65% of Businesses That Rank #1 on Google Don't Appear in a Single AI Answer.
The audit that surfaces this fact takes 48 hours. The businesses that have already run it are now the ones ChatGPT cites when their customers ask questions. The ones that haven't are still waiting for Google rankings to recover.
Three service tiers. One objective: make your brand the answer AI surfaces in your category — without the $10k/month agency retainer built for a search engine AI is replacing.

01. Three Paths. One Outcome.
Most agencies offering "AI optimization" are running the same keyword tools with a new label. We built purpose-specific systems for schema implementation, entity recognition, and multi-engine citation tracking — because those are the actual variables AI engines score.
Pay after delivery — ask about invoicing. No hidden fees. No vanity metrics.

AEOfix Self-Case Study — Zero AI Presence to Cited Authority
We ran the methodology on ourselves first. Here's what we found.
Starting condition: New brand. Zero citations across any AI engine. No prior SEO history. Work done: Schema.org implementation, E-E-A-T signals, structured Q&A pairs, entity building across directories. Measured outcome: 70% visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini & Perplexity in 6 days. When industry contacts searched for AEO services, our name came back. Theirs didn't.
Only someone who has run these audits on real sites — not theory — would know that schema lift, entity recognition, and E-E-A-T are three separate problems requiring three separate diagnostics. We built a tool for each one.

