New Service — AI Engine Optimization
Your customers are asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini about your industry. AEO makes sure you’re the business they recommend.
The shift
AI generates a direct answer — and that answer recommends businesses, or doesn’t. If your content isn’t structured for AI crawlers, if your business isn’t cited across authoritative sources, you don’t exist in that answer.
Your competitor does. The businesses that move first win the category.
What AEO does
AI engines can find and index your content correctly.
AI assistants reference your business when people ask about your industry.
You appear in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.
Your content directly answers the questions buyers are actually asking.

Common questions
Quick answers to the things clients ask most about AEO. Don’t see yours? Drop us a note — we reply the same day.
Yes. ChatGPT alone has hundreds of millions of weekly users and is increasingly used as a replacement for Google search. Google’s AI Overviews are above the fold for a large and growing share of searches.
We track appearances and citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google Al Overviews for a defined set of questions your customers ask. You see the before/after in every monthly report.
There’s overlap — clean schema, authoritative citations, and strong content help both. But Al engines weight things differently: structured Q&A, direct-answer formatting, and citation breadth matter more than traditional backlink volume.
Ideally both. If budget forces a choice, SEO still captures more volume today. AEO captures where search is going. For most businesses, running them together is the right answer.
Because Al platforms refresh their knowledge faster than Google re-crawls, AEO often produces visible wins faster than traditional SEO. Expect early gains in months 2—4.
