What we do

Users are no longer scrolling through ten blue links. They ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews for direct answers. If your content isn't structured for Large Language Models to retrieve and cite, you are invisible to the fastest-growing segment of digital discovery. We fix that.

What's included in our AEO programmes

LLM Readiness Audits

We analyse how models like GPT-4 and Gemini currently perceive your brand and identify information gaps and misrepresentations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)?

AEO is the practice of optimising your content, schema markup, and entity relationships so that AI-powered answer engines — like Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and ChatGPT — cite your brand as a trusted, authoritative source in their responses.

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO optimises for ten blue links and page rankings. AEO optimises for direct citation within synthesised AI responses. Both matter, but AEO focuses on the semantic clarity, entity trust, and content structure that LLMs use to decide what to quote.

How do you measure AEO success?

We track AI citation frequency, share of voice in AI responses, brand mention sentiment, and downstream traffic from AI-sourced referrals using a combination of manual testing and monitoring tools.

How long does AEO take to show results?

Initial improvements in AI citation can appear within 2–3 months of content restructuring and schema implementation. Consistent citation at scale typically develops over 6–12 months.

What is GEO — Generative Engine Optimisation?

GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) extends AEO to specifically optimise content for citation by AI-generated responses from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, and AI Overviews. It goes beyond Q&A formatting to include entity clarity, authoritative external citation signals, and structured data depth that LLMs use to determine what sources to trust and quote.

How do I get cited in Google AI Overviews?

Google AI Overviews draw from pages that already rank well and contain clear, direct answers near the top of the page. Key factors are: structured content with direct answers, FAQPage schema markup, strong E-E-A-T signals (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust), and credible external links to and from your site. Our AEO programmes systematically improve all of these signals.

How do I get my brand mentioned by ChatGPT or Perplexity?

ChatGPT and Perplexity pull from web-indexed content, particularly from authoritative sources. To increase citation likelihood: publish in-depth, citable content that directly answers questions in your category; earn mentions and links on authoritative industry publications; maintain consistent entity data across all platforms; and structure content so key facts are clearly extractable. We build all of this into our AEO programmes.
