Three seconds decide who gets cited.
Generative answers are assembled from pages that search systems can crawl, understand and trust. Scroll to watch how it works, and where SEO decides the outcome.
- 01
Someone asks
A buyer types a full question into Google, ChatGPT or Perplexity, often with their budget, location and constraints included.
- 02
The engine gathers sources
Systems like Google AI Overviews retrieve pages from their search index. If your page cannot be crawled, indexed or understood, it is not even in the room.
- 03
The answer cites who it trusts
Clear, specific, well-sourced pages from credible brands are the easiest to quote and link. That is the work we do, page by page.
