# Frontpage AI

Frontpage AI is a Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) studio in the United Kingdom. It builds and manages websites for independent UK service businesses so AI answer engines - ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Claude and Google AI Overviews - can read, trust, cite and recommend them by name.

Frontpage AI is a GEO studio, not a local SEO agency. Traditional SEO is the foundation the work sits on, because an AI engine cannot cite a page a crawler cannot read, but it is not the product. Success is measured on mention rate (how often AI answers name the brand), citation rate (how often they link to the site) and position within the answer, not on keyword rankings alone.

The managed service combines website design, static HTML publishing, GEO, schema.org structured data, answer-ready content, corroboration and authority signals, local search signals, hosting, AI-visibility reporting, ongoing maintenance and feature requests in a single monthly fee.
