SEO & AEO Consultant
Answer Engine Optimization & AI SEO services
I help brands get cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews - not just ranked in Google. Answer engine optimization (AEO), generative engine optimization (GEO) and technical AI SEO, run as one connected system by a hands-on consultant who builds the tooling behind the work.
What AEO and AI SEO services actually do
Answer engine optimization structures your content so large language models can quote, summarise and cite your brand as a source. Traditional SEO wins the blue link; AEO and GEO win the answer itself - the recommendation a buyer reads inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Copilot before they ever reach a results page.
AI visibility audit
A baseline of how often - and in what context - LLMs and AI search currently mention or cite you versus your competitors, across the prompts your buyers actually type.
Answer-first content
Content restructured to state the direct answer in the first 40-60 words, with question-based headers and the extractable, fact-dense phrasing AI models prefer to quote.
Schema & structured data
FAQ, HowTo, Organization and Product schema plus entity and knowledge-graph alignment, so AI crawlers can read, trust and attribute your content cleanly.
Topical authority
Topic maps and internal-link architecture that make you the obvious expert on a subject, which is what earns durable citations rather than one-off mentions.
Technical AI SEO
Crawlability for AI agents, Bing indexation (what ChatGPT search reads), an llms.txt strategy, Core Web Vitals and the classic SEO foundations that still gate everything.
Measurement that ties to revenue
Ongoing tracking of citations, share of AI voice and the organic and referral traffic that follows - reported against pipeline, not vanity metrics.
Why work with me
Most AEO providers are agencies running a playbook. I am a hands-on SEO & AEO consultant and AI systems architect who built the tooling I run client work on: a connected SEO platform and a library of measurement-to-execution workflows that make expert analysis repeatable.
That means the audits are deeper, the diagnosis is evidence-gated, and the work moves from "what changed and why" to shipped fixes without the judgment evaporating between steps. You get a practitioner, not a pod of juniors.

Frequently asked questions
What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
Answer engine optimization is the practice of structuring your content so AI answer engines - ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Copilot - cite, quote and recommend your brand directly in their responses. Where traditional SEO targets keyword rankings and clicks, AEO targets the citation and recommendation inside a zero-click AI answer.
What is the difference between AEO, GEO and SEO?
SEO optimizes to rank in classic search results. Answer engine optimization (AEO) optimizes to be the cited answer in AI and featured-snippet responses. Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the closely related practice of getting summarised and quoted inside generative AI answers. In practice they overlap heavily and I run them as one connected strategy rather than three separate services.
How do you get a brand cited in ChatGPT and Perplexity?
By earning authority and presence in the sources these models trust. That means fact-dense, answer-first content, strong structured data, being indexed in Bing (which powers ChatGPT search), a credible entity footprint, and mentions across the community platforms and listicles AI models cite heavily. There is no single switch - it is durable topical authority plus technical cleanliness.
Is SEO still worth it now that AI answers everything?
Yes, more than ever - it just expanded. The same signals that rank you in Google increasingly influence whether AI engines cite you, and AI answers still send qualified traffic and shape buying decisions. The winners optimize for both the classic result and the AI answer, which is exactly what AEO and GEO services cover.
Who do you work with?
B2B, SaaS, ecommerce and professional-services brands that want to be found in AI search as well as Google. Engagements range from one-off AI visibility audits to ongoing consulting retainers.
How much do AEO and AI SEO services cost?
It depends on scope - a one-time audit is a fixed project fee, and ongoing work is a monthly retainer sized to the number of pages and the pace you want. Get in touch with your goals and I will scope it.
