Service — Answer Engine Optimization
Get Cited by AI.
Not Just Ranked
on Google.
When your potential customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude "who is the best [service] in [city]?" — your business needs to be the answer. AEO is how you get there.
What is Answer Engine Optimization?
AEO is the practice of optimizing your web presence — content, authority signals, structured data, and entity recognition — so that AI-powered search engines cite your business in their answers.
AI Citation Optimization
Structure your content and authority signals so ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini recognize and cite your business as a trusted source.
Google AI Overviews
Appear in Google's AI-generated answer summaries — the featured position that captures attention before any other search result.
FAQ & Structured Data
Build the structured, question-and-answer content that AI engines extract and surface in response to buyer queries.
Entity Authority Building
Establish your business as a recognized entity in your category — with consistent NAP data, citations, and cross-platform presence.
Knowledge Panel Optimization
Build and optimize your Google Knowledge Panel to signal authority to both traditional and AI-powered search engines.
AEO Performance Tracking
Monitor your AI citation frequency, share of voice in AI answers, and track competitive position across AI platforms.
The Shift to AI-Powered Search
Search behavior has fundamentally changed. A growing percentage of commercial searches now begin with an AI assistant — not a Google search bar. When someone asks "what's the best SEO agency in Cincinnati?" they're more likely to use ChatGPT or Perplexity than scroll through page one of Google.
AEO is how your business earns a seat at that table. Unlike traditional SEO — which optimizes for algorithmic ranking signals — AEO optimizes for how AI models understand, trust, and cite your business when generating answers.
We were early movers in AEO and have developed a proprietary framework for building the authority signals that make businesses the recommended answer — across every major AI platform.
