The search landscape is evolving at breakneck speed. The Global AI Search Engines Market is expected to be valued at AUD 66.5 billion in 2025 and reach AUD 166 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14%. Meanwhile, AI Overviews are on the rise: 13.14% of all queries triggered AI Overviews in March 2025. That's up from 6.49% in January 2025.
Businesses cannot afford to ignore this shift. Traditional SEO tactics that worked last year may now actively harm your rankings as Google's AI updates continue rolling out monthly. When your competitors are already leveraging AI-powered search optimisation, standing still means falling behind.
At Pitch Black, we've developed Australia's most comprehensive AI SEO approach. We combine cutting-edge artificial intelligence with battle-tested search expertise to create strategies that deliver the right visitors, convert them into paying customers, and build sustainable growth. Here's precisely what sets us apart from every other agency in Western Australia.
AI SEO optimisation Across All Major Platforms
We work directly with the complete ecosystem of AI search engines that your customers actually use. Unlike agencies that focus solely on traditional Google SEO, we recognise that modern consumers are increasingly turning to AI-powered platforms for their search needs. These platforms operate fundamentally differently from conventional search engines. They provide direct answers, recommendations, and comprehensive responses that can make or break your business visibility.
Each AI search platform has unique algorithms, ranking factors, and response patterns. What gets your business mentioned in a ChatGPT response differs significantly from what triggers visibility in Perplexity AI or Bing Copilot. We've invested extensive resources in understanding these nuances, conducting systematic analysis of how each platform evaluates, selects, and presents business information to users.
Our approach goes beyond basic optimisation—we study user interaction patterns, analyse response quality metrics, and continuously test how different content structures, schema markup, and authority signals influence your business's likelihood of being featured across these diverse AI ecosystems:
Major AI Platforms We Optimise For:
- Google AI Overviews - Now appearing in over 13% of all searches
- ChatGPT SearchGPT - OpenAI's search functionality with real-time web access
- Microsoft Bing Copilot - Integrated AI responses within Bing search results
- Perplexity AI - The fastest-growing AI answer engine
- Claude Search - Anthropic's AI assistant with web search capabilities
- Google Bard/Gemini - Google's conversational AI search interface
- Grok - X's AI search assistant
Our approach focuses on understanding how these systems recommend businesses and getting your company mentioned in AI conversations. We analyse response patterns across platforms, then optimise your online presence to appear prominently when potential customers ask AI assistants for recommendations in your industry.
The difference? We'll show you exactly how this positioning works and demonstrate why it outperforms traditional SEO methods. You'll never wonder whether the AI strategy actually helps your business because we make the results crystal clear through detailed reporting.
How Do You Know If Your Business Is Visible to AI Search Engines?
Advanced AI Visibility and Keyword Tracking
Unlike traditional agencies that only monitor Google rankings, we've developed custom built-in-house visibility tracking systems specifically designed for AI engines. Think of it as keyword tracking, but engineered for the AI search landscape. Our comprehensive AI visibility tracking suite includes:
- AI Answer Monitoring - We track when and how your business appears in AI-generated responses across all major platforms, ensuring you never miss a mention.
- Conversational Query Tracking - We monitor how AI systems respond to natural language questions about your services, capturing the full spectrum of how customers actually search.
- Cross-Platform Visibility Scoring - We measure your presence across all major AI search engines, giving you a complete picture of your AI visibility footprint.
- AI Recommendation Frequency Analysis - We track how often AI systems recommend your business over competitors, providing crucial competitive intelligence.
- Response Quality Analysis - We monitor the context and accuracy of AI mentions about your company, ensuring your brand is represented correctly.
- Semantic Keyword Performance - We track performance for conversational, long-tail queries that AI systems favour, moving beyond traditional keyword metrics.
- Intent-Based Visibility Monitoring - We monitor your visibility across different user intents including informational, commercial, and local searches.
This comprehensive tracking ensures you understand exactly where your business stands in the AI search landscape and how our optimizations drive measurable improvements in your AI visibility.
