Ask ChatGPT for the best GST software for a CA firm, or the top real estate CRM in Gurugram. It names three or four companies and moves on. Nobody scrolls to page two of an AI answer. Our AEO service is the work of getting your business into that short list and keeping it there. We build retrieval systems for clients every week, so we know what a model looks for before it quotes a page. It starts with a free AI visibility check. After that you pay month to month, and you watch every scan in your own Dmetric login.
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of making your website the source an AI assistant cites when it answers a buyer's question. The same work is sold under the name Generative Engine Optimization (GEO). ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot and Google's AI Overviews do not return ten links. They write one answer and mention a handful of companies inside it. A buyer who reads that answer rarely searches again.
Traditional SEO still matters because most of these systems pull candidate pages from the Bing or Google index. Where AEO differs is in what happens after retrieval. The model has to be sure who you are (entity clarity), it has to be able to read you (crawler access, schema, llms.txt), it needs a sentence it can lift straight into the answer (answer-first writing), and it looks for other sites that already mention you in the same context (citations).
We measure AEO in one way only. We fix a list of 60 questions your buyers actually ask, we put them to each AI platform every week through Dmetric, our own brand intelligence platform, and we write down which companies get named. That table is the report. Everything on this page exists to move the numbers in it.
Before we sold this, we did it to our own site. You can check each item in a browser in under a minute.
GPTBot, ChatGPT-User, ClaudeBot, anthropic-ai, PerplexityBot, YouBot, meta-externalagent, Applebot, Googlebot and Bingbot. A surprising number of Indian company sites block two or three of these without knowing, usually through a hosting firewall or a Cloudflare bot rule somebody switched on in 2023. Open /robots.txt on this site and compare it with yours.
A short company summary at /llms.txt, a page-by-page version at /llms-full.txt, and a blog feed in the same format. Each service page carries Organization, Service, FAQPage and BreadcrumbList schema. The FAQ text in the schema is identical to the FAQ text on the page, because models and Google both check.
We are running the same cycle we sell on Decipher, Dcomply, VakeelSaathi and RealZent, starting with Decipher's own site. Baselines are being recorded now. Once a brand has a full month of data we will publish its citation numbers here, including the months that go nowhere. We would rather show you our own graph than a borrowed case study.
Growth, Scale and Dominate all include the six below. The plan decides how many pages we touch, how many platforms we track and how much outreach we do.
Sixty questions a real buyer in your category puts to an AI: "best X for Y", "X vs Y", "how much does X cost in India", "how do I pick an X". We cover India plus whichever export markets you sell into, and we refresh the list every quarter because the questions drift.
This list is the scoreboard for the other five workstreams.
One consistent description of your company, founding year, location and products across your site, LinkedIn, Google Business Profile, Crunchbase and the directories your industry uses. Organization, Product, Service, FAQPage, HowTo and Article schema that matches what a visitor can see.
A model that is unsure who you are will leave you out.
We rewrite your priority pages so the first 60 words answer the question, followed by a definition the model can quote, a table, dates and numbers. Where the AI currently cites a competitor's comparison, we write the comparison page and the "alternatives" page ourselves.
Pages per month set by plan after the baseline.
Unblocking AI crawlers at the firewall, CDN and robots.txt level. Writing and maintaining llms.txt and llms-full.txt. Fixing canonicals, render-blocking scripts and slow templates so the page we want cited can actually be fetched and read.
Finished in month one. Re-checked every month after that.
Getting you onto the third-party pages the models already quote for your category: listicles, review sites, directories, trade publications, and Reddit or Quora threads where the question is being asked. Always from named accounts belonging to you or to us. We do not run fake profiles.
Named accounts only. Digital PR on the larger plans.
Every week Dmetric re-runs the 60 questions on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, with Google AI Overviews checked by hand, and logs which companies are named and which URLs are cited. You get your own login, citation share per platform against the baseline, the competitors still ahead of you, and a monthly written report of what we changed.
You see the dashboard. We do the work.
We quote after we have seen your baseline, because the right plan depends on how far behind you are, how many pages you have and which markets you sell into. Everything is prepaid monthly with no annual contract. Companies in the USA, UK and UAE are invoiced in US dollars from our Frisco, Texas office.
Ten questions your buyers ask, run on four AI platforms through Dmetric. You get who is named instead of you and the three sites the AIs cite. No login, no card, no call required.
Sixty questions locked and scanned, crawler, schema and entity audit of your site, and a 30-day fix list. Included in the first month of any plan.
The same six workstreams on every plan. Plans differ in pages per month, platforms tracked, citation outreach and how often we talk. Quoted after the baseline, prepaid monthly, cancel at any month end.
If we already run your application or servers, AEO is added to your current retainer at a reduced rate, because the technical fixes land on pages we maintain anyway.
Send us your domain and your category. Within 48 hours you get the free check: who the AI names instead of you and where it gets its facts. Then you decide whether to go further.
