AI SEO Agency in Ireland: Found in Google, Cited by AI
Rankdough is an AI SEO agency based in Loughrea, Co. Galway. We get brands ranking in Google and recommended in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.
We work with ecommerce, travel and sport brands in Ireland, the UK and the US. Every engagement starts with a free Search & AI audit, checked by hand.
What Does an AI SEO Agency Do?
An AI SEO agency gets your brand found in Google and named in AI answers. Rankdough does this through six services, and the people who plan the work also carry it out.
AI Visibility Programme
Entity building, answer-first pages, third-party mentions and citation tracking across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.
SEO & AI Opportunity Audit
A fixed-scope audit of competitors, keywords, technical health and AI visibility, turned into a prioritised roadmap.
Content That Gets Cited
Answer-first pages and articles that state the facts buyers ask about in plain text near the top.
Technical SEO & AI Crawlability
Rendering, indexing and speed fixes, plus access checks for Googlebot, GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot.
SEO for New Website Builds
We work with your designers and developers so a new site launches structured for Google and AI answers.
Why Do Google Rankings Alone Not Win AI Answers?
ChatGPT picks its sources differently from Google. We tested this on client work in September 2026, using real buyer questions.
Zero overlap with Google
For six buyer questions in the custom jersey market, the sites ChatGPT cited had zero overlap with Google's top 10.
#1 in Google, absent in ChatGPT
BigLeagueShirts ranked first in Google for "custom softball jerseys" and appeared in none of six ChatGPT answers.
Questions rewritten first
ChatGPT added minimum order, turnaround, pricing and youth sizing to a jersey question before it searched. Pages stating those facts got cited.

Are AI SEO, GEO and AEO Different Services?
No. They are three names for one job: getting your brand found in Google and used in AI answers. If you are comparing a GEO agency, an AEO agency or an AI SEO agency, ask what each one tests and implements.
AI SEO
SEO work aimed at Google rankings and AI assistants at the same time.
GEO
Generative engine optimisation: getting cited in answers that ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity generate.
AEO
Answer engine optimisation: structuring pages so answer engines and Google AI Overviews can lift the answer.
AI SEO Agency: Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you get in touch.
What is an AI SEO agency?
An AI SEO agency improves how often your brand ranks in Google and how often ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews mention, recommend or cite it. Rankdough is an AI SEO agency in Loughrea, Co. Galway, Ireland.
How much does AI SEO cost?
The Search & AI audit is free. We agree the price of the Opportunity Audit and any monthly programme on a call, once we understand your site and goals.
Can AI tools do SEO on their own?
AI tools write and sort data fast, but they cannot judge what is worth publishing or check claims against your business. We use AI in our workflow, and a senior SEO checks every output before it goes live.
Can you guarantee my brand will be cited by ChatGPT?
No. AI platforms do not publish how they choose sources, and answers change between sessions. We find why you are missing, fix what can be fixed, and measure the change with repeated prompt tests.
Do you work with brands outside Ireland?
Yes. We work with brands in Ireland, the UK and the US, and have run SEO in markets from toy retail in English to hostel bookings in Korean.
How is an AI SEO agency different from a standard SEO agency?
A standard SEO agency reports on Google rankings. We also test real buyer questions across AI platforms, because our tests showed a page can rank first in Google and still be missing from ChatGPT answers.
