AEO & GEO agency: get recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI
FlyRank is a Manchester agency for answer engine optimisation (AEO) and generative engine optimisation (GEO). We help UK businesses get found, cited and recommended when customers ask AI for an answer.
- Manchester-based, working UK-wide
- Led by the two founders
- No guaranteed citations, ever
Your customers now ask AI before they search
More buying questions start with an assistant: “Who is the best accountant for a small building firm?” The assistant reads several sources and writes one answer, usually naming a few businesses. If yours is not among them, the customer may never see your website.
AEO structures your content and entity signals so answer engines can extract and quote you. GEO improves how generative AI describes, cites and recommends your brand across the web. We treat them as one service.
What answer engine optimisation is, in plain EnglishHow AEO & GEO work
Five stages, each ending with something you can review.
Audit your AI visibility
We run the questions your customers ask across the main assistants and record where you appear, and where competitors appear instead.
Fix entity and site foundations
We make your name, services and location consistent everywhere, and check AI crawlers can reach your key pages.
Publish answer-first content
Pages open with the direct answer, so a passage still makes sense when an assistant lifts it out.
Earn corroborating mentions
AI systems weigh what other sources say about you. We pursue genuine coverage on trade sites, directories and partners.
Track and improve
We re-run the prompts on a schedule and watch AI referral traffic. AI answers vary, so we read results as trends, not certainties.

Why businesses choose FlyRank
- Led by the founders
- You deal with the people who set the strategy, not a rotating account team.
- One team for AI search, site and content
- AEO, SEO, design and writing are planned together, so nothing competes with itself.
- Honest about measurement
- AI answers change by user, place and time. We track prompts and referral traffic, and say plainly that this is an approximation.
- Built on SEO that works
- Assistants draw on the open web. Crawlable, well-structured pages are where citation starts.
- No guarantees we cannot keep
- Nobody controls what ChatGPT or Google says. We promise careful work and clear reporting, not citations.
- A person checks every page
- AI speeds up drafting. A human edits and fact-checks everything we publish.

AEO, GEO and SEO across Greater Manchester
FlyRank is based in Manchester and works with businesses across the region: Manchester city centre, Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Oldham, Bolton, Bury, Rochdale, Tameside, Wigan and the Cheshire East edge. Our AEO & GEO, SEO, web design and content services are available to all of them, and to clients elsewhere in the UK.
Many local businesses trade from Spinningfields, the Northern Quarter and Ancoats, and we also work with media and creative firms at MediaCityUK in Salford.
Local knowledge matters for AI answers. Prompts such as “best electrician near Stockport” are answered from listings, reviews and website content, so we check your Google Business Profile, service-area wording and local references as part of the work.
Most projects run by video call, and we meet in person in Manchester when it is useful.
