AEO & AI Search Optimization
Make your website the source AI assistants cite. I optimise sites for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews with structured data, answer-first content, and llms.txt.
Overview
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of making your website easy for AI assistants to read, understand, and cite. As more people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews instead of clicking blue links, being the source those answers quote is the new front page of search.
I make your site machine-readable and citable: structured data and schema, an llms.txt file for AI crawlers, answer-first content with FAQ markup, clear entity and internal linking, and the technical SEO foundations AI systems rely on. The result is a site that both people and AI agents can confidently recommend.

Ready when you are
Have a aeo & ai search optimization project in mind?
AEO is optimising your website so AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and others — can read, understand, and cite it. Instead of only ranking in a list of links, the goal is to be the trusted source the AI quotes directly in its answer.
SEO optimises to rank in search result lists; AEO optimises to be cited inside AI-generated answers. They overlap — both need clean technical foundations and good content — but AEO leans harder on structured data, answer-first writing, FAQ markup, entity clarity, and machine-readable files like llms.txt.
There are no guarantees with AI systems, but sites that get cited consistently share clear structured data, direct answer-first content, strong topical authority, and fast, crawlable pages. AEO puts those signals in place to maximise the chance your site is the source quoted.
I baseline how AI assistants describe you and your competitors before starting, then track changes in citations, branded mentions, and referral traffic from AI tools over time, alongside traditional search rankings.
