01The Problem

AI search is replacing Google. Your business might be invisible.

Traditional SEO gets you ranked on Google. AEO gets you cited by AI. They require completely different signals — and most local businesses have zero AEO in place.

AI reads structure, not rankings

ChatGPT and Perplexity don't use the same signals as Google. They pull from structured data, FAQ content, directory citations, and Google Business Profile descriptions. If those aren't optimized, you don't exist to AI.

Early movers are taking the leads

Most local businesses haven't set up AEO yet. The ones that have are capturing a disproportionate share of AI-referred customers. That window closes fast as the market catches up.

Fixing it takes expertise, not just time

JSON-LD schema markup, AI-optimized FAQ pages, GBP description rewrites, and citation submissions across 60+ directories. It's not complicated — but it requires knowing exactly what each AI engine looks for.

The cost of invisibility compounds

Every month you're not in AI results, a competitor is. Leads lost today build relationships with other businesses. AEO is a time-sensitive competitive advantage — not a future consideration.

03What We Optimize

Every signal AI uses to recommend your business.

Six optimization layers that together determine whether AI engines cite you — or your competitor.

Google Business Profile

Your GBP description, service categories, Q&A, and photo freshness are primary signals for every AI engine. We rewrite and fully optimize the complete profile.

Structured Data (JSON-LD)

Schema markup across all your service pages makes your business quotable by AI. We implement Organization, Service, LocalBusiness, and FAQPage schemas.

Directory Citations (60+)

Yelp, Yext, BBB, Angi, Thumbtack, Apple Maps, Bing Places — plus 53 more US-focused directories. Citation consistency and volume tell AI engines your business is established and trustworthy.

FAQ Content Optimization

FAQ pages are the single highest-weight AEO signal. We write and publish 10+ AI-optimized questions targeting exactly how customers phrase searches to AI.

AI Review Signals

Review velocity, sentiment, and response quality feed directly into AI recommendations. We automate review requests and craft responses that reinforce your AEO signals.

Monthly AI Visibility Reports

We track and report how your business appears across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, and Gemini each month — so you see exactly what's improving and what's next.

05FAQ

Common questions, straight answers.

AEO is the process of optimizing your business so it appears when people search using AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — not just traditional Google. It involves structured data markup, FAQ content, Google Business Profile optimization, and citations across key directories. These are entirely different signals from standard SEO.
Full optimization is delivered within 5 business days of signup. Most businesses start appearing in AI search results within 2–6 weeks of implementation. The timeline depends on how quickly AI engines re-crawl and update their knowledge bases.
The free audit checks whether your business appears in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Gemini for your key service categories and city. It scores your structured data, Google Business Profile completeness, and citation coverage — and shows exactly where you rank versus local competitors. We run it for you and send the full report within 24 hours.
AEO is a monthly managed service because AI search algorithms evolve continuously — new signals, new platforms, shifting ranking factors. We offer four tiers: AEO Starter ($997/mo, 1 location), AEO Growth ($1,497/mo, 3 locations), AEO Authority ($2,497/mo, 5 locations), and Enterprise (custom, 10+ locations). The first month establishes your foundation. Ongoing months maintain and expand your visibility as AI engines update how they surface local businesses.
Tier 1 (AEO Starter) covers a single location at $997/month. Tier 2 (AEO Growth, $1,497/month) includes 3 locations with additional locations at $397/month each. Tier 3 (AEO Authority, $2,497/month) includes 5 locations with extras at $297/month each. Enterprise (10+ locations) is custom-priced — usually $150–200 per location per month at volume.
Dentists, law firms, plumbers, HVAC companies, real estate agents, and any local service business where customers search "best [service] near me" see the strongest results. These are exactly the query types where AI search is replacing traditional Google — and where being first to optimize creates a durable advantage.
We add structured data markup (JSON-LD) and a FAQ page to your existing website — minimal changes, major impact. For Google Business Profile and directory citations, there's nothing for you to do. We handle everything. Your website stays intact and your current SEO is unaffected.
