Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

More and more people ask an AI assistant instead of searching Google. AEO works so that when they do, your brand is in the answer.

What it is

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the practice of tuning a brand's digital presence to improve its chances of appearing as a source, a reference, or a recommendation in answer engines and AI tools. Where SEO aims to rank pages in a search engine, AEO works so that AI understands who you are, what you do, and when it should recommend you.

Who is it for? For companies whose buyers already consult AI assistants before deciding, and for brands that do not come up when someone asks about their category.

What's included
  • An analysis of your current presence in answer engines
  • Research into the questions that matter to your business
  • An analysis of the entities and topics tied to your brand
  • Structured content that answers those questions
  • Implementation of structured data (schema.org)
  • Measurement and continuous work on coverage
