CHATGPT SEO

ChatGPT SEO: How Elevate Media Can Help You Get Noticed by AI

Generative AI isn’t just a buzzword - it’s changing the way people discover brands. Instead of searching Google and sifting through results, audiences are asking tools like ChatGPT for direct answers. If your brand isn’t showing up in those answers, you’re invisible.

At Elevate Media, we’re helping brands in Northern Ireland and beyond adapt to this shift. Here’s what you need to know and how we can help you stay ahead of the curve.

From Search Engines to Answer Engines

Traditional SEO was about ranking on Google. Generative AI has introduced a new game: conversational answers.

  • Google: delivers a list of links.

  • ChatGPT: delivers a direct response, often with no link at all.

The difference? Authority and trust signals matter more than ever.

Why Your Brand Should Care

  • 70% of online users already use AI tools for answers (source: industry reports).

  • Consumers trust AI recommendations the same way they trust reviews.

  • If your competitors are in the AI spotlight and you’re not - you’re losing visibility

  • AI visibility isn’t a nice-to-have anymore. It’s essential.

How Generative Ranking Works

AI models don’t crawl the web like Google. Instead, they pull from:

  • Authoritative content published online.

  • Frequently updated sources.

  • Brands with strong reputations and third-party mentions.

  • Structured, well-formatted data.

That means old-school tricks like keyword stuffing won’t cut it. Authority, context and credibility win.

8 Ways to Optimise for AI Visibility

Here are Elevate Media’s top strategies to help your brand get mentioned by ChatGPT and other AI tools

1. Create Authoritative Content

In-depth, original and trustworthy articles are more likely to be pulled into AI responses.

2. Optimise for Conversational Queries

Think like a user asking questions, not a search engine. Include natural Q&As.

3. Build Topical Clusters

Cover entire topics in depth. Interlink related posts to signal authority.

4. Use Structured Data & Schema

Help AI parse your content correctly by adding FAQ and How To schema.

5. Earn Third‑Party Credibility

Mentions in press, backlinks from strong sites and reviews strengthen trust.

6. Keep Content Fresh

AI tools prefer recent information, regular updates are key.

7. Showcase Unique Insights

Share original data, case studies or industry knowledge that sets you apart.

8. Monitor & Adapt

Track what AI is surfacing in your niche. Adjust your strategy regularly.
