AI Bot Accessibility and Platform Readiness
We make your website accessible to trusted AI bots like ChatGPT, Perplexity, ClaudeBot, Googlebot for Gemini, and more. By configuring crawl permissions, API mappings, and structured data sources, we make sure your site is safely discoverable and referenceable by AI engines, without losing control of your content or brand attribution.
LLMs.txt and AI.txt Integration for AI Governance
We implement the latest LLMs.txt and AI.txt protocols that guide AI systems on how to read and interpret your website. This allows you to maintain full control over what data is shared with AI tools while ensuring compliant visibility across generative engines like Gemini, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and more.
Advanced Schema Markup for AI Understandings
Our experts build layered schema structures including Local Business, FAQ, Product, and Article markups, that make your content AI-readable and citation-friendly. This structured foundation boosts your presence in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT SEO snippets, and Perplexity search summaries, improving brand trust and visibility.
Transparent AI Performance and Reporting
We track your brand’s AI presence across all major ecosystems with precision. Using Google Analytics 4 (GA4), GTM, and Search Console, our dashboards report AI impressions, entity strength, and brand citations, helping you understand which AI engines are driving real business results.
Conversational Query Research and Content Optimization
Our AI SEO team studies how people phrase questions to ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and other AI platforms, not just keywords, but full natural-language prompts. We use NLP-driven query modeling to craft content that fits how users actually ask AI tools, ensuring your brand becomes the answer instead of just another search result.
Unified SEO Strategy for Cross-Platform Reach
We merge traditional SEO and AI SEO into a single, integrated growth strategy. From link-building and content clusters to AI entity optimization, our cross-engine approach ensures your brand performs consistently, whether users search on Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini.

Let’s make your business the next AI-powered success story.
AI EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness)
AI platforms like ChatGPT and Google’s AI Overviews prioritize brands that demonstrate EEAT. At Dotsquares, we strengthen these signals by building high-quality, expert content, verified author profiles, and credible backlinks.
This approach has helped several Chicago-based businesses achieve up to 48% higher visibility in AI-driven summaries within three months. By improving your authority, AI platforms recognize your brand as a reliable source, giving you lasting placement inside generative search results.
Brand Mentions and Entity Strength
AI models learn to associate credibility with consistent brand mentions and entity references across the web. We boost your entity authority by increasing relevant mentions through PR coverage, industry listings, and contextual backlinks.
Our clients have seen up to a 35% lift in branded queries and 2x more citations in AI-powered overviews after strengthening their entity profiles. With better recognition across digital touch points, your brand becomes more discoverable on AI tools like Perplexity, Google Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, and more.
Local AI SEO and Proximity Optimization
AI search tools increasingly deliver localized answers, showing users nearby options that match intent. We optimize Google Business Profiles, schema, and geo-tagged content to help you rank in AI-generated “near me” responses.
Our local clients in Chicago have reported a 60% increase in calls and direction requests after AI visibility improvements, especially in Google AI Overviews. When your business appears in those local AI answers, it is not just exposure, but traffic that converts.
Schema Markup and Structured Data
Structured data is how AI understands your site. We implement schema markup, context mapping, and FAQ structures that clarify what your business offers. This technical foundation helps AI engines connect your pages with the right user questions.
On average, our clients see a 40–55% improvement in AI impression rates once structured data is optimized. The clearer your content is to AI systems, the more often you will appear in those high-value generative summaries.
GTM and GA4 Tracking for AI Performance
You cannot grow what you cannot measure, which is why we integrate Google Tag Manager (GTM) and GA4 to track performance across both traditional and AI-driven search platforms. Our clients use these insights to identify which AI engines deliver the highest-quality leads and optimize accordingly. Businesses we have supported have achieved up to 30% better conversion tracking and clearer attribution from AI-based traffic sources, turning data into long-term growth strategies.
Our Process
Discovery & Strategy
We begin by understanding your goals, audience, and current online visibility. Using tools like SEMrush AI, Perplexity Insights, and Google Search Console, we analyze how your brand appears across both AI and traditional search. From there, we build a clear roadmap that blends AI SEO (GEO) to position your business effectively in AI-powered results.
AI Content and Brand Optimization
Our team refines your website content so it connects with both users and AI systems. We optimize EEAT signals, schema markup, and entity structure to make sure platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can identify your brand easily. For ecommerce, we align your product data with AI search behavior to boost visibility and conversions.
Local and Entity Signal Enhancement
AI search engines trust brands with strong local and entity relevance. We optimize your Google Business Profile, citations, and contextual data so your brand shows up in localized AI results and answer-based recommendations. This helps you gain credibility and appear as a verified source in AI-powered search tools.
Continuous Optimization and Growth Tracking
AI algorithms evolve constantly, so we track your performance across multiple AI platforms using GA4 and GTM. Our adaptive approach updates your content and targeting based on real-time results, ensuring steady traffic, higher engagement, and long-term visibility across AI-driven search engines.

Frequently Asked Questions
AI SEO means optimizing your website to show up inside AI-powered search tools (like ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, Perplexity), not just in traditional search engine results. It combines technical SEO with methods that AI systems use to understand and cite information.
No. Traditional SEO site speed, backlinks, content structure, still matters. AI SEO builds on that. It adds techniques to help your site be trusted and cited by AI systems. The two work together for stronger visibility.

It depends on your site’s current condition, competition, and content. Many clients start seeing improved AI visibility and traffic in 8 to 12 weeks with consistent optimization. Big gains usually take 6 months or more.
Absolutely. Local AI SEO involves optimizing your business profile, geo-tagged content, proximity signals, and structured data. This helps AI tools surface your business in local “near me” searches and AI-generated responses for people in Chicago.
Schema (structured data) gives AI systems clear signals about your content, what is a product, review, FAQ, etc. This helps AI tools interpret and use your pages as sources for answers. In short: structured data increases your chances of being cited.
We use tools like GA4 and Google Tag Manager (GTM) to monitor AI-driven traffic, conversions, and query sources. That data tells us which AI platforms are sending qualified leads, so we can refine strategies over time.
