Does AI recommend your business?
We check the questions your customers ask, see which businesses AI recommends, and improve the information it can find about yours.
“Who’s the best one near me?”
I’d start with Your Business — its services and recent reviews appear relevant to what you need.

What is AEO?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization: improving the information AI tools can find about your business and checking when they recommend it.
01
Someone asks
A question in plain language, not a keyword.
02
The engine reads
Your site, your structured data, directories, reviews, and whoever else mentions you.
03
It decides who it trusts
It selects information relevant to the question from the sources available.
04
It names a few
It may suggest options and link to relevant sources.
A customer might ask which roofer handles storm damage nearby, or which product fits a particular budget. An AI tool may suggest businesses, compare options, and link to sources.
We check whether your business appears in those answers and whether the information is accurate. Then we work on the website pages, listings, and other sources that need attention.
The aim is to make your services, experience, locations, and products easier to assess. We track a consistent set of questions so you can see what changes over time.
You may also hear this work called GEO, or Generative Engine Optimization. We use AEO for our service focused on discovery through AI answers.
What Google and OpenAI recommend.
We check your website against the platforms’ published guidance and test whether it appears in relevant answers.
Google Search
Useful content comes first.
Google says there is no special schema markup required for its generative AI search features. Accessible pages, helpful information, and sound search foundations remain the starting point.

Access supports discovery.
OpenAI advises allowing its search crawler to access your site. Search uses multiple factors to find relevant, reliable information; crawler access alone does not guarantee a placement.

The information AI can find about you.
01
Who you are
Your business name, locations, contact details, and services need to be accurate wherever they are published.
02
What you offer
Your pages should explain the work you do, the products you sell, and the practical details a customer needs to choose.
03
What others say
Reviews, directory profiles, and independent coverage give customers and search tools more information to consider.
04
Whether you fit the question
Someone needing an emergency repair is asking for something different from a planned renovation. Your content should make those distinctions clear.
AEO and SEO share much of the same work.
A useful page needs to be accessible before a search tool can use it. That makes website health and clear content relevant to both services.
SEO covers how your pages are found and used in search. AEO adds checks on how AI tools describe and recommend your business for specific customer questions.
We coordinate the work on your website and business profiles, then report on search visits and AI recommendations separately. They are different measures of whether people can find you.
Why we run both
The website work supports both services.
If your website needs technical or content work, our SEO service can address it alongside your AI visibility priorities.
