Get cited by AI. Not just ranked by Google.

When someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews about your industry, does your business show up? AEO makes sure AI search engines find, trust, and reference your content.

SEO gets you ranked.
AEO gets you cited.

Traditional SEO optimizes for Google's blue links. AEO optimizes for the AI engines that are replacing those links. When a potential customer asks ChatGPT "who's the best electrician in Columbus" or Perplexity "best marketing agency near me," your business needs to be in that answer.

We structure your content, build your authority signals, and optimize your data so AI models treat your business as a trusted source. This is not about gaming algorithms. It is about making your business the obvious answer.

Everything an AI needs to trust your business.

AEO covers the signals that AI models look for when deciding whether to reference your business in their answers.

📋

Schema.org Structured Data

Organization, LocalBusiness, FAQ, HowTo, Product, and Review schema markup that AI engines can parse directly. Machine-readable facts about your business.

FAQ Content Architecture

Question-and-answer content structured so AI models can extract clean answers. Built from real customer questions, not keyword stuffing.

🏆

E-E-A-T Authority Signals

Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trust signals that AI models use to decide which sources are credible. Author bios, credentials, reviews, and citations.

🔍

AI Citation Monitoring

Track when and how AI engines reference your business. See which queries trigger your content and where competitors are getting cited instead.

🧩

Direct-Answer Formatting

Content structured with clear definitions, lists, and summaries that AI can extract without rewriting. Your words, in their answers.

📈

Monthly AEO Reports

Reports showing AI visibility progress, citation tracking, schema coverage, and content optimization recommendations. Same intelligence-backed reporting as our SEO service.

How we optimize for AI engines

The same disciplined, four-step approach we use for SEO, adapted for the way AI search engines discover and reference content.

01

Audit AI visibility

We test your business across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot. We document where you show up, where competitors show up, and where neither does.

02

Structure your content

Schema markup, FAQ sections, clear headings, direct answers. We restructure your existing content so AI engines can parse it cleanly and cite it accurately.

03

Build authority

E-E-A-T signals, review management, author profiles, business directory consistency. The signals AI models use to decide if your business is credible enough to cite.

04

Monitor and optimize

Monthly citation tracking, schema validation, and content updates. AI engines re-crawl constantly. We make sure your content stays current and citeable.
