AI SEO at Rheinwunder

Your website as a source for AI answers

AI SEO is the part of GEO that takes place on your own website. The goal is for Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT and Perplexity to find your pages, understand them and link to them as a source. This requires solid SEO, clearly worded content and technology that does not slow crawlers down.

Content that gets cited

AI systems can pick up short, unambiguous statements with figures, examples and evidence more easily. We structure your most important pages so that the key message comes first and every question gets a clear answer.

Technology without obstacles

Content that only loads via JavaScript, sits in PDFs or appears far down very large pages often does not reach crawlers. We check rendering, page size, robots.txt and redirects.

Unambiguous facts

Contradictory figures on different pages lead to wrong AI answers. We ensure consistent information and add structured data that helps Google classify your company correctly.

How we approach AI SEO

From findings to a citable page

The starting point is a GEO audit or an SEO analysis. From this, we select the pages that could serve as a source for your most important questions.

Understanding search intent

Which questions do your customers ask, and what does Google show for them today: an AI Overview, a featured snippet or classic results?

Selecting pages

We focus on pages with business value: services, products, guides and comparisons. Not every page needs to be optimised for AI.

Revising content

Key message first, clear subheadings, figures and evidence, answers to follow-up questions. We expand your existing texts rather than replacing them with AI-generated copy.

Checking the technology

Rendering, page size, loading time, internal linking, redirects and crawler access. For Google, it matters that, according to its documentation, Googlebot only fetches the first 2 MB (uncompressed) of an HTML file and considers only that part for indexing.

Making facts consistent

We align details such as prices, locations, opening hours and key figures across all pages and move important information out of PDFs onto HTML pages.

Measuring impact

We track rankings, clicks and impressions in Search Console as well as mentions and sources in AI monitoring.

AI Overviews are changing clicks

Why Rheinwunder for AI SEO

SEO experience, technology and data from one team

Two men talk in front of a computer screen showing charts.

SEO as the foundation

Google builds AI Overviews and AI Mode on its own search, so good rankings are the foundation. Our SEO team has worked with exactly these fundamentals since 2005.

Our own engineering team

We solve rendering problems, page sizes, log files and tracking with our own developers, not with standard reports.

Data rather than gut feeling

We work with Search Console, log files and prompt measurements and show you what actually changes.

An honest assessment

We tell you what is proven and what is not. We do not recommend measures without measurable benefit, such as Markdown copies for bots.

AI SEO in practice

Typical findings from our projects

Pages that are too large (September 2026): on a portal with more than 2,300 location pages, the pages for large cities were several megabytes in size, and on one of them there was no visible content in the first 2 MB. Half of the 20 largest pages were not indexed, several of them “crawled, currently not indexed”. Small pages with very little text were missing too. A page that is not in the index cannot appear in any AI Overview.

Facts only in PDFs (September 2026): at a large organisation, amounts and rules were only available in PDF documents or in the customer portal. AI systems sometimes reproduced these figures incorrectly. A well-structured HTML page with the key facts is the first step here.

Contradictions on the organisation’s own website: the same deadline or membership figure was stated differently on different pages. AI systems may then pick up the wrong value. Consistent information is the prerequisite for them to find the right one.

SEO and AI SEO

What changes and what stays the same

According to Google, the same fundamentals apply to AI Overviews and AI Mode as to regular search: the page must be indexed and eligible to be shown in search with a snippet. There are no additional technical requirements. What is new is that Google breaks a question down into many sub-searches (query fan-out) and combines passages from different pages.

As a result, pages that answer a question completely and in a clearly structured way have a better chance of appearing as a source. However, Google counts clicks from AI Overviews and AI Mode as normal organic traffic. We therefore assess the impact through rankings, clicks, samples of AI answers and AI monitoring.

Frequently asked questions about AI SEO

AI SEO FAQs

The key facts about AI SEO, AI Overviews and AI Mode.

What is the difference between AI SEO and GEO?

GEO covers all measures for more visibility in AI answers, including work beyond your website such as mentions in trade media or on review portals. AI SEO is the part that concerns your own website: content, technology and structured data.

Can you optimise specifically for Google AI Overviews?

Only indirectly. Google selects the sources itself; there is no separate registration or markup. Good rankings, clear answers to specific questions and clean technology increase the chances of appearing as a source.

Does structured data help with ChatGPT?

Its effect is proven mainly for Google. Whether ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini evaluate structured data has not been confirmed. Consistent information in the visible text is therefore at least as important.

Will we lose clicks because of AI Overviews?

Often, yes. In a Pew Research Center study (US, 2025), users clicked a traditional result in 8% of searches with an AI summary, compared with 15% without one. That makes it all the more important to be named as a source in the AI Overview, if only for brand awareness, and to offer pages that go beyond the short answer, such as comparisons, calculators or advice.

Will you rewrite our texts with AI?

No. We expand your existing content and add facts, examples and evidence. In our experience, AI-generated text at scale brings no advantage and can damage your credibility.

How do you measure AI SEO success?

Through rankings, clicks and impressions in Search Console, samples of AI Overviews and mentions and sources in AI monitoring. Google does not report clicks from AI Overviews separately.
