The problem
Your expertise is there. AI engines just can't use it
Answer engines prefer content that states a clear answer, backs it up, and is easy to attribute. Most B2B websites bury their best thinking in long PDFs, vague marketing copy and pages without structure.
The result: assistants quote a competitor’s blog or a review site instead of you.
Buyer questions go unanswered
Your site talks about features while buyers ask about cost, alternatives, implementation time and fit.
Answers are hard to extract
Key facts are buried mid-paragraph, inside images or behind scripts, so engines skip them.
Your brand isn't a clear entity
Inconsistent names, missing schema and thin About pages make it hard for AI to know who you are and what you're an authority on.
What's included
Make every important answer easy to find, trust and quote
AEO combines content structure, technical markup and measurement so your answers show up wherever buyers ask.
Prompt-pattern research
We map the real questions and prompts your buyers use across Google, People Also Ask and AI assistants, by funnel stage.
Direct-answer content
Concise answer-first sections, definitions, comparison tables and step lists that engines can lift cleanly.
Schema & structured data
Organization, Service, FAQPage, HowTo, Product and Article markup implemented and validated.
Entity optimization
Consistent brand, people and product entities across your site, profiles and knowledge sources.
Featured snippets & PAA

AI citation tracking
We monitor a defined prompt set across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Google AI Overviews to see when you're cited.

Rewrite priority pages answer-first, add structured data and strengthen entity signals.
04
Track citations
Monitor citations and snippets across engines and refine pages that aren’t being picked up.

FAQ
AEO questions, answered

AEO is the practice of structuring content so answer engines, including Google’s featured snippets, voice assistants and AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Perplexity, can extract a direct answer from your page and attribute it to your brand.
SEO focuses on ranking pages in a list of results. AEO focuses on being the answer itself: clear, quotable passages, structured data and strong entity signals. The two work together; AEO usually builds on pages that already have a solid SEO foundation.
ChatGPT (including search), Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Claude. Each uses different sources and retrieval methods, so we test and track them separately.
No one can guarantee what a generative model says. We can significantly improve the likelihood by making your content clear, well structured and corroborated by trusted sources, and we measure progress with a consistent prompt set.
Structured data helps search engines and AI systems understand who you are, what you offer and how your content is organized. It’s not a magic switch, but it removes ambiguity and supports rich results in Google.
Monthly reports cover featured snippets and People Also Ask wins, AI citations and mentions across our tracked prompt set, AI-referral sessions in GA4, and the conversions those visits produce.
