Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of earning a place in the short answers people now get from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews.
A search results page asks the reader to choose. An assistant chooses first and shows its working only sometimes. The commercial question is no longer only whether you rank. It is whether you are named, cited, or left out of that short answer.
AEO overlaps SEO. It still cares about crawlable pages, clear entities, and links from relevant places. It adds a prompt set: the actual questions your buyers type into an assistant, checked on a schedule you can read.
We will map the questions, ship answer-ready pages, pursue mentions you can explain, and report mention, citation, and share of answer against a baseline. Where you give access, we narrate organic and AI-referred sessions from your analytics.
We will not sell a guaranteed citation count, a traffic percentage, or a number-one placement. Assistants do not offer that contract, and neither do we.
Start with a complimentary AI Visibility Check, or commission a $997 audit if you already know this is a priority.
