Why AEO / AI search matters in 2026

More and more people search via ChatGPT, Perplexity, or directly in Google AI Overviews — and get the answer without clicking any site. If your brand is not in that answer, you do not exist for that user. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) / GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is the discipline that makes you a source cited by AI.

It is related to classic SEO but not identical. SEO gets you to #1 in Google; AEO gets you cited in the generated answer. The mechanics differ: AI prefers short, direct answers, concrete data (numbers, prices, times), structured FAQs, a clear entity (who you are, what you do, where), and an llms.txt telling it what to index. For classic SEO (Google/Bing ranking) we have a separate SEO optimization service (see below).

We work on existing sites (audit + implementation) or new sites (AEO-ready from the start). Plus monitoring: we track whether and how you appear in AI answers, on the questions that matter for your business.

What we deliver

Direct implementation in code + AI visibility monitoring. Not just theory.

  • llms.txt + llms-full.txt with your index and brand description
  • Structured Q&A: citable FAQs, short answers in the first paragraph
  • Entity optimization: Organization/Person schema, sameAs, about/author/contact (E-E-A-T)
  • Structured data for AI: FAQPage, HowTo, Article, Product where applicable
  • Answer-first content fixes: definitions, lists, tables, concrete figures
  • Readiness for AI Overviews, ChatGPT search, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini
  • AI mention monitoring: we track appearance on key questions + report

Good fit if...

  • Competitors appear in ChatGPT / AI Overviews answers and you do not
  • You sell services/products people research by asking an AI first
  • Your SEO is decent and you want the new AI-search visibility layer
  • You are launching a new brand and want models to "know" you from the start

Not a fit if...

  • Your site lacks SEO/technical basics — then we start with SEO optimization or a rebuild
  • You want a guarantee AI will always cite you — nobody can give that; we optimize probability, not promise it
  • You have no real content to cite (empty page) — content first, then AEO

Frequently asked questions

  • How is this different from classic SEO?

    Classic SEO gets you high in Google/Bing results. AEO/GEO gets you cited in AI-generated answers (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews). They overlap on fundamentals (structured data, authority, good content), but AEO additionally requires llms.txt, answer-first responses, and a clear entity. Ideally you do both.

  • Do you guarantee ChatGPT will cite me?

    No — nobody controls what models cite. What we do: maximize the probability via everything known to help (citability, entity, structured data, concrete content) and monitor the real result.

  • How long until I appear in AI?

    AI Overviews and Perplexity (which index live) can reflect changes in 1-4 weeks. Models with a training cutoff update more slowly, but their search features use the live index.

  • What is llms.txt?

    A file (like robots.txt, but for AI) telling AI crawlers what content you have and how to use it. We generate and maintain it as part of the service.

  • Does it work without classic SEO?

    Partly. Many fundamentals are shared, so AEO also helps SEO. But if the site has basic technical issues, we recommend SEO optimization first. They work best together.
