Yes. Traditional SEO is still the foundation, but it now gets buried under AI Overviews in Google and ignored by users going to ChatGPT or Perplexity. That is why we extend SEO into AI Search Optimization (AISEO), Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), so you show up in links and AI answers. ### What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)? Answer Engine Optimization is the process of making sure your brand is the one AI tools like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity recommend when people ask questions. Unlike SEO, which ranks pages, AEO gets your business mentioned directly inside AI-generated answers. ### What is the difference between SEO, AISEO, AEO, and GEO? SEO is optimizing for traditional Google and Bing links. AISEO is optimizing so your brand content is surfaced inside AI-powered search results. AEO is structuring your brand to be the actual answer AI platforms recommend. GEO is optimizing for large language models like ChatGPT and Claude, ensuring they can retrieve and cite your brand. ### How do I show up in Google AI Overviews? To appear in Google AI Overviews, your brand needs strong entity signals so Google knows who you are, structured content that answers questions directly, and consistent reputation signals such as reviews, citations and authority mentions. Agency AEO specializes in aligning all three so your brand can be pulled into Google AI answers. ### Can I get my business recommended by ChatGPT? Yes. ChatGPT pulls from authoritative data, trusted sources, and structured brand signals. By optimizing your entity data, citations, and content, we increase the odds that your business is the one ChatGPT cites when users ask industry-specific questions. ### How do I know if my brand appears in AI answers? The fastest way is through an AI Visibility Audit. We check if and where your business appears across Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Copilot, then give you a roadmap to improve your chances of being recommended. ### What industries benefit most from AEO? Any industry where people search before they buy, including law firms and professional services, healthcare providers, home services such as plumbing, HVAC and roofing, retail and e-commerce, and B2B and SaaS companies. ### How long does it take to see results? Many clients begin to see mentions in AI platforms within 60 to 90 days, depending on their existing SEO and authority signals. Consistency over time builds lasting advantage as AI models update. ### Can you work with our in-house marketing team or agency? Yes. We often partner with marketing teams and agencies to deliver AEO and GEO without forcing them to build technical AI search expertise in-house. ### Why choose Agency AEO over a traditional SEO firm? We have been leading in SEO for almost 20 years, but unlike firms that only optimize for traditional links, Agency AEO is built specifically for AI search. Our focus is making sure your brand is the one AI platforms recommend. ## Terms AEO is answer engine optimization. GEO is generative engine optimization. AISEO is AI search engine optimization. All three describe getting a business named inside AI-generated answers rather than only ranked in a list of links.
