Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) Consulting

Get Found in AI-Powered Search – Before Your Competitors Do


Traditional SEO isn’t enough anymore.

Answer Engines are AI-driven search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Mode that are rewriting the rules of visibility.

You won’t rank if your site isn’t structured to answer real questions with trustworthy content. That’s where AEO comes in.

What Is AEO?

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization.

It’s a focused process that helps your content surface in AI-generated responses instead of just traditional search results. Think of it as the next evolution of SEO, designed for how people search now, not five years ago.

If you want to appear in:

  • AI Overviews or AI Mode in Google Search
  • Featured responses in Perplexity and ChatGPT
  • Smart answers in tools like Claude, Gemini, and more

Then AEO needs to be part of your strategy.


Why AEO Matters Now

You’re no longer just competing for keyword rankings. You’re competing for visibility inside the answers themselves.

AI tools don’t just crawl your site. They extract what sounds the most useful, clear, and trustworthy.

If your content is:

  • Buried in fluff
  • Lacking author transparency
  • Missing structured data
  • Ignoring question-based search intent
  • Stuffed with keywords

…it’s getting skipped. Even if your SEO was “good enough” before.


What You’ll Get from AEO Consulting

This isn’t just a checklist. You’ll get hands-on guidance and strategic fixes based on what works today in AI-powered results.

Each AEO engagement includes:

✅ Site-wide content audit for AI readiness
✅ Audit of N-E-E-A-T-T (Notability, Experience, Expertise, Authority, Trust, Transparency) factors
✅ Structured data and schema improvement plan
✅ Content restructuring to align with real search intent
✅ Pages and topics prioritized by AI search opportunity
✅ Keyword-to-question mapping for Answer Engine visibility
✅ Consultation on how to write and publish content that AI models will want to include

We also identify how to connect your content to off-page signals—mentions, links, and credibility cues that influence which sources AI trusts most.


Who Can Benefit from AEO?

  • Mid-sized companies with solid content that isn’t pulling in leads
  • B2B firms whose ideal buyers ask detailed questions in AI tools
  • Brand new startups who are just building out a new website, and need to get it right
  • Marketers frustrated by slipping Google performance but unsure what changed
  • Teams looking to update their SEO strategy without chasing every algorithm tweak

If you rely on organic traffic (or want to), AEO is no longer optional.


Why Work With Me

I’ve been helping businesses succeed online since the earliest days of SEO.

Today, I bring that experience into the AI era with a tool-agnostic framework that blends marketing strategy with content science. I also built the HAIF (Human + AI Framework) model, which powers everything I do.

With AEO, my job is to help your team:

  • Understand what AI tools look for
  • Make your content meet those standards
  • Show up where it matters most—in the answers themselves

You don’t need another agency. You need a strategic advisor who understands the shift and can guide you through it without reinventing everything.
