# AEO & GEO Services
Improve your findability in AI sources with Answer Engine Optimization & Generative Engine Optimization services. Your buyers aren't just Googling anymore. They're asking ChatGPT which senior living community fits their parent's needs. They're asking Perplexity to compare industrial suppliers. If your business isn't part of that answer, you've lost the buyer before they ever visit your website.
AEO builds on the foundation of [SEO](https://mktgessentials.com/seo/?hsLang=en), with many of the same ranking factors in common, but AI puts extra weight on a few specific factors such as reviews and reputation. If you are not making efforts to improve how you are showing up in AI, your competitors will.

## AEO & GEO Results
If you are unsure if anyone is finding you in AI, you are in the right place. Spot checking and searching yourself can only get you so far. It takes a comprehensive approach of prompt tracking, monitoring referral traffic, citations and grounding queries.
AI tends to drive less traffic than organic search, but those who visit your website from an AI platform are likely to spend more time on your page and fill out a form because they have pre-qualified themselves through the initial AI responses.

Read the case study](https://mktgessentials.com/our-work/optalis-healthcare-seo-ai?hsLang=en)
## Two Disciplines, One Goal
AEO and GEO work differently, and most brands need both.
AEO
### Answer Engine Optimization
AEO makes you the answer.
**What is AEO?**
AEO targets direct answers. The goal is straightforward: when someone asks an AI tool a specific question, your content is what gets pulled back as the response. Methods include short, clear answers, FAQ-structured content, schema markup and semantic optimization.
**How is AEO different from SEO?**
SEO ranks your content in search results. AEO gets your content chosen as the direct answer in AI algorithms, no scrolling required.
AEO strategy needs content built with intention: clear, well-structured and mapped to the questions your buyers are already asking. That's what puts real progress within reach sooner, not years down the road.
GEO
### Generative Engine Optimization
GEO cites you for answers.
**What is GEO?**
GEO is the practice of building your brand into a trusted source AI systems recognize and cite when generating answers.
Where AEO gets you chosen as the direct answer to one specific question, GEO gets your brand referenced across many different questions and responses, over time. It's less about answering a single query and more about becoming the source AI systems reach for when they need credibility behind a claim.
**How is GEO different from AEO?**
AEO works page by page: structure one answer well, and it can get pulled into a response. GEO works at the brand level: it's built through a body of content and a reputation that accumulates over time.
That means the effort looks different too. AEO rewards clear, well-structured content you can act on now. GEO rewards consistency: the backlinks, citations and reviews that build up over months and keep compounding.
## ## How We Partner with You
- #### STEP 1: GET FOUND
### AI Visibility Research & Strategy Audit
***Start by finding out where you stand.***
Most companies have no data on what ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI answers say about them — or whether they come up at all.
The audit gives you that data. We scan your website, evaluate your presence across multiple platforms and analyze how you stack up against competitors in both traditional search and AI-powered recommendations. You get a strategic report that shows where your best opportunities are, including:
- Current AI platform visibility
- Technical SEO issues making you invisible
- Content gaps keeping you out of AI recommendations
- Competitive analysis: who's showing up when you're not
- Prioritized recommendations for maximum impact
Ready to see what your customers see? Let’s uncover your brand’s visibility and turn those insights into measurable growth.

- #### STEP 2: GROW
### AEO/GEO Marketing Programs
***Turn the audit into an ongoing program.***
Building prominence and favorability in AI-generated answers takes time and investment. We offer programs at several levels based on your needs and your size, so you can start where it makes sense and scale from there.
Once your program is in place, we'll build a roadmap for your monthly AEO/GEO strategy, with updates and enhancements such as:
- Building FAQ and structured Q&A content
- Placing clear, concise answers high on the page
- Adding technical markup that helps AI parse your content correctly
- Refreshing content regularly
- Building authority through consistent content and branding
- Earning quality citations and reviews
Continuous monitoring and reporting: As part of your program, we collect data and refine tactics month over month to make sure we're hitting your KPIs. You get monthly reports tracking visibility across AI platforms and referral traffic from AI sources, with plain explanations of the progress toward your goals.
Curious whether AEO, GEO or both make sense for where you are right now? Contact us, and one of our visibility experts will walk you through it.

AEO/GEO
## Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my business is showing up in AI?
We use a combination of monitoring referral traffic, benchmark scores and prompt tracking to measure visibility and success in AI.
Are people really using AI instead of Google?
We’ve found that more and more people are doing their initial research and comparing options on AI platforms. Your audience is having full conversations about your offerings, price and how you stack up to their other options before ever reaching out. And when those searchers do finally contact you, they tend to be super qualified leads because they’ve already done their research.
How do you know AEO/GEO is impacting sales?
People are starting their research with AI instead of Google. If you're not showing up favorably in AI-generated results, you could be losing leads to competitors who are.
If you're a [HubSpot](https://mktgessentials.com/hubspot/?hsLang=en) CRM user, you don't have to guess. HubSpot can show you which visitors came from an AI source and track whether they turn into leads and customers.
