AI search handles 40%+ of queries now. Traditional SEO won't get you cited. AEOU's CITE Framework makes your brand the source AI systems trust and recommend.
Four interconnected layers that make your brand the answer AI systems choose — and trust.
AI systems need to find, read, and understand your content. We eliminate every technical barrier between your brand and AI crawlers.
AI models learn from how information is structured. We rebuild your content architecture around the question-answer patterns AI systems are trained on.
AI only recommends sources it considers expert authorities. We build deep, comprehensive coverage of your core topics so AI treats your brand as the definitive source.
AI systems build knowledge graphs of trusted entities. We ensure your brand, products, and executives are properly recognized as authoritative entities across the web.
A proven 12-month roadmap from AI invisible to AI dominant.
All plans include the full CITE Framework. Choose based on scope and speed.
All plans include a free AI Visibility Snapshot Report before you commit. No lock-in for the first 30 days.
Everything you need to understand AI search and get your brand cited.
AEOU is a new agency. We run our own CITE Framework and AEOU Score on aeou.io first — so you can see exactly what we do before hiring us.
Traditional SEO optimizes for search engine algorithms that rank 10 blue links. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) optimizes for AI systems that generate synthesized answers and cite sources directly. The signals AI models use to decide who to cite — entity authority, topical depth, structured data, and information completeness — are completely different from Google's ranking factors. You need both, but they require different strategies.
Most clients see measurable citation improvements within 60-90 days. Technical fixes (Crawlability + Information Architecture) take effect fastest — often within 30 days. Building Topical Authority and Entity Citation takes 3-6 months for sustained, competitive results. We set realistic expectations and track everything transparently.
We do not guarantee specific rankings because AI systems — like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini — are controlled by third parties and update continuously. What we guarantee is: expert implementation of the CITE Framework, delivery of all agreed monthly deliverables, transparent reporting, and a commitment to adjust strategy based on results.
Depending on your plan: AEO-optimized content (articles, FAQ pages, answer snippets), technical SEO implementation (schema markup, structured data, crawlability fixes), citation and digital PR outreach, competitor analysis, monthly performance reports, and strategy calls.
CITE stands for Crawlability, Information Architecture, Topical Authority, and Entity Citation. It is AEOU's proprietary framework for optimizing brands to appear in AI search results. Each dimension targets a specific aspect of how AI systems select and cite sources, ensuring comprehensive optimization across all AI platforms.
Starter plans have a 6-month minimum; Growth and Enterprise require 12 months. After the minimum period, you can cancel with 30 days' notice. We structure minimums because AEO is a 6-12 month process — cancelling early means you've invested in groundwork without capturing the compound returns.
