FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the work of getting your business named and cited inside the answers AI tools give, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. SEO earns you a link; AEO makes you the answer.
How long until we see results?
Most clients see more AI visibility and traffic within the first 90 days. The drop in customer acquisition cost usually shows between days 91 and 180.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO helps you rank in a list of links. AEO helps you get named inside the AI-generated answer. They work together, and we build for both.
What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?
GEO is optimizing for visibility and citation inside generative AI experiences like Google AI Overviews and Perplexity. It’s closely related to AEO, and we do both.
Which AI platforms do you cover?
ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Microsoft Copilot and DeepSeek, with new engines added as they matter.
How do you measure results?
We track how often each AI engine names you (AI share of voice), the citations it gives, the traffic AI sends you and what each new customer costs. You get a report every month.
How can AI visibility grow my business?
When AI names you for high-intent questions, you capture buyers who would otherwise go elsewhere. It turns AI search into a measurable acquisition channel.
Who is AEO Growth a fit for?
Businesses that want to move before their category does, value expert execution over doing it themselves, and are ready to invest at least 90 days.
