AEO + GEO
Get named in AI answers.
When people ask AI who to hire or what to buy, it names a few businesses. We make yours a clear source those answers can use, with pages that answer real questions, mentions on the sites AI draws on, and monthly tracking.

What's included
Three parts, one goal: get named.
Clear answers on your site, outside proof that backs them up, and tracking that shows what changed.
We find the questions your buyers actually ask, then answer them directly on your site in plain text, so an AI answer has something clear to use.
- Buyer question research
- Direct answers in plain text
- Pricing, process + comparison pages
- Markup that matches the page
Our approach
How we approach AEO.
AEO builds on SEO. We start with the facts, fix what blocks you, then build what earns a mention.
Talk through your questions →
See where you stand
We run your key questions through AI answers and record who gets named, who gets cited, and which sources they use.
Fix what stands in the way
An AI answer can only use pages it can reach and read. We fix crawling, indexing, and text problems first, because Google's AI features run on the same foundations as Search.
Build what earns a mention
Clear answers on your site, consistent business details everywhere, and real mentions from reviewers, local press, and directories.

AEO stands for answer engine optimization. It means making your business a clear source for tools that answer questions directly, such as Google's AI Overviews and AI Mode, ChatGPT, and Perplexity.
What is GEO, and how is it different from AEO?
GEO stands for generative engine optimization. It covers nearly the same ground, with a focus on answers written by AI, and many people use the two terms interchangeably. We treat them as one service.
Is AEO different from SEO?
AEO builds on SEO. A page has to be reachable, indexed, and readable before an AI answer can use it, so technical SEO still comes first. AEO adds pages built around real questions, mentions on outside sites, and tracking of AI answers.
Do I need an llms.txt file?
No. Google says its AI features do not need one. We can add one as a low-cost extra for other AI tools, but the real work is clear answers on your site and mentions from other sites.
Can you guarantee my business gets cited?
No. AI answers change from one search to the next, and nobody controls them. What we do guarantee is clear work and honest monthly reporting on what we find.
How do you measure AEO?
Each month we check a fixed set of your key questions in Google's AI answers, ChatGPT, and Perplexity, and record whether you are named, whether you are cited, and who appears instead. Answers vary, so we treat this as a snapshot, not a ranking. We also report visits from AI tools in Google Analytics.
