001 The Shift
Search changed. Most businesses haven't caught up.
People used to type keywords into Google and click links. Now they ask AI a question and get a direct answer. ChatGPT has over 100 million users. Perplexity is growing fast. Google's own AI Overviews now appear at the top of millions of searches.
If your business isn't optimized for AI-driven search, you're invisible in the fastest-growing discovery channel on the internet. AEO is how you fix that and most of your competitors haven't started yet.
002 What We Do
What AEO covers
ChatGPT & Perplexity
When someone asks an AI for a recommendation in your category, your business needs to be the answer. We make that happen.
Voice Search
Voice queries are conversational and local. "Best dentist near me" your business needs to be what Siri and Alexa say.
LLM Optimization
Large language models pull from structured, authoritative sources. We make your content the source they cite.
GEO Generative Engine Optimization
A new discipline built for AI-generated search results. We optimize your content to appear in AI summaries and featured answers.
Structured Data & Schema
AI engines need clearly structured information. We implement schema markup that makes your business easy for AI to understand and recommend.
Conversational Content
AEO content is written the way people talk and ask questions not the way people type keywords. We write for both.
003 By Industry
AEO built for your industry

005 FAQs
Common questions about AEO
What is AEO?
Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of optimizing your online presence to appear in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT and Perplexity to Google's AI Overviews and voice assistants. It's the next evolution of SEO.
Is AEO different from SEO?
Yes and no. They share the same foundation quality content, authority, and structure. But AEO goes further: it optimizes for conversational queries, AI summaries, and the way LLMs pull and cite information.
Do I need AEO if I already do SEO?
Yes. AI search is growing fast. Businesses that get in early will own their category in AI results. Those who wait will play catch-up. We always recommend doing both SEO and AEO together.
How do you measure AEO results?
We track AI citation frequency, featured snippet appearances, voice search rankings, and traffic from AI-driven sources. It's newer territory, but the signals are measurable.
Which industries benefit most from AEO?
Any service business where people ask questions before buying dentists, contractors, clinics, lawyers, coaches. If someone asks "who's the best [service] near me," AEO puts you in that answer.
How long does AEO take?
Faster than traditional SEO in some areas. AI engines update frequently and can start citing your content within weeks of proper optimization. Full impact typically builds over 3 to 6 months.
