AEO – AI Search Visibility
Service Overview
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimisation. It’s the practice of making your business visible in AI-generated search results — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini — where a growing number of your customers now start their search.
Key Features
I check your AI search visibility across all major platforms as part of every monthly engagement. This includes testing relevant prompts, identifying citation gaps, and building the content and entity signals needed to improve your AI presence over time.
Traditional SEO gets you onto Google’s first page. AEO gets you cited inside the AI-generated answers that now appear above those results. If your business isn’t being mentioned in AI responses, you’re invisible to a portion of your potential customers.
AEO is not a separate service you buy — it’s built into how I work with every client. The schema markup, content structure, and entity signals I implement for SEO also improve AI visibility. It’s the same work, done with AI search in mind from the start.

1. What is AEO and why does it matter now?
AEO is Answer Engine Optimisation — making your business visible in AI-generated search results. As more people use ChatGPT and Perplexity to find businesses, appearing in those answers is becoming as important as ranking on Google's first page.
2. Is AEO a separate service I need to pay for?
No. AEO work is included in every engagement I take on. The schema markup, content structure, and entity signals I build for SEO also improve your AI search visibility. It's part of how I work — not an add-on.
3. How do you check AI visibility?
I test a set of relevant prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini. I check whether your business is cited, what competitors are cited instead, and what signals are needed to improve your presence in those answers.
4. How quickly can AI visibility improve?
AI visibility is influenced by your overall authority, schema markup, and content structure. Improvements typically become visible over 2–4 months as the signals build up — similar to how organic SEO rankings develop over time.
