The short answer

What is AEO consulting?

AEO consulting means a specialist audits how AI answer engines see your brand, then fixes your site, content and online mentions so those engines understand you, trust you and quote you. It works best alongside SEO, not instead of it.

Why now

Your buyers ask AI before they ask you

If the answer names your competitor and not you, you lose that lead without ever seeing it in your analytics.

01

Fewer clicks

AI answers settle many questions right on the results page, so ranking alone brings in less traffic than it used to.

02

Shortlists happen in AI

Buyers ask for the best provider and get two or three names. Those names get the calls.

03

Early movers win

Few businesses in most industries work on AEO yet, so clear and trusted sources get picked up faster.

What you get

Six things we fix

Every engagement covers all six, scaled to your size and market.

AI visibility audit

We ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI the questions your buyers ask, and record who gets named and why.

Brand and entity clarity

AI tools learn exactly who you are, what you offer and where, with the same facts everywhere.

Answer first content

Pages that answer real buyer questions in the first lines, with facts, comparisons and pricing context.

Technical access

Crawling, indexing, speed and structured data, so AI crawlers can read every key page.

Mentions and citations

We earn mentions on trusted sites, lists and directories, which AI tools lean on when picking sources.

Plain English reporting

AI mentions, AI referral traffic, branded search and leads, every month.

Questions buyers ask

SEO works to rank your pages in Google’s list of links. AEO works to get your brand named inside the answer itself, in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. They share a base, so we run them together.

We track how often AI tools name or cite your brand for your key questions, before and after. We also report branded search, AI referral traffic in Google Analytics and the leads that came from them.

No, and nobody honest can. AI tools pick sources on their own. We make your brand the clearest, most trusted answer for your topic, which raises the odds and keeps improving over time.

Good SEO helps, but pages that rank can still be skipped by AI answers if they bury the answer, lack clear facts or have few outside mentions. AEO fills those gaps.

The 90 day growth sprint starts at $2,500. Ongoing AEO starts at $1,200 a month, and can be added to any of our SEO plans. We do not offer performance based pricing.

First fixes go live within 30 days. AI tools pick up changes at their own pace, so we re-measure the same prompts every month and show you what moved.

A short kickoff call and access to your website, Google Analytics, Search Console and Google Business Profile if you have one. We handle the rest.
