AI search optimization (AEO): common questions

What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?

AEO is optimizing your business and website so AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews understand it and recommend it in their answers. It builds on good SEO, with extra focus on direct answers, consistent facts and third-party mentions.

Is AEO different from SEO?

It builds on SEO. AEO focuses on being quoted or named in AI answers, which rewards direct answers, consistent business details, structured data and reputable mentions.

Who owns the ad accounts, website and data?

You do. Your Google Ads account, Google Business Profile, analytics, website and content are in your name. We work inside them with access you can remove at any time.

Do you lock clients into long contracts?

No. We work month to month with 30 days notice. Website projects have a fixed scope and price.
