Answer Engine Optimization

Be the answer, not just a result

People now ask AI assistants and search engines for answers instead of scanning ten blue links. We make your brand the source those answers cite.

In short

Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the practice of structuring and publishing content so that AI assistants and answer features, such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, can find it, trust it and cite it in their answers. Pixodio's AEO service covers AI visibility audits, answer-ready content, structured data, authority building and citation monitoring.

AEO is the practice of optimizing your content so that AI assistants and answer features, such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, cite and recommend your brand.
