What to expect working with Tilio on AEO

This page is for teams considering or starting Tilio's managed AEO plan. It covers what happens after you enquire, what onboarding looks like, what you receive each month, and how the work actually runs.

If you’re on this page, you’re probably asking:

That’s what this page is here to answer.

What this page covers

We help you understand how your business shows up across AI-led search, where competitors are stronger, which pages are holding you back, and what to improve next.

Some teams use terms like GEO or AI SEO. We use AEO because it’s the clearest label, but the goal’s the same: helping your business become easier to find, easier to understand and easier to cite in AI-led search.

If you want a fixed starting point, begin with an AI Visibility Audit. If you already know you want monthly support, explore our AEO agency service.

First steps

How the process starts

Once you fill out the form, we'll be in touch to arrange a time that works for you. The aim is to make the first step feel straightforward, while still giving you confidence that the work is being set up properly.

  1. You send an enquiry

    Fill out the contact form with a few details about your business and what you want to improve.

  2. We arrange an intro call

    We'll be in touch to find a time that works. The call is short and low-pressure.

  3. We discuss fit, priorities and likely value

    We talk through your market, your site and where the biggest opportunities are likely to be.

  4. We recommend the right starting point

    That might be an audit, or straight into the monthly plan, depending on what makes most sense.

  5. We confirm scope and next steps

    Clear agreement on what we'll do, in what order, and what you should expect.

  6. We begin onboarding

    The setup work starts and we align everything before the first reporting cycle.

Setup

What onboarding looks like

Onboarding is where we turn a general interest in AEO into a clear working plan.

At this stage, we align on the commercial context behind the work. That means understanding what you sell, who you want to attract, how buyers in your category research options, which competitors matter most, and which pages on your site are most likely to influence shortlisting.

At the start, we’ll work through:

  • an onboarding call
  • your priority services, categories or commercial areas
  • competitor selection
  • prompt theme planning
  • review of key commercial pages
  • tracking and reporting setup
  • alignment on what success should look like

This matters because strong setup leads to more useful reporting, better priorities and faster progress.

Monthly deliverables

What you get each month

Our monthly AEO plan is no-commit, so you're not tied into a long contract. You can cancel any time.

That means you get more than a monthly summary. You get a working system that combines visibility measurement, competitor context, content actions and practical website improvements.

Visibility data

Your dashboard and reporting

You shouldn't have to wait for one monthly PDF to know what's going on.

As part of the monthly plan, you’ll have access to a dashboard so you can check in on the data whenever you want. That gives you a live view of how visibility is moving across tracked prompts and platforms, how competitors are performing, and which pages are being cited.

Alongside that, you’ll also get a monthly report that pulls the important points together clearly. That reporting is there to answer practical questions like:

  • where are we showing up well
  • where are competitors ahead
  • which prompts matter most
  • which pages are being cited
  • where are the biggest opportunities
  • what should we fix next

If you want the methodology behind that in more detail, our page on how we measure AI visibility explains exactly how the tracking works.

The work

What we actually work on

This isn't just a measurement service.

The work usually turns into practical action on the pages most likely to influence AI visibility and buying intent. That often includes:

  • tightening service pages that are too vague or hard to summarise
  • improving pricing pages and buyer FAQs
  • adding clearer comparison or alternatives content
  • strengthening internal links between commercial pages and supporting proof
  • improving the pages most likely to earn citations
  • fixing content gaps where competitors are repeatedly winning

That’s usually what B2B teams care about most. Not just “are we visible?”, but “what do we need to change on the site to improve that visibility in a commercially useful way?”

That’s the difference between reporting and progress.

What you should expect from us

You should expect a process that feels structured, transparent and commercially grounded.

You should expect to know what’s being tracked, what the data is showing, and what we think matters most. You should expect clear recommendations, visible monthly output and a plan that connects measurement to real page changes.

You should also expect honesty about limits. We won’t pretend every prompt behaves the same way, that every platform is perfectly stable, or that AI visibility can be reduced to one magic number. No credible provider should promise that.

What we will do is build a disciplined process that gives you a clearer view of your visibility, stronger competitor context and practical actions that improve the conditions for mentions, citations and better positioning over time.

Audit or monthly plan: where to start

For many businesses, the best first step is an audit. The monthly plan makes more sense when you already know this matters in your market and want regular tracking, content support, reporting and page improvement.

  • Start with an AI Visibility Audit

    If you want clarity and prioritisation. An audit gives you a baseline, a clearer view of your current visibility, competitor context and a practical list of what to fix first.

  • Choose the monthly plan

    If you want regular measurement, implementation and progress each month. The monthly plan makes more sense when you already know this matters in your market.

FAQs

We'll be in touch to arrange a time that works for you. From there, we'll usually start with a discovery conversation to understand your goals, market and website, then recommend the best next step.

You get platform tracking, prompt monitoring, competitor benchmarking, content pieces, content optimisations, prioritised weekly actions, dashboard access, monthly reporting and Google Analytics integration.

Can I see the data myself?+

Yes. On the monthly plan, you get access to a dashboard so you can check in on the data whenever you want.

No. The monthly AEO plan is no-commit, and you can cancel any time.

Can you guarantee mentions or citations?+

No. No credible provider should promise that. What we do is improve the pages, structure and content most likely to influence visibility in a meaningful way.
