Search Just Changed. Most Agencies Haven't Noticed.

Buyers used to Google your service. Now they ask ChatGPT. They ask Perplexity. They ask Claude. They ask Google's AI Overview. The businesses cited in those answers win the lead. The ones not cited are invisible.

Traditional SEO targets 10 blue links. Answer Engine Optimization targets the cited business in an AI-generated answer. Different game. Same buyer. Bigger prize.

Every service, location, review, and FAQ marked up with structured data so Answer Engines understand exactly what you do, where you do it, and how good you are at it.

2. Entity SEO Build-Out

Google Knowledge Graph entry. Wikidata entry where applicable. Citation network build across the entity sources Answer Engines actually trust.

3. LLM Citation Building

Targeted citation campaigns across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews for your primary service terms in your service area. Tracked monthly. Reported transparently.

6. Monthly Citation Tracking Report

You see exactly where you're cited, where you're not, and what the next move is.

FAQ

How is this different from regular SEO?

SEO targets traditional Google rankings. AEO targets AI-generated answers. The technical work overlaps. The strategy and the deliverables are different. We build the schema, entity, and citation layer that AI search engines actually use.

How fast will I see citations?

Indexing typically takes 30 to 60 days for primary terms. Some clients see citations in 14 days. Slower verticals (med spa in dense markets) take the full 60.

Do I need this if I'm already running ads?

Yes. Ads are paid demand. AEO is earned demand. Stack both and you cover the buyer who clicks and the buyer who asks.

What if my competitors are also doing this?

Almost none are. This is a 12 to 18 month window before the rest of the market catches up. Buy the window.
