FAQ

Common questions
about AEO.

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO ranks you in Google's blue links. AEO makes you the business AI chat tools recommend by name. Different crawlers, different trust signals, different outcome — and AEO is where buyers are moving.

How long until I show up in AI answers?

Local SEO movement typically within 30 days. AI engine citations in 45–90 days as entity signals compound. The 90-day refund is calibrated to that timeline.

Do I need a new website to do AEO?

Not required, but a modern, machine-readable site makes AEO 2–3× more effective. We can audit your current site and recommend whether to rebuild.

Which engines do you optimize for?

ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overview, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. These cover roughly 99% of AI chat volume as of late 2026.

Can I keep running Google Ads too?

Yes. Most clients taper paid as AEO compounds. We also offer paid-ads management as a separate service if you want it coordinated.
