Neil Aluna
With over 30 years of experience in sales and marketing, Neil Aluna has helped hundreds of local businesses generate more leads, convert more customers, and grow with confidence. From building high-converting websites to managing SEO, Google Ads, Meta campaigns, and CRO strategies—Neil has always been passionate about helping small businesses succeed.
But everything changed in 2022.
When ChatGPT launched, Neil casually asked it:
“How do I fix a leaking tap?”
ChatGPT gave a detailed answer—then followed up with:
“Would you like me to recommend a local plumber?”
Curious, Neil said yes. ChatGPT listed three plumbers.
Not ten. Not a map. Not a list of SEO-optimized blog posts.
Just three businesses.
Surprised, Neil cross-checked the plumbers’ details—and found them accurate.
That moment sparked a realization:
“If AI tools like ChatGPT only suggest 2–3 businesses… what happens to the rest?”
What happens to all the local businesses relying on SEO, blogs, and rankings?
What happens when more and more people ask AI instead of Googling?
Neil saw the writing on the wall:
The future of local lead generation wouldn’t be just SEO—it would be AEO.
Answer Engine Optimization.
Not trying to rank 1st on search engines…
But being understood, verified, and recommended by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude.
Since that moment, Neil has spent the last 2.5 years researching and developing AI visibility strategies specifically for local businesses. He’s become one of the few marketing consultants in Australia dedicated to AEO—teaching businesses how to structure their data, verify their authority, and ensure AI recommends them when a customer asks for help.
Whether you’re a plumber, cleaner, tradie, consultant, or coach—Neil’s mission is clear:
To make sure AI recommends your business first.

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
Make sure AI assistants like ChatGPT, Google AI, and Perplexity choose your business when customers ask for services in your area. We structure your business data, fix visibility gaps, and build query-specific pages so AI tools can finally find, read, and recommend you—over your competitors.
GEO – Optimizing Your Business for AI Overviews
Google’s AI Overviews now decide which 2–3 businesses get recommended. We create GEO-optimized content, citations, and schema that signal authority and trust—helping you appear inside Google’s new AI-generated answers and drive high-intent traffic to your site.
SEO for the AI Era
Traditional SEO still matters—but only when rebuilt for AI search. We optimize your website structure, on-page content, keywords, internal links, and schema so both Google Search and Google AI can understand and rank your business. More organic traffic. Higher conversions. Stronger long-term growth.
