The 9-Pillar AEO Framework
Every pillar is essential. Skipping one creates a gap AI engines will fill with your competitor. We implement all nine — systematically, measurably.
Entity Mapping
We establish your brand, products, and people as named entities in Google's Knowledge Graph and across LLM training data — creating an authoritative identity AI engines recognise.
AI Visibility Checker
Enter your domain and see a snapshot of how visible your business is across the major AI search engines.
Industries We Specialise In
AEO strategy isn't one-size-fits-all. Each sector has different AI search behaviour, different query types, and different trust signals that LLMs prioritise.
Professional Services
Solicitors, accountants, consultants — where trust signals and authoritative answers drive client acquisition.
Healthcare & Wellness
Clinics, practitioners, and health brands where AI-cited expertise builds patient trust before the first appointment.
Hospitality & Tourism
Hotels, restaurants, and Irish tourism businesses where AI recommendations directly replace TripAdvisor and Google Maps.
E-commerce & Retail
Irish online stores competing with global giants — AEO levels the playing field by making local expertise the cited authority.
Financial Services
Regulated sectors where appearing in AI answers builds trust and pre-qualifies high-value leads before contact.
Technology & SaaS
B2B tech companies where AI assistants are now the primary research tool for procurement decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) focuses on ranking in Google's traditional list of blue links. AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) focuses on getting your business cited as the answer in AI-generated responses from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and similar tools.
