AEO & GEO (AI Search)

AI Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) for Businesses whose customers are starting to ask ChatGPT and Siri instead of Google

Content and structured data built specifically to be understood and cited by AI systems, built specifically for businesses in the US, UK, Australia and Canada who need this without local agency pricing.

The business whose customers now ask AI instead of Google

A growing share of your potential customers aren't typing a search into Google anymore — they're asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, or a voice assistant directly: "find me a good [your business type] near me." That's a fundamentally different interaction than a search results page, and it plays by different rules.

When an AI assistant answers that question, it either names your business or it doesn't — there's no page two, no list of ten blue links to scroll past. You're either the answer, or you're invisible to that entire customer, in that entire moment.

Answer Engine Optimization is the discipline of structuring your content and data so AI systems can understand, trust, and cite your business specifically — a genuinely new skill set that most agencies still haven't caught up to.

Worth knowing

AI-assisted search and chat usage has grown rapidly as a share of how people research local businesses and services — a shift happening fast enough that content strategies built purely for traditional search are already falling behind.

What's costing you right now

  • No visibility when customers ask AI assistants directly instead of searching Google
  • Website content isn't structured in a way AI systems can easily parse and cite
  • Competitors starting to appear in AI-generated answers while you don't

In practice

What this can look like for a business like yours.

Illustrative example

Illustrative example: a regional bakery restructures its "About" and FAQ content around specific, clearly-answered questions ("do you make gluten-free birthday cakes," "what's your delivery radius") rather than generic marketing copy. Follow-up testing shows the business beginning to appear in AI-generated recommendations for those specific queries where it hadn't before.

FAQ

Common questions about ai answer engine optimization (aeo).

Traditional SEO optimizes for ranking in a list of links; AEO optimizes for being the actual answer an AI system gives, often with no link at all.

We track citation appearances across major AI platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews) for your target queries.

No, they work together — strong SEO content is the raw material AEO builds citation-readiness on top of.

Often yes — AI systems tend to favor clear, specific, well-structured local information over sheer brand size, which can level the field more than traditional search does.

Faster than traditional search algorithms in many cases, since AI platforms are still evolving rapidly — which is why ongoing tracking, not a one-time setup, matters here.