Pay After Delivery — We Earn Your Payment
For all services and reports, we strongly prefer to invoice you after you've seen the work. No upfront risk. We deliver, you verify, then you pay. If no measurable technical improvements are demonstrated within 30 days of project completion, you are not invoiced — or if you prepaid, you receive an 85% refund (15% processing fee retained).
Everything you need to
know about our AEO services, pricing, and implementation process.
Why am I invisible in AI search if I rank #1 on Google? +
Google rankings and AI citations are fundamentally different systems. Fewer than 50% of brands that rank well on Google appear in AI-generated answers. AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini prioritize structured data (schema markup), factual verifiability, E-E-A-T signals, and machine-readable content formats—not just backlinks and keyword density. AEO addresses the specific signals these AI engines use to decide who gets cited.
What AEO services does AEOfix offer? +
AEOfix offers three service tiers plus 12 specialized audit tools. Intelligence (self-service reports from $49): AEO Readiness Audits, GIST Algorithm Analyzer, Gap Analysis. Implementation (done-for-you, $499–$2,499): full technical AEO deployment for 10–100 pages. Management (ongoing, from $1,500/month): dedicated specialist with monthly optimization and citation tracking. Plus 12 a-la-carte audit tools ($29–$79 each) for targeted optimization.
What is included in an AEO Readiness Audit? +
The AEO Readiness Audit is our most popular starting point at $49. It includes a comprehensive 47-point technical audit covering schema markup validation, AI crawler access verification, E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust) analysis, competitive benchmarking against your top 3 competitors, and a detailed implementation roadmap with prioritized action items. The audit is designed for DIY implementation, providing clear, actionable steps you can implement yourself or hand to your development team.
How long does AEO implementation take? +
Implementation timelines vary by package size: Starter packages (up to 10 pages) typically take 5-7 business days, Professional packages (up to 30 pages) take 10-14 business days, and Enterprise packages (up to 100 pages) take 21-30 business days. After implementation, you can expect to see initial improvements in AI visibility within 2-4 weeks as AI engines re-crawl and process your updated content. Full results typically appear within 30-90 days depending on your industry and competition level.
Which AI engines do you optimize for? +
We optimize for all major AI answer engines including ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), Gemini (Google), Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, and emerging AI-powered search experiences. Our implementation covers schema.org markup, llms.txt files, ai.txt configuration, robots.txt optimization, and other machine-readable formats that these engines use to understand and cite content. We stay current with each platform's evolving requirements and best practices.
What's your refund and payment policy? +
We prefer to invoice after delivery — you see the work first, then pay. For prepaid orders, a 15% processing and administrative fee is retained on any refund to cover non-recoverable payment processor and handling costs; you receive the remaining 85% back within 5–10 business days. All implementation packages include a 30-day verification period with free adjustments. See the full refund policy.
What's the difference between the Starter, Professional, and Enterprise packages? +
The main differences are page count, schema complexity, and support level:
Starter ($499): Up to 10 pages, full schema implementation, technical audit, and 30-day verification. Best for small businesses and landing pages.
Professional ($1,299): Up to 30 pages, advanced E-E-A-T schema, Core Web Vitals optimization, and priority support. Best for service businesses and mid-market companies.
Enterprise ($2,499+): Up to 100 pages, dedicated specialist, 48-hour priority turnaround, white-label options, and 90-day ongoing support. Best for e-commerce and large-scale sites.
Can I implement the audit recommendations myself? +
Absolutely! Our AEO Readiness Audit ($49) is specifically designed for DIY implementation. We provide clear, step-by-step instructions, code examples, and prioritized action items that you or your development team can implement. If you prefer professional implementation, you can upgrade to any of our Implementation Protocols at any time, and we'll credit the $49 audit fee toward the implementation package.
Do you work with websites on Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress? +
We can work with WordPress sites and provide implementation guidance. However, Wix and Squarespace have significant limitations for AEO implementation due to restricted access to schema markup and technical configuration. For these platforms, we recommend our Platform Migration service (from $999) which moves your site to a modern tech stack (Next.js or HTML5) with full AEO capabilities, zero downtime, and 100% data preservation.
How do you measure AEO success? +
We measure AEO success through several key metrics: citation frequency (how often AI engines mention your brand), citation quality (whether citations are positive and accurate), source ranking (your position among cited sources), query coverage (percentage of relevant queries where you appear), and competitive share (your citations vs. competitors). We provide detailed tracking reports showing improvement over time across all major AI engines.
Do you provide ongoing support after implementation? +
Yes! All implementation packages include a 30-day verification period with free adjustments. Enterprise packages include 90 days of ongoing support. After that, we offer monthly monitoring and maintenance packages starting at $199/month, which include AI visibility tracking, schema updates as needed, optimization for new AI engines, monthly performance reports, and priority support for technical questions.
What if I have more than 100 pages? +
For sites with more than 100 pages, we provide custom Enterprise pricing based on your specific needs. We can handle sites with thousands of pages using automated schema generation, template-based optimization, and programmatic implementation. Contact us for a custom quote that includes page count, complexity assessment, timeline estimates, and volume discounts for large-scale projects.
Can you guarantee my site will be cited by AI engines? +
While we cannot guarantee specific citation rates (as AI engines use proprietary algorithms), we can guarantee proper technical implementation of all AEO best practices. Our clients typically see 40–70% improvement in AI visibility within 90 days. All implementation packages include a 30-day verification period — we monitor results and make adjustments at no additional cost until your setup is fully optimized. And since we prefer pay-after-delivery, you're only invoiced once you've seen measurable progress.
Do you offer white-label services for agencies? +
Yes, we offer white-label AEO services for digital marketing agencies, SEO firms, and web development companies. Our white-label program includes unbranded reports, direct client communication (under your agency name), volume discounts for multiple clients, dedicated account management, and co-branded training materials. Contact us for white-label pricing and partnership details.
How is AEO different from traditional SEO? +
While SEO focuses on ranking in traditional search engine results pages (SERPs), AEO focuses on getting cited by AI answer engines that provide direct answers without requiring users to click through to websites. AEO requires structured data (schema markup), machine-readable content formats (llms.txt, ai.txt), factual accuracy and verifiability, clear answer-based content structure, and E-E-A-T signals that AI engines trust. Both are important, but AEO addresses the growing share of users getting answers directly from AI rather than traditional search.
Do I need to optimize for all AI platforms? +
Yes. In 2026, users adopt different AI tools for different tasks—ChatGPT for research, Claude for analysis, Gemini for Google integration, Perplexity for sourced answers. We optimize for 8+ platforms including ChatGPT Search, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, DeepSeek, and Grok. Each platform weighs signals differently, so multi-platform optimization is essential for comprehensive AI visibility.
How much content do I need for AI visibility? +
Research shows that brands with 12+ optimized content pieces achieve visibility 200x faster than those with only 4 pieces. AI engines cite just 2–7 domains per response (compared to Google's 10 blue links), so content quality matters more than quantity. Our approach focuses on creating citable, structured content with original data—pages with specific statistics get a 5.5x citation boost, and original data tables get 4.1x more citations.
What are the 12 specialized audit tools? +
Our tool suite covers every dimension of AEO: Technical SEO Audit ($49), AI Content Optimizer ($29), E-E-A-T Authority Analysis ($59), Entity & Knowledge Graph Builder ($79), FAQ Schema Generator ($39), NAP Consistency Audit ($29), Schema Markup Generator ($39), AI Visibility Scanner ($59), YouTube SEO + AEO ($49), GitHub Docs Optimizer ($79), Video Metadata Optimizer ($39), and GIST Algorithm Analyzer ($149). Each targets a specific aspect of AI visibility. Buy individually or bundle 5+ for 20% off.
