AEO agency for teams that want measurable AI visibility
We measure how Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity describe your brand, benchmark you against competitors, and improve the content and pages most likely to increase mentions and citations.
How we deliver AEO outcomes
We measure how AI systems describe your brand, identify what is holding visibility back, and implement the content and technical changes most likely to improve selection, citation and recommendation.
For teams that want expert delivery, not another platform to manage alone.
Purpose
Who this service is for
This service is for teams that need AEO delivered properly, with clear priorities, visible progress and reporting that stands up to scrutiny.
In-house marketing and SEO teams
Best for teams with limited implementation capacity who need specialist AEO execution support.
Brands scaling AI visibility
For businesses that want better visibility in AI search without building the full function from scratch.
Agencies needing specialist support
Ideal when your team needs an AEO specialist layer behind client delivery.
Stakeholders needing measurable plans
Designed for decision-makers who need a practical plan with clear progress, not broad advice.
Foundations
What AEO is and why it matters
Answer Engine Optimisation, or AEO, is the practice of increasing the likelihood that your brand is included, cited or recommended in AI-generated answers.
That means improving the signals answer systems rely on most: clear structure, reliable evidence, unambiguous entity information and authority beyond your own website.
Our work is tied to what AI systems are actually returning for your priority questions, not to generic SEO checklists.
Delivery model
What you get
Our AEO programme combines analysis, implementation support and reporting in one operating rhythm.
Each cycle includes:
- Prompt and topic tracking against your priority commercial questions
- A prioritised action plan based on observed answer behaviour
- Content recommendations and implementation guidance
- Technical improvements that support machine interpretation and crawlability
- Monthly reporting on visibility, quality and outcomes
You get a clear baseline, a focused plan, and a practical sequence of work that builds over time.
A complete AEO system, not isolated fixes
AEO underperforms when it is treated as only a content problem or only a technical problem. We run a four-layer programme so each part of the work strengthens the rest.
Discoverability foundations
We improve the technical conditions that help machines access, interpret and trust your site, including crawl and index health, internal linking, template issues and structured data.
Answer-ready content
We create or refine content around the questions your buyers actually ask, using clear definitions, comparisons, step-by-step guidance and formatting that makes key information easier to extract.
Entity and credibility signals
We strengthen the clarity and consistency of how your brand, products and expertise are described across the web, supported by evidence that reinforces important claims.
Authority and amplification
We improve the supporting signals beyond your own domain through relevant mentions, references and reputation cues that increase trust in selection.
Answer surfaces
Platforms we optimise for
We optimise for the environments where users now expect direct answers, not just links.
Google AI Overviews
Improve the likelihood of selection and citation through better coverage, structure and evidence.
Google AI Mode and conversational search
Support follow-up questions, comparisons and decision-stage queries with clearer, more complete answers.
AI assistants including ChatGPT
Improve how your brand is described and when it is recommended by strengthening entity and authority signals.
Citation-led engines such as Perplexity
Increase the likelihood that your pages are referenced as sources through evidence-led content and clean structure.
UK delivery
UK-focused AEO, based in Exeter
We work with UK brands that want to improve how they appear in AI-generated answers for high-intent searches.
From our base in Exeter, we support teams across the UK with AEO work built around commercial queries, competitor benchmarking, and content improvements that make brands easier to mention and cite.
That includes the searches buyers actually use when comparing providers, such as pricing, alternatives, comparisons, service fit, and who is best suited to a specific brief.
Our focus is not just visibility in general. It is visibility for the queries most likely to influence pipeline.
What we track
Measurement that reflects how AI discovery works
We measure three things using an agreed prompt set and topic list.
Visibility
Whether your brand appears for priority questions, and how often.
Quality
How you are described, whether you are cited, and how your positioning compares with competitors.
Outcomes
Traffic, leads and conversions from answer-led discovery, where tracking is available.
This gives you a baseline, a monthly view of progress and a prioritised action list for the next cycle.
What reporting looks like
Our reporting is designed to make progress easy to understand internally.
Each reporting cycle shows:
- What was limiting visibility
- What changed across technical, content, entity and authority work
- What improved across mentions, citations, description accuracy and commercial outcomes where available
Where useful, we include before-and-after examples for specific prompts so the change is clear.
Security and data handling
AEO work involves your questions, domains, competitive context and reporting. We treat that information as sensitive by default.
We run delivery on a SOC 2 compliant platform, with encryption in transit and at rest, controlled access and separation between client workspaces.
That gives in-house teams, agencies and compliance stakeholders a delivery environment aligned with serious operational expectations.

FAQs
What is AEO?+
AEO, or Answer Engine Optimisation, is the practice of improving the likelihood that your brand is included, cited or recommended in AI-generated answers. It focuses on the signals answer systems use to interpret and trust information.
Is AEO the same as SEO?+
No. SEO and AEO overlap, but they are not identical. SEO improves discoverability in traditional search results. AEO focuses on improving selection within AI-generated answers and assistant experiences, where extractability, clarity and credibility are especially important.
Can you optimise for Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT?+
Yes. No agency can control AI outputs directly, but it is possible to improve the likelihood of being selected, cited and described accurately by strengthening public information, content structure, entity clarity and authority signals.
How do you measure AEO results?+
We measure visibility across prompts, quality of mentions and citations, accuracy of description, and commercial outcomes such as traffic and conversions where available.
How long does AEO take to show results?+
Most programmes begin with baseline measurement and prioritisation, followed by implementation of technical and content improvements. Early movement can appear within the first one to three months, depending on the site, the competition and the scope of work.
