Answer Engine Optimization

AEO Services That Drive

We help brands become the answer people and AI agents find, cite, and trust. Our AEO practice combines proprietary technology with forward-deployed engineers to optimize your content for how modern answer engines retrieve, interpret, and recommend information.

The Macro Shift

From Blue Links to AI Citations.

Search is no longer a single destination. Over 58% of searches now end without a click. AI-native answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini handle billions of queries monthly. The optimization playbook has expanded from "earn the click" to "win the citation."

01

SEO Gets You Found

Traditional SEO ranks your pages in Google's organic results. Googlebot reads HTML, PDFs, and traditional web structures.

02

AEO Gets You Cited

Answer Engine Optimization ensures your content is cited verbatim by LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude.

03

Agentic AI Takes Action

The next frontier: AI agents that navigate, book, and execute tasks autonomously. Be the API they call.

FAQ

Questions We Get Asked.

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?

AEO is the practice of optimizing your content to be cited verbatim by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on ranking in search results, AEO focuses on becoming the source that AI models reference when answering user queries.

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO aims to rank your pages in Google's organic results. AEO aims to get your content cited by AI models. While SEO focuses on keywords and backlinks, AEO focuses on content structure, clarity, schema markup, and machine-readability. They complement each other—ignoring SEO starves AEO, but ignoring AEO means missing the fastest-growing search surface.

What is LLMs.txt and why do I need it?

LLMs.txt is a file that explicitly tells AI models how to safely parse, synthesize, and cite your content. Just as robots.txt guides traditional crawlers, LLMs.txt gives you control over how AI interacts with your site, reducing hallucinations and ensuring accurate citations.

How long does it take to see AEO results?

Initial visibility improvements can be seen within 4-6 weeks, but meaningful citation growth and traffic from AI platforms typically takes 3-6 months. AEO is a long-term strategy that compounds over time as AI models learn to trust and cite your content.

How do you measure AEO success?

We track AI search visibility, citation frequency, brand sentiment in AI responses, and referral traffic from AI platforms. We use proprietary observability tools alongside traditional analytics to give you a complete picture of your AI search performance.

Can AEO work alongside my existing SEO strategy?

Absolutely. AEO and SEO are complementary, not competing. In fact, strong SEO foundations (technical health, authority, quality content) are prerequisites for AEO success. We integrate AEO into your existing strategy without disrupting what's already working.
