AEO — Answer Engine Optimization
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) that gets you quoted, not your competitors.

✓ SEO‑safe ✓ AI‑first ✓ Built for assistants
What is AEO — Answer Engine Optimization?
AEO — Answer Engine Optimization is about making your website the safest, clearest place for AI assistants to grab answers from when people ask questions about your product, service or category.
Instead of chasing blue links, we model your entities, FAQs and proof so assistants can confidently quote you, then send high‑intent visitors to pages built to convert. Answer engine optimization becomes a growth channel, not a risk.

We work backwards from what people really ask in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and others. - Machine‑readable structure
Schema, IDs, anchors and layout that make your answer engine optimization answers easy to lift and reuse. - Human‑friendly copy

FAQ
Questions about AEO — Answer Engine Optimization and how we work?
What exactly is AEO — Answer Engine Optimization?
AEO — Answer Engine Optimization is the discipline of preparing your site so AI assistants can safely reuse your facts, not your competitors’. You might also see people use labels like AI Search Optimization, AI SEO or GEO. In practice, it means structuring pages, answers and evidence so tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Claude recognise you as a canonical source.
How is answer engine optimization different from traditional SEO?
Classic SEO targets positions in search results. Answer engine optimization targets what happens when someone skips results and asks an assistant directly. We still care about performance, crawling and relevance — but we design answer modules, schema and anchors so assistants can quote you with confidence.
Which assistants and engines does this impact?
Our work feeds into conversational tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Grok), answer engines like Perplexity and emerging generative experiences such as AI Overviews. The exact mix depends on your market, language and how your buyers actually search.
How do you measure success with answer engine optimization?
We look at inclusion and coverage (how often you are cited), the quality of queries where you appear, and what happens after the click: engagement and conversions on the pages we touch. For many clients, we also track screenshots of AI answers over time so you can see the shift.
Will working on answer engine optimization damage our existing SEO?
No. We protect and often improve your SEO foundation: better Core Web Vitals, clearer internal linking, and stronger entity signals. We avoid duplicate thin pages and instead create AI‑liftable modules that live inside or alongside your existing key URLs.
Who gets the most value from answer engine optimization?
Brands with considered purchases — B2B SaaS, e‑commerce, clinics, agencies and regulated services — where people ask lots of questions before buying. If your buyers already paste your brand into ChatGPT or Perplexity, answer engine optimization is no longer optional.
