AEO
Answer engine optimization. The practical work of being mentionable and citable when a person asks a question in ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Gemini, or an AI Overview.
When a buyer asks AI for a company like yours, we work so your name can come up.
When buyers ask AI
We list the questions your buyers actually ask. We check if your company is named. Then we fix the pages those answers can use. You get a clear before and after. We cannot force ChatGPT to recommend you.
Your nameThe answer says your company. That is a mention. It is not a sale.
what you see
Your pageA link sits next to the answer. We improve the page. The AI still chooses.
what you see
A buyerA person who can purchase. That is email and LinkedIn, a separate job.
not the same thing
If customers look for a place, the same work covers ChatGPT’s local answers and map cards. Showing up is measured. It is not guaranteed.

Generative engine optimization. The same problem, named from the model’s side: whether generated answers can find, trust, and quote the site. It is not a second product with a secret markup.
The foundation underneath both. If a page cannot be crawled, canonicalized, and understood, an AI search product that uses the web has little to retrieve. How they differ.
An engagement starts with the questions a buyer actually asks, not a keyword list. Core is 50 of them. Scale is 200. Authority is 400. Prices and what each month includes are on packages. Three months, one brand, one site, one market.
The questions, the date, whether your name appeared, and which pages we changed. Then we check the same questions again, so you can see what moved.
First place. A map pin. A set number of leads. We also will not hide text or fake reviews to trick an AI.
The longer explanations live on their own pages, in the same voice, so a person can use them without hiring anyone.
How ChatGPT Search differs from a chat that never looks at the web, how to check OAI-SearchBot, and what to fix before you blame the model.
Where the words overlap, and how to decide which work a business actually needs.
A mention, a citation, a referral, and a lead are four different events. One answer is not a ranking.
What consistent business information can do, and what no one can promise about a map result.
The question list, the baseline across the four products in scope, and the first pages. Technical blocks — a robots rule, a wrong canonical, a page that only exists after a click — are fixed before new copy is written. The method is on method.
Core is $2,500 a month. Scale is $5,000. Authority is $8,500. Each is three months. The difference is the number of questions and the amount of page work, not a promise of a higher place in an answer. See the packages.
