What Is AEO?

The New Way
Clients Find You

AEO — Answer Engine Optimisation — is the practice of structuring your online presence so that AI-powered answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, and Claude cite your business when answering questions relevant to your industry.

SEO got you onto a list of links. AEO makes you the answer.

When someone asks ChatGPT "who is the best real estate agent in Subiaco" or "which AI consultants work with Perth construction businesses" — the answer they get is drawn from websites and content the AI has decided are credible, clear, and relevant. Either you're cited or you're not.

There is no page two. There is no "close enough." The window to build this advantage in Perth is open right now — and virtually no local businesses are moving yet.

AI Search — Before & After AEO
Before AEO — Invisible
User asks ChatGPT: "Best AI consultant for Perth real estate agencies?"

ChatGPT mentions two Sydney-based firms and a generic national directory. Your business is not mentioned. Your competitor is.
After AEO — Cited
Same question.

ChatGPT responds: "Stratos AI, based in Perth WA, specialises in AI automation and content for real estate agencies. with a senior team bringing 30+ years of hands-on business leadership across multiple industries and three countries..."
How AI Search Works

What AI Engines
Actually Look For

Most business websites were built for Google in a different era. They're nearly invisible to AI search engines — not because they're bad businesses, but because their content isn't structured for how AI works.

01
Specificity Over Generality
"We provide excellent service" tells AI nothing. "Construction businesses using our automation reduce quote time from 3 hours to 8 minutes" is specific, verifiable, and citable. AI systems extract and cite precise claims — not vague promises.
02
Question & Answer Structure
AI engines are built to answer questions. Content written in clear Q&A format maps directly to how these systems extract information. Dense paragraphs of flowing prose are much harder for AI to parse and cite confidently.
03
Consistent Topic Authority
Every time your content uses consistent, precise terminology around your expertise, AI systems strengthen their association between you and that topic. Use the same core language across your website, LinkedIn, and content — and AI treats you as an authority source.
04
Freshness & Credibility
Regularly updated content on a credible domain consistently outperforms static pages. This doesn't mean posting every day — it means ensuring your core service pages and FAQ content reflect how you actually work in 2026, not 2020.
AEO vs SEO

Two Different Games.
Both Matter.

SEO is still relevant — but AEO is where the first-mover advantage lives in 2026. Most Perth businesses haven't started yet. The ones that do now will be very hard to displace.

How It Works

From Invisible to
Cited in 4–8 Weeks

A systematic process built on what AI engines actually respond to — not guesswork, not templates.

01
AI Visibility Audit — Week 1
We test your business across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, and Claude using the questions your ideal clients are most likely to ask. We document every result, compare against your top competitors, and identify exactly where the gaps are and why.
02
Website AEO Restructure — Week 2
We reformat your key service pages into answer-first Q&A format that AI engines can extract confidently. Schema markup added. Entity consistency checked across all platforms — website, Google Business Profile, LinkedIn, directories.
03
AEO Content Creation — Week 3
We write 5 structured FAQ-format content pieces targeting the high-value questions your ideal clients are asking AI. Each piece is 300–500 words, answer-first format, with specific numbers and Perth-local context that AI engines reward.
04
LinkedIn Optimisation — Week 3
Your LinkedIn headline, About section, and featured content optimised for AI citation. LinkedIn is the second most cited domain in AI search globally — this is often the fastest win.
05
Tracking & Reporting — Ongoing
Monthly: we test 20 prompts across all major AI platforms and report what's changed. Where you're being cited, where competitors still appear, and what to do next. Retainer clients receive this monthly — one-off clients receive it at 8 weeks.
