What is AEO?
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of getting a brand cited and recommended inside the answers that AI assistants generate, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and Grok. Traditional SEO earns you a ranking on a results page. AEO earns you a place inside the single answer the user actually reads.
Why it matters now
The buyer's journey now often begins and ends in a chat window. Three in four B2B buyers research with AI tools, and AI-referred visitors convert roughly five times better than traditional organic traffic, because they arrive already advised.
Most brands miss one thing: the answer engine reads its own signals. Only a small fraction of the URLs AI cites also rank in Google's top ten, so a strong Google strategy does not guarantee you a place in the answer. AEO is a separate discipline, and most of your competitors haven't started on it.
What we do
Content that leads with the answer
We open every important section with a short answer of 40 to 60 words, the exact block the engines pull out. That kind of capsule shows up in roughly 72% of the pages ChatGPT cites.
Formats AI can lift
Tables, comparisons and ranked lists, because engines pull structured content far more readily than plain prose. Tables get pulled about 81% of the time, ordinary paragraphs about 23%.
FAQ and HowTo schema
Question-and-answer markup that AI reads next to the text and uses to pull your content into its answers.
Real evidence, kept current
Original data, real sources and regular updates are the signals that earn an engine's trust.
We track how often AI names you
A live dashboard showing how often the AI engines mention and recommend you next to your competitors. Gemini is live today, and more engines come online as they open up.
How it works
- 01
Baseline
We run the queries your buyers actually ask and record who the engines cite today.
- 02
Gap analysis
We map why competitors get cited and you don't: their structure, their evidence, the mentions behind them.
- 03
Engineer
We rebuild your key pages to lead with the answer, and add the schema and formats engines reward.
- 04
Re-measure
We track your share of citations every month and double down on what moves it.
Outcome
You stop being a link that might get clicked. You become the source the answer is built from, quoted and recommended at the moment someone decides.
FAQ
Is AEO the same as SEO?+
No. SEO targets rankings on a results page; AEO targets citations inside an AI answer. They share foundations but need different engineering, and only a small share of AI-cited sources overlap with Google's top ten.
Which engines do you optimize for?+
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Copilot and Grok, the six that drive the most AI-assisted discovery today.
How fast will I see results?+
The core structure and content usually start to move within 60 to 90 days, and your share of citations builds from there.
Can you guarantee a citation?+
No honest agency can guarantee a specific AI output. We guarantee the engineering of the signals that demonstrably raise your odds, and honest measurement of what it produces.
