Show Up Where People Actually Ask Questions Now
Search has changed. People still Google, sure. But they also ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, and every other box on the internet that answers back. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) are how we help your business become the answer, not just another link. We make your site easier to understand, easier to trust, and easier to quote, so you show up in summaries, snippets, and AI results without turning your homepage into robot soup.
Our Approach
We start with what your customers are actually asking. Not just keywords, but real questions, real pain points, and real “please explain this like I’m busy” moments. Then we map those questions to pages that should exist (or pages that need help).
AI tools love clear, specific answers. Humans do too. We tighten up your pages so they are structured, scannable, and confident. You keep your voice. We just remove the fluff that makes people bounce.
We improve technical signals that help search engines and AI systems understand your site: site structure, internal linking, headings, accessibility, speed, indexability, and structured data where it makes sense.
We create and optimize content that earns trust: FAQs that do not feel like filler, comparison pages that actually compare, guides that explain the “why,” and service pages that answer objections before the sales call.
Rankings are fine, but we care about outcomes. We track what questions you are showing up for, what pages are getting discovered, and what happens next: calls, forms, demos, purchases, and qualified leads.
Answer engines evolve fast. Your site should not be a “set it and forget it” museum exhibit. We iterate, expand what works, prune what does not, and keep your content aligned with what people are asking this quarter, not three years ago.
AEO / GEO Services
Here are the specific ways we help you earn visibility in modern search and AI answers.
Question and Intent Mapping
We find the questions your buyers ask right before they convert, then build a content map that answers them clearly. This includes “how it works,” pricing expectations, comparisons, and objections that keep deals stuck.
Answer-First Page Optimization
We rewrite and restructure key pages so they can be understood quickly by humans and machines. Think: better headings, better summaries, clearer definitions, stronger internal linking, and fewer paragraphs that wander off into the woods.
Technical Cleanup for Visibility
We tune the technical foundation that impacts visibility: crawlability, indexing, site architecture, performance, and accessibility. If search engines struggle to read your site, answer engines will struggle too.
Structured Data and Entity Signals
We implement structured data where it helps, and only where it makes sense. This can include Organization, Website, Breadcrumbs, Products, Services, and more, depending on your site. The goal is clarity, not “schema for schema’s sake.”
Citation-Worthy Content
We create content that earns citations and quotes. Guides, glossaries, comparison pages, and “best practices” content that is specific, accurate, and grounded in your real process. This is the stuff that gets referenced.
Engineers do the AEO work. And we write the code.
Doug Black, founder and CEO, and our senior engineering team connect your search goals to the work inside your website. The engineers who scope the work are the people making the changes.
We fix the implementation
Schema, CMS templates, indexing problems, and internal links are part of the job. You can work with the team that diagnoses an issue and ships the fix.
We know your platform
Our platform experience includes ExpressionEngine, WordPress, Shopify, Laravel, Vue, and Craft CMS. We start with what your organization already runs.
We make progress reviewable
A fixed prompt set, dated observations, cited source URLs, and a record of shipped changes make the work visible. Where analytics permits, we connect that work to referrals and qualified inquiries.
Start with an audit. Scope the work you need.
Paid engagements are quoted individually. We agree on scope and pricing before work begins.
- Audit: establish a prompt baseline, review your business identity and priority pages, and identify technical barriers.
- Foundation: implement agreed content, template, structured data, and internal linking fixes.
- Ongoing: repeat visibility checks, review referrals and inquiries, and improve content as customer questions change.

Free AI Visibility Audit for Pittsburgh BusinessesPittsburgh AEO and GEO: your questions answered
What is AEO and how is it different from SEO?
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) makes your content easier to find, understand, and use in answers. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) applies that work to AI-generated responses, while SEO supports visibility in search results more broadly. They share foundations: accessible pages, clear content, accurate business information, and technical SEO.
How do you measure whether my business shows up in ChatGPT or Perplexity?
We agree on a fixed set of questions your customers ask and repeat those checks monthly across the selected engines. We record the date, engine, prompt, whether your business is mentioned, its position when there is a list, and the cited source URLs. Where analytics access is available, we also review identifiable AI referrals and inquiries; these are samples of visibility, not a complete count of every AI answer.
How long does AEO take to show results?
There is no fixed timeline for an AI engine to discover a change or cite your business. We start with a baseline, document the fixes, and compare results monthly as pages are recrawled and new mentions appear. Your starting point, competition, and the sources each engine uses all affect progress.
How much does AEO/GEO cost for a Pittsburgh business?
Our Free AI Visibility Audit for Pittsburgh Businesses is a no-cost starting point. Paid work is quoted for your scope: a deeper audit, foundation fixes, or ongoing content and measurement. Our AEO/GEO cost calculator shows planning ranges for one-time work and monthly programs. We confirm deliverables and final pricing before work begins.
Do you need to rebuild my website to do AEO?
Usually, we start by improving the site you already have. We inspect its content, templates, structured data, internal links, and crawlability before recommending changes. If the platform prevents a necessary fix, we explain the limitation and options before proposing a rebuild.
Do you work with ExpressionEngine, WordPress, and Shopify sites?
Yes. Our developers work with ExpressionEngine, WordPress, and Shopify, as well as Laravel, Vue, and Craft CMS. We can make changes in your templates and CMS directly, with the approach shaped by your platform and access.
Can you guarantee we will be recommended by ChatGPT?
No. We do not control which businesses ChatGPT or any other engine recommends, and results can vary between searches. What we commit to is the agreed work: documented technical fixes, accurate content and structured data, and reporting against a consistent prompt set.
