Get Found by Google. Get Cited by AI.
Search is splitting in two
Traditional SEO
Rankings, authority, and technical health on Google. Still where most buyers verify you exist — and still the foundation AI engines learn from.
AEO — Answer Engine Optimization
Schema markup, llms.txt, content structure, and trust signals that make AI engines find, understand, and cite you when your prospects ask.
Most B2B sites have never been audited for AEO readiness — schema missing, llms.txt nonexistent, AI crawlers silently blocked. The companies winning citations started 18 months ago.
How AEO works — layering questions into answers AI can cite
One buyer intent branches into the real questions people ask — each mapped to a structured answer block on your site, marked up so ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI pull your content as the answer.
The numbers behind the shift
8-30%
of B2B inbound traffic
on AEO-optimized sites already comes from AI engines — prospects ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude before they ever talk to sales.
~30 min
the highest-leverage fix
Most B2B websites have no llms.txt at all — making it the single highest-leverage AEO move, and it takes about half an hour to ship.
60 days
to citation lift
Companies that ship the top recommendations typically see AI citation lift within the first 60 days — and authority compounds from there.
The window is open — but not for long
Three shifts are happening at once. The teams that move now compound the advantage; the ones that wait spend years catching up.
Buyers now ask AI first
Prospects research through ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI overviews before they ever hit your site. If you're not the cited answer, you're not in the deal.
The tooling finally works
What used to take a data team and six months now ships in weeks — the stack matured, and connected systems are a build decision, not a science project.
Early movers compound
Systems get smarter with data and time. The team that starts this quarter is a year of learning ahead of the one that starts next year.
