ANSWER ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

Your buyers ask AI.
AI picks its sources.

Become one of them.

AEO makes your company a source that ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI cite when your buyers ask what to buy. Not traffic for its own sake. Presence in the answer.

The shift

Ranking was the old goal. Being cited is the new one.

AI engines do not show ten blue links. They give one answer, built from a handful of sources they trust. When your buyer asks for a shortlist, you are either in that answer or you are absent, and no amount of page-one ranking fixes invisibility in the place the decision actually happens. AEO is the discipline of becoming one of the trusted sources.

How it works

Five steps from invisible to cited

1

The audit

We run your brand through 40 real buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews. You see exactly where you appear, where competitors appear, and which questions you are losing.

2

The entity foundation

AI engines cite companies they can verify. We fix your structured data, schema, and cross-platform consistency so every source that describes you agrees on what you are.

3

Question-first content

We build content shaped like the questions buyers actually ask, because that is the shape answer engines extract. Definitions, comparisons, and straight answers, written to be quoted.

4

Authority signals

Citations follow trust. We build the third-party footprint that makes engines confident: the mentions, listings, and references that corroborate your expertise.

5

Track and report

Every month you get your citation report: where you appeared, where competitors appeared, movement against last month, and what we are doing about the gaps. You watch the answer change.

Results

Repeatable, and measured

An on demand beauty and wellness brand went from 26% citation share to 42% citation share in 90 days.
A supply chain software company went from 10 to 27 AI citations in 75 days.
An B2B software development staffing agency went from 14% AI visibility share to 27% visibility share in 120 days.

Pricing

AEO retainers start at $4,250 per month

Scope drives the rest: the number of question clusters we target, the content volume, and how many competitors we track against. You will have an exact number after the audit, and the audit is free either way.

FAQs

Straight answers

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of making a company a source that AI engines cite when answering buyer questions. Where SEO optimizes for ranking in search results, AEO optimizes for inclusion in AI-generated answers on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews.
SEO earns you a position on a results page the buyer still has to click. AEO earns you a place inside the answer itself. The two overlap, and strong SEO foundations help AEO, but the tactics diverge: AEO prioritizes entity clarity, extractable answers, and third-party corroboration over rankings.
First citation movement typically shows within 60 days, with compounding gains over 3 to 6 months. AEO builds authority, and authority accrues rather than switches on. That is also why it defends: a competitor cannot buy their way into the answer next quarter.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, and Google AI Overviews, tracked monthly against the buyer prompts that matter for your market.
