Answer engine optimization (AEO) services
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is about being the answer, not one of ten links. We restructure your pages and publish new ones so AI engines and assistants can quote you directly, then track how often they do.

What are AEO services?
AEO services make your content the answer AI engines and assistants choose. The work is answer-first page structure (a direct 40-60 word answer under each question), FAQ and organization schema, tables models can lift, fast indexing and clear entity signals so engines know exactly who you are and what you do.
More on the term in our AEO glossary entry.
What is included every month?
Every engagement includes a 16-crawler GEO/AEO audit with a baseline score, the technical fixes AI engines rely on (llms.txt, robots.txt, sitemap, schema), AI Spider indexing runs for priority pages, answer-ready content with interlinking, and weekly tracking of AI rank, share of voice, citations and sentiment against your competitors.
- Week 1: audit across 16 AI crawlers, readiness score and baseline visibility vs. your top competitors
- Technical fixes done for you: llms.txt, AI-ready robots.txt, enhanced sitemap and schema markup
- Indexing: AI Spider runs plus IndexNow and Bing submission for new and updated pages
- Answer-ready content built around the questions your customers ask AI, published and interlinked
- Reporting: a short weekly update and a full monthly report in plain English

What does an answer-first page look like?
Each section opens with the question as a heading and a direct, self-contained answer of 40-60 words, followed by detail, a comparison table and an FAQ with schema. AI engines pull short passages, so the answer has to make sense on its own when quoted out of context. Every page we publish follows this format.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
One service, two ways to pay: $1,500 per month on an annual plan or $2,000 per month month-to-month. No tiers, credits or software to learn. AI visibility is a 3-6 month build; technical fixes land in the first weeks, and citation gains compound as content and mentions accumulate. Nobody can honestly guarantee placements.
Every engagement starts with a free baseline audit that shows where AI engines name a competitor instead of you. Full details are on services and pricing.
All of this is part of one done-for-you AI search visibility service.
Frequently asked questions
Is AEO different from GEO?
The terms overlap. AEO stresses being the direct answer; GEO stresses being cited in generated responses. We do both in one program.
Does AEO help with Google AI Overviews?
Yes. AI Overviews draw on pages Google already ranks, and answer-first structure makes those pages easier to cite.
Do you guarantee rankings in AI answers?
No. AI engines decide what they cite. We do the work that measurably raises the odds and report progress every week.
Do I need to log in to any software?
No. Our team runs our own AI visibility software for you. You get a weekly update and a monthly report.
