Your customers aren't scrolling Google anymore. They're asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — and getting a single answer back. If that answer isn't your business, you're invisible.
London AEO Agency specialises in making London businesses the definitive answer in AI search. We combine Local SEO, AEO, GEO, and Google My Business ranking into one integrated strategy — built specifically for the London market.
Here's what's actually happening in 2026:
60% of UK searches now end without a single click. Your potential customers are getting AI-generated answers at the top of the page — and they never even see your website.
If your London business isn't being cited by Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, or Perplexity, you've already lost that customer to a competitor who is.
The good news? Most London businesses haven't made this shift yet. That means the window to dominate AI search in your niche — before your competitors do — is wide open.
Local SEO in London isn't like anywhere else in the UK. With 33 boroughs, hundreds of postcodes, and millions of competing searches, generic strategies fail here.
We build hyper-local campaigns calibrated to specific London boroughs, postcodes, and neighbourhoods.

Everything you need to know about AEO and local search in 2026.
