The Problem

AI search is replacing Google. Most businesses are invisible.

Traditional SEO doesn't work for AI engines. They don't crawl — they cite authoritative sources. If your business isn't structured for AI extraction, you don't exist.

AI Doesn't See Your Site

Google crawls pages. AI extracts structured data. Without schema markup, FAQ data, and citation signals, AI search engines have nothing to pull from — even if you rank #1 on Google.

Your Traffic Is Disappearing

Google AI Overviews now answer 60% of queries without a single click. Every AI-generated answer that doesn't cite you is a lost customer who never sees your site.

Competitors Are Moving First

Early adopters are getting cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity right now — claiming the "best [service] in [city]" spot before anyone else even knows it exists.

How It Works

Four steps to AI visibility

1

We Audit

We query every AI engine to see where you show up — and where your competitors do instead.

Schema markup, FAQ content, citations, and structured data — everything AI engines need to cite you.

3

We Monitor

Monthly reports tracking your visibility across all AI engines, with trend analysis and gap alerts.

4

You Grow

As AI search becomes the dominant discovery channel, you're already there — recommended, cited, chosen.

Early clients are showing up in ChatGPT and Perplexity recommendations within weeks.

"Went from invisible to the #1 recommendation when people ask ChatGPT for HVAC service in Hartford. Three new clients in the first month — that's $12K in new work from AI alone."

James M.

Owner, Hartford HVAC & Mechanical

★★★★★

"Perplexity now cites our store in every 'best liquor store near me' search. That's free advertising forever. Our walk-in traffic is up 30% from AI-driven discovery."

Robert D.

Owner, CT Fine Wine & Spirits

★★★★★

"We were skeptical about AEO. Two weeks after the audit and schema fixes, Google AI Overviews started summarizing our property management services directly in search results. Our inquiry volume doubled."

FAQ

Common questions about AEO

What's the difference between SEO and AEO?
SEO optimizes for Google's ranking algorithm (crawling, backlinks, keywords). AEO optimizes for AI models that extract and synthesize information rather than ranking pages. AI engines prioritize structured data, authoritative citations, and direct answers — different signals entirely.
How long until I see results?
Schema and technical fixes take effect within days. FAQ content typically surfaces in AI answers within 2-4 weeks. Full citation authority builds over 2-3 months. Every client sees measurable improvement in their first audit report.
Does this work for local businesses?
Yes — local businesses benefit the most. ChatGPT and Perplexity frequently surface "best [service] in [city]" recommendations. If your Google Business Profile, schema markup, and citations are aligned, you become the go-to answer. Local is where AEO has the biggest first-mover advantage right now.
What if ChatGPT already says something wrong about my business?
That's actually the best reason to start. AI models pull from what's available — if accurate structured data about your business doesn't exist, they fill gaps with whatever they find. Our audit identifies every inaccuracy and our foundation package replaces bad data with authoritative, AI-optimized content.
Do I need to keep doing this, or is it one-and-done?
The Foundation package sets you up permanently — schema markup and core citations don't expire. But AI models retrain constantly, new competitors enter, and review signals shift. Our Managed AEO monthly plan keeps you ahead as the landscape evolves. Think of it like gym membership: the Foundation builds the muscle, Managed keeps it strong.
