FAQ

What is the difference between traditional SEO and AEO / GEO?+
Traditional SEO aims to rank your URL in the top 10 search results on a SERP. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) structure your domain's content and semantic entities so LLM retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) engines extract, cite, and recommend your brand directly inside AI-generated answers.
How do you get our brand cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude?+
We apply the research-backed 5-pillar GEO framework: (1) engineering 40–60 word extractable answer passages; (2) integrating empirical statistics with dates (+37% citation boost); (3) deploying machine-readable files like llms.txt and pricing.md; (4) configuring crawler directives for GPTBot, PerplexityBot, and ClaudeBot; and (5) building authentic third-party co-citations across verified community and authority hubs.
What is the difference between getting cited and getting recommended?+
Getting cited means an AI consulted your article as a reference. Getting recommended means the AI places your product or service on the buyer's actual shortlist when they ask 'What is the best tool for X?'. Recommendation is driven by web-wide consensus, unbiased reviews, verified credentials, and clear pricing models that AI agents can parse.
Why should we deploy machine-readable files like llms.txt and pricing.md?+
Autonomous AI purchasing agents and LLM research crawlers evaluate tools programmatically. When pricing or feature limits are trapped behind heavy JavaScript or 'contact sales' walls, agents skip them. Providing structured, un-gated markdown allows AI agents to instantly parse and recommend your offerings.
How do you track and measure AI search visibility?+
We test and monitor your priority high-intent commercial queries across ChatGPT Search, Perplexity AI, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Claude. We measure your Share of AI Voice, citation frequency, sentiment, and recommendation position month over month.
