Answer Engine Optimization Service (AEO)
Your customers aren’t just searching—they’re asking. From voice assistants like Siri and Alexa to AI platforms like Google’s SGE and ChatGPT, people expect fast, accurate answers. Our AEO services are designed to make sure your content is the one these platforms trust and deliver. Whether it’s “near me” searches or in-depth product questions, we help you become the answer across AI-powered engines.
What Is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the process of refining your website content so that it becomes the direct answer to user questions on AI-driven platforms. Unlike traditional SEO, which aims to rank your site in search results, AEO ensures your content is selected, spoken, or displayed by answer engines—like Google SGE, ChatGPT, Siri, Alexa, and Perplexity AI—when users ask a question.
AEO works by structuring your pages in a way that’s easy for machines to understand: clear headings, concise answers, schema markup, and authoritative information. For example, if a recruitment agency writes a blog titled “How to Prepare for a Job Interview” and formats it with FAQ-style sections, a voice assistant or AI platform could pull and read out their answer when someone asks that question. AEO turns your expertise into AI-friendly, ready-to-serve content.
Why AEO Is Crucial Today
Search behavior has shifted. Instead of scrolling through “10 blue links,” users are now getting direct answers from AI engines and voice assistants.
Whether it’s Google’s SGE, ChatGPT with browsing, or Siri reading out results, these platforms rely on structured, trustworthy content to choose the answer they show or speak.
If your content isn’t optimised to be the answer, it’s not just missed traffic—it’s a lost opportunity to own that moment of trust. And if you’re not showing up, your competitor probably is.
AEO ensures your content becomes the default answer—in voice results, AI overviews, and featured snippets—boosting visibility and authority at the exact moment users need you.
Not just the figures, but the results we are proud of.
Who Needs AEO?
Businesses aiming to dominate question-based searches
If your customers are asking questions online, AEO helps you be the answer. Whether it’s “how,” “why,” or “when,” your brand can appear where it matters most—at the top of AI-generated responses and answer boxes.
Local service providers
Plumbers, clinics, lawyers, and other local experts can win trust (and clicks) by answering common local queries like “best emergency dentist near me” or “how to fix a leaking tap in Sydney.”
Publishers, bloggers, and SaaS brands
Informational content is gold for answer engines. If you regularly publish articles, how-tos, tutorials, or thought leadership, AEO helps structure it for maximum discoverability across Google, ChatGPT, and voice search.
Ecommerce brands with Q&A-driven product pages
Consumers often search for things like “Is this backpack waterproof?” or “How long does this camera battery last?” AEO ensures your product content is optimised to be the go-to answer.
Anyone targeting snippets, panels, or AI summaries
If your SEO strategy includes featured snippets, knowledge panels, or voice search visibility, AEO is no longer optional—it’s essential.
