Your buyers are asking AI. Make sure it recommends you.
A done-for-you Answer Engine Optimization program. AEO-Max audits how the major AI answer engines describe your business today, then runs the work that gets you cited, recommended, and described accurately.

AEO is the new SEO — and the rules are different.
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the work of making sure AI assistants — ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Copilot — name your business, and describe it accurately, when buyers ask them for recommendations.
More and more buyers start their research by asking AI instead of searching. An AI answer gives a short list, not ten pages of links. Ranking on page one no longer guarantees you're in the conversation.
The unit is a mention, not a ranking
In an AI answer you are either named or you don't exist. There's no page two. What matters is how often you appear when buyers ask about your category.
The sources are different
Answer engines build their answers from sources they trust: best-of lists, review sites, Reddit, Wikipedia, and editorial coverage — not just your own website.
Accuracy is a deliverable
Much of the value is fixing what AI gets wrong about you: outdated positioning, missing services, or confusion with a competitor.

"Here's how AI recommends us" — evidence to use in pitches and proposals.
Built for businesses that win on trust.
Businesses whose customers research online before they choose — and that have real revenue tied to being recommended.
- Professional service firms, where buyers ask AI for a shortlist before they ever call
- Local and regional providers competing on trust, reviews, and reputation
- Companies AI currently ignores, misdescribes, or confuses with a competitor
Don't see your industry? The method is the same for any business whose customers research online first.
