AEO & GBP Optimization
Prospects search for you on ChatGPT and Perplexity. Get cited by name - not buried in the list.
Your outbound is working but prospects who research you online can't find a clear, authoritative answer about who you are and what you do. AI Overviews are becoming the first touchpoint.
Why AEO, why now
ChatGPT and Perplexity are replacing the first page of Google for research queries. When a prospect from your Autopilot campaign Googles your company name or your service category, they often get an AI-generated answer first.
If that answer doesn't mention you - or mentions a competitor - your cold email did the work and someone else closed the lead.
AEO optimization ensures that when AI engines answer questions about your service category, your name appears in the cited sources.
What's included
AEO FAQ
How long does it take to get cited by ChatGPT?
Crawl-to-citation can take 4-12 weeks. Factors: domain authority, content freshness, schema implementation quality. We'll show early signals in month 1 and track citations monthly.
Is this the same as SEO?
Related but different. Traditional SEO optimizes for ranked links. AEO optimizes for being cited in zero-click AI answers. You need both; they reinforce each other.
What's the GBP component?
Google Business Profile is the #1 local entity signal. For service-area businesses, a fully optimized GBP with regular posts, responses, and accurate NAP data is the foundation of local AI citations.
Do I need this if I'm B2B only?
Yes. B2B prospects research vendors via AI too. "Who are the top [service] companies in [city]?" is a ChatGPT query your prospects make. You want to be the answer.
