Search has changed. Your strategy needs to catch up.

Your buyers are not just typing into Google anymore. They are asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews for recommendations, comparisons, and answers. The businesses that appear in those answers are the ones that built the right content and technical infrastructure. North Star builds AI SEO campaigns that make your business visible across every surface your buyers use to find answers.

Google search rankings

Technical SEO, on-page optimisation, content strategy, and link building to rank for the keywords your buyers use. The foundation everything else builds on.

AI answer citations

AEO and GEO strategy to get your business cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. We structure content and entities so AI tools recognise and reference you.

Tracked across both channels

We report on keyword rankings and organic traffic alongside AI visibility: which prompts cite you, which tools reference you, and how that changes month over month.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is AI SEO and how is it different from traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO focuses on ranking in Google's blue-link results through technical optimisation, content, and link building. AI SEO extends that to how AI tools answer questions. When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews about your category, we want your business cited. That requires a different content architecture, entity structure, and citation strategy built on top of solid SEO fundamentals. North Star builds and runs both together.

What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?

AEO is the practice of structuring content so that search engines and AI tools select it as the direct answer to a question. This means winning featured snippets, People Also Ask placements, and AI-generated response citations. It involves FAQ schema, clear question-answer formatting, and concise, authoritative writing that AI systems can extract and attribute.

What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?

GEO is the practice of getting your business cited in AI-generated answers. When Perplexity, ChatGPT, or Google AI Overviews synthesise a response, they pull from sources they trust. GEO involves building that trust: publishing citation-worthy content, establishing clear entity signals, and building topical authority so AI systems reference your business by name.

When do results start appearing?

You will typically see movement in rankings and impressions within 3 to 4 months. Meaningful traffic and lead growth compounds from month 6 onward. AI visibility in Perplexity, AI Overviews, and similar surfaces tends to appear earlier for informational and comparison searches, often within the first few months of a content push.

Do your plans include link building costs?

Yes. We allocate 15% of each plan's monthly cost to link acquisition. This covers outreach-based editorial links and relevant placements. Paid digital PR links on the Advanced plan are budgeted separately and agreed in advance. We do not use low-quality directories or link farms.

What is the difference between Starter and Pro?

Starter covers the core SEO fundamentals: technical audit, 10 keywords, on-page optimisation, and basic link building. It suits businesses with a clean site that need steady organic growth. Pro adds AI search visibility tracking, competitor gap analysis across 6 competitors, a topic authority map, and active digital PR. It is the right choice for businesses actively competing for AI-cited results and a broader keyword moat.

Do you work with businesses outside Atlanta?

Yes. North Star is based in Atlanta, GA, and works with clients across the US and internationally, including the UAE, UK, Australia, and Canada. All SEO and AI search strategy work is delivered remotely.

How is progress tracked and reported?

We report monthly on organic sessions, keyword rankings, conversion metrics, and AI visibility. Pro and Advanced plans include AI citation and referral reporting, tracking how often and where your site appears in AI-generated answers. Each plan includes a strategy session to review performance and adjust priorities.
