AI answer engine optimisation (AEO)
We build answer-ready pages on your therapist website—clear HTML, structured data and short factual openings for Google, ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity, without citation guarantees.
Answer engines retrieve passages from pages they can fetch. Therapist Website Studio writes who you see, session fees, place and the first enquiry step as crawlable HTML with JSON-LD that matches those sentences—inside the bespoke website at published Managed or outright prices. We do not sell a monthly AEO retainer or promise a specific citation in ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity.
Example bespoke sites
Morrow Lane and Alder Quay show fees and services in plain text on separate routes. Designed examples—not proof of AI citations.

Space to work through what matters
Individual counselling in Manchester, and online across the UK. Anxiety, grief, and what is hard to put into words.

Anxiety
£70
50 minutes
For worry that is taking up the week. We stay with it, rather than rushing you towards a fix.

Grief
£70
50 minutes
For a death, or another loss. There is no date by which you should feel better.

Online sessions
£70
50 minutes
The same counsellor, from your own home, anywhere in the UK.
The first session
A chance to see if this is the right counselling.
We talk about what you want from the work and how often we would meet. You do not need to send a history beforehand. Please give 48 hours if you need to cancel. What you say in the session stays there, except where the law requires otherwise.
One fee, in the room or online

SEO, AI AEO and language models
HTML openings and search crawlers.
Retrieval beats tricks. We write short factual openings for Google AI features, ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity to fetch—without promising which engine cites you.
Google
Search · AI Overviews · Gemini
Google AI Overviews can only use pages Googlebot already indexed with the fee in HTML.
- Googlebot
- Google-Extended
OpenAI
ChatGPT
ChatGPT search retrieval depends on OAI-SearchBot reaching the service URL we publish.
- OAI-SearchBot
- GPTBot
- ChatGPT-User
Anthropic
Claude
Claude-SearchBot reads the credential and fee sentences from the same opening block.

Perplexity
PerplexityBot can follow the enquiry link on the page that states the session price.

Under the surface
FAQ only where the page answers.
This block is on the page because markup must match copy. The sample FAQPage names a fee answer that appears in the service lede.

}The website we deliver
Fetchable facts, not hidden copy
Google’s how Search works documentation describes indexing before AI Overviews or AI Mode can surface a page. We open each service with who you see, the fee, place and next step in HTML—including on mobile—not inside images or script-only widgets.
ChatGPT search uses OpenAI crawlers distinct from training bots; we write the passage a citation could point at and leave search retrieval technically possible—we do not guarantee which answer an engine chooses.
| Fact | Where we put it |
|---|---|
| Session fee | First screen of the service page in text |
| Who you see | Opening paragraph under the service name |
| Online or in-room | Same words in copy and areaServed when local applies |
| How to enquire | Visible link or address on that service URL |
Structured data aligned with the visible page
Service, Offer and FAQ markup follow Google’s structured data policies only where the HTML already states the answer—fees, session length, online scope—not boilerplate that does not appear on the page.
Google documents people-first content and generative AI on sites; our copy is written for the person reading the page, which is the same text retrieval systems quote when they choose to.
Search crawlers versus training crawlers
Googlebot feeds Search; Google-Extended is a separate control for Gemini training—not the switch for whether your public pages can be retrieved for answers. We configure robots for the studio stack and publish facts in HTML either way.
Blocking search crawlers would keep pages out of AI search products that depend on fetch. We default to leaving search bots open and writing accurate on-page facts; you still cannot buy a promise that Perplexity or Claude will cite you.
Shipped with the bespoke build
Answer-ready structure is included in Standard Managed (£149, £49/month) and Growth Managed when multiple services each need their own factual opening. Outright £650 or £995 builds carry the same layer. Prices include VAT.
Technical crawl tuning and local town work have dedicated routes—technical SEO and local SEO—when the brief goes beyond factual service pages.

See what is includedQuestions
- Will ChatGPT always mention my practice?
- No. We make fees and services fetchable and clearly written; answer engines decide what to cite and can change without notice.
- Is AEO a separate monthly product?
- It is part of how we build the site. Website Care (£39 or £49) is hosting and edits—not an AI citation campaign.
- Do you block AI crawlers?
- We set robots for the studio hosting stack and document which crawlers are for search versus training. Blocking search crawlers would undermine retrieval; we do not sell blocking as a product.
