Generative Search Optimisation (GSO): Future-Proof Your Visibility in the AI Era

AI SEO

GSO 1

The Rise of AI Search and the Need for Generative Search Optimisation (GSO)

Search has changed forever. For over a decade, businesses focused on ranking in Google, Bing, and Yahoo to drive traffic and growth. But now, with the rapid rise of AI-powered search platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude, the way people discover information and providers has fundamentally shifted.

At Nexa Cognition, we call this new reality Generative Search Optimisation (GSO). As a leading AI SEO agency in London, we help ambitious UK businesses adapt their websites and content for the future of search—where visibility in AI-driven answers matters as much as, if not more than, traditional rankings.

Why Traditional SEO Alone Is No Longer Enough

Two major trends are reshaping digital search:

  1. Organic traffic from Google is declining—fast.
    Search engines are increasingly placing AI-generated summaries, answer boxes, and zero-click results at the top of the page. Users get their answers instantly—without needing to click through to your website.

  2. Conversational search is on the rise.
    People are asking AI assistants questions in natural, conversational language. Platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity don’t just show a list of links—they provide curated, trusted answers.

For businesses, this means relying solely on traditional SEO is no longer sustainable. Without adapting, you risk disappearing from the places where customers now look for answers.

GSO3

What Is Generative Search Optimisation (GSO)?

Generative Search Optimisation is the process of optimising your brand, website, and content so that AI-powered search platforms recognise, reference, and recommend you.

Where SEO focuses on ranking in search engines, GSO focuses on visibility in conversational AI results.

When a potential customer asks ChatGPT:

“Who are the best schools in London?”

GSO ensures your brand is part of the answer.

SEO vs GSO: What’s the Difference?

Traditional SEO

Generative Search Optimisation (GSO)

Focuses on ranking in Google & Bing

Focuses on visibility in AI platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude)

Keyword-driven optimisation

Conversational, intent-driven optimisation

Measures clicks & traffic

Measures inclusion in AI answers & lead generation

Competes for page-one rankings

Positions brand as a trusted entity AI refers to

Reactive to algorithm updates

Proactive, adapting to AI’s evolving learning models

The future isn’t SEO vs GSO—it’s SEO and GSO. The most resilient businesses optimise for both.
GSO5

Why GSO Matters for UK Businesses

The UK is one of the most digitally competitive markets in the world. Ignoring GSO means:

  • Losing visibility in AI-generated answers.

  • Declining organic traffic from traditional search.

  • Missed opportunities with high-intent, AI-first customers.

By adopting AI SEO services now, UK businesses can:

  • Secure a first-mover advantage in generative search.

  • Build trust and authority as AI platforms recommend them.

Create a sustainable growth engine in a shifting digital landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions About GSO and AI Search

More Questions?

Email us now and one of our training professionals with be glad to help.

What is Generative Search Optimisation (GSO)?

Generative Search Optimisation (GSO) is the process of optimising your website, content, and brand so that AI-powered platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity recognise, reference, and recommend you in conversational search results.

How is GSO different from traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO focuses on ranking in Google and Bing through keywords and backlinks. GSO focuses on ensuring visibility within AI-driven answers, where conversational intent, entity recognition, and content structure are prioritised.

Why is organic traffic from Google declining?

Search engines increasingly display AI summaries, answer boxes, and zero-click results at the top of search pages. This means users often get their answers without clicking through to websites, reducing organic traffic.

Why do businesses need AI SEO services?

AI SEO services ensure your business is visible in the platforms customers now trust most—AI assistants and conversational search engines. Without AI SEO, brands risk being excluded from AI-generated answers that shape buying decisions.

Whether you’re looking to target local customers or expand your reach across the city, our SEO strategies are designed to boost your visibility, drive targeted traffic, and help your business stand out in a crowded marketplace.

How does Nexa Cognition help with GSO?

As a HubSpot Elite Partner and AI SEO agency in London, Nexa Cognition helps UK businesses future-proof their visibility by optimising for both search engines and AI platforms. We combine technical SEO, entity optimisation, and AI-focused strategies to secure inclusion in AI answers.

Can GSO improve lead generation?

Yes. GSO helps position your business as a trusted answer in AI-driven search results. This visibility generates highly qualified leads because users engaging with AI assistants often have strong intent to act.

Which AI search platforms should UK businesses focus on?

The key platforms shaping the future of search include ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google’s AI Overviews. Optimising for these ensures your brand is discoverable wherever customers are asking questions.

Is GSO only for large enterprises?

No. GSO is critical for SMEs and local businesses as well. Early adoption provides a competitive advantage, as most companies have yet to optimise for AI-first search.

What industries benefit most from Generative Search Optimisation?

Any industry where customers rely on online research benefits from GSO—including technology, education, healthcare, finance, and professional services.

How soon should businesses invest in GSO?

Now. AI search adoption is accelerating, and early movers will dominate visibility in this new landscape. Waiting means competitors may capture key AI search presence before you.

How do you handle technical SEO audits and fixes?

At Nexa Cognition, we conduct comprehensive technical SEO audits to identify and resolve any issues that may be hindering your website’s performance. Our process involves a detailed analysis of your site’s architecture, page speed, mobile responsiveness, crawlability, and indexing.

