AI Search Visibility

Your competitors are getting cited by ChatGPT. You are not.

Answer Engine Optimization is the actual technical work that gets your business mentioned by name when ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews answer the questions your customers ask.

The challenge
Buyers are asking AI before they ever land on a website. Which dentist near me takes new patients, they ask ChatGPT. Which general contractor handles a reno like mine, they ask Perplexity. Who is the best fitness studio in this neighbourhood, they ask Claude. The models reply by name, and the names that come up are usually a small handful of businesses that did one thing right: they structured their site so an AI can read it. If your site was built for traditional Google SEO three years ago, the AI engines are skipping past it. Your service pages exist, your reviews exist, but the structure is wrong for machine consumption. We watch this happen daily in cite-met.com, where AI-traffic tracking shows which AI crawlers read a site and how the visitor split between humans, SEO, and AI moves month to month.
How we solve it
AEO is what the work is actually called. It is the layer of technical and editorial work we ship on every Site, Story, Engine, and Studio build so AI engines can read your site and cite it with confidence. We start with an audit: our strategists query ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, OpenAI search, and Google AI Overviews to see what they currently say about you. Then we ship the changes: llms.txt at the root, AI-bot allowlist, FAQPage and HowTo schema on your actual customer questions, PersonJsonLd on the owner with knowsAbout and certifications, entity-rich Organization schema, and content rewrites that match how the engines parse for citation. AEO is included at every tier. We host the site on cite-met.com and track AI traffic monthly so you can watch which AI crawlers read your pages rather than take it on faith.

Key benefits

Named in the answer

When your buyers ask ChatGPT or Perplexity a purchasing question, your business is one of the names the model gives back.

Demand caught earlier

A prospect who got your name from ChatGPT arrives already half-sold. The research step that used to happen on ten browser tabs now happens in one answer, and you are in it.

Visibility that holds as Google shrinks

Blue links keep losing room to AI answers. AEO puts you in the channel that is growing instead of the one that is shrinking, and models tend to keep citing sources they have cited before.

Our process

  1. 01

    AI Visibility Audit

    We put the exact questions your buyers ask to ChatGPT and Perplexity, then to Claude and Gemini, and write down where you show up, where competitors show up, and where nobody does yet.

  2. 02

    Content Architecture Redesign

    We rebuild your pages into entity-rich, internally linked clusters the engines can read and quote without guessing.

  3. 03

    Schema & Markup Implementation

    We ship the structured data the retrieval layer reads: JSON-LD and semantic HTML, plus entity annotations that tell the engine what you are and who you serve.

  4. 04

    Citation Monitoring & Optimization

    We track your mentions across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude every month and tune the content where the citations are thin.

  5. 05

    Competitive Displacement

    We find the queries where a competitor gets cited and you do not, then build the page that gives the engine a better source to pull.

Quick answers

Frequently asked.

Traditional SEO works to push your blue link higher on a Google results page. AEO works to get your brand named when ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity write an answer. SEO leans on keywords and backlinks. AEO leans on entity authority, semantic structure, and content a machine can read and quote.

Most clients see AI citation frequency climb within 60 to 90 days. The effect compounds: the engines reinforce source preferences as they re-index, so the biggest jumps tend to land between months three and six, once your topical authority clusters have settled in.

No. AEO sits on top of your SEO and pulls it forward. The same work that gets you cited by AI (semantic markup, entity optimization, content clustering) also lifts your traditional rankings. Think of AEO as the next layer of search visibility, the one that catches demand in AI-first channels.

We optimize for every major answer engine: ChatGPT and its browsing mode, Google Gemini, Perplexity AI, Anthropic Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and the newer AI search interfaces. Our monitoring tracks how often each one cites you.
