What AEO services actually involve
AI visibility audit
Every engagement starts with the numbers: how often ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, and AI Overviews mention you, who they recommend instead, and which sources they trust. AEObot's scan does this in 30 seconds — free.
Prompt research
AEO targets buyer questions, not keywords. AEObot generates and tracks the prompt set for your category — definitions, comparisons, 'best X for Y', pricing — so effort goes where buyers actually ask.
Answer-ready content
AI engines cite content that answers a question directly, shows expertise, and is structured for machines. AEObot drafts articles targeting the prompts you lose, formatted for citation.
Schema & technical AEO
FAQ schema, clean headings, llms.txt — the technical layer that makes your pages easy for engines to quote. AEObot ships free generators and builds schema into everything it writes.
Monitoring & reporting
Weekly re-scans, alerts when visibility drops or a new competitor appears, and a Visibility Score trend you can put in front of stakeholders.
Agency vs. AEObot
Specialist AEO and GEO agencies are worth it for enterprises with complex sign-off chains — expect retainers in the four-to-five-figure-per-month range and a multi-week onboarding. AEObot exists for everyone else: the same audit → content → schema → monitoring loop, self-serve, from $50/month. If you're evaluating the space, our guides to answer engine optimization and generative engine optimization explain what the work involves — and the AI visibility platform page shows how AEObot measures it.
Frequently asked questions
What do answer engine optimization services include?
A complete AEO engagement covers five things: an audit of how AI engines currently see your brand, research into the buyer prompts that matter, content written to be cited in AI answers, structured data (FAQ and schema markup) so engines can parse it, and ongoing monitoring so you know when visibility changes. AEObot productizes all five.
Should I hire an AEO agency or use software?
Agencies make sense for large brands with complex approvals and budgets in the thousands per month. If you want the same loop — audit, content, schema, monitoring — without a retainer or sales calls, an AEO platform gets you running in minutes at a fraction of the cost. Many teams start with software and add specialist help later.
How much do AEO services cost?
Specialist AEO and GEO agencies typically charge retainers that run four to five figures per month. AEObot's self-serve plans start at $50/month, with a free instant scan so you can see your baseline before paying anything.
Do you support agencies working on client accounts?
Yes — agencies and consultants use AEObot to run visibility scans for clients, benchmark them against competitors, and generate answer-ready content, then present the Visibility Score trend as proof the work is landing.
How long until AEO work shows results?
AI engines refresh their sense of a brand at different speeds: AI Overviews and Perplexity can pick up new content within weeks, while assistant recommendations tend to move over one to three months as citations accumulate. Continuous monitoring is how you catch each win as it lands.
