AEO agency: when a customer asks AI which company to choose, the answer should include you
ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI answer "which company should I choose" with a few names, taken from sources they can verify. We measure whether your name is among them and fix what stops the AI from naming you. The first test is free.
In the example the AI names four clinics and a reason for each, and your company is not on the list.

What is AEO
AEO means a place in the answer, not a place in the list
AEO (answer engine optimization) is putting a company's presence on the web in order so that AI answer tools can find it, understand it and safely recommend it. SEO competes for a place in a list of links. AEO competes for a place in the answer: the AI names a few companies, taken from sources it can trust.
Google's guidance says it plainly: there is no special AEO or GEO formula, AI answers rest on the same search index, and the foundation is good SEO. We agree, so we do not sell tricks. The work has three parts: access, so the AI may and can read you; content, so the page holds facts that can be cited; corroboration, so other sources tell the same story about you.
| Criterion | SEO | AEO | GEO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Competes for | a place in Google's list of links | your page being the source of the answer | your name being said in the answer |
| Where you see it | search results | featured answer, voice assistant, AI Overview | ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode |
| How it is measured | positions, clicks | how often you are cited for a fixed set of questions | how often and where you are named for the same set |
| Does not work without | an indexed, fast site | SEO and clear facts on the page | SEO, AEO and sources beyond your site |
GEO and AEO are the same work with the goal named differently. We do both and call it AEO.

What we measure and fix
Six steps, from one measurement to the next
Before fixing anything we learn what the AI answers about your industry today and where it takes that from. Then we fix what can be controlled and measure again a month later.
-
01
Baseline test
What the AI answers today
Three questions your customer would ask: one broad, one about the service, one with the city. We ask ChatGPT and Perplexity each one twice in a logged-out browser, because a signed-in user gets a different answer. We record whether you are named and where.
-
02
Sources
Where the AI takes the names from
Under every answer are its sources. We count the ones that repeat across all six: Google Business Profiles, dentist portals, directories, clinic websites. That is the list of places you have to be so the AI has something to refer to.
-
03
Access
Whether the AI may and can read you
ChatGPT search only shows pages its crawler OAI-SearchBot may read. Google AI Overviews only use indexed pages. We check robots.txt, indexing, canonical addresses, language versions, and whether the text is in the code rather than in an image or a script.
-
04
Facts on the page
Whether there is anything to cite
AI cites concrete facts: what exactly, for whom, how much, how long, who does it. A page with only "experienced specialists" and "an individual approach" never makes it into an answer. We compare every service page with the questions from step one.
-
05
One story
Whether every source says the same about you
AI compares sources with each other. A different name on the Google profile, a different address in a directory, a different industry in an old listing, and the AI no longer knows who you are. Then it names the competitor where everything matches.
-
06
Corroboration
What can be verified about you elsewhere
AI trusts your own site least. It trusts what can be checked: reviews, dentist profiles, articles, directory listings with a description, partner pages. We count what you have and say what to get first. We never buy mentions or write reviews.
What we do not promise and do not do
We do not promise a place in a ChatGPT or Google AI answer, because nobody can guarantee one: the answer changes with the wording, the day and the sources. We promise a measurement you can repeat yourself, fixes that can be verified, and the next measurement a month later.
- llms.txt and "AI schema" as magic fixes: Google does not use them
- hundreds of generated question pages: Google penalises that
- bought mentions and invented reviews
The clinics and numbers on the cards are examples.
What you get
A document, not a presentation
The result of the test is a document: the baseline table, the sources and a plan in three colours. Your developer, your marketing person or we can carry it out. The document is yours either way.
- The baseline table: three questions, two systems, whether you are named and where
- The source list: where the AI takes names from in your industry and where you are missing
- A plan in three colours: this week, this month, leave alone
- The date of the next measurement and the same questions, so the comparison is fair
How it works
Three steps, five minutes of your time
You apply
The form: website and main service. No access needed; we read what the AI reads.
We test
Three questions, ChatGPT and Perplexity, each twice, in a logged-out browser. We record answers, positions and sources.
You get the document
Within five working days. What to do with it is your call: yourself, your specialist or us.
Try it yourself
Ask the AI your customer's question right now
Type the service and the place. We write the question the way a buyer asks it, and one click puts it to ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google AI Mode.
Question for the AI
Opens in a new tab. Ask twice: answers vary, which is exactly why we measure several times.
Not on the list? Request the test and the document will show which sources the AI builds the list from and where to start.

What people ask before applying
What is an AEO agency?
An agency or specialist that puts a company's presence on the web in order so that AI answer tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews) can find, understand and recommend it. That is all we do.
Is AEO the same as SEO?
AEO builds on SEO, but the goal is different. SEO measures a place in the list of links. AEO measures whether the AI cites your page and says your name. If your SEO is weak, AEO starts there.
And GEO?
GEO (generative engine optimization) is another name for the same work, with the stress on AI-generated answers. The work and the measurement overlap, so we do not separate them.
Can you guarantee a place in a ChatGPT answer?
No. Nobody can, and an offer that promises it is a warning sign. We can guarantee a measurement you can repeat yourself and fixes that can be verified.
What exactly is in the free test?
Three of your customers' questions, each put to ChatGPT and Perplexity twice in a logged-out browser. The document has the table of whether you are named, the sources the AI takes names from, and the first three tasks. Within five working days.
Do you need access to the site or accounts?
Not for the test. For the fixes we need access to what we fix: the site, the Google Business Profile, directory listings. Access can be given for a time and taken away.
How fast are results?
Technical fixes show within a few weeks, content and sources beyond the site take months. So we measure with the same questions once a month and watch the trend.
How much does it cost?
The test is free. We quote the fixes after the test, when it is clear how much work there is. Sometimes it is three fixes, sometimes new pages and profiles.
Is it worth it for a small company?
Yes, and often it works better for a small company: the questions are local, the sources are few, and the fixes can be done within a month. The test will show.
