FAQs
Commonly Asked Questions
How do you measure AEO success?
We track specific queries inside AI engines—like “best roofer in [city]”—to show whether your business is being recommended. Monthly reports make it easy to see growth in AI visibility, not just traffic.
How long does it take to see results from AEO?
Most clients begin seeing visibility improvements within 2–3 months, depending on competition and location. Because AI search engines are still evolving, early adopters often gain an advantage faster.
What is AEO and how is it different from SEO?
AEO (AI-Enhanced SEO) focuses on helping your business show up in AI-driven search engines like Google SGE, ChatGPT, and Perplexity. Traditional SEO mainly optimizes your website for Google’s standard search results, while AEO builds authority signals across the web that AI engines use to generate their answers.
What kind of content do you create for AEO?
We produce news-style articles, blogs, PR mentions, and local directory listings—content types AI tools rely on to recommend trustworthy businesses. All content is human-edited to ensure quality and relevance.
Will AEO replace SEO completely?
We expect AEO to become the primary visibility strategy within the next few years, but SEO will remain an important foundation. AEO is designed to complement, not cancel out, traditional SEO.
