AEO Service FAQ
Common questions about AI search optimization.
What is the difference between AEO and GEO?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) targets answer engines and AI assistants that respond to user questions directly. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) focuses on being cited inside generative AI responses and AI Overviews. We treat them as one combined program.
Which AI models do you optimize for?
We monitor and optimize for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, Grok, and Google AI Overviews — the engines that currently drive the majority of AI-mediated discovery.
How do you measure AEO results?
We sample real answers from major AI models for your target questions and track citation share, mention accuracy, and source attribution over time, reported monthly in USD-billed engagements.
Do I still need traditional SEO?
Yes — AI engines heavily rely on search indexes and quality signals. AEO works best on top of solid technical SEO, which is why our plans integrate both.
How is pricing handled in USD?
All English-language engagements are billed in US dollars: a one-time Foundation setup from $799, or ongoing monthly plans from $499/month. No hidden fees, cancel anytime with 30 days notice.
