I asked ChatGPT for recommendations in my industry and my competitor showed up — not me.
AI models cite businesses with structured data, topical authority, and entity clarity. If you have none of those, you are invisible to AI search.
AI SEO Makati · Senior AI search consultant
AI SEO in Makati that gets your business cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.
Google is no longer the only place your customers search. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini are answering the questions your Makati customers used to type into a search bar — and if your business is not in those answers, your competitor is. I fix that with hands-on AI search optimization, not agency guesswork.

Sound familiar?
Four things Makati business owners are starting to notice.
AI search is not coming — it is already here. If any of these resonate, your business is already losing visibility in the fastest-growing search channel.
My Google rankings are fine but my leads have been slowly declining.
AI tools are siphoning search traffic before users ever reach Google. If your content is not being cited by AI, you are losing a growing share of your funnel.
I have no idea how AI tools see my business or if they even know I exist.
Most Makati businesses have never audited their AI visibility. The first step is understanding what AI models currently say about you — and it is often nothing.
My SEO agency says they handle AI — but they cannot show me a single AI citation.
Most agencies bolt "AI SEO" onto their pitch deck without changing their process. If they cannot show you verifiable AI citations, they are not doing AI SEO.
AI SEO Makati in plain language
Think of AI search as the concierge desk at a Makati five-star hotel.
When a guest asks the concierge "where should I eat tonight?", the concierge does not hand them a list of every restaurant in Salcedo Village. They recommend two or three — the ones they trust, the ones they know, the ones that have earned that recommendation through reputation and visibility.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini work the same way. When someone asks "best [your service] in Makati", the AI does not return ten blue links. It gives one or two direct answers. AI SEO is the work that makes your business the one the AI recommends — through structured data, entity authority, topical depth, and content AI models can parse and trust.
The businesses that get this right today will own AI search for years. The ones that wait will pay to catch up.

What is included
Six things every AI SEO Makati engagement covers.
No tiered upsells. Every engagement gets the full stack of AI search optimisation.
1
AI visibility audit
I test what ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot currently say about your business across dozens of relevant prompts. Most Makati businesses discover they are completely absent from AI-generated answers.
2
Entity and knowledge-graph optimisation
Structured data, schema markup, and entity signals that help AI models understand who you are, what you do, and where you operate in Makati. This is the foundation AI citation is built on.
3
Content engineered for AI citation
Content structured so AI models can extract, attribute, and cite your business. This means clear entity references, FAQ markup, definitive statements, and topical authority that AI tools rely on.
4
Source authority building
AI models weight sources by perceived authority. I build the backlink profile, brand mentions, and cross-platform presence that make AI tools treat your Makati business as a trustworthy citation source. Pair this with Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) for maximum impact.
5
Multi-model monitoring
Ongoing tracking of how your business appears across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot — not just Google. AI answers change as models update, and continuous monitoring catches regressions early.
6
Integrated Google SEO
AI SEO does not replace Google SEO — it amplifies it. Every engagement includes the technical, on-page, and authority work that keeps your Google rankings strong while building your AI search presence.
Why now
Makati's professional market is already searching with AI.
Makati is the financial capital of the Philippines. The professionals working in the Ayala CBD, the startup founders in Salcedo Village, the BPO managers along Buendia — these are early adopters. They are already using ChatGPT and Perplexity to research vendors, compare services, and make buying decisions. If your business is not in those AI-generated answers, you are invisible to the most valuable segment of the Makati market.
AI search adoption is accelerating faster than mobile search did a decade ago. The businesses that build AI visibility now will be the default recommendations for years. The businesses that wait will face the same uphill climb that brands face today when they ignored SEO in 2015. The window to establish AI search authority in Makati is open now — it will not stay open forever. For more on what Google values, see Schema.org.
I also serve businesses in Pasig and Manila, bringing the same senior-level AI SEO approach to every engagement across Metro Manila.

FAQ
Real questions Makati business owners ask about AI SEO.
What is AI SEO and how is it different from regular SEO?
AI SEO optimises your content so that AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini cite your business when users ask questions related to your industry. Traditional SEO focuses on Google's ranked results. AI SEO focuses on being the trusted source that language models pull from when generating answers. Both matter — AI SEO is an additional layer, not a replacement for regular SEO.
Can AI SEO help my Makati business get mentioned by ChatGPT?
Yes. ChatGPT and other LLMs pull from web content, structured data, and authoritative sources. AI SEO ensures your Makati business has the entity signals, schema markup, and content depth that make AI models treat you as a credible source worth citing. Most Makati businesses are invisible to AI search because their content was never structured for machine understanding.
How long does AI SEO take to show results?
AI model training data updates on different cycles — some tools pull near-real-time, others lag by weeks or months. Perplexity and Gemini with grounding tend to reflect changes faster because they crawl the live web. ChatGPT's training data updates less frequently but its browsing mode is real-time. Expect initial AI visibility improvements within 4–12 weeks for grounded models, and 3–6 months for training-data inclusion.
Is AI SEO worth it for a small Makati business?
If your customers are the type who ask ChatGPT or Perplexity for recommendations — and in Makati's professional, tech-forward market, many are — then yes. AI search is growing faster than any channel since mobile. The Makati businesses that build AI visibility now will be the default recommendations when the majority of searches shift to conversational AI.
Do I need regular SEO before doing AI SEO?
A solid SEO foundation makes AI SEO far more effective because AI models use many of the same signals — structured data, topical authority, content quality, and backlink credibility. If your site has major technical issues, fixing those first multiplies the impact of every AI SEO initiative. I always assess both together and recommend the right sequencing for your situation. See my case studies for examples of real client results.
