OPTIMISE FOR ANSWERS, NOT JUST RANKINGS

AI SEO Services

 

Search has changed. Tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini don’t just list links;  they generate full answers. And unless your brand is part of those answers, you may become invisible.
 
This is where Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) comes in. AEO is an approach that focuses on getting your content cited in AI-generated answers. It’s not separate from SEO, it builds on it. While AI SEO ensures your content ranks in evolving search platforms, AEO makes sure it’s the content AI tools quote.

What Is AI SEO (And What’s AEO)?

AI SEO is all about adapting your content for today’s answer-first search experience. Instead of serving up a list of websites, AI platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity generate answers on the spot—often without a single click.
 
Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) is how we help your content get included in those answers. It’s a newer concept, but rapidly becoming essential. It means structuring your content in a way that’s easy for AI to interpret, cite, and trust—going beyond traditional keyword tactics.
 
If SEO helped you climb the rankings, AEO makes sure you’re the source AI relies on.

What Makes AI SEO Different?

AI SEO and Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) aren’t replacements for traditional SEO;  they’re what comes next. As search engines shift from listing results to delivering answers, the way we optimise has to evolve too.
 
SEO still matters. But today, it’s not just about rankings,  it’s about relevance, structure, and trust. AI SEO builds on the foundations of technical and on-page SEO, while AEO takes it further, ensuring your content is cited directly in AI-generated responses.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

AI SEO FAQs

What is AI SEO?
AI SEO is the practice of optimising your content for visibility across AI-powered search platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini. It goes beyond traditional SEO by focusing on structure, semantics, and trust signals—helping your content get seen (and cited) in AI-generated answers.
What is Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)?
Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) is an emerging discipline that focuses on getting your content cited directly within AI-generated responses. While AI SEO ensures your content is visible in search, AEO makes sure it’s selected and quoted by AI tools as the best answer to a user’s question.

 

How is AEO different from traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO helps you rank in search results, mainly on Google,  based on keywords, links, and page structure. AEO optimises your content to be understood and cited by AI models, which means it’s built around semantics, structured data, and real-world context. SEO gets you found; AEO gets you referenced.
Why does AI-generated search matter now?
Search is no longer limited to search engines. AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity now deliver direct answers without users needing to click through. If your content isn’t built for AI visibility, you’re not part of the answer—and that means lost visibility, trust, and traffic.
Do I need both SEO and AEO?
Yes. SEO is still critical for ranking and discovery, especially on Google. But AEO is becoming essential if you want to show up in AI summaries and direct answers. The most successful brands today are investing in both.
How do I know if my content is AI-visible?
The best way to find out is through prompt testing. At StudioHawk, we run real queries through ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity to see if—and how—your brand is being referenced. We also assess schema markup, bot accessibility, and structured formatting to pinpoint visibility gaps.
What platforms does AI SEO cover?

We optimise for ChatGPT (via Bing), Perplexity, and Google Gemini—but we also factor in Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, and forums. AI tools pull data from across the web, so your brand needs to be everywhere users, and algorithms,  are looking.

What’s the fastest way to get started with AEO?
Start by ensuring your site is crawlable by AI bots (like GPTBot and PerplexityBot), add structured data (schema), and focus on content that answers real questions clearly. Or, let us handle it. Our AI SEO audits will show you exactly what to fix and where to focus first.
