Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
Your next customer might never see a search results page. They'll ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overviews. We make sure your business is the answer they get.
Overview
AI search engines don't rank pages, they cite sources. Getting cited depends on clear, structured, answer-first content, a consistent presence across the web, and machine-readable signals like schema and llms.txt. We build AI-tool integrations for clients every day, so we know how these models read and retrieve content, and we optimise your site for exactly that. AEO builds on strong SEO, and most clients benefit from both.
Why choose this service
We restructure key pages so AI models can extract and cite them cleanly.
llms.txt, schema markup, and clean semantic structure that AI crawlers understand.
Your company is described the same way across your site, directories, reviews, and profiles, so models trust it.
We monitor how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude describe you, and track traffic coming from AI search.
How we work
Test how major AI engines answer your buyers' questions today, and who they cite instead of you.
Implement llms.txt, schema, and answer-first page structure.
Create the comparison, FAQ, and explainer content that AI engines tend to quote.
Track citations and AI-referral traffic monthly and adjust.

FAQ
Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of making your business the source AI assistants cite when people ask questions in your space.
No. AI engines rely heavily on search indexes, so strong SEO is the foundation. AEO adds a layer on top. Most clients benefit from both.
We measure it two ways: by repeatedly asking AI engines your buyers' questions and tracking whether you're cited, and by tracking referral traffic from AI tools in your analytics.
