What is Answer Engine Optimisation?

AI search optimisation. AEO makes you that winner by giving AI models clear, short answers they can quote, plus schema and entity signals

(brand ↔ services ↔ locations) that confirm you're credible and local.

Two ways we work on AEO

Option A: One - Time AEO Upgrade

Keep your current site

We'll optimise your existing website so models can find and quote you.

Includes:

  • Voice-style Q&A blocks (40–60 word answers) on key pages

  • FAQPage, LocalBusiness and Organization schema (validated)

  • Entity mapping (brand ↔ services ↔ locations) + internal links

  • Local tune-up: NAP consistency guidance, GBP alignment checks

  • Reindex + report: What changed, where to expand next

AEO upgrades typically start from A$2,000 + GST. Final quotes are confirmed after your discovery call.

Option B: AEO Retainers

Ongoing lift + local

Keep your website's visibility fresh as models and markets shift.

Includes:

  • Essential AEO Maintenance: monthly schema checks, snippet/Q&A tracking, light refresh

  • AEO + Local Boost: add GBP optimisation, citations and one new Q&A/snippet monthly

  • Full AEO Growth: add content expansion, backlink outreach, and quarterly strategy

We confirm the best fit and quote after your discovery call. For AEO-only, retainer begins after the upgrade is published.

Quotes are provided after requirements are confirmed on the discovery call.

Questions People Actually Ask

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO ranks pages on a list. AEO (AI search optimisation) structures content so AI assistants and Google's overview can quote your answer. We still care about technical SEO, but AEO prioritises Q&As, schema and entity clarity so your brand is selected - especially for local intent.

Do I need a new website for AEO?

No. We can optimise most sites as-is: add Q&A blocks, schema and better internal links. If the site is slow, inaccessible or outdated, a new Smart AI Website will usually perform better and is faster to maintain.

How quickly will we see results?

For indexed pages with solid local signals, you can see early movement within weeks. Full impact builds as models recrawl and your Q&As/citations settle. Our reports track mentions, overview impressions and enquiries.

Can you help with Google Business Profile and citations?

Yes. We align categories, services and descriptions, then build reputable local citations to reinforce entity and NAP consistency.

Who writes the Q&As?

We draft voice-style answers from your materials and customer questions, then you approve. We aim for 40–60 words per answer to maximise "liftability".

Will AEO help Maps rankings?

AEO strengthens the entity + content side. Maps also depends on reviews, proximity and GBP quality. We'll give you a review playbook and local steps to support both.

What does reporting include?

You'll see Q&A coverage, overview/snippet visibility, schema status, and enquiry trends - plus the exact actions we'll take next month.

What happens after the upgrade?

You can stop there, or move into a monthly AEO retainer so we keep your answers fresh, schema tidy and local signals strong.

Ready to become the answer?
