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 two dedicated services: SEO/AI Audit (one-time) and Continuous SEO (monthly retainer).

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.

  • AI citability audit: how ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews see you now
  • 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
  • Agent accessibility (Agentic Browsing): correct ARIA, agent-navigable structure, WebMCP readiness

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/AI Audit 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/AI Audit first. They work best together.
