Early, not experimental
We have been running AEO since before it had a name. Most agencies are still guessing.
AEO/Answer Engine
Optimization Services
Optimization Services
Search didn't die. It moved. ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews now answer the questions your buyers used to type into Google. AEO makes sure you're in the answer.
The problem
If AI engines can't parse who you are, what you do, and why you're credible, they recommend your competitor. You never even see the lost lead, and most brands have zero visibility into this today.
AI visibility audit
Where you appear, and don't, across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews. Measured, not guessed.
Entity and schema optimization
We align your organization, product and author information across key pages, then add relevant structured data that accurately describes the business. Clear, consistent facts give search and answer engines fewer opportunities to misread you.
Content restructured for citation
We reshape priority pages around a direct answer, supporting evidence and useful follow-up questions. Original examples and named sources make the page worth citing, rather than simply easy to scan.
Digital PR and authority signals
We identify the publications, directories and industry conversations that buyers already trust, then build a plan for expert contributions and credible mentions. Each opportunity supports the same positioning as your website.
Share-of-answer tracking
A repeatable set of buyer questions tracks which brands appear, which sources are cited and how answers change over time. We review that sample alongside referral traffic and qualified enquiries, with the limits of the data made clear.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is answer engine optimization?
Answer engine optimization helps search and AI systems understand your business and use your content when answering a relevant question. It brings together clear positioning, useful pages, structured information and credible third-party references. The goal is to be part of a buyer’s research, not simply to collect mentions.
2. How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO focuses on visibility in search results. AEO also considers the answers generated from multiple sources by AI tools. Both depend on accessible, useful content and a credible business. We use one research plan, then measure search traffic and sampled AI visibility separately.
3. How does answer engine optimization work?
We start with the questions buyers ask while researching and comparing options. We review the answers they receive, identify missing or unclear information, and improve the pages and supporting sources. Repeating the same research over time shows where visibility is changing.
4. Is answer engine optimization worth it?
It is worth testing when your buyers use AI tools to research your category and you already have a useful website to build on. We start with a focused group of commercial questions and a baseline. That gives you evidence for the next investment instead of a promise of guaranteed citations.
5. Can you actually measure AI visibility?
We can track a defined sample of questions, engines and competitors, plus identifiable AI referral traffic. Answers vary by session and not every visit has a clear source, so the report describes its sample and limitations. A visibility trend is useful evidence, but it is not a count of every buyer who saw you.
6. Does schema markup help with AEO?
Accurate schema can help machines understand the entities and relationships on a page. It works alongside visible content, crawlability and credible sources. Markup alone does not guarantee a citation, and it should describe information visitors can actually find on the site.
