Answer engine optimization services
We make your pages the source answer engines quote. Answer engine optimization (AEO) structures your content, entities and schema so ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews can extract your answer and cite your brand.
AEO services make a brand’s content easy for AI systems to retrieve, trust and quote. We map the questions buyers ask, close entity and schema gaps, restructure pages for answer extraction and track citations on each engine every month.
What our AEO services include
Prompt and question research
We build the set of prompts your buyers type into AI assistants and the questions behind them, and track them as your priority query set.
Entity and schema coverage
We find the entity gaps that keep engines from connecting your brand to a topic, and close them with content and structured data.
Content built for answer extraction
Direct answers, clear headings, tables and definitions that retrieval systems can lift without losing the meaning.
llms.txt and technical AEO
Crawl access for AI agents, llms.txt, and the technical fixes that keep your pages on the indices answer engines retrieve from.
Citation and share-of-voice tracking
How often each engine cites or mentions you against your competitors, measured on a fixed query set and reported monthly.
Off-page AEO
Mentions on the sources engines already trust for your topic, from roundups and reviews to industry publications.

AEO services: common questions
What do AEO services include?
Prompt and question research, entity and schema coverage, content structured for answer extraction, llms.txt and technical AEO, off-page mentions, and monthly citation and share-of-voice tracking.
How do you measure AEO results?
Against a baseline: citation share on your priority queries, share of voice against your competitors, the queries where you are the cited source, and the sessions and conversions AI assistants send you.
How long does AEO take?
It depends on your authority and your competition. The B2B SaaS platform on this page moved from 6% to 34% AI citation share in six months.
Do you still do SEO?
Yes. Answer engines retrieve from search indices, so every AEO program includes the SEO work that keeps your pages ranking on them.
What does it cost?
Every engagement starts with the AI visibility audit at 800 EUR, which includes a one-hour call. The AEO program is then priced from the scope the audit sets.
