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 five-day audit. After that you pay month to month.
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 month, 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.
From October 2026 we run the full monthly cycle on Decipher, Dcomply, VakeelSaathi and RealZent, starting from a recorded baseline. We will publish the citation numbers each month, 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.
8 pages a month on Growth · 20 on Scale.
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.
Scale and Dominate. Digital PR is added on Dominate.
Each month we re-run the 60 questions on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Google AI Overviews and log which companies are named and which URLs are cited. You get citation share per platform against the baseline, the competitors still ahead of you, and the list of what we changed.
2 platforms on Growth · 5 on Scale and Dominate.
Prepaid monthly, no annual contract. The audit fee is deducted from your first retainer invoice. Companies in the USA, UK and UAE are invoiced in US dollars from our Frisco, Texas office.
60 buyer questions put to ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini. Which companies get named instead of you, and which pages they cite. Crawler, schema and entity check on your site. A 30-day fix list, a 90-day plan and a walkthrough call.
All six workstreams. 8 pages a month, llms.txt and schema rolled out, 2 AI platforms tracked, one report and one call a month. Suits single-product companies, clinics and professional firms.
20 pages a month including comparison and alternatives pages, citation outreach from named accounts, 5 AI platforms tracked, a strategy call every two weeks. Suits SaaS, multi-location and funded companies.
Several brands or several countries. Digital PR aimed at citations, original research pieces, a dashboard built for your team, one strategist assigned to you. Scoped after the audit.
Send us your domain and three competitors. Five working days later you have the 60-question citation baseline, the gaps, and a 30-day fix list. If you continue with a retainer, the audit fee comes off the first invoice.
