Frequently asked questions
What is AEO?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimisation. It means making your business easy for AI tools such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews to find, understand and recommend when people ask them questions.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO helps you rank in Google's list of links. AEO helps you become the answer AI tools give directly. They work together: good SEO foundations make AEO stronger.
What is an llms.txt file?
llms.txt is a short plain-text file on your website that summarises your business for AI tools, in a format they can read easily.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend me?
No one can guarantee what an AI tool says. We make sure your business gives these tools clear, accurate and consistent information, which is what they rely on.
