Search hasn't disappeared — it has spread out
People still search for businesses every day. The difference is where they ask: Google, Bing, ChatGPT, Perplexity and voice assistants all pull answers from the same open web.
That means a well-structured, trustworthy website is now the source material for every one of those channels.
What AEO adds on top of SEO
Answer Engine Optimisation focuses on making your content easy for AI tools to understand and quote: clear headings, direct answers to common questions, structured data and consistent business details.
If your site answers the questions customers really ask, you give AI engines a reason to recommend you. Our step-by-step SEO & GEO ecosystem guide shows how, with data.
Where to start
Check your page titles and descriptions, add an FAQ section to key pages, and make sure your name, address and phone number match everywhere online. Those three steps help both search engines and answer engines — or let our SEO & AEO service handle them for you.
