FAQ
Questions about Answer Engine Optimization
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the process of increasing how often and how accurately AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude mention and recommend your brand. It combines content, authority and technical signals that language models use to form answers.
Yes. We run a fixed set of buyer prompts across each assistant every month, record which brands and sources appear, and report your share of model over time. You can preview this with our free AI Visibility Checker.
No. Assistants pull heavily from well-ranked, authoritative pages, so strong traditional SEO is a foundation for AEO. We run them as one programme.
