| Traditional Search | AI Discovery (AEO) | |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Fight for rankings, hope for a click | Deliver the direct answer AI shows instantly |
| 02 | Long, keyword-stuffed pages built for crawlers | Concise, structured content built for extraction |
| 03 | Depend on backlinks and algorithm updates | Depend on schema, entities and answer clarity |
| 04 | Optimize for the ten blue links | Optimize for the one answer AI reads aloud |
| 05 | Traffic that rarely converts | Citations that put you in front of an already-deciding buyer |
AEO is the discipline of structuring your content, data and authority so large language models can find, trust and cite your brand when someone asks a question in your category — instead of guessing at your positioning themselves.
“What’s the best AEO agency for a B2B SaaS company?” — asked in ChatGPT, Perplexity or Copilot, not Google.
It pulls from structured, well-sourced, entity-clear content — pages built to be quoted, not skimmed.
AEORanks engineers that content, schema and authority so your brand is the one the model names.
Your team optimizes pages. AI engines surface answers. That mismatch already makes you invisible in summaries and citations.
Models talk about your product whether you optimize or not — without AEO, they decide your positioning for you.
Most teams have no data on which prompts mention them, how often, or how they compare to competitors.
AI visibility depends on structure, entities and answer clarity — signals most SEO tooling never measures.
A full baseline of where you're cited today across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and AI Overviews — and where competitors are winning instead.
02Question-led answer blocks mapped to real buyer prompts, not keywords — built in the 60–120 word structure models prefer to quote.
03Schema (FAQ, HowTo, Product), crawlability, site speed and entity markup — the foundation that lets AI crawlers read you cleanly.
04Generative Engine Optimization for the answers themselves — shaping how AI summarizes, compares and recommends your category.
05Structured authority building — digital PR, entity linking and expert sourcing engineered to earn citations, not just backlinks.
06Ongoing prompt testing and citation monitoring across every major engine, reported monthly against your competitors.
A six-phase system that takes you from invisible to cited — built and refined across every engagement.

Book Your Free AEO AuditAEO services structure your content, schema and authority signals so AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews cite your brand directly in response to buyer questions — audit, content, technical, and ongoing citation tracking, delivered as one engagement.
SEO earns you a ranking on a results page. AEO earns you the answer itself — inside an AI response, a voice assistant reply, or a chat citation, often with no click required at all.
Engagements are scoped to your content library and competitive category, typically as a monthly retainer covering audit, content production, schema and citation tracking. Book a call for a quote built around your goals.
Yes. We run prompt audits and structure content specifically for how ChatGPT, along with Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Claude, sources and cites answers.
Most clients see the first measurable citation lift in 4–6 weeks. Visibility compounds from there as more of your content passes the citation bar.
Yes — we track citation frequency, share of voice and sentiment across every major engine and report it monthly, isolated from your organic search metrics.
No. AEO builds on your existing SEO foundation — strong technical SEO and authority still matter, AEO adds the structure AI needs to trust and cite that content.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO overlap heavily — GEO shapes how AI summarizes and compares your category, AEO gets you cited as the source. Most engagements run both together.