We use advanced tools to assess elements such as broken links, duplicate content, site structure, and more. Once we’ve identified the issues, our team implements targeted fixes to ensure your website meets the technical standards required by search engines, ultimately improving your site’s visibility and user experience.

Our goal is to ensure that your website is not only optimised for search engines but also provides an excellent experience for users, driving both better rankings and higher conversion rates.

How long does it take to see SEO results in the UK market?

SEO is a long-term strategy, and while results vary depending on factors like competition and the current state of your website, most businesses start to see noticeable improvements in rankings within 3 to 6 months.

The time it takes to see tangible results depends on various factors, including the complexity of your industry, the effectiveness of the strategies we implement, and how competitive your target keywords are. For highly competitive markets, it may take longer to see significant changes.

At Nexa Cognition, we provide regular updates and insights, so you can track your progress. While SEO requires patience, the long-term benefits, including sustained organic traffic and higher conversion rates, make it a valuable investment for your business.

How do you track and report SEO performance?

At Nexa Cognition, we use a range of advanced tools to track and measure the performance of your SEO campaign. We focus on key metrics such as organic traffic, keyword rankings, backlink quality, and conversion rates to assess the effectiveness of our strategies.

We provide detailed, transparent reports that highlight both the progress made and areas for improvement. These reports include insights into your site’s rankings, traffic trends, and other important performance indicators, so you can see how your investment is delivering results.

Additionally, we regularly review and adjust strategies based on the data, ensuring continuous improvement and long-term success. Our aim is to keep you fully informed and confident in the results of your SEO efforts.

Will I get access to dashboards or monthly reports?

Yes, at Nexa Cognition, we provide full transparency into your SEO campaign’s performance. You will have access to detailed monthly reports that outline key metrics, progress, and insights into your website’s performance. These reports include data on rankings, traffic, conversions, and more.

In addition, we can provide access to real-time dashboards, so you can track your SEO performance at any time. We ensure that you're always informed about the impact of our strategies and how they’re driving results for your business.

What KPIs do you use to measure SEO success?

At Nexa Cognition, we measure SEO success using a range of key performance indicators (KPIs) that align with your business goals. Key KPIs we track include:

  • Organic Traffic: The amount of visitors coming to your site through organic search results.

  • Keyword Rankings: Tracking your website’s rankings for targeted keywords to ensure improvements in visibility.

  • Conversion Rates: The percentage of visitors who take a desired action, such as making a purchase or filling out a contact form.

  • Backlink Quality and Quantity: Assessing the authority and relevance of links pointing to your site.

  • Bounce Rate and Dwell Time: Understanding how users interact with your content and whether they engage with your website.

By monitoring these KPIs, we can ensure that our SEO strategies are driving the right kind of traffic and delivering measurable results that contribute to your business growth.

It's been a great experience to partner with Nexa Cognition on implementing smarter ways of working with HubSpot.

Following it, the support on a day-to-day basis has been fantastic, so many learnings and tips on how to make the most of the platform. They're real experts and the positive attitude makes the whole difference.

Martins dos Santos

We had a one-on-one training session with Nexa Cognition focused on improving our data quality and record management. Monica was fantastic from start to finish and the session was tailored to our needs. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and gave us best practices and industry tips. The follow-up support was also invaluable, helping us to problem solve queries in the system.

Nexa Cognition has been really good at understanding our needs and the specificities of our audience and sales process. They helped in the whole sales and marketing journey from the website design, the CRM implementation, the digi- tal Marketing to the lead nurturing. They made the HubSpot user experience easier and fluid.

Kadiri, L

Nexa Cognition has supported the growth of Pure Minds Academy since 2016, which is when they convinced us that the commercial foundations of our business should be built using HubSpot. Not only has every iteration of our website been on this platform but today we use the full marketing, sales and customer service features as well. The team at Nexa Cognition has also trained us so that day to day website management (including the creation of new pages), landing pages, email marketing, campaigns and even social media posts and publishing are managed by our small team. All in all, from branding to genuine business growth, the team and I can't recommend Nexa Cognition highly enough

C,A.

Their proficiency in HubSpot CRM set-up and migration is unparalleled, and their unwavering commitment to excellence has made them stand out as one of the best agencies I've ever collaborated with. From the very beginning, Nexa Cognition displayed an unmatched level of attentiveness and dedication. Despite the complexity of the task, Nexa Cognition tackled it with finesse and professionalism, assuring us that we were in capable hands. 

EL Shabrowy

Nexa Cognition completely rebuilt our approach to sales through utilising HubSpot and its features limited to our currently license. They understood clearly our pain points and requirements and delivered a solution which will help us grow as an organisation now for the foreseeable. Shout out to Gary, Sam, Aman & Heena for their great professionalism and support!

Walker, M.

The team at Nexa Cognition have been an excellent partner to our business, starting by the re-branding and launch of our new website. We now work with them to grow our footprint and brand in the market, with a variety of approaches. They are a creative and dedicated team, who are great to work with. Their knowledge of HubSpot has been extremely valuable to us getting the most out of the software to help our business achieve its goals.
