How It Works
Our AEO Process
1
AI Visibility Audit
We check how AI tools currently describe your business and identify gaps.
2
Schema & Structure
We implement schema markup and restructure content into Q&A format that AI can extract.
3
Entity Building
We build your presence across authoritative sources so AI knows who you are.
4
Monitor & Report
Monthly AI citation monitoring and reporting to track your growing visibility.
The Way People Search Has Changed
AI tools are now the first place millions of people go for recommendations. If your business isn't optimised for them, you're invisible to a growing audience.
- ChatGPT alone has over 100 million weekly users asking for business recommendations
- Local queries to AI are incredibly high-intent
- AEO is still new, so getting in early builds authority before your competitors catch on
- AEO techniques also improve your traditional SEO rankings

Read MoreCommon AEO Questions
Got questions? We've got answers.
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimisation. It's the process of getting AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity to recommend your business when users ask relevant questions.
They work together. SEO gets you into traditional search results. AEO gets you cited by AI. A lot of the techniques overlap, but AEO also involves entity building and structuring content in Q&A format.
No, and honestly any agency that promises that is misleading you. What we do is apply every known best practice to give you the strongest possible chance, and we monitor results so you can see progress.
You can start seeing citations within weeks for some queries once schema and Q&A content goes live. Building deeper authority takes 3 to 6 months, much like SEO.
