Why local matters

We know
Hobart

We're not a mainland agency with no idea about Tassie. We're local — we know the suburbs, the seasonal rhythms, and what Hobart customers actually search for.

Suburb-level intelligence

We understand how AI responds to local searches across Salamanca, Sandy Bay, North Hobart, and beyond — not just the city as a whole.

Real people, not ticket queues

Phone calls, coffee meetings, quick chats — we work the way small business owners prefer, not through automated support systems.

Early mover advantage

Most Hobart businesses haven't started GEO yet. Right now is the best time to get ahead — before your competitors catch on.

"I had no idea AI search was even a thing until they audited my café. Three months later, ChatGPT recommends us when people ask about coffee in Hobart. It's been incredible for foot traffic."

"As a tradie, I was sceptical. But when I started getting calls from people who said they found me through 'an AI recommendation', I knew something was working. Brilliant team to deal with."

every Tassie industry

Practical, specific guidance on how AI search optimisation works for different types of Hobart and Tasmanian businesses.

Charlie
Founder & GEO Strategist, Tasmanian.ai

As a Hobart-based digital strategist, I founded Tasmanian.ai in 2025 after noticing that local businesses with strong Google rankings were completely invisible when customers asked ChatGPT or Perplexity for recommendations. The gap between traditional SEO and AI search visibility was — and still is — massive for Tasmanian businesses.

I built Tasmanian.ai to fix that. My background is in SEO and content strategy, and I now focus exclusively on helping small businesses across Tasmania become the answer AI models give when someone asks for a local recommendation.

FAQ

Common questions
answered clearly

Everything Hobart business owners ask us before getting started.

What is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)?

Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is the practice of optimising your website and content so that AI-powered search tools — such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, and Gemini — cite and recommend your business when users ask relevant questions. Unlike traditional SEO which targets search engine rankings, GEO targets AI-generated answers directly.

How is GEO different from SEO?

Traditional SEO focuses on ranking in Google's blue-link results. GEO focuses on being cited in AI-generated answers. As more Australians use AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity to find local businesses, GEO has become essential alongside traditional SEO. The two strategies complement each other — strong GEO signals often reinforce SEO performance too.

Do Hobart small businesses really need GEO?

Yes. AI-powered search tools are now used by a significant and growing share of Australians to find local products and services. Hobart businesses that appear in AI-generated recommendations gain a meaningful competitive advantage — and because most local competitors haven't invested in GEO yet, now is the ideal time to establish visibility before the market catches up.

How long does GEO take to show results?

Most clients begin seeing measurable improvements in AI citation rates within 60 to 90 days. Technical changes like schema markup take effect quickly, while content-driven improvements build over time as AI models index and incorporate new material. We track your progress monthly so you can see exactly what's changing.

Which AI platforms do you optimise for?

We optimise for ChatGPT (OpenAI), Perplexity AI, Google AI Overviews, Claude (Anthropic), and Google Gemini. Our approach is platform-agnostic — the underlying signals that make a business citable by one AI model generally improve citability across all of them.

What does the free GEO audit include?

We test your business across five major AI platforms, identify where you currently appear in AI-generated answers, benchmark you against local Tasmanian competitors, and deliver a personalised report within 48 hours. There's no obligation and no cost — just a clear picture of where you stand.

How much does GEO cost for a small Hobart business?

We offer three plans. Starter is $497/month and covers a full audit, schema setup, and two AI-optimised content pieces. Growth is $997/month and adds five content pieces, competitor monitoring, and a monthly strategy call. Authority is $1,897/month for multi-location businesses or highly competitive categories. All plans are month-to-month — no lock-in contracts.
