AI Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
Google's blue links are no longer the only front door to your business. Increasingly, customers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI Overview a question and get a direct answer with zero clicks to any website - unless yours is the one being cited. We structure your content, data and technical markup so AI models find, trust and recommend you: a search visibility channel almost no Irish competitor is optimising for yet.
What's included in an AEO engagement
Structured for AI citation
Content and schema markup formatted the way AI models actually parse and cite sources, not just how a classic search crawler reads a page.
Answer-first content
Pages rewritten to directly answer the exact questions your customers are asking AI assistants, in the format models prefer to quote.
AI visibility tracking
Regular checks of how - and whether - ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews reference your business for key questions.
Entity & citation building
Building your business's presence and consistency across the data sources AI models draw on.
Technical AI-readiness
Structured data and clean semantic HTML so AI crawlers can parse your site properly - most sites currently can't.
Works alongside traditional SEO
AEO doesn't replace Google SEO - it's layered on top, sharing the same content investment across both channels.

- Content restructuring for answer-first, citation-friendly formatting

AI Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) - frequently asked questions
What is Answer Engine Optimization?
AEO is the practice of structuring your website and content so AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI Overview understand, trust and cite your business when answering a relevant question - the equivalent of SEO for the AI-search era.
Does this replace SEO?
No - AEO builds on the same content and technical foundation as traditional SEO. Most of the work (clear structure, authoritative content, clean technical markup) benefits both channels at once.
How do you measure results?
We track how often and how accurately your business is referenced across major AI assistants for your key questions, alongside referral traffic from AI platforms where visible in analytics.
