AEO, AIO, & GEO

(Answer Engine, Artificial Intelligence, and Generative Engine Optimization)

AI is changing how people search the internet and the results they find. When someone asks ChatGPT for recommendations or gets a quick answer from Google’s AI Overview, is your business showing up? That’s where AIO and GEO come in. You might think of them as SEO for the AI era. With these strategies, we can help your business become a source that AI tools cite, quote, and recommend to users.

AI doesn’t browse websites like humans do. It looks for trustworthy and authoritative information it can confidently share. Our job is to package your expertise in a way AI understands and trusts. We’ve studied how these systems work and what makes them choose one business over another. While your competitors are still playing catch-up and trying to figure out what AI tools mean for marketing, we’re already getting our clients featured in AI responses.
