Services / AEO

Help AI understandyour business

Answer engine optimisation structures your website so ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI features understand what you do and when to mention you. Nobody can guarantee a citation — this work makes you clear enough to be considered.

Hard to understand means hard to recommend

AI-assisted research is becoming part of how people compare businesses. If your services, expertise, and location read vague or inconsistent online, answer engines have little to work with. Structure gets you understood — authority and relevance still decide what gets surfaced.

What AEO includes

01

Answer-ready content

Your expertise organised around real questions with direct, useful answers — readable by people, parseable by machines.

02

Structured data

Schema that gives machines reliable context on who you are, what you do, and where you do it.

03

Entity building

Consistent business details and credible third-party signals that help answer engines connect your name, services, people, and location.

04

Citation tracking

Monitoring where AI assistants mention or overlook you, so future work is guided by evidence rather than guesswork.

How it runs

01

Question mapping

The exact questions your customers ask AI before buying.

02

Structure + schema

Content and markup organised so machines can interpret it accurately.

03

Monitor visibility

Watch for mentions, gaps, and changes, then improve what the evidence supports.

Common questions

What is AEO?

Answer engine optimisation is the practice of making your website and wider business information easier for AI assistants to find, understand, and potentially reference. It improves eligibility and clarity; it cannot guarantee citations.

Is AEO different from SEO?

They overlap. SEO improves visibility in traditional search results, while AEO also considers how answer engines interpret and assemble information. Both depend on useful content, technical quality, relevance, and authority.

Why does AEO matter for small businesses now?

People increasingly ask AI tools while researching services. Clear, consistent information gives you a better chance of being understood in that journey — it's an emerging channel, not a shortcut.
