S/01 · Surfaces we win

Every place an answer engine looks.

Classic SEO ranks documents. AEO makes your content the answer. We optimize for the four surfaces that increasingly own search demand.

Google AI Overviews & SGE

Structure pages so Google’s generative answers cite your site instead of paraphrasing competitors. Entity clarity, source authority, and quotable passages.

SearchGPT & ChatGPT search

Content patterns optimized for LLM retrieval: clean semantic chunks, explicit entities, dated freshness signals, and reference-quality formatting.

Voice search & assistants

Speakable schema, conversational headings, and concise direct answers tuned for Google Assistant, Siri, and Alexa surfaces.

Six deliverables that compound monthly.

Every AEO retainer ships the same six categories. Tier governs volume — Lite (15+ pages), Pro (30+ pages), Max (55+ pages).

See per-tier scope

Entity-based optimization

Mark up people, products, places, and concepts so search engines understand your business as a unified knowledge graph entity, not a bag of pages.

Conversational query content

Map and answer the long-tail conversational queries users actually type into AI search — with direct, quotable answers above the fold.

FAQ + PAA alignment

Q&A sets aligned to live People Also Ask data, refreshed monthly, with FAQ schema on priority pages.

Advanced schema enhancement

FAQ, Organization, HowTo, Speakable, and Service schema deployed on the pages that matter — validated in Search Console and Rich Results Test.

NLP & semantic optimization

Content rewritten for NLP clarity: clean entity references, unambiguous pronouns, explicit relationships, and topical depth that LLMs reward.

Hyper-intelligence modules

Reusable answer modules (definitions, comparisons, how-tos, calculators) that slot into multiple pages and compound topical authority over time.

S/03 · How we deliver AEO

From entity audit to monthly compounding.

A four-stage cycle that ships in month one and compounds every cycle after. No vague roadmaps — every month is a measurable delivery.

AEO audit & entity mapping

Crawl current pages, map entity coverage gaps, identify quotable content opportunities, and score schema completeness across priority URLs.

Conversational query research

Pull live PAA, SGE citations, voice-search patterns, and competitor LLM coverage. Build a prioritized question bank by commercial intent.

Content & schema deployment

Ship monthly: rewritten passages, new Q&A blocks, schema, speakable markup, and entity references. Every change validated and tracked.

Measurement & expansion

Monitor AI Overview citations, voice impressions, PAA presence, and zero-click coverage. Expand winning patterns across the site monthly.

S/04 · Best fit

Who AEO moves the needle for.

SaaS & technical brands

Where prospects research solutions inside AI assistants before ever visiting your site — you need to be the cited answer, not the missing page.

Content-heavy publishers

Sites with hundreds of articles losing zero-click traffic to AI Overviews. AEO turns that loss into branded citations and retained authority.

Local & multi-location brands

Where voice search and conversational queries drive real-world visits. Speakable schema and entity clarity move the needle on assistant surfaces.

E-commerce & comparison-driven categories

Where LLMs are increasingly cited in product research. Schema, entity authority, and quotable comparison content win the AI recommendation layer.

S/05 · AEO FAQs

Honest answers about answer-engine work.

FAQ 01

What is Answer Engine Optimization and how is it different from SEO?

AEO optimizes for answer engines — Google AI Overviews, SearchGPT, voice assistants, PAA boxes — not just blue links. It overlaps with SEO but adds entity modeling, conversational query coverage, schema for LLM retrieval, and content patterns designed to be quoted rather than just ranked. Most modern engagements run both in parallel.

FAQ 02

Do I need AEO if I already have a strong SEO retainer?

If your traffic is being eaten by AI Overviews, voice surfaces, or PAA expansions — yes. AEO stacks on top of a Starter / Growth / Scale SEO retainer and focuses on the answer layer that classic SEO underweights. Many clients run both.

FAQ 03

How long until AEO results show up?

Schema, FAQ, and speakable wins often surface in 2–6 weeks. Entity authority and SearchGPT presence build over 3–6 months as engines re-crawl and rebuild their indexes. We report monthly on AI Overview citations, PAA presence, voice impressions, and zero-click coverage.

FAQ 04

Can you guarantee a citation in Google AI Overviews or SearchGPT?

No agency can guarantee that — they are generative systems with non-deterministic output. We can guarantee the deliverables (schema, entity coverage, conversational content, Q&A sets, modules) and the measurement loop. Citations follow when the foundations are right and the brand has authority.

FAQ 05

What does AEO cost?

Productized AEO retainers start at $399/mo (Lite), $499/mo (Pro), and $699/mo (Max). See the AEO Deliverables section on /pricing for the full per-tier scope. Custom scopes are quoted after a free strategy call.