Our Comprehensive AI SEO Methodology
At Pitch Black, we've developed a sophisticated approach that balances cutting-edge AI technology with human expertise and strategic insight. This methodology ensures your business receives the most effective AI search optimisation whilst maintaining the authentic brand personality that sets you apart from competitors.
The Perfect Balance of Technology and Human Insight
Whilst AI excels at processing vast amounts of data and identifying patterns at scale, human expertise remains essential for strategic decision-making and creative direction. Our hybrid approach delivers AI-generated insights that are enhanced by experienced SEO specialists who understand Australia's unique market dynamics. This combination allows us to develop creative content strategies that maintain your authentic brand voice while maximising search performance across both traditional and AI platforms.
Our team combines local market intelligence with AI-powered competitive analysis, ensuring every recommendation aligns with your business objectives. This strategic oversight prevents the common pitfall of over-reliance on automation, guaranteeing that your brand personality shines through every piece of optimised content.
Tailored Strategies Based on AI Behavioural Analysis
Generic approaches consistently fail because different AI systems respond to entirely different signals and ranking factors. Our custom strategy development begins with platform-specific optimisation, recognising that what works for ChatGPT differs significantly from Perplexity or Bing Copilot requirements.
We conduct comprehensive industry-specific AI behaviour analysis to understand precisely how AI systems evaluate businesses in your sector. This includes detailed competitor AI visibility auditing to analyse why competitors appear in AI responses and develop strategies to outrank them. Our approach leverages local market dynamics, incorporating Western Australian business patterns and customer behaviour into every strategy.
Continuous algorithm adaptation ensures your strategies evolve alongside AI search platforms. You'll receive customised solutions built around your specific business needs, target audience, and market position—never cookie-cutter automation that ignores your unique requirements.
Complete Transparency in Methods and Performance
AI-powered SEO should never feel mysterious or opaque. Our transparent approach includes detailed documentation of AI processes with clear explanations of how we optimise for each platform. We provide complete data source transparency, offering full disclosure of the platforms and tools we use for insights, ensuring you understand the foundation of our recommendations.
Regular strategy sessions through monthly calls keep you informed about our activities and reasoning. Real-time dashboard access provides live visibility into your AI search performance across all platforms, whilst comprehensive performance attribution delivers exact breakdowns of which strategies drive specific results. Our thorough ROI documentation demonstrates clear correlation between AI visibility improvements and business growth.
This commitment to transparency eliminates confusing jargon, hidden tactics, or vague "trust us, it's working" responses. You'll understand exactly how our AI strategies benefit your business at every stage.
Quality Content That Resonates with Both AI and Humans
Whilst AI-generated content often lacks the personality and nuance that builds genuine customer relationships, our content excellence standards ensure every piece maintains your unique brand voice. We utilise AI-assisted research and ideation, then apply human editorial refinement for tone, voice, and style alignment.
Brand alignment verification ensures every piece reflects your company's unique personality, whilst dual optimisation addresses both traditional search engines and AI platform requirements. Local context is woven naturally into content to improve search visibility, supported by a comprehensive quality assurance process with multiple human review stages before publication.
Ongoing performance monitoring tracks how content performs across different AI search platforms, ensuring continuous improvement. Whether we're creating fresh articles or optimising existing pages, your brand voice remains consistent whilst search performance improves across all platforms.

The Rapid Growth of AI Search Demands Immediate Action
The numbers clearly demonstrate AI search's rapid adoption. Searches for "AI search engine" grew to around 7500 in the U.S., while searches for "text to video AI" grew to nearly 6500 in 2024. AI Overviews are on the rise: 13.14% of all queries triggered AI Overviews in March 2025, up from 6.49% in January 2025. In 2024 Google received approximately 373 times as many searches as ChatGPT, but the AI tool's search volume is on a scale similar to Pinterest at roughly 20M searches per day.
This exponential growth means early adopters gain significant competitive advantages. Businesses that optimise for AI search now will dominate their industries as adoption accelerates.
