AEO & Generative Engine Optimization

In the AI era, half your buyers ask a language model before they ever open a browser. We engineer your content so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews quote you as the definitive source — with your brand name intact.

At a glance

Semantic SEO & AEO

Semantic SEO & Answer Engine Optimization goes beyond basic keywords. We develop comprehensive topic clusters and entity relationships so your content is recognized as an authoritative source by both traditional search engines and AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity.

Why it matters

Search intent is increasingly conversational and AI-driven. Content optimized only for classic SEO often fails to appear in AI-generated answers, limiting your reach as more users rely on generative tools.

How you benefit

Your content ranks higher in Google, gets frequently cited by AI engines, builds long-term topical authority, and drives consistent organic growth with reduced dependency on single keywords.

Key Offerings
  • Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) tailored for major AI platforms
  • Topical maps and entity coverage
  • Technical SEO audits with Core Web Vitals optimization
  • Programmatic SEO for scalable content production
How Customers Benefit

Your content ranks higher in Google, appears frequently in ChatGPT/Gemini/Perplexity answers, attracts consistent qualified traffic, and reduces reliance on fragile single-keyword rankings. Expect 30-100%+ organic traffic growth within 6-18 months.

What it is

What is AEO & Generative Engine Optimization?

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) — sometimes called GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — is the discipline of getting your brand cited inside AI-generated answers. When a buyer asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overview a question in your category, AEO determines whether your brand shows up in the answer or gets skipped entirely.

Why it matters

How it helps your business

01

Visibility in the new zero-click era

AI answers already handle 20–40% of buyer research. If you're not in the answer, you don't exist to that buyer.

02

Higher-intent traffic

Users who click through from an AI citation arrive with the question already framed — they convert 2–3× better than cold search traffic.

03

Brand mention share, not just links

Being named in an AI answer builds category authority even when the user never visits your site.

04

First-mover advantage

AI ranking signals are still forming. Brands who optimise now will be the defaults when the space matures.

The journey

What to expect

Weeks 1–3 · Prompt baseline

We test 200+ buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude and score your current share of voice.

Weeks 4–8 · Gap fixing

For every prompt you lose, we identify the missing entity, fact, or structure and ship the fix.

Months 2–4 · Citation lift

Mention rate typically grows 3–5× as restructured content is picked up by LLM indexes.

Ongoing · Monthly LLM report

Prompt-level wins, losses, and next moves — the only reporting layer that actually reflects the new search reality.

Best fit

Ideal for

  • SaaS, B2B, and consumer brands where buyers research with ChatGPT before Google

Frequently asked

Can you actually track LLM citations?

Yes. We run a monitored prompt set weekly against ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude and report your brand's mention rate, position, and sentiment.

Is AEO different from SEO?

It shares a foundation with SEO but the ranking signals — structure, factual density, entity clarity — are weighted very differently. We run them as one coordinated programme.
