Is this you?

You rank on page one and still nobody sees you.

  • 01

    A featured snippet or an AI Overview sits above your result and quotes somebody else.

  • 02

    Your pages answer the question in paragraph six, after a warm-up nobody reads.

  • 03

    Voice searches ("Hey Google, who does...") never return you, because there is nothing on your page short enough to read aloud.

  • 04

    Your FAQ page is a list of questions with "contact us to find out" as the answers.

  • 05

    Customers ask you the same twenty questions on every call, and none of them are answered on your site.

Answer engine optimisation is the discipline of being the answer rather than one of the results. It is mostly editing, not rebuilding, which is why it moves faster than almost anything else in search.

How I do this differently

Answer first, prove it second, and give the next step on the same screen.

An AEO consultant should rewrite what you already have before writing anything new. The pages that already rank are the ones the engines already trust; they just do not lift a clean answer from them. Definition first, forty to sixty words, one number, then the detail. That single change is what wins snippets and AI Overview citations.

Your real questions are the content plan. I take the questions from your inbox, your sales calls and your reviews, group them, and answer each one on the page where a buyer would look for it. Not on a blog nobody visits.

An answer without a next step is a donation to Google. Every answered question on your site leads to something: a check, a call, a price. The reader who got the answer from you is the warmest lead you will get today.

What I will not do
  • Write FAQs with no answers in them.
  • Mark up questions with schema that the page does not visibly answer.
  • Produce a hundred "what is" posts to farm snippets you cannot convert.
  • Guarantee a snippet or an AI Overview slot.
  • Bury the answer to make people scroll. It does not work and it annoys everyone.
What you actually get

What answer engine optimization includes, by month.

Month 1

  • Question research: what your buyers ask Google, ChatGPT and you, grouped by page.
  • Snippet and AI Overview audit: which questions show an answer box today, who owns it, and what they did to earn it.
  • Your ten most valuable pages rewritten to answer first, with the proof and the next step moved up.
  • FAQPage, HowTo and Article structured data added where the page visibly earns it.

Months 2 to 3

  • A "quick answers" block on every money page, written from real questions.
  • Comparison tables and step lists where people compare or follow instructions.
  • Author, date and credentials visible on every page that answers something.
  • Voice-ready answers: short, spoken-language versions of your top ten answers.

Month 4 onward

  • Monthly check of snippet and AI Overview ownership for your question set, with screenshots.
  • New questions answered as they appear in your inbox and in Search Console.
  • AI referral and snippet click-through tracked against enquiries.
  • The same standard applied to new pages as they are built.
What it costs

Fixed scope after a free look at which answer boxes you are missing. AEO is often a focused project on existing pages rather than a large retainer: a few weeks of editing and structuring, then a light monthly check. Quoted in writing, by page, with the hours shown.

How long it takes

Pages that already rank in the top ten can win a snippet or an AI Overview citation within two to six weeks of being restructured and recrawled. Pages that do not yet rank need SEO first.

How we start

A free look at your site first. Then a fixed monthly scope in writing, with the hours behind it, and you talk to me every time. What this costs in the market, by country and provider, if you want the numbers first.

One real example

Canary Mail: named in 2,200+ AI answers because the pages were built to be quoted.

Every feature and comparison page opens with a definition, states the claim in plain words, and answers the follow-up questions in order. Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Gemini all lift from pages like that. The result is a SaaS product that is the answer for its category, not just a result in it, and ranks first for "AI email client" on the classic page as well.

Before you hire anyone for this

Questions to ask, including me.

The answers you should hear are in brackets. If you get something else, keep looking.

  1. Which questions do my buyers ask, and where did you get them?Any AEO specialist should hand you a list, sourced from your inbox, calls, reviews and Search Console. Not a keyword tool export.
  2. Which of my existing pages will you restructure first?Named pages, in priority order, with a before and after of the opening paragraph.
  3. How do I see whether we won the answer box?A monthly screenshot log per question, in Google, ChatGPT and Perplexity.
  4. Where does the reader go after the answer?A specific next step on the same page. If they have not thought about it, the traffic is being donated.
  5. Do I need new content for this?Mostly no. If the first proposal is "we will write 40 articles", they have not read your site. The AEO guide explains the approach in full.
FAQ

AEO questions you might have.

What exactly is AEO?

Answer Engine Optimization, structuring content so it gets pulled as the direct answer in featured snippets, People Also Ask boxes, voice assistants and AI Overviews, instead of just ranking as a regular blue link.

Can you guarantee a featured snippet?

No, snippet selection is entirely Google's algorithm, and it can shift the position without warning. What I can commit to is proper question research, correct formatting and schema, which is what actually earns snippet eligibility in the first place.

How is AEO different from AI SEO or GEO?

AI SEO is the umbrella, overall visibility across AI-powered search. AEO specifically targets structuring content as a direct, extractable answer (snippets, PAA, voice). GEO focuses on how generative models synthesize and cite sources. They overlap heavily and I usually work on them together. See the full AI SEO service →

Do you need to be ranking on page one already?

Generally yes, most featured snippets are pulled from pages already ranking in the top 10. If you're not there yet, foundational SEO work usually needs to happen first. See the full SEO service →

Does this help with voice search too?

Yes, voice assistants pull from the same snippet and structured-answer sources, so the same question research and answer-first formatting work directly supports voice search visibility.
