AEO services
Answer engine optimization services
Answer engine optimization services aim to improve how ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews name and describe a business. The work starts by finding out what those engines say today, question by question. That measurement is the service we sell.
What we sell: the AI Visibility Audit
One brand, one main site, one market, for $750 paid upfront with no subscription.
- 25 questions, selected by us. Built for your trade and adapted to the facts you confirm at intake. We choose the set independently, so it can't be steered toward questions you already win.
- 500 planned attempts. Each question asked four times on each of four named API engines, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity, and searched four times on Google for your market, recording the AI Overview when Google shows one.
- A written report. The facts the engines state about you, where you were named or cited and where you weren't, which competitors were named, the limits of the sample, and prioritized changes with the wording or specification you'd need to act on them.
- A 90-day recheck. Five of your original questions, asked again on the same five engines, with a short comparison.
Delivery is five business days from your reserved start date. Full scope, terms and availability.
What we do not sell yet
Implementation is not for sale yet. The audit ends with change specifications you can act on yourself or hand to your existing web or SEO provider. We plan to offer implementation as a separate, bounded scope once the audit is established. If you'd like to hear when it opens, join the waitlist.
Other names for the same service
Generative engine optimization (GEO) services, AI search optimization services and LLM SEO services describe the same aim. The label matters less than the scope behind it. AEO vs SEO vs GEO.
What to ask an AEO agency before you hire one
- Which engines, by name? ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews are separate products. "AI" is not one channel.
- The API or the app? Answers collected through an API under recorded conditions are not the consumer apps, and a report should say which it measured.
- How many times is each question asked? Answers change between runs. A single run of each question is an anecdote, and failed attempts belong in the report too.
- Mentioned, cited or recommended? A business can be the source an answer is built from and still not be the business the answer recommends. Why the difference matters.
- Who picks the questions? A question set built around searches a business already wins flatters the result.
- What is promised? Nobody controls a model's output. A promise of citations, rankings or a timeline describes something no provider can see.
- Which pages and profiles will change, and who does the work? A scope you can check is worth more than a list of tactics.
Some widely repeated advice in this field was produced by instructing a model to invent quotes and sources. What the founding research actually measured.
What an audit should contain · What answer engine optimization is · How we measure
Questions we get asked about this.
What do answer engine optimization services include?
Two kinds of work: measuring what ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews say about a business, and changing the pages, profiles and facts those answers draw on. We sell the measurement, as a $750 audit that ends with specific changes to make.
How much do AEO services cost?
Our AI Visibility Audit is $750, paid upfront, with no subscription. Implementation is not for sale yet.
Do you guarantee citations or rankings in ChatGPT?
No. Nobody controls a model's output, and answers change between runs and between model versions. We report what the engines said under recorded conditions.
Is an AEO agency different from an SEO agency?
The foundations overlap. Google says there are no additional requirements to appear in AI Overviews or AI Mode. The difference is what gets measured: the answers themselves, engine by engine.
Do you offer GEO services too?
Generative engine optimization describes the same aim as answer engine optimization. The audit covers the same five engines whichever name is used.
