    What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?

    People are changing how they look for local services. Instead of typing "plumber near me" into Google and scrolling through a list of links, they are opening ChatGPT or Gemini and asking, "Who is a reliable plumber in my town?"

    Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the process of making sure your business is the one these AI assistants recommend. It is about structuring your online presence so that AI can easily find you, understand exactly what you do, and trust you enough to put your name forward.

    How is AI search different from Google SEO?

    Traditional local SEO is about winning the map pack and ranking high in search results. It relies on keywords, backlinks, and website authority.

    AI search is different. An AI assistant does not want to give the user ten options; it wants to give them one correct answer. To be that answer, your business information needs to be clear, consistent, and conversational. AI relies heavily on structured data, verifiable reviews, and content that directly answers questions in plain English.

    How do I get my business recommended by ChatGPT?

    You cannot pay ChatGPT to recommend you. Instead, you have to earn the recommendation by being the most logical answer to the user's question.

    This means ensuring your business details (name, address, phone number) are identical everywhere they appear online. It means building a strong profile of genuine, descriptive customer reviews. And crucially, it means having a website that clearly explains what you do, where you do it, and who you do it for, without relying on marketing jargon.

    Can you influence what AI assistants say about my business?

    Yes. While we do not control the AI itself, we control the information it reads.

    AI models train on and reference the public web. By structuring your website properly, managing your citations across directories, and guiding how your services are described online, we feed the AI the exact information it needs to confidently recommend your business over your competitors.

    How do you measure AI search visibility?

    Measuring AI visibility is not like tracking a Google ranking. There is no single "page one".

    Instead, we measure how often your business is cited as a trusted entity, track your brand mentions across the sources AI assistants rely on, and run regular, structured prompts to see when and how your business is recommended for your core services in your target towns.

    When someone asks ChatGPT for a recommendation, make sure the answer is you.

    People increasingly ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity who to use.

    We structure your online presence so AI assistants can find you, trust you and put your name forward when someone asks for a recommendation in your town.

    Common questions about AI search

    To get recommended by ChatGPT, you need to structure your online presence so AI can easily find and verify your business details. This means consistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone) data, high-quality reviews, and answering direct questions on your website in plain English.

    Yes, by optimising the sources AI assistants pull from. We cannot pay ChatGPT to recommend you, but we can ensure the information it finds about your business is accurate, positive, and structured in a way that makes you the logical answer to a user's question.

    Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the process of making your business the definitive answer when someone asks an AI assistant a question. It focuses on clarity, structure, and providing direct answers, rather than traditional keyword density.

    Traditional Google SEO tries to get your website to appear in a list of search results. AI search aims to provide a single, direct answer. AEO requires clearer formatting, conversational language, and establishing your business as a trusted entity across the web.

    We measure AI search visibility by tracking your brand mentions in AI responses, monitoring your presence in AI-generated summaries, and assessing the quality and consistency of the data AI assistants have about your business.
