SEO and AEO – Optimization for Search and AI Agents

SEO moves your site to the top of classic search results, while AEO (Agent Engine Optimization) makes your content understandable for AI agents – ChatGPT, Perplexity, and search AI. Together they drive traffic and trust.

Be visible both in classic search and in AI assistant answers.

What's included

Capabilities

Technical SEO

Indexing, speed, URL structure, microdata, and sitemap – the base for ranking growth.

Content strategy

Semantics, page structure, and texts that answer real user questions.

AEO – AI optimization

Structured data, FAQ, clear answers, and citable blocks – your content gets into AI answers.

Monitoring and reports

We track positions, traffic, and mentions in AI answers, showing measurable results.

How we work

From request to result

  1. 1

    Audit

    We check technical health, content, and AI answer mentions. We rank priorities by impact.

  2. 2

    Technical base

    We fix indexing, speed, microdata, and URL structure. Without this base, content does not work.

  3. 3

    Content and structured data

    We rewrite pages for search intents and add FAQ, schemas, and clear answers for AI citation.

  4. 4

    Monitoring and iterations

    We watch positions, traffic, and AI citations. We amplify what grows and fix what stalls.

Who it fits

Check if it fits you

Good fit

  • A site that exists, traffic that stalled

    The business is there, but visitors are not growing. Optimization brings traffic back without new ads.

  • An expert niche

    Customer questions need detailed answers – exactly what both search and AI agents love to cite.

Not a fit

  • Expecting results in a week

    Search and AI take months to gain weight. If you need instant traffic, combine with ads.

  • A site without its own content

    Duplicates and thin pages will not grow. First you need content worth promoting.

Track record

What you get

+120%

organic traffic in six months

Technical cleanup, content rework, and structured data. AI answer citations grew along with organic traffic.

Clean index

Index under control

We check which pages search engines index and which are blocked by accident. Duplicates and thin pages drain the crawl budget, so after cleanup many queries rank faster.

2 seconds

Speed within budget

We keep mobile load time under two seconds. In our projects a one-second gain added up to fifteen percent more traffic within two months.

4 types

Markup for each content type

We cover markup for the main content types: products, articles, reviews, and Q&A. A snippet with structured data gets more clicks without paid placement.

Short URL

Clear addresses

We make URLs short and predictable: the address mirrors the site's section logic. Such links are clear to people and to search, and easier to cite as a source.

Before launch

Sitemap and error log

We look at the sitemap and the error log before launch, before the first complaints. Broken pages that return server errors kill trust with both search engines and visitors.

A priority list

An audit on numbers

The audit ends with a priority list where every task has an expected effect. We show on numbers which pages drag you down before we start.

How it works

How the system is built

  1. AI agents quote direct answers

    AI agents quote direct answers. A block with a question and a short answer in the first paragraph raises the chance of being cited in a summary, so we build such pages deliberately.

  2. We phrase questions the way a client asks

    We phrase questions the way a client asks them. Live search suggestions confirm the wording, and it then matches what both people and agents search for.

  3. One question gets one complete answer

    One question gets one complete answer without forcing the reader to hop between pages. A clear three-sentence paragraph is worth more to an agent than a long article that only promises to cover the topic.

  4. We state sources and dates openly

    We state sources and dates openly. AI agents prefer fresh materials with visible authorship, so each key article gets a name, measured numbers, and a publish date.

  5. Content is updated on a schedule

    Content around key questions is updated on a schedule, quarterly. Outdated statistics get pushed out of agent answers, and a page untouched for two years works against you.

  6. A structured FAQ with markup

    A structured FAQ with markup covers two channels at once: an expanded snippet in search and a citation in assistant answers. We prepare one text block for both channels.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO optimizes the site for classic search results. AEO makes content clear to AI agents: structure, FAQ, and direct answers that land in ChatGPT and Perplexity citations.

When do the first results show?

Technical improvements show in 1–2 months. Ranking and AI citation growth take 3–6 months of steady work.

What does technical SEO include?

Indexing, speed, mobile version, microdata, sitemap, and URL structure. The audit shows what you already have and what is missing.

Do you work with new sites?

Yes. For a new site we build SEO and AEO in from day one: structure, semantics, and markup from the first release.
