AEO

Be the builder AI recommends.

Customers now ask ChatGPT, Google's AI answers and voice assistants questions like "who is the best custom home builder near me?" Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) makes sure your company is one these tools can find, trust and name.

What AEO means for a contractor

AI assistants build answers from sources they consider reliable: well-structured websites, consistent business information, reviews and mentions across the web. AEO strengthens each of these signals so your company shows up when someone asks an AI who to hire.

It builds on solid SEO rather than replacing it. The same clear service pages and strong reputation that rank on Google also make you easier for AI tools to recommend.

Questions

Answer Engine OptimizationFAQ.

What is the difference between SEO and AEO?

SEO focuses on ranking in Google's list of results. AEO focuses on being the business AI assistants name in their written answers. They share the same foundation, a strong, well-structured website and reputation, so we run them together.

Can I pay to be recommended by ChatGPT?

No. AI assistants do not sell recommendations. You earn them by being easy to understand, consistently described and well regarded across the sources those tools rely on.

Is AEO worth it for a small construction company?

Yes. Smaller local companies with clear service pages, strong reviews and consistent details are often easier for AI tools to recommend for local questions than large firms with generic websites.
