Why Perplexity SEO Is a Different Ball Game
If ChatGPT is conversational, and Gemini is Google-integrated, then Perplexity is your AI-powered research assistant—fast, citation-heavy, and real-time. It doesn’t just give answers—it shows exactly where those answers come from.
And that’s the big difference: Perplexity rewards accurate, well-structured, well-cited content, and pulls live data from the web instead of relying on static LLM training or Google’s ecosystem. So if your business isn’t listed in trustworthy sources or structured in a way Perplexity understands, you simply won’t be referenced.
That’s where Perplexity SEO comes in. It’s not about keyword stuffing or backlink chasing. It’s about earning a place in AI responses through clarity, trust, and source credibility.
How Intesols Helps You Get Visible in Perplexity
We’re an Australian SEO and digital agency with a forward-facing SEO model tailored specifically for AI search engines—including Perplexity, Gemini, and ChatGPT.
With our tailored Perplexity GEO services, we help your business get picked as a source when users ask AI tools for answers like:
- “Best family lawyers in Melbourne?”
- “Top NDIS providers in Victoria?”
- “What’s the cost of solar panels in Australia in 2025?”
The goal? Get your brand listed, cited, and trusted—right inside Perplexity’s results.
What Makes Perplexity SEO Different from ChatGPT or Gemini?
| Feature | Perplexity | ChatGPT | Gemini |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data Source | Real-time web + citations | Static dataset + plug-ins | Google ecosystem (Search, Maps, YouTube) |
| Citation Required | Yes | No | No |
| Ranking Signals | Trust, structure, recency | Relevance, pattern training | Schema, ecosystem presence |
| User Expectation | Fact-backed research | Friendly answers | Context-rich suggestions |
What this means for your business is simple: if your website isn’t structured properly, Perplexity won’t use it—even if your information is perfect.
That’s why we optimise every layer—from your content, to your site markup, to the external mentions that build your online authority.
