[01] Definition

What is AEO?

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of making a brand easier for AI systems to find, understand and cite when they answer a user's question.

It combines technical signals (schema, crawlability, entity data), answer-ready content and credible third-party references. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) describes the same goal for generative AI specifically.

Citedly plans start at $799/month. Growth, our most popular plan, is $1,499/month. A one-time $299 audit is available first.

How long does AEO take to work?

Technical and on-page fixes are often picked up first. Third-party authority compounds over several months.

No. AI output isn't deterministic. We guarantee the work and transparent measurement every month.
