SEO & AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)
SEO and AEO cover how a site is found — through traditional search rankings, and through AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity that answer questions directly rather than just listing links. Both depend on the same foundation: structured, accurate, machine-readable content.
This fits businesses whose site already exists and ranks reasonably in traditional search, but has no structured data or AI-crawler-readable content — meaning AI systems answering questions about the business are working from whatever they can infer, not from anything the business actually published. It's a technical foundation, not a content-writing service.
What You Get
- A technical SEO audit covering crawlability, page speed, and indexing, not just a keyword list
- Structured data (JSON-LD schema) so search engines and AI systems understand the page rather than guessing
- An llms.txt file and AI-crawler-readable page structure for AEO, so AI crawlers aren't blocked or confused
- Content and heading structure review for clarity and accuracy, without rewriting your voice
- Sitemap and robots configuration, checked rather than left at defaults
- The fixmyweb.top overhaul used as a live worked example of the approach, not a hypothetical case study
- A report showing what AI systems currently say about the business, and what changed after the work
Being Found by AI: Typical vs Optimized
Typical site
- No structured data on pages—
- No llms.txt file—
- AI systems have no reliable source of facts—
Result: Inconsistent visibility (typical)
Optimized for SEO & AEO
- Structured data on every page—
- AI-crawler-readable content + llms.txt—
- Search and AI answers draw from the same accurate source—
Result: Consistent, accurate visibility (typical)
Starts with an audit of the current site's structured data, crawlability, and AI-readability, then a fixed-scope build of the missing pieces. Typical project timeline: 1–3 weeks depending on site size.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is AEO, and is it different from SEO?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is about how AI systems like ChatGPT and Claude answer questions directly, rather than how a page ranks in a list of search results. It uses the same underlying structured data as good technical SEO, so the two are complementary rather than separate disciplines.
Can you show an example of this working?
Yes — the fixmyweb.top overhaul is used as a live demonstration: structured data, an llms.txt file, and AI-crawler-readable pages were added to that site as part of this same approach.
Do you guarantee AI systems will mention my business?
No — no one can guarantee what a specific AI model says. What this work does is remove the technical barriers, such as missing structured data, no llms.txt, or unclear page structure, that keep a business from being found and cited accurately in the first place.
