What AI search optimization is called and what it means
If you run a solar company and every agency has a different name for showing up in ChatGPT, this is the straight answer.
You already paid for SEO. Now someone says you need generative engine optimization, answer engine optimization, or AI visibility. You run a solar business and you cannot tell if this is a new thing or the same old pitch with a new label.
They all mean the same thing. Being the solar company an AI names when a homeowner asks who to call. Not a list of ten companies. Not a lead form. One name. Yours.
What the job takes depends on your site right now. If your pages talk like a brochure instead of answering questions plain, the work is bigger. If every service and every town you serve has its own page, the work is smaller. No one can quote it blind.
The move this week is an audit that checks whether your pages say what ChatGPT needs to read. If they do not, you add pages or rewrite the ones you have. Forget Leads does that and gives you a log of every AI crawler visit so you see it working.
Afterwards, a homeowner asks their phone who does solar nearby. The phone says your name. No middleman. No shared lead. Just your phone ringing.

Have pages an assistant can cite: one per service, town and question, answer near the top, business name and area on the page, structured data behind it, AI crawlers allowed, and a plain page written for AI assistants linked from the footer. We build all of that and log every AI crawler visit so you can watch it happen.
is seo dead now with ai?
Build for both at once. Pages that answer one question each, plainly, with your business and area stated, rank on Google and get quoted by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI. One of our clients, an insulation and asbestos company, was the first ChatGPT answer for its main service within a month of launching pages like that.
