formatting.

How AI search engines choose which businesses to cite
- Retrieval: the AI system searches the web (Google, Bing or its own index) for pages that match the question.
- Chunking: pages are split into passages. Passages that answer a question in their first sentence are easier to use.
- Entity matching: the system checks who you are, where you are and what you do. Inconsistent names, addresses or services reduce confidence.
- Corroboration: facts that appear on several trusted sources (directories, reviews, news, LinkedIn) are more likely to be repeated.
- Citation: the answer links to the sources it relied on most.

Is AI SEO different from normal SEO?
It is an extension, not a replacement. Pages that do not rank or are not indexed are rarely cited by AI tools. Nikhil Soman runs AI search optimisation together with SEO services in Kerala, so the same work improves Google rankings and AI visibility.
