- Full schema markup implementation. JSON-LD for Organization or LocalBusiness, FAQPage, Service, and Article schema, validated against Google's Rich Results Test.
- Entity consistency audit. Your business name, address, phone number, services, and key claims aligned identically across your website, Google Business Profile, and directories.
- Answer-ready content restructuring. Direct, sourced answers to real customer questions, formatted in the lists, tables, and definitions AI systems can parse and cite.
- AI citation tracking. Regular checks of how and whether your business is being surfaced in ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, with a report on where you stand.
The outcomes
- Citations in AI-generated answers. Your business appears when a prospective customer asks an AI assistant a question you can answer.
- Stronger E-E-A-T signals. Structured author bios, sourced claims, and clean entity data build the Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness signals both Google and AI models reward.
- One content investment, two visibility channels. The same structured content that earns AI citations also strengthens traditional SEO rankings.
Why AEO matters now
Google AI Overviews now appear on a large share of searches, and AI assistants are answering questions that used to send traffic to a search results page. When someone asks "best real estate agent in Karen" or "private clinic in Westlands with fast response," AI tools answer directly, often without a single click to a website. Businesses with clear, structured, machine-readable content get cited in that answer. Businesses without it don't exist to the AI at all.
AEO doesn't replace SEO. It sits alongside it. Traditional SEO still governs whether your site ranks in search results. AEO governs whether AI systems can extract, trust, and repeat what your site says.
