FAQ

Perplexity SEO, answered.

What makes Perplexity different from ChatGPT?+
Perplexity is citation-first: every answer shows its sources, with links. Getting listed as a source is everything — a citation is both a recommendation and a referral click. (For ChatGPT, see our ChatGPT recommendation page.)
How do you get cited?+
Perplexity retrieves live web sources and favours authoritative, well-structured pages that directly answer the question. We build that footprint: structured data, question-based content, review strength, consistent listings and authoritative mentions.
Do people really use Perplexity locally?+
A growing share — especially research-heavy buyers for higher-ticket services. It's smaller than Google today, but growing fast, and early citations compound.
Is this a separate service?+
No — one AI-search program covers ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, because the signals overlap heavily. See the full AEO & GEO service.
