40% of searches now produce AI-generated answers. We make sure your brand is the one being cited -- not your competitors.
When users ask ChatGPT "What's the best CRM for small businesses?" or Google shows an AI Overview for "how to improve website speed," the brands getting cited in those answers capture massive mindshare and traffic.
Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of structuring your content, building authority signals, and formatting your expertise so that AI systems recognize you as the definitive source for your topic areas.
We've developed a proprietary framework for AEO that has helped our clients get cited in AI answers for over 500 target queries in the first six months.
The companies that act now on AEO will have a massive first-mover advantage. AI models develop "memory" of authoritative sources through repeated exposure to high-quality, well-structured content. The earlier you establish your brand as the go-to source, the harder it becomes for competitors to displace you in AI-generated answers.
Our AEO methodology combines content optimization, entity building, schema implementation, and cross-platform authority development to make your brand the most-cited source in your industry across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and emerging AI search platforms.
A systematic approach to making your brand the definitive source AI models cite.
We test your brand's current visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and other AI platforms to establish baselines and identify where competitors are being cited instead.
We optimize your existing content with clear definitions, structured formats, original data, and E-E-A-T signals that make it easy for AI models to extract and cite.
We build your brand's entity profile across Wikipedia, knowledge graphs, industry directories, and authoritative publications to strengthen AI recognition.
We continuously track your AI citations, monitor competitor movements, and adapt strategies as AI platforms evolve their sourcing and citation algorithms.
Six pillars that ensure your brand becomes the go-to source for AI-generated answers.
We identify the exact questions your audience asks AI assistants, analyze which sources are currently being cited, and map out the content gaps that represent your biggest citation opportunities.
We create and optimize content with clear definitions, original data, structured formats, and E-E-A-T signals that AI models favor when selecting sources for generated answers.
FAQ schema, HowTo markup, and semantic HTML that makes it easy for AI models to parse, understand, and reference your content as a trusted knowledge source.
We strengthen your brand's entity profile across the web -- ensuring consistent, authoritative information about your company exists in the places AI models reference when building knowledge graphs.
Proactive management of your brand's presence in Google's Knowledge Graph, Wikidata, and other structured data repositories that AI models use as foundational information sources.
Real-time tracking of where and how often your brand is cited across AI platforms, with detailed reports showing citation growth, competitor comparisons, and opportunities for increased visibility.
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) focuses specifically on getting your brand cited in AI-generated answers from platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. While traditional SEO optimizes for search engine rankings, AEO optimizes for AI citation -- ensuring your content is the source AI models reference when generating answers to user queries.
We track citation frequency across major AI platforms, monitor brand mentions in AI-generated answers, measure referral traffic from AI sources, and benchmark your visibility against competitors. We provide monthly reports showing citation growth, new query coverage, and the overall trajectory of your AI visibility.
No -- AEO complements traditional SEO. Strong traditional SEO fundamentals (quality content, technical health, authority) actually support better AEO performance because AI models often use the same signals to determine source credibility. We recommend running both strategies together for maximum visibility across all search interfaces.
Initial citations can appear within 4-8 weeks of implementing AEO optimizations, particularly for queries where you already have strong domain authority. Broader citation coverage across hundreds of queries typically takes 3-6 months as AI models re-crawl and re-evaluate your optimized content.
We optimize for all major AI-powered search and answer platforms: Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT (with browsing), Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, and Claude. Each platform has slightly different citation preferences, and our strategies account for these differences to maximize your visibility across the entire AI search ecosystem.
