SEO For Claude

Position Your Brand Where People Now Look for Answers

Every day, millions of users rely on Claude and other AI assistants for recommendations, advice, and product research. But unlike traditional search engines, Claude doesn't “rank” pages. It recommends trustworthy, authoritative sources based on your brand's real-world digital footprint.

So, how do you make sure your brand is the one it mentions?

At Hookhaus, we help businesses earn those recommendations by strengthening the signals Claude and similar AI models rely on: authority, credibility, fresh information, and a digital footprint the model can actually trust.

SEO For Perplexity

Become the Brand Perplexity Recommends Your New Customers

Perplexity is one of the fastest-growing AI search assistants, combining conversational queries with trusted web results to give users clear, direct answers. Getting your business mentioned by Perplexity means your brand becomes part of the answers people rely on when they skip Google altogether.

You nor any of your competitors can buy your way into Perplexity's recommendations. You earn it by building a reputation that signals trust, authority, and real value.

At Hookhaus, we help you do exactly that. Our strategies boost your authority, strengthen your reviews, and get your business cited in the answers people actually read.

Our AI SEO Approach

SEO is not dead. The click is no longer the whole game.

People still search Google. A growing share get the answer from an Overview, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity and never open your site. AI SEO is two jobs: use tools to do classic SEO better, and shape pages so those engines can trust and cite you. Local “near me” work still lives on rankings, maps, and ads.

A to Z

Every piece of the AI search job, named.

Same skeleton the big shops use for case studies: a label, a claim, a short story, a next click. Ours are topics, not invented clients.

  • A · AEO

    Be the answer, not just a blue link.

    AEO is structuring pages so ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, and voice assistants can pull a clean, citable answer from you.

    What Is an AI Answer Engine? How AI Search Engines Differ from Traditional Search

    Want to know how your business can stay competitive across AI platforms and Google’s AI Mode/Overviews? Talk to Hookhaus today and discover how we turn AI disruption into SEO opportunity.

    Read Engines
  • C · Content

    Pages a model can trust, parse, and quote.

    Clear headings, current facts, named authors, and structure. Thin keyword paste gets skipped even if you still rank.

    Read Content
  • C · ChatGPT

    Get named when someone asks ChatGPT who to hire.

    ChatGPT with browsing pulls live sources. Clear, current, cited pages and a brand that exists off your own site give it something to recommend.

    Read ChatGPT
  • G · Gemini

    Show up in Google’s own AI answers.

    Gemini and AI Mode sit on Google’s understanding of the web. E-E-A-T, structured pages, and current facts are how you get chosen, not a backroom deal.

    Read Gemini
  • G · GEO

    Be the source the model cites when it writes.

    GEO is getting included inside generated answers on ChatGPT, Google’s generative search, and Perplexity, not only ranking a URL.

    Read GEO
  • L · LLM SEO

    Optimize for the models, not only the SERP.

    LLM SEO is getting surfaced, summarized, or referenced by large language models, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

    Read LLM SEO
  • O · AI Overviews

    Earn a citation in the summary above the links.

    AI Overviews (once SGE) summarize trusted sites before the click. We improve eligibility. We do not sell a switch that forces Google to pick you.

    Read AI Overviews
  • P · Perplexity

    Win the engine that shows its sources.

    Perplexity calls itself an answer engine. It cites. If your page is clear, dated, and factual, you have a shot at the footnote and the click.

What a modern AI SEO plan includes

  1. 01

    Expert pages, not filler

    Original detail on the jobs you sell. Thin regurgitated posts get skipped.

  2. 02

    Structure the machine can read

    Headings, lists, tables, schema. If a model cannot parse it, it will not quote it.

  3. 03

    Topic authority

    A hub plus supporting pages. Scattered blogs do not look like expertise.

  4. 04

    E-E-A-T you can point at

    Bios, reviews, certifications, consistent NAP. Models avoid unnamed mush.

  5. 05

    Facts that are still true

    Dates and numbers get refreshed. Stale 2023 stats fall out of answers.

  6. 06

    Classic SEO underneath

    Speed, crawl, local pages, links. AI SEO is a layer, not a replacement.

What you actually get

  • Keyword split: still classic Google vs likely to trigger AI answers
  • Answer-first rewrites and FAQ blocks (40–60 words, then depth)
  • Schema that matches the page, FAQ, HowTo, Article, Organization
  • Topic hub for the work you sell in Ottawa and across Canada
  • A frozen prompt set checked on ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Overviews
  • Month-to-month. You own the site, Search Console, and the copy.

Who this is for

Canadian service and B2B shops whose buyer now asks a chatbot or reads the Overview before they call. If the leak is really follow-up or a dead homepage, we start there instead.

Often paired with SEO & Local Visibility and Websites & Landing Pages. AI SEO on a slow, empty site is theatre.
