AI SEO — Get Cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Mode
Wollongong-based. Serving Sydney.
AI SEO (also known as AI Search Optimisation) is how businesses get found, cited and recommended by the answer engines that now sit between customers and traditional Google results. When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's new AI Mode "who does SEO in Wollongong?" or "best AI SEO agency in Sydney", the AI answers directly — no click required. If your business isn't structured for those engines to read, understand and cite, you're invisible in the fastest-growing corner of search.
Creative Orbit is a specialist AI SEO practice serving Sydney and Illawarra businesses that need to be found by AI, not just ranked on Google. We combine Answer Engine Optimisation, Generative Engine Optimisation, and LLM Optimisation into a single, coherent programme — the AI Visibility Blueprint.

Frequently asked questions
What is AI SEO?
AI SEO is the practice of structuring a website, its content, and its underlying data so that AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Claude and others — can read, understand, and cite the business when answering user questions. Traditional SEO earns rankings on Google's ten blue links. AI SEO earns citations inside AI-generated answers.
Do you work with businesses outside the Illawarra?
Yes. Creative Orbit is Wollongong-based and remote-first, serving Sydney businesses across the metropolitan area. 80km from the Sydney CBD, same time zone, in-person meetings the same day when the work calls for it. Simon has also lived and worked in Melbourne and Brisbane — that lived experience informs how we work with any east-coast Australian business.
How is AI SEO different from regular SEO?
Regular SEO optimises for Google's ranking algorithm — you compete for positions on the search results page. AI SEO optimises for AI answer engines — you compete for citation inside a generated answer. Different technical requirements, different content structure, different measurement. Most businesses need both, delivered as one programme.
When will the full AI SEO service page be available?
