What's included

Everything you need — nothing you don't

A growing share of searches never produce a click. An AI reads the web, writes the answer, and names a few sources. If you aren't one of them, you are invisible no matter where you rank. We fix both halves of that problem: getting cited in the answer, and making the click that does arrive actually convert. New to the terminology? Start with the glossary.

  • AI visibility baseline across ChatGPT, Perplexity & AI Overviews
  • Answer-first content restructuring (AEO)
  • Entity & schema markup buildout
  • AI crawler accessibility + llms.txt
  • SERP backwards analysis for page-type fit (SXO)
  • Post-click conversion & Core Web Vitals fixes
  • Brand mention and citation seeding
  • Monthly AI citation tracking & reporting

Why it matters

Ranking #1 is no longer the same as being found

When an AI Overview appears, the top organic result loses a large share of its clicks — and the sources named inside the answer absorb the attention instead. Meanwhile the clicks you do earn are judged in seconds. AEO wins the citation; SXO makes sure the visit was worth having. Neither replaces local SEO — they sit on top of it.

FAQ

Common questions

What is the difference between SEO, AEO and SXO?

SEO earns the ranking, AEO earns the citation inside an AI-generated answer, and SXO makes sure the page satisfies the person once they click. They share a foundation but optimise for three different moments, and in 2026 you need all three.

Does AEO replace local SEO?

No. Answer engines lean heavily on the same signals local SEO builds — an accurate Google Business Profile, consistent citations, real reviews and clean structured data. AEO is a layer on top, not a substitute. We almost always run them together.

Can you actually measure whether an AI is citing us?

Yes, within limits. We track a defined set of buying-intent prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and Copilot on a monthly cadence and report whether you appear, how you're described, and who is being cited instead. It's sampling rather than a complete census, and we report it that way.

How long before we show up in AI answers?

Faster than classic SEO, because retrieval happens live rather than waiting on a training cycle — structural fixes often show up within weeks. Reputation-driven changes, where the model has absorbed an outdated picture of your business from third-party sources, take months.

Is this worth it for a small local business?

It is if people ask AI assistants for recommendations in your category — which is increasingly true of home services, dental, legal and restaurants. If almost all your leads come from the Map Pack and word of mouth, we'll tell you to spend the budget on local SEO first.
