AI visibility audit: what ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews say about you today
Entity setup so AI tools understand who you are, where you work and what you do
Organization, LocalBusiness, Service and FAQ schema
Answer-first content: the exact questions customers ask, answered clearly
Citation and mention building on the sources AI tools trust
Review strategy that feeds the details AI answers quote
Monthly AI answer tracking across the major assistants

More of your customers now ask an AI assistant before they ever click a link. "Who is the best roofer in Clearwater?" gets one answer, maybe three names. If you are not one of them, you are not in the running.

AI assistants build those answers from sources they trust: your website, your Google Business Profile, review sites, local press, directories and structured data. AEO makes sure every one of those sources tells the same clear story about your business, in a format machines can read and quote.

Why it pairs with local SEO

AI tools lean heavily on the same signals Google uses. Strong local SEO makes AEO work faster, and AEO makes your local SEO work harder. That is why the two sit next to each other on the menu.

How it works

The recipe for AEO.

1. Audit

3. Execute

Schema, entity pages, answer-first content, citations and review prompts.

Is AEO different from SEO?

It builds on SEO. SEO gets you ranked in search results. AEO gets you quoted inside AI answers. The foundations overlap, but AEO adds entity work, structured data and answer-first content.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend me?

No one can. AI answers change and vary by user. What we can do is make your business the clearest, best supported option, and track how often you get named over time.

Which AI tools do you track?

ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity and Microsoft Copilot, plus any new assistant your customers start using.
