Our proven 90-day methodology transforms your brand from invisible to AI-recommended. Here's exactly how we do it.
How AEO works: Answer Engine Optimization follows a systematic process of auditing your current AI visibility, implementing technical foundations (Schema markup, structured data), building entity authority across the web, and optimizing content to be citation-ready. Unlike SEO which focuses on page rankings, AEO optimizes for AI engines to select and cite your content as the trusted answer.
AI search engines don't just crawl your website—they synthesize information from across the web to form opinions about your brand. They assess:
Our 90-day methodology systematically addresses each of these dimensions to build comprehensive AI search visibility.
Before optimization, we need to understand exactly where you stand with each AI search engine.
We query ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and trigger Google AI Overviews with questions your ideal customers are asking. We document exactly what each AI says about your brand and category.
We analyze your existing Schema markup, structured data implementation, content architecture, and entity representation. This identifies the technical gaps preventing AI citation.
Based on the audit, we calculate your baseline AI Answer Readiness Score (0-100). This score becomes your benchmark for measuring progress. Most B2B brands start between 15-35.
We implement the technical infrastructure that AI engines need to understand and trust your content.
We implement comprehensive JSON-LD Schema markup: Organization, Product, Service, FAQ, HowTo, Article, and Person schemas.
We restructure key pages with Position Zero formatting, clear entity definitions, and citation-ready content blocks.
We add author bios, credentials, "last updated" dates, source citations, and trust signals throughout your site.
By day 30, your website has the technical infrastructure for AI engines to properly parse, categorize, and trust your content. Initial improvements in AI Overviews may begin appearing.
We build the external signals that establish your brand as a trusted entity in AI knowledge graphs.
We ensure your brand entity (name, description, category, key facts) is represented consistently across Google Knowledge Panel, Wikipedia (if eligible), LinkedIn, Crunchbase, industry directories, and authoritative databases.
We identify opportunities for authoritative sources to reference your brand. This includes expert quotes in publications, industry reports, podcasts, and other content that AI engines weigh heavily when forming recommendations.
We fine-tune your content for maximum citation probability and establish ongoing measurement.
We create "answer blocks" — concise, citation-ready content snippets that directly address common questions in your category. These become the quotes AI engines pull into responses.
We implement tracking to monitor when and how AI engines mention your brand. This includes regular AI engine testing and Google Search Console analysis for AI Overview appearances.
We measure your ending AI Answer Readiness Score and compare against your Day 1 baseline. Most clients see a 40-60 point improvement.
