🇺🇸 Happy 250th Birthday, America!
AEO, GEO & AI SEO

AI SEO & AEO agency
for service businesses

We are an AI SEO and answer engine optimization agency for local and regional service businesses. We engineer your brand so ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini recognize it, recommend it and send you leads.

The short version

What AEO, GEO and AI SEO mean.

Answer engine optimization, shortened to AEO, is the practice of getting your business named inside the answers AI engines write. Someone asks ChatGPT for a roofer in their county, or asks Google for the best local contractor, and the engine returns a short answer with a handful of businesses in it. AEO is the work that puts you in that handful.

It goes by a few names. Generative engine optimization, or GEO, means the same thing. AI SEO is what most business owners call it, because in practice you are doing SEO and AEO with the same assets: a clean entity, accurate structured data, real reviews, and citations on sources the models trust.

We are an answer engine optimization agency for local and regional service businesses, and we measure the result instead of describing it. The free check below queries the major engines with your industry and market and shows you, engine by engine, who they name today.

AEO
Being named in the answer an AI engine writes.
GEO
Generative engine optimization: another name for the same work.
SEO
Ranking in the list of links underneath the answer.
AI SEO
Running both as one system, which is how we do it.
Services

What our AI SEO and AEO agency does.

Six pieces of work. Bought together as a retainer, or started with the piece your visibility check says is weakest.

AI answer monitoring

Recurring probes across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Gemini so you know who gets named for the questions your buyers ask.

Entity optimization

Schema, sameAs references, credentials and a service graph that lets a model state clearly who you are and what you do.

Answer shaped content

Question headings, direct answers, data lines and comparison tables written so an engine can quote a whole sentence without rewriting it.

Citation and review presence

Directories, press, podcasts, review platforms and Google Business Profile: the third party sources answer engines lean on.

Local AEO

City and county level answer coverage, so the recommendation names you in the market you actually serve.

Reporting you can check

A monthly scorecard: what share of target questions name you, which engine, and what moved since last month.

Coverage

ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini.

We optimize for every answer engine that already replaced the search bar for your prospects, and add new ones the moment they launch.
