Answer Engine Optimization

Be the answer when buyers ask AI.

Your next customer is asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overview who to hire. We make sure you're the name it gives — described accurately, and backed by sources it trusts.

How we get you into the answer

01

Make sure AI knows who you are

AI assistants build a picture of your business from scattered sources. We make the facts consistent everywhere they look — what you do, who you serve, where you operate — so they stop guessing.

02

Get cited by the sources AI trusts

When an assistant recommends a firm, it leans on a short list of sources it trusts. We get you onto that list with credible mentions, reviews, and expert content.

03

Make your site easy for AI to read

Structured data, clear answer pages, and an llms.txt file give AI tools a clean summary of your business instead of making them piece it together.

04

Test what AI says, every month

We ask the major assistants the questions your buyers ask and track whether you're recommended, how you're described, and what's wrong — then fix it.

Common questions

How is this different from SEO?

SEO earns a spot in a list of links. AEO earns a spot in the answer itself — the one paragraph a buyer reads in ChatGPT or Google's AI Overview. Good SEO helps, but it isn't enough on its own.

How fast will we see results?

Fixes to your own site and data show up within weeks. Being cited by outside sources builds over two to four months. We report progress monthly so you can see it moving.

Can you guarantee we'll be recommended?

No one honestly can — AI tools change constantly. What we guarantee is measurement: you'll know exactly where you stand and what we did each month to improve it.
