SEO services in Malta, for search and AI assistantsYour customers are already asking AI.Is AI recommending you?
AI visibility is being findable on all three surfaces discovery now runs on: classic search results, answer boxes that quote a source, and generative assistants that cite one. Each rewards different signals, and a page built only for the first is invisible on the other two.
How does a business become visible to AI assistants?
A business becomes visible to AI assistants when its pages can be read, quoted and attributed: server-rendered HTML a crawler can parse, short self-contained answers placed under the question they answer, and consistent entity signals. Technical fixes can register within days of a recrawl; citation gains usually show across two to three months.
Discovery now runs on three surfaces: classic search results, answer boxes that quote a source, and generative assistants that cite one. SEO earns a position in a list, AEO earns the quoted paragraph, and GEO earns a citation inside an assistant's reply. A page built only for the first is invisible on the other two.
The work runs in order: an audit of what engines can read today, then architecture and structured data, then answer-first pages with the short version at the top and the depth underneath. Content on a page an engine cannot parse is wasted, which is why structure comes before writing.
Each month we review what got cited and what got asked, and that feeds the next month's writing. Engines need to see the pattern repeat before they treat a site as a reliable source for a topic.
This page answers:
- Why is my business not showing up on Google?
- How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT?
- What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?
Why it matters
A ranked result is one of ten. An answer is one name. Both are decided by what an engine can read on your pages.
Three surfaces, one page
Search results, answer boxes and generative assistants reward different signals. A page built only for the first is invisible on the other two.
Citation is the new position
An assistant lifts a passage and names its source. If the passage is not liftable, a competitor who ranks below you gets the mention.
Entities, not keywords
Models resolve businesses. If your name, site and profiles look like three organisations, none of them accumulates authority.
What this actually involves
Most sites fail on one of three things: an engine cannot read the page, cannot find a quotable answer on it, or cannot tell which business the page belongs to. The work is fixing whichever applies, in that order.
Being readable
Server-rendered HTML, sensible heading order, and content that exists in the markup rather than arriving after a JavaScript fetch. This sounds like a low bar. A surprising number of otherwise good sites fail it, because their text is assembled in the browser.
Being quotable
An answer engine lifts a passage. A passage it can lift is short, complete on its own, and positioned where it can be found — directly under the question it answers, not four paragraphs into a narrative.
Being identifiable
One consistent business name, structured data that states what you are and where, and links to the profiles that corroborate it. Models resolve entities. If “Drasyo”, “Drasyo Ltd” and “drasyo.com” look like three organisations, none of them accumulate authority.
SEO in Malta
Malta is roughly 27 kilometres end to end, so for most services every competitor sits inside the radius that decides a local ranking elsewhere. Proximity stops sorting the results, and the signals you control carry the weight: the narrowest Google Business Profile category that is still true, one name, address and phone number everywhere they appear, and service pages that say plainly where you work.
That is where local work starts, before any new content is written. The longer version is in local search when your whole market is one island.

SEO and AI visibility case studies
SEO Services in Malta: SEO, AEO & GEO FAQs
SEO, AEO and GEO questionsThe ones we get asked.
Why is my business not showing up on Google?
Usually one of three things: the pages cannot be read or indexed, the Google Business Profile is unverified or in the wrong category, or no page answers what people actually search. An SEO audit checks all three, starting with what search engines and AI crawlers can read today.
How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT?
There is no paid placement in ChatGPT's answers. Assistants draw on what they can read and trust: your website, your Google Business Profile, reviews and mentions elsewhere. Make your pages answer real questions plainly, keep one consistent name, address and phone number, and let AI crawlers read the site.
What is the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?
SEO earns a position in a list of results. AEO earns the quoted paragraph in an answer box. GEO earns a citation inside a generative assistant's reply. They share foundations, crawlable HTML and clear structure, but SEO favours authority, AEO short self-contained answers, and GEO parseable text and clear entity signals.
How long does SEO take to work?
Technical fixes register once search engines recrawl the site. Rankings and AI citations build more slowly, because engines need to see a pattern repeat before they treat you as a reliable source. Anyone who promises a date for page one is guessing; we report monthly on what moved.
Is SEO dead because of AI?
No. AI Overviews and assistants still draw on pages search engines can crawl and trust, and Google states there are no extra requirements to appear in AI Overviews beyond normal indexing. What changed is the shape: pages now also need short answers an assistant can quote whole.
How do I get my business to show up on Google Maps?
Through your Google Business Profile: the narrowest true category, the same name, address and phone number everywhere, and reviews that keep arriving. In Malta distance barely separates competitors, so we focus local SEO on those signals and on pages that state plainly where you work.
