Private Dining in London: Why AI Never Suggests Your Room
Someone types private dining room in London for 20 into ChatGPT. It is one of the most valuable queries in hospitality, and one of the hardest for an engine to answer, because your private-dining details are locked where no model can read them. Here's the fix.

GEO vs AEO vs SEO for Restaurants: What Each One Does
Three acronyms, one dinner booking. SEO ranks your pages, AEO and GEO get your restaurant named inside the AI answer. Here's the difference for a restaurant specifically, and why the work is not either-or.
Read →Opening in a New City? Your Restaurant Starts Invisible on AI
Brand equity is a human thing. When you open in a new city, an AI engine sees a venue it cannot yet place, with no local proof, and it keeps recommending the incumbents. Here's how to close the AI cold start on a new opening.

Every headline number on restaurants and AI search, in one place, with its source, date and market attached. Built to be cited, and honest about what is US data and what is UK.
Read →GEO for Wine Bars: Why Drinks-Led Venues Vanish From AI Search
Almost every GEO guide is written for restaurants that serve food first. Wine bars, cocktail bars and drinks-led venues have a different, harder problem, and no one is writing about it. Here's why you vanish from AI answers and how to show up.

OpenAI and Anthropic Don't Need a Word for GEO. You Do. (2026)
A widely shared post argued that OpenAI and Anthropic don't care about GEO or AEO, so the whole category must be marketing. We sell GEO for a living, and we half agree. The acronyms are marketing. The work, and the way you now measure it, is not. And the job posting used as proof says so.
Read →Why Your Restaurant Group's Venues Cannibalise Each Other on ChatGPT
A single independent has one entity to get right. A group has one brand smeared across many venues, and AI engines routinely name the wrong branch, or none. Here's the multi-venue problem no one is writing about, and how to fix it.
Read →The Star Rating Trap: Why Your 5-Star Restaurant Is Still Invisible on ChatGPT
Restaurants rated 4.8 stars and above were hidden from Google's AI answers more often than solidly good ones. Stars are not the signal you think they are. Here's what the data shows and what actually earns the mention.
Read →Why Your Restaurant Is Invisible on ChatGPT (and Google Won't Warn You)
UK diners are already asking AI where to eat, and Google can soon book the table for them. Here's why most restaurants never get mentioned, and five fixes that close the gap.

AEO vs GEO vs SEO: The Difference, and Which One You Need in 2026
SEO ranks links in classic search. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) optimise to be cited inside the AI-generated answer in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Copilot. AEO and GEO are near-synonyms for the same goal; SEO is a separate, still-necessary discipline that feeds the retrieval pool. The practical answer in 2026 is that you do all three, but you measure AEO/GEO on citation share, not blue-link position, and the winning levers (off-site footprint, entity authority, content shape, freshness) sit mostly off your own site.

AI Search Tool vs Agency vs Agent: Which Do You Actually Need in 2026?
There are three ways to improve your AI search visibility, and they're layers of the same stack, not rivals: a tool (Peec, Profound) measures where you stand; an agency executes the optimisation work with people; an agent — an AI-search agent — does the recurring volume under human review. A tool changes your understanding, not the answer. An agency changes the answer but costs the most and moves at human speed. An agent does the volume at mid-market cost with humans owning quality and strategy. In 2026 most teams keep a tool and add one execution layer — the real decision is which one.

How to Build AI Agents on the Peec AI MCP for AEO and GEO (2026)
In late 2025 Peec AI shipped an official MCP server, which makes its entire AI-search measurement layer — projects, prompts, per-engine brand visibility, full AI answer transcripts, the source/citation graph and scored Actions — directly callable by an LLM agent. That means you can wire a Claude or GPT agent straight to the ground truth of how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and AI Overviews answer your category, and have it reason over the data and draft the work to close the gaps. The defensible build pattern is a read-only, five-stage loop with a human ship gate: the agent triages and drafts; a person verifies and ships.

From Peec or Profound Data to AI Citations: A 5-Step Playbook (2026)
Your Peec or Profound dashboard tells you where you're invisible in AI answers, but a visibility score is an outcome, not an instruction. Turning the data into citations is a five-step job: read the gap reports rather than the vanity metric, turn the cited sources into a third-party target list, fix the pages that are retrieved but not cited, build the off-site footprint the data points to, then re-measure the delta on a cadence. The highest-leverage move is the source/domain gap report — the third-party sites citing your competitors but not you. Most of the work lands off your own domain and has to recur, which is the gap between owning a dashboard and moving its numbers.

You're Tracking AI Search Visibility. Who's Actually Fixing It?
AI search visibility tools tell you where your brand is missing from AI answers. They don't fix it. Here's why the number doesn't move when you only buy the dashboard — and what closing the gap actually takes in 2026.
