01 — WHAT IS AEO?

SEO is for search results. AEO is for answers.

More than 1 in 4 searches now end in an AI-generated answer instead of a list of blue links. Answer Engine Optimization is the discipline that determines whether your content gets cited, ignored, or misparaphrased by LLMs.

01
Discoverability
Can an agent actually crawl, understand, and structure your site?
02
Citability
Do you have chunks that stand alone, read authoritatively, and invite quoting?
03
Trust
Does your site match the E-E-A-T signals LLMs use to rank sources?

Within a week of the first scan we saw our brand appear in Perplexity answers where we weren't even mentioned before.

06 — FAQ
Q.01 Isn't AEO just SEO with a new coat of paint?
▸
No. SEO optimizes for 10 blue links; AEO optimizes for 1 generated answer. Ranking factors, content structure, and technical signals differ materially.
Q.02 How often should I scan?
▸
Monthly is a good baseline. On major content updates or model releases (GPT-5, new Claude) we auto-run a delta scan.
Q.03 What exactly is llms.txt?
▸
A convention — similar to robots.txt — that tells LLM crawlers which content may be used, what license applies, and where the canonical sources are.
Q.04 Do you really get live answers from Claude and GPT?
▸
Yes, we use the official APIs with targeted prompts for your domain. Results appear verbatim in the report.
