AEO. Answer Engine Optimization
Optimise your content to appear when buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and other AI tools for answers in your category.
What's Getting in the Way
Search is changing faster than most businesses realise. ChatGPT has over 100 million users asking questions daily. Perplexity is growing at pace. Gemini and Bing Copilot are embedded in every browser. Your potential customers are getting answers from AI and if your business is not cited, you are invisible in the fastest-growing search channel of 2025. Buyers who get your name from an AI recommendation are pre-qualified. AEO builds trust before the first click.
- Competitors already being cited in ChatGPT and Perplexity answers in your category while you do not appear
- Traditional SEO rankings matter less as AI search captures a growing share of queries
- Your content is not structured in the way AI engines prefer to cite and reference
- No strategy for the AI search channel while it is still early and winnable

What is AEO vs SEO?
SEO optimises for Google's link-based results. AEO optimises for AI engines that generate direct answers. Both matter and they complement each other. AEO is the newer discipline.
How do you measure it?
Brand mention frequency in AI answers, query coverage across target topics, and share of voice compared to competitors in AI search.
How long until results?
First citation improvements typically in 30-60 days. Consistent presence across target queries builds over 3-6 months as authority grows.
What content gets cited by AI engines?
Clear, well-structured, authoritative content that directly answers specific questions. Original research, comprehensive guides, and entity-rich pages perform best.
Does this replace SEO?
No. AEO and SEO work together. Good SEO authority helps AEO and vice versa. We recommend running both in parallel.
