    Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) agency

    When someone asks a question, answer engines give one answer rather than ten links. AEO is the work of making sure that answer comes from you and mentions you. We structure your pages so AI can lift a clean answer, mark them up so machines know what they are, and back them with the proof engines look for.

    Same work, different names

    AEO, GEO, AI SEO and AI search optimization overlap almost entirely. AEO puts the emphasis on answering questions well; GEO puts it on generative engines like ChatGPT. In practice, the work is the same, and we do all of it.

    What happened when we did the work.

    Ocala Eye · Ocala, Florida

    From third place, or nowhere, to the first answer on Google's AI Overview.

    Ask Google for the best cataract surgery in Ocala and the AI Overview names Ocala Eye, then lists three of its surgeons by name. Enquiries from ChatGPT and Claude are growing too.

    Then this email from Dr. Peter Polack, one of the partners, landed in my inbox.

    "Zora was the only one whose practice showed up on AI search."

    At ASCRS, a major ophthalmology meeting, a class on AI in marketing asked everyone to take out their phones and ask AI for the best cataract practice in their town. Only one practice in the room showed up: Ocala Eye.

    "Thought you would like to know, it is actually working!"

    Before you decide

    Questions people ask

    What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?

    AEO is the practice of structuring content so search and AI engines can pull a direct answer from it: Google AI Overviews, featured snippets, ChatGPT, Perplexity and voice assistants. The goal is to be the source the answer is built from.

    What's the difference between AEO and GEO?

    They overlap heavily. AEO grew out of featured snippets and voice search and focuses on answering questions clearly. GEO focuses on generative engines and on being recommended, which also depends on reputation and third-party mentions. A good programme covers both.

    Does AEO help with Google AI Overviews?

    Yes, that's one of the main targets. Clear, answer-first pages with good structured data, from a site Google already trusts, are what AI Overviews tend to cite. See How do I show up in Google AI Overviews?.

    How is AEO different from SEO?

    SEO competes for a ranked position. AEO competes to be the answer itself, often in places with no click at all. That changes how pages are written: the answer comes first, in plain language, then the detail.

    How much does AEO cost?

    Our Sprint starts at $5,000 and includes the AEO work along with everything else that makes AI recommend you. The Blueprint ($497) and Plan ($27) are smaller starting points. See pricing.
