AEO, or Answer Engine Optimisation, is the next evolution of SEO, focused on making your content discoverable and trusted by AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, and voice assistants such as Alexa and Siri.
Traditional SEO boosts your Google rankings, while AEO ensures your content is chosen as the answer in conversational AI and voice searches.
You are not alone. These are the challenges we help businesses navigate as AI-powered search replaces traditional Google searches.
Potential customers ask AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity for recommendations in your industry, but instead of recommending your business, your competitors are cited as trusted sources. You are invisible to the fastest-growing search channel.
Your traditional SEO is solid, and you are ranking on page one of Google’s search results, but when someone asks an AI tool, your brand is nowhere to be found. AI search is not just scraping Google rankings; it prioritises different signals.
You know AI search is evolving, and with that comes the increase in voice search, but you have no idea how to optimise for it. You are watching the search landscape transform whilst your competitors adapt, and you fall behind.
AI-powered search is not an idea of the future; it is already here and growing exponentially. Traditional SEO alone is no longer enough.
ChatGPT has 900 million weekly users. Google AI Overviews appear in 18% of searches. Voice search accounts for 50% of mobile searches. Traditional SEO ranks you on Google, but AEO gets you chosen as the answer by AI tools, replacing Google.
AI answers questions directly without sending users to websites. You can rank on Google and receive zero traffic because AI provides answers without requiring clicks. You must become the source AI cites.
Most businesses optimise exclusively for Google, whilst AI tools dominate search and ignore their content. Once AI establishes your brand as a trusted source, authority compounds.
Every AEO strategy we develop follows our proven process designed to make your brand the trusted source AI tools choose when answering questions.

Your questions – answered.
Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) makes your content discoverable and trusted by AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and voice assistants.
Traditional SEO boosts Google rankings. AEO ensures your content is chosen as the answer AI provides. AI prioritises structured data, conversational content, and authoritative sources over traditional SEO signals.
Traditional SEO optimises for Google rankings whereas AEO optimises for being cited as the trusted source in AI-generated responses and voice search.
SEO focuses on keywords and backlinks compared to AEO which focuses on structured data, conversational patterns, and question-focused content.
Both are ESSENTIAL!
Both AEO and GEO optimise your content to be cited by AI-powered search tools.
The key difference is AEO emphasises the question-and-answer nature whereas GEO emphasises the AI technology, but both share the same goal of making your brand the trusted source AI cites.
Yes.
AEO and traditional SEO work together, not as replacements. Traditional SEO maintains Google rankings and organic traffic. AEO expands visibility into AI responses and voice search.
The most successful brands integrate both for complete search visibility. We provide integrated strategies that strengthen both.
We track visibility in AI responses across major platforms, featured snippet rankings, voice search traffic, branded search volume, referral traffic from AI tools, and organic growth.
We monitor how often your brand is cited versus competitors and provide clear reporting showing exactly where your content appears in AI-powered search results.
Absolutely.
Voice search is critical for local businesses. People are increasingly asking voice search tools questions that prompt business recommendations such “Alexa, find a plumber near me” or “Hey Google, best Italian restaurant nearby.”
We implement local schema markup, optimise for conversational local queries, and ensure voice assistants recommend your business for location-based searches.
