What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?

AEO is the discipline of getting your business surfaced — and recommended — by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini. Traditional SEO targets blue links; AEO targets the AI-generated answer that increasingly comes before them.

How is this different from regular SEO?

SEO ranks pages. AEO frames your business as the answer. We optimize the entities, schema, and citations that AI models read when they're picking who to recommend — and we track every mention so you can see where your brand is showing up in AI results.

Is this worth doing yet, or is it too early?

It's the right time. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews are already shaping a meaningful share of buyer journeys. Brands that move now are getting cited; brands that wait are getting summarized around.

What do I actually get?

Schema and structured data on every page that matters, an llms.txt and knowledge-graph profile for your brand, a citation-building campaign on the sources AI models read most, and a monthly AI-mention report so you can see exactly where you're showing up.

Answer Engine Optimization

Get found when customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI

Search isn't 10 blue links anymore. We make sure when an AI is asked about businesses like yours, your name comes up — with the right facts, the right sources, and the click-through to prove it.

The shift

The question isn't "where do you rank" anymore.

It's "does the AI know who you are, and does it recommend you?" Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI before they ever scroll a SERP. AEO is the work that puts you in those answers.

What we optimize for

Four engines. One job: get you cited.

ChatGPT

Where 200M+ people ask before they Google.

Perplexity

Citation-first answers — your sources matter.

Google AI Overviews

The AI answer above the blue links.

Gemini

Embedded across Google products and Workspace.

How we ship it

A four-step path to AI visibility

No guessing. Each step has a measurable output you can review.

Step 01

Entity audit

We map how AI models currently understand your business — names, services, geography, founders, claims — and find the gaps that get you summarized around.

Step 02

Schema & structured data

JSON-LD across every page that matters: organization, service, FAQ, review, breadcrumb. We give AI models the clean signals they're hunting for.

Step 03

Citation building

We ship the content, listings, and inbound mentions on the exact sources that AI models read most — so when you're searched, you get cited.

Step 04

AI-mention tracking

Monthly report showing exactly where your brand appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews — and what to fix when it doesn't.
