AEO & GEO

When buyers ask an AI, one answer wins.

Search is splitting in two. Half your buyers still scan links; the other half ask an assistant and read a single reply. We get your brand into that reply, and the snippets and voice answers around it.

The lived moment

How a question becomes a recommendation.

1

They ask

A buyer types a real question into an assistant instead of a search box. No list of links, just a question, and an expectation of one good answer.

2

It assembles

The engine drafts that answer from the few sources it trusts most, clearly structured, factually consistent and corroborated across the open web.

3

It cites

The engine names and links a handful of those sources. Becoming one of them is the whole game.

Answer

What is AEO & GEO?

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) are the practice of structuring a brand's content, data and reputation so AI answer engines, like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Perplexity, quote and recommend it when people ask a question, instead of returning a list of links.

AEO, Answer Engine Optimization

Earning the featured snippets, voice answers and “People also ask” boxes that read a single source aloud.

GEO, Generative Engine Optimization

Getting cited and recommended inside the written answers generative AI tools synthesise from across the web.

A buyer told our rep, “ChatGPT recommended you.” We never used to hear that, now it’s weekly.

Straight answers

Five questions before you start.

How do I even see what AI says about my brand today?
We run your real buyer prompts through ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI answers and show you exactly where you appear, where a competitor is quoted instead, and why. That audit is the first thing you get.
Is this just SEO with a trendy name?
No, but it stands on SEO. Classic SEO earns the authority and clean, crawlable pages answer engines require; AEO & GEO then add the structure, schema and cross-web corroboration that make a model comfortable quoting you. Skip the SEO and you cap your ceiling.
How fast before an engine actually cites us?
On focused topics, first citations and snippet wins often appear in 6–12 weeks. Broad category coverage compounds over two to three quarters, it depends on your starting authority and how clean your site and content are.
Can you make ChatGPT say something specific about us?
We can’t script a model, and anyone who promises that is bluffing. What we do is engineer the evidence, facts, structure and citations across the open web, so the honest, well-sourced answer is the one that features you.
What if an AI is currently saying something wrong about us?
Common and fixable. We trace where the model is pulling the bad information, correct and crowd it out with accurate corroborated sources, then monitor the major engines so it stays right.

It rests on a foundation

Answer engines only quote sources they already trust. That trust is SEO, authority, clean structure and a fast, well-built site. We build the base, then the answer layer on top.
