The Challenge

Search rank no longer guarantees AI mentions.

A brand can rank well in search and still be missing or misdescribed in AI answers. Occasional spot checks are not measurement.

01

Unknown questions

Few teams track the questions buyers actually ask AI.

02

Blocked crawlers

CDN and security rules often block AI crawlers without marketing knowing.

03

Conflicting facts

Products, locations and credentials differ across the web.

04

Lost category questions

Brands win searches for their own name and lose generic ones to review sites.

Case in Point

Global apparel and footwear group, ten brands

Client engagement, anonymized

A global apparel group assumed its famous brands would appear in AI shopping answers. Our 70-point audit of ten brands found an average score of 26.4, none above 39, and AI crawlers blocked at the CDN by security teams without marketing's knowledge. Leadership received brand-by-brand scores and a fix plan split between infrastructure and commercial teams.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?

AEO makes a business easy for AI assistants to find, understand, verify and cite. It covers crawler access, clear pages, consistent facts, structured data and outside sources, and it is measured by testing real buyer questions.

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO ranks pages in a list of results. AEO aims to be named inside one AI answer, which has room for only a few companies. Both need crawlable, useful pages; AEO puts more weight on verifiable facts and outside confirmation.

Why isn't my company showing up in ChatGPT or Perplexity?

Common causes are blocked AI crawlers, pages that bury the answer, inconsistent facts across the web and too few outside sources confirming your claims. In our audits, a blocked crawler is often the first fix.

Can you guarantee AI will recommend my brand?

No one honestly can. Engines change their models and sources often. We remove barriers, strengthen evidence and track the same questions so you can see progress.

How do you measure AI visibility?

We run a fixed set of buyer questions across AI tools on a schedule and record mentions, position, cited sources and accuracy. Tracking the same prompts shows the trend.
