FAQ
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) FAQs
What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of making a business easy for AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews to find, understand and cite when they answer a question. It covers crawler access, structured data, answer-first content and the third-party sources these engines rely on.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO aims to rank pages in a list of search results. AEO aims to have your business named or cited inside a generated answer. They share foundations such as crawlable pages and good content, but AEO puts more weight on clear entity information, direct answers and mentions on other sites.
What does Adstorm Media's AEO service include?
It includes an AI visibility audit, crawler access and llms.txt setup, structured data and entity markup, answer-first rewrites of key pages, new question-led content, directory and review profile setup, and monthly tracking of AI mentions and citations.
How do you measure AEO results?
We run the same set of buyer questions through each AI engine every month and record whether your business is mentioned, cited with a link, and described accurately. We also track visits from AI assistants in your analytics.
How much does AEO cost?
Pricing is scoped to your site and goals. It is often combined with an SEO retainer because the two share most of the groundwork. Request a proposal for a tailored quote.
