Frequently asked questions
What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of making your brand the source AI assistants name and cite when they answer a question. It combines answer-first content, schema markup, technical access for AI crawlers, and credible third-party mentions.
Is SEO still worth it if buyers use ChatGPT?
Yes. Google still drives most search traffic, and AI assistants lean heavily on pages that already rank well. Strong SEO is the foundation AEO is built on.
How long until we see results?
Technical fixes often show impact within weeks, while content and authority gains usually take three to six months. We report progress monthly so you can see what is moving.
Do you guarantee rankings or AI citations?
No. Nobody controls Google’s rankings or what an AI model says, and anyone who guarantees either is guessing. We commit to clear deliverables, honest reporting, and the practices most likely to earn visibility.
How do you measure AI visibility?
We run a fixed set of buyer prompts through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews each month. We record whether you are mentioned, whether you are cited, and which competitors appear instead.
How much does it cost?
Monthly packages start at $1,500 per month, and one-time audits start at $2,500. Every package and what it includes is listed on our pricing page.
Do you only work with Silicon Valley companies?
No. We are based in Silicon Valley and serve the Bay Area in person, but most of our work is remote and we take clients across the US.
What is included in the free AI visibility audit?
You get a short report showing how your brand appears in AI answers for your top buyer questions, the technical blockers we found, and three priority fixes. There is no obligation to buy anything.
