AEO
Be the answer when customers ask AI.
Answer engine optimization, or AEO, is the work of getting your business cited when people ask AI tools like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini for a recommendation. We do it with answer-first pages, structured data that matches your content, consistent business details, and earned mentions on sites AI trusts.
What's included
Answer-first content
Pages that state the answer to a real customer question in the first few sentences, in plain words AI tools can quote.
Structured data that matches the page
Schema for your business, services and FAQs that describes exactly what visitors can see, which is what search engines require.
Consistent business identity
Your name, location, services and hours stated the same way on your site, your Google Business Profile and the directories AI tools read.
Earned mentions and reviews
AI answers lean heavily on third-party sources, so we help you earn reviews, listings and mentions on sites that carry weight.
How it works
Ask the machines
We check what AI tools currently say about your business and your competitors for the questions your customers ask.
Fix the source material
We rewrite key pages answer-first, correct your structured data and align your business details everywhere.
Earn and measure
We build the reviews and mentions AI relies on, then re-check the answers over time and keep improving.

Questions people ask
Do I need an llms.txt file or special AI markup?
No. Google's own guidance says there are no special files or schema needed to appear in its AI features. The fundamentals that make a site useful and trustworthy are what count.
Is AEO different from SEO?
It builds on SEO. The same crawlable, well-structured site is the foundation, but AEO adds answer-first writing, entity consistency and third-party proof so AI tools can confidently cite you.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?
No one can guarantee that. What we can do is make your business the clearest, most consistent and best-supported answer available, which is what these tools reward.
