Get recommended by ChatGPT and Google AI.
Answer engine optimization helps AI tools understand your business well enough to recommend it by name.
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the practice of structuring your website so AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot can understand your business and cite it in their answers. It relies on clear facts, direct answers to common questions and structured data.
Why AEO matters for local businesses
More homeowners now ask an AI assistant who to call instead of scrolling through search results. The assistant usually names only a few businesses. If your website does not clearly state what you do, where you work and what you charge, you are unlikely to be one of them.
What we do
We write pages that open with direct, quotable answers. We add schema markup that spells out your services, area and reviews. We publish an llms.txt summary file for AI crawlers, make sure those crawlers are allowed to read your site, and keep your facts consistent everywhere your business appears online.
What's included
- Direct-answer page structure
- FAQ content based on real customer questions
- Complete schema markup
- llms.txt summary for AI tools
- AI crawler access settings
- Bing Webmaster Tools setup, a key source for Copilot and other AI search tools
- Consistent business facts across listings
- AI visibility checks in your audit
AEO for AI answers, answered.
What is the difference between SEO and AEO?
SEO helps you rank in search results. AEO helps AI tools pick your business as the answer. They share the same foundation, which is why we build both into every site.
Can you get my business mentioned in ChatGPT?
No one controls what an AI says, but we make your business easy for AI tools to understand and verify, which is what makes them more likely to recommend you.
Do I need AEO if I already do SEO?
Yes. Many of the same steps help both, but AEO adds direct answers, structured facts and AI crawler access that traditional SEO often skips.
