What is Answer Engine Optimization (AE0)
Simply put, answer engine optimization is the art of making your business the definitive answer - not just another option. We roll this into all of our SEO work.
As search evolves, people aren't just Googling short keywords anymore. They're asking full questions of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Siri, Alexa and AI-powered search results like Google's new Gemini AI Overviews.
...And if your business isn't positioned to be THE answer, you're invisible.
AEO is How We Make You Visible. Everywhere.
We structure your content, brand and online presence so that when someone asks "big daddy" money questions:
- "What's the best roofing company near me?"
- "Who moves offices in Chicago?"
- "How much does water damage restoration cost?"
...you show up as the trusted expert.
Search engine results pages (SERPS) are increasingly showing direct answers to users - creating a new - and sometimes frustrating "zero-click" rank position.
The Goal of AEO
To make your business the most relevant, most trusted source for the kinds of questions your customers are asking across all search platforms - or answer engines - not just Google and their answer boxes.
How We Do AEO
Answer engine optimization is the process of structuring content, site and brand presence so that AI-powered search tools can easily understand, trust and recommend your business as the best answer to user questions.
Now, alongside ranking for key terms in traditional SEO where your page title is a link in blue, AEO gets you into the answers directly - where the attention (and clicks) now go for many types of search terms.
- Rich featured snippets
- Direct answers in AI search summaries
- Brand mentions inside conversational AI tools like ChatGPT Perplexity AI, and DeepSeek
- Visibility in voice and zero-click search
Why This Matters Now
The top spot in Google isn't what it used to be. In many cases, Google's own AI Overviews often take over the entire top of the page (above the fold, meaning you have to scroll to see other results).
Even when you rank #1, you're often buried under answers generated by Google's algorithm, using someone else's content. That someone should be you.
This is a new type of online visibility that has its own rules and benefits. AEO and SEO are not the same thing. But they do compliment each other and can even inform each other. AI chatbots
AEO aims to make your content optimized for what powers those AI answers, not your competitors.'
Remember, Google doesn't produce any content, and is basically a 1-page website.

- Get featured in AI-generated answers across platforms
- Outrank competitors with fewer backlinks
