What is Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)?
Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) is the practice of optimizing your business content to appear in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and other AI search tools.
While traditional SEO focuses on ranking in search results, AEO ensures your business is the answer when AI systems respond to customer queries. This means being cited, recommended, and surfaced directly in AI conversations — without users ever clicking through to a search results page.
Why AEO Matters for Your Business
When someone asks ChatGPT "best plumber in Glasgow" or "AI website builder for small business," your business needs to be in that answer. If you're not optimized for AEO, your competitors will be recommended instead.
Why AEO is Critical for Your Business

Brands using AEO see 3x more visibility in AI answers versus SEO-only approaches.

Pages using schema markup see 58% higher visibility in AI snippets and answers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between SEO and AEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) focuses on ranking in traditional search results. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) focuses on being cited and recommended by AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Both are important, but AEO is critical for the future as more searches end without clicks.
How long does AEO take to show results?
AEO results can appear faster than traditional SEO. Schema markup and structured data changes can be picked up by AI systems within 2-4 weeks. Full entity building and authority signals may take 3-6 months to fully mature.
Do I still need traditional SEO if I have AEO?
Yes. SEO and AEO work together. SEO ensures you rank in traditional search results, while AEO ensures AI systems recommend your business. We include both in our Growth and Premium plans for maximum visibility.
Is AEO only for large businesses?
Not at all! AEO is especially valuable for small and local businesses. When someone asks ChatGPT for a local recommendation, being the cited answer gives you massive competitive advantage. Most small businesses haven't optimized for AEO yet — now is your first-mover opportunity.
