FAQ

Questions, answered.

01 What is AEO?
Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of getting your brand cited inside the answers AI engines generate. Where SEO optimizes for a ranked list of links, AEO optimizes for being named in the synthesized response a buyer actually reads.
02 How is this different from SEO?
SEO competes for keyword rankings on a results page. AEO competes for citations inside an answer. The signals differ: engines weight structured definitions, FAQ schema, and third-party mentions on Reddit, Wikipedia, and G2 far more heavily than raw backlinks.
03 How long until I see results?
Most clients see citation share-of-voice move within 30 to 90 days. Answer pages and schema can be picked up within weeks; seeded citations compound over the following months as engines re-crawl their sources.
04 What if AI engines change their algorithms?
The work is durable because it is grounded in fundamentals, not tricks. Clear definitions, real third-party authority, and structured content stay valuable regardless of model updates. We track every engine weekly and adjust as ranking behavior shifts.
05 Can I do this in-house?
You can. Most founders find the bottleneck is not knowledge but consistent execution across four engines, thirty queries, and ongoing citation seeding. We handle the systematic part so you keep shipping product.
06 Who do you work with?
Bootstrapped and early-stage B2B SaaS founders who have a working product and want to be the brand AI recommends in their category. We work best when there is a clear buyer-intent question your product genuinely answers.
07 Which engines do you test against?
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews. We score each engine independently because a brand can be strong in one and invisible in another — and that gap is usually where the fastest wins are.
08 What do I get on the free scan?
Five buyer-intent queries run against one engine, returned as a one-page snapshot within 24 hours. It shows where you are cited, where you are not, and the single highest-leverage gap to close first.
