AEO Labs · AI search agency
The answer engine optimization agency for growth-stage brands
We get your brand cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini: the answer AI engines retrieve, trust, and recommend to buyers researching in AI.
The problem
Your buyers now start research inside AI tools, and if the models do not cite you, you are invisible at the exact moment of consideration.
Traditional SEO alone does not control how large language models retrieve, trust, and quote sources.
What we do
We audit how you appear across thousands of buyer prompts in the major answer engines and map exactly where the gaps are.
We produce answer-first content and structured data built for both search engines and LLM retrieval.
We run citation and digital PR campaigns that strengthen the third-party signals models rely on.
Deliverables
- AI visibility and search audit across your priority prompts
- Prompt and keyword map weighted by real buyer demand
- Answer-first content production with structured data
- Citation and digital PR campaign
- Monthly reporting on citation share across engines
Frequently asked questions
What is Answer Engine Optimization?
Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of getting your brand retrieved, trusted, and cited by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, so you appear when buyers research inside those tools.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO targets ranked links on a results page. AEO targets being the cited source inside an AI-generated answer. They overlap on content quality and authority, but AEO adds structured data, answer-first formatting, and citation building tuned for LLM retrieval.
How fast do results come?
You get audit findings up front. Measurable citation-share movement typically follows over the first several weeks as new content and trust signals are indexed.
What does an answer engine optimization agency actually do?
An AEO agency runs the full loop for you: it audits how AI engines answer your buyers' questions today, fixes retrievability and structured data, produces answer-first content, builds the third-party citations models trust, and reports your citation share against competitors every month. In our own tracking, a brand's own site is only 2 to 6 percent of the sources AI engines cite, so a serious agency spends most of its effort earning the off-site placements that decide the answer.
How do I choose between AEO agencies and consultants?
Ask three things: do they measure citation share across engines with real tracking data rather than screenshots, do they do citation and digital PR work or only on-site content, and can they show named case studies with numbers. Answer engine optimization services that only touch your own website ignore where most AI answers actually come from.
