THE SHORT ANSWER
What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of making your business the source that AI assistants and AI search features understand, trust and cite. It builds on SEO with clearer answers, consistent business facts, structured data and third-party mentions, so platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews name you when customers ask.

Questions, answered.
Still have a question? Call 647-917-8670 or email info@bestnewyorkcityseo.com.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO helps a page rank in a list of search results. AEO helps your business get named or cited inside the answer an AI platform writes. AEO is built on SEO: the same crawlable pages and reputation, with more focus on clear answers, consistent business facts and third-party mentions.
How much do AEO services cost?
Our AEO programs start from $1,200 per month. Enterprise programs that combine SEO and AEO for multi-location brands are priced custom.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend my business?
No. No one can guarantee AI citations, because each platform decides what to include. We improve the signals AI systems rely on and track your share of answers every month so you can see progress.
Which AI platforms do you track?
We track your priority questions in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Perplexity, and report mentions, citations, wrong facts and which competitors are named.
Do I need an llms.txt file?
No. Google states llms.txt is not needed for AI Overviews or AI Mode. It is harmless to have, but it is no substitute for the six pillars of AEO.
How long until we show up in AI answers?
Most businesses see meaningful movement within three to six months of steady work. Specific neighborhood and niche questions often move sooner than broad, competitive ones.
