SEO and AEO FAQs
What is AEO, and how is it different from SEO?
SEO helps your pages rank in search results. AEO, or answer engine optimization, helps AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity understand your business and use it in the answers they give. Both depend on clear content, accurate business details and structured data, so we work on them together.
How do I get my business to show up in ChatGPT?
There is no way to buy a spot in ChatGPT's answers. What helps is consistent business details across the web, clear pages that answer real customer questions, structured data, reviews and mentions on trusted sites. That is the work our AEO program focuses on.
How long does SEO take to work?
Most off-page and local SEO work takes 3 to 6 months to show meaningful results, which is why our programs start with a 3 or 6 month minimum term. On-page fixes and structured data are usually among the first things we complete.
Do you guarantee rankings?
No. No one controls how Google or AI tools rank results, and anyone who guarantees a #1 spot is overpromising. We commit to the itemized work in your agreement and report on it every month.
