AEO for service businesses

Is your business getting mentioned?

Your customers aren't scrolling Google anymore. They're asking ChatGPT who to call. If AI doesn't say your name, you don't get the job.

The shift

SEO as you know it is dead.

For 20 years the game was simple. Rank on page one, get the click, win the customer. That's not how people find a plumber, a lawyer or a dentist anymore. They ask AI, it gives them a short answer with a few names, and they call one of them. No page two. Often no click at all.

Old SEO

The way it was
  • Fight for a spot in 10 blue links
  • Customer scrolls, compares, clicks around
  • Win with keywords and backlinks
  • Success means ranking

AEO

The way it is now
  • AI gives one answer with a handful of names
  • Customer trusts it and calls who's named
  • Win by being the business AI trusts and cites
  • Success means getting mentioned

So what's AEO?

AEO/ answer engine optimization /noun

Making sure AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google's AI Overviews know your business, trust it, and recommend it by name when customers ask.

You might also hear it called AIEO (AI engine optimization) or GEO (generative engine optimization). Same goal: be the name in the answer. Read the full explainer →

Be known

AI has to know you exist and what you do. That means your name, services, location and details line up everywhere it looks.

Be trusted

AI leans on what other people say about you. Reviews, directories, local press and roundups are the proof it looks for.

Be the answer

Your site has to clearly answer the questions customers actually ask AI, so it's easy to pull from and cite.

How we work

From invisible to recommended in four steps.

Start with a free audit

    AI visibility audit

    We ask every major AI the questions your customers ask. You see exactly who gets named, who doesn't, and why.

  2. 2

    Fix the foundation

    We clean up your business info, listings and website so AI can read you clearly and stops guessing.

  3. 3

    Earn the mentions

    We get you talked about on the sites AI trusts, and build answer-ready content that's easy for it to cite.

  4. 4

    Track and grow

    Every month you see where you're mentioned, on which AI, for which questions, and what we're doing next.

Built for service businesses

Straight answers

Is SEO really dead?

The old playbook is. A good website still matters, and it feeds what AI knows about you. But ranking isn't the finish line anymore. Getting named in the answer is.

Can you guarantee AI will recommend me?

No, and nobody honest can. AI answers change all the time. What we do is stack the odds in your favor and show you the results every month, so you're never guessing.

How long does it take?

Your audit comes back within a few business days. Some fixes show up fast. Earning trust across the web takes steady work over a few months.

What does it cost?

Plans run $799, $1,499 or $2,499 a month depending on how hands-on you want us. The audit is free, so you'll know exactly where you stand before you spend a dollar.

I already have an SEO agency. Do I need this?

Ask them one question: "Which AI platforms recommend us, and for what?" If they can't answer, you've got a gap.
