Questions and answers.
What AEO is, what it costs, how long it takes, and how we show it’s working. If your question isn’t here, ask us on a call.
AEO basics
AEO is answer engine optimization: getting your business named when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google AI for a recommendation. SEO competes for a spot on a list of ten. AEO competes to be the answer.
Close enough. AEO, GEO (generative engine optimization) and AI SEO are different names for one goal: be the business AI recommends.
Yes. Google still sends plenty of local calls, and AI tools read the same websites. We run SEO and AEO as one plan, so the work pays off twice.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI Overviews and AI Mode. Google’s matter most for local searches today, but customers use all of them, so we check all four.
Google’s AI draws on it for local questions, and other assistants read the directories and review sites that repeat its facts. A complete, correct profile is one of our first fixes.
Working with AiM
It depends on your starting point: how competitive your area is and what is already in place. The AI Visibility Score is free, and you get a written quote after a 30-minute call.
Access to your website, Google Business Profile, Search Console and analytics in week one, quick yes-or-fix approvals on what we send, and a heads-up before any site rebuild.
Fixes ship in the first month. AI answers move slower: plan on 90 to 180 days. Anyone promising next week is usually counting searches for your own name.
The founder, Ayo Omoloja. There’s no account manager in the middle: the person on the call is the person doing the work.
Yes. Pages, schema, listings and reports live on your accounts. If you leave, they stay with you.
No. The first 90 days give the work time to show up in AI answers. After that it’s month to month.
No. AiM is based in Fairfield, Ohio, and most local work is in Greater Cincinnati, but the work can be done remotely and the free score works for any business.
Results and measurement
No, and be wary of anyone who says they can. Nobody controls what a model says. We guarantee the work and the reporting. If AI still isn’t naming you after a quarter, you get the reason in writing.
The same agreed buying questions every month across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI, with full answers and dated screenshots saved. The method is on our How We Measure page.
Because AI almost always knows a business when you type its name, which proves nothing about whether it recommends you to a stranger. Branded questions are tracked apart, for accuracy, and never count as progress.
AI answers are probabilistic. Phrasing, timing and model updates all change the list. That is why we keep the questions fixed and judge by the trend across months, not one run.
Yes. Every report includes the questions we asked, so you can ask them yourself and compare. If something in a report is wrong, tell us and we correct it in writing.
The free score and tools
It asks ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity five buyer questions about your business, two that don’t name you and three that do, then scores the answers out of 100 across sentiment, presence quality, brand recognition, share of voice and market position. Free, one time, no account, no email.
Yes. No account, no card and no email. The AI Visibility Score needs only your website address and shows the result on the page.
The generators and the checklist run in your browser and send nothing to us. The AI Crawler Check and Schema Checker read one public page and keep nothing. The AI Visibility Score reads your site and asks the AI tools about your business, and we are told the address and score of each check.
