Answer engine optimization for businesses that want to be the answer.
ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google no longer just search: they answer, and they name only a few businesses. We structure yours so those engines can find it, understand it and cite it.
AEO and GEO are not the same as SEO
AEO — Answer Engine Optimization
Optimizing content to appear as the direct answer: Google's answer panels, voice assistants and search features that show one concrete answer before a list of links.
GEO — Generative Engine Optimization
Optimizing so generative models (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude) cite your business as a source when they answer a potential customer's question.
Sound familiar?
- Your business doesn't come up when someone asks ChatGPT
- Perplexity cites your competitors, not you
- Your content depends on JavaScript that these engines don't read
- You have no schema.org structured data
- There's no llms.txt explaining what your business does
More and more people don't search. They ask.
A customer used to search Google and pick from ten links. Now they ask an AI assistant and trust the answer it gives.
- 45% of consumers already use AI tools to find local businesses (6% a year earlier). — BrightLocal, Local Consumer Review Survey 2026
- 1.2% of locations analyzed were recommended by ChatGPT, versus 35.9% in Google's local pack. — SOCi, Local Visibility Index 2026
If your site isn't structured for those models to understand and cite, it doesn't matter how good your service is: you're not part of that conversation, and the customer never reaches your website.
What we implement on your site
This isn't an abstract promise. It's concrete technical work on your site's code and content.
- LocalBusiness schema — Address, hours, services and service area, structured.
- Service schema — Each service described as an entity with its scope.
- FAQPage schema — Real questions and answers, marked up so they can be cited directly.
- llms.txt — A plain-language summary of your business, ready for an AI model to read.
- Content in the initial HTML — Key information doesn't depend on JavaScript to appear.
Case study: North Prime Graphics
A live site with local SEO, AEO (FAQPage schema built on the business's real questions) and GEO (llms.txt plus LocalBusiness and Service schema, so generative engines identify the business correctly).
We apply the same approach to our own site and to clients like Sanar con BIO. →
Traditional SEO isn't enough anymore
Technical SEO is still the foundation: crawling, indexing, speed, structure. AEO and GEO build on top of it so that, beyond ranking on Google, your business is readable and citable by answer engines and generative models.
| Traditional SEO only | SEO + AEO + GEO with FlowLyt |
|---|---|
| Competes for clicks in a list of links | Optimizes to be the answer, not just a link |
| No structured data for generative engines | Complete schema.org: LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage |
| Ignores how people ask AI assistants | llms.txt so AI models can read your business |
| No llms.txt or FAQPage schema | Direct, verifiable, citable content |
How pricing works
Every implementation starts from your site as it is today, so we quote after looking at it. You get a written proposal with what we'll implement, the timeline and a fixed price, before any work starts. No ranking or citation is guaranteed: Google, ChatGPT and Perplexity decide what they cite. What we guarantee is the work, done and documented.
FAQ
What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of structuring content so it appears as the direct answer in answer engines: Google's answer panels, voice assistants and search features that show one concrete answer before a list of links. It's implemented with schema.org structured data and question-and-answer content.
What is generative engine optimization (GEO), and how is it different from SEO?
GEO is optimizing so generative models like ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini cite your business as a source when they answer someone's question. Traditional SEO competes for a position in a list of results; GEO competes to be the source the model chooses to mention inside its answer.
What is llms.txt, and does my business need one?
llms.txt is a plain-text file at the root of your site that summarizes, in clear language, what your business does, who it serves and what sets it apart. It's written for language models to read directly, without depending on how well they interpret the rest of the site.
Do AEO and GEO replace traditional SEO?
No. They build on it. Technical SEO is still the base: crawling, indexing, speed and site structure. AEO and GEO add the layer that makes your business readable and citable by answer engines and generative models.
How do I check whether ChatGPT or Perplexity already mention my business?
There's no public dashboard for generative engines like Google Search Console. The check is done by asking the real questions a potential customer would ask, in several models, and recording whether your business appears as a source. That's exactly what our AI visibility audit does.
How much does AEO/GEO cost?
It depends on your site and how much structured data and content it needs. After the 15-minute call you get a fixed price in writing, with structured data (LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage), llms.txt and the content adjustments spelled out.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size and complexity of your site. The timeline is part of the written proposal.
