What buyers ask us.
The questions every first call starts with, answered the way we answer them on the call.
What is AEO?
Answer Engine Optimization: the practice of making your brand the one AI assistants cite and recommend when buyers ask them for options. Where SEO earns a ranking, AEO earns the recommendation inside the answer itself.
How do you measure AI visibility?
We track a fixed universe of high-intent buyer prompts daily across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, and record whether you are named, cited, or absent, and which sources each engine leaned on. That baseline becomes the scoreboard for the whole engagement.
How long until results?
Entity and crawlability fixes land in weeks. Citation and mention programs typically move visibility inside one to two quarters. We publish the tracking dashboard from day one, so you watch the movement rather than take our word for it.
Do you replace our SEO agency?
Sometimes. AEO is strongest when it steers the whole organic program, and we run both. If your current SEO work is sound, we can run AEO alongside it and hand your team the playbook.
What does an engagement cost?
Focused AEO programs start in the low five figures per month. Full-stack growth engagements are tailored to your business's needs and your appetite for scale.
