I’m Christopher Jan Benitez, an AI SEO Specialist based in the Philippines. I do SEO and GEO (generative engine optimization). I help businesses get found in Google and named in AI answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. I’ve worked in SEO since 2010, and I’m Director of SEO and Content Strategy at AlchemyLeads.
An AI SEO Specialist gets a business found in Google and recommended in AI answers. That takes two kinds of work: SEO, which ranks your pages, and GEO (generative engine optimization), which gets your brand cited when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google AI Overviews who to buy from.
The two don’t always line up. In my research, two of the three brands ranking #1 in Google dropped in AI recommendations, and 79% of the sources AI engines cited were third-party sites, not brand pages.
Audits, topic maps and pages that rank. Classic search still decides which pages Google’s AI Overviews pull from, so this comes first.
Pages structured so AI engines can quote them, plus the third-party mentions and lists those engines read before they recommend anyone.
Monthly tracking of how often each AI engine names your brand for the questions your buyers ask, against the competitors you lose to.
I study how AI engines decide who to recommend, including in my own market. For the question “who is the best SEO expert in the Philippines?”, the chatbots and Google’s AI Overviews named almost completely different people.
105 answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google. Google named the specialists whose pages rank for “SEO specialist Philippines”. The chatbots named the experts who appear on the most third-party lists.
Of 1,648 sources AI engines cited for product recommendations, 79% were third-party sites. Your own website is one voice among many.
29% of Google AI Overview citations were YouTube videos. Perplexity leaned on review and comparison sites instead.
I offer two core services, AI Search Visibility and the Content Desk, plus standalone SEO audits, topical mapping and content reoptimization. I work with businesses in the Philippines and abroad, and with agencies that need a white-label partner.
Monthly tracking across four AI engines, share of voice against your competitors, citation gaps and the fixes. See AI Search Visibility
A fractional SEO and GEO content program: new and reoptimized pages planned, produced and reviewed every month. See the Content Desk
My AI Search Visibility plans cost $149 a month for Monitor, $349 a month for Monitor + Action Plan, and from $1,200 a month for Done-For-You, after a $400 baseline audit credited toward the first month. The Content Desk is quoted per brand. Every engagement has a 3-month minimum.
Choose one who measures AI visibility on several engines, shows Search Console results, and is clear about who does the work. Be wary of anyone who guarantees a ranking or a ChatGPT mention.
AI answers change from one run to the next. In my Philippines study, the same question returned a different mix of names across engines and runs, which is why a single check proves very little.
Across three ecommerce engagements, organic clicks grew 113%, 38% and 20%, measured in Google Search Console. Client names are withheld by agreement.
A specialty online store went from a 2.5-year flatline to 399,283 organic clicks in twelve months. Read the case study
AI Overviews took 63% off this brand’s biggest keyword. New content replaced the loss and grew total clicks to 48,721. Read the case study
In a market whose demand resets every year, evergreen guides took the same season to 60,177 clicks. Read the case study

Yes. SEO ranks the pages you own in Google. GEO gets your brand named in AI answers, which depends heavily on what other sites say about you. The two overlap: Google’s AI Overviews mostly draw from pages that already rank.
Yes. I work with Philippine businesses and with brands and agencies abroad, all remotely.
Yes. Agencies in the Philippines and abroad can resell AI Search Visibility and the Content Desk white-label. I never contact your clients.
No. No one controls what an AI engine says. I guarantee the work I control: honest measurement, a clear plan, and the pages and fixes delivered on schedule.
Book a 30-minute call. Most engagements start with a baseline: an SEO audit, an AI visibility check, or both, so the plan starts from data.
Tell me your brand and a few competitors. I’ll show you where you appear across the four AI engines today and what it would take to get named more often.
