The shift

AEO is the new SEO — and the rules are different

Ranking on page one no longer guarantees you're in the conversation. In an AI answer, you either show up or you're invisible. There's no page two.

The unit is a mention, not a ranking

You're either named in the answer or you don't exist. We measure the one number that matters: how often you appear when buyers ask about your category.

The sources are different

LLMs synthesize from what they trust — third-party listicles, review sites, Reddit, Wikipedia and authoritative editorial — not just your own website.

Accuracy is a deliverable

A huge share of the value is simply fixing what AI gets wrong about you: outdated positioning, missing services, confusion with a competitor.

Why it matters now

A category that's spiking while expertise is still scarce

Demand for answer-engine visibility is rising fast and most businesses have never looked at what AI says about them. That combination — high urgency, low competition — is exactly why moving now compounds.
