The Problem Most
Businesses Face With AI Search
As AI-powered search becomes the default way people find information, traditional SEO alone isn't enough. Your content needs to be optimized for how AI systems understand and present answers.
Missing From AI Answers
Your expertise exists, but AI assistants aren't pulling your content when users ask relevant questions.
Content Not AI-Friendly
Content structured for humans but not optimized for how AI systems parse, understand, and cite information.
No Direct Answers
AI systems prefer concise, authoritative answers. Content that requires interpretation gets overlooked.
Losing Visibility
As more users rely on AI for answers, traditional search traffic declines—unless you optimize for both.
"AEO isn't about replacing SEO—it's about ensuring your expertise appears wherever people seek answers, whether through traditional search or AI assistants."
A Better Way to Think
About Answer Engine Optimization
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of structuring and optimizing your content so AI systems can easily understand, extract, and cite it when answering user questions.
Unlike traditional SEO that focuses on ranking in search results, AEO ensures your expertise appears directly in AI-generated answers—whether that's Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT responses, Perplexity answers, or other AI assistants.
The goal: Make your content the authoritative source AI systems turn to when users ask questions in your domain.

Frequently Asked
Questions
What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of optimizing content so AI-powered search systems (like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity) can easily understand, extract, and cite your content when answering user questions. It complements traditional SEO by ensuring visibility in AI-generated answers.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO focuses on ranking in traditional search results. AEO focuses on getting your content cited and featured in AI-generated answers. They work together—AEO ensures your expertise appears wherever people seek answers, whether through search results or AI assistants.
Do I need AEO if I already have SEO?
AEO complements SEO. As more users rely on AI for answers, AEO ensures you don't lose visibility. If your audience uses AI assistants, AEO helps you reach them directly in AI-generated responses.
Which AI platforms does AEO optimize for?
We optimize for Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, and other major AI search platforms. Our approach is platform-agnostic, ensuring your content works across multiple AI systems.
How long does it take to see AEO results?
AEO results can appear faster than traditional SEO—sometimes within weeks. However, building authority and comprehensive coverage takes time. Most clients see initial AI citations in 1-3 months, with stronger results in 3-6 months.
How do you measure AEO success?
We track AI citations, monitor when your content appears in AI-generated answers, measure answer quality, and report on visibility across different AI platforms. Success metrics include citation frequency, answer placement, and traffic from AI sources.
