Get found in AI Overviews and AI chat answers, not just search results.

More local searches are ending in an AI-generated answer instead of a list of blue links. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) are about structuring your site so those systems can actually understand and surface your business.

What's Included

What you get

Structured Q&A Content

Content organized in clear question-and-answer blocks — the format AI answer engines pull from most reliably.

Schema & Structured Data

Machine-readable markup that tells search engines and AI systems exactly what your business does and where.

Consistent, AI-Visible Info

Your business details kept accurate and consistent everywhere an AI system might pull from.

What AEO/GEO actually means, in plain terms

When someone asks ChatGPT or a Google AI Overview "who's a good plumber near me," the answer comes from somewhere — usually a mix of your site's structured content, your Google Business Profile, and how consistently your business is described across the web. AEO/GEO work is about making sure that description is accurate, well-structured, and actually points to you.

This is a newer discipline than traditional SEO, and honestly, it's still evolving. We're not going to oversell it — no one can promise a specific answer engine will surface your business for a specific query. What we do is build your site the way answer engines actually consume content: clear Q&A structure, solid schema markup, and consistent facts about your business everywhere they might be pulled from.

How this is different from regular SEO

Traditional SEO optimizes for a list of ranked links. AEO/GEO optimizes for being the source an AI system pulls from to generate a direct answer — a different (and less mature) target, which is why it's offered as its own focused service rather than bundled silently into general SEO.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is AEO/GEO?

Answer Engine Optimization and Generative Engine Optimization — structuring your site's content so AI systems like ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews can accurately understand and surface your business.

How is this different from regular SEO?

Regular SEO targets ranked search results; AEO/GEO targets AI-generated answers and chat responses specifically. They overlap, but aren't the same thing.

Can you guarantee my business shows up in ChatGPT's answers?

No — this is genuinely new territory and no one can honestly guarantee specific AI-answer placement. We apply current best practices and are transparent that this field is still evolving.

Do I need this in addition to regular SEO?

It's a complement, not a replacement — most businesses benefit from both traditional local SEO and AEO/GEO-specific structuring.

Isn't this already included in my $249/mo Website + Visibility plan?

Partly. The Visibility plan includes basic AI-visibility signals — structured data (schema) and consistent business info across your site and listings. This service covers the deeper work: structured Q&A content and more thorough AEO/GEO structuring, quoted separately.

Is there an extra cost to deploy my website?

No — deployment is free. Getting your finished site live is part of every plan, at no extra charge.

Does the price include my domain and hosting?

No — the domain and hosting themselves aren't included, since those are billed directly by your provider and the account stays in your name. But we'll guide you through choosing a provider and completing the purchase at no extra cost — we're never the hosting company of record.
