Our AEO Services: The 3-Pillar Framework

We only spend our time on optimizations that move the needle.

Presence (Owned Media Optimization)

This is the foundation. We establish your website as the definitive source of truth for your brand. This pillar extends our proven product-led SEO offering, focusing on the mid and bottom-funnel content that AI engines and high-intent users crave. We create and optimize your “best,” “vs,” “pricing,” and “alternatives” content, pairing it with strong UI and clear calls-to-action to ensure every click has the potential to convert.

 

Prominence (Earned Media & Citation Strategy)

It’s not enough to have great content; you need to be validated by the sources AI trusts. Our Prominence service identifies the critical bottom-funnel prompts where you don’t show up. We then execute a targeted outreach strategy to get your brand featured in the high-authority articles, forums, and directories that LLMs consistently cite, ensuring you appear in the conversations that matter most.

 

Propagation (Off-Page Amplification)

We amplify your authority across the web. This pillar integrates our strategic PR services to create a powerful feedback loop. By securing high-impact media placements and positioning your executives as thought leaders, we generate the trust signals that AI models use to determine authority. This isn’t about generic press releases; it’s about hand-crafted campaigns that build your brand’s credibility and ensure your expertise is recognized.

AEO FAQs

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?

AEO is the process of optimizing your online presence to be the preferred answer for AI-powered search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's SGE. The goal is to increase brand mentions and drive high-intent traffic from these platforms. It also goes by generative engine optimization (GEO), LLM Optimization (LLMO), and AI SEO.

How is AEO different from traditional SEO?

While they share fundamentals, SEO focuses on ranking in traditional search results, while AEO focuses on influencing the direct answers generated by AI. AEO is less about keyword ranking and more about becoming a trusted, cited source and a frequently mentioned brand.

Why do brand mentions matter more than citations?

Mentions are a direct recommendation from the AI and are seen by every user who reads the answer. Citations (links) are often hidden or ignored. Mentions are a stronger, more stable signal of brand authority within the AI model.

How do you measure AEO success?

We track the number and quality of brand mentions for key commercial prompts, referral traffic from AI platforms, and the conversion rate of that traffic. The ultimate goal is to show a clear ROI from capturing this high-intent audience.

How long does AEO take to work?

We've seen brands that were able to get mentioned very quickly by LLMs based on our work. While the industry and relevant strategies are new, it seems to take effect more quickly than SEO in scenarios where brands have the right fundamentals in place. That said, results will depend on additional factors as AEO doesn't operate in a bubble.

How much do we need to spend?

Our minimums for AEO are currently $5,000 per month but depend on your industry, competitive landscape, and goals. Project-based campaigns are quoted based on the full scope of the campaign.

What LLMs or AI search tools do you optimize for?

We are able to track mentions across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, and others.
