Your customers stopped scrolling Google. They ask AI instead.

"Who's a good immigration lawyer in Puerto Viejo?" "Best vacation rental in Costa Rica?" "A contractor near me?"

If your site isn't built for AI to read, you won't be cited — and right now, someone else is. That's not an SEO problem; it's an Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) problem. The good news: it's fixable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about AI visibility, AEO, and GEO.

What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of structuring your website and business data so AI tools — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews — cite and recommend you when people ask them questions. Where SEO chases a link on a results page, AEO aims to be the answer the AI actually gives.
What’s the difference between AEO and GEO?
None, really. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) are two names for the same discipline: making your business visible and citable inside AI-generated answers. Different acronym, same goal.
What’s the difference between SEO and AEO/GEO?
SEO optimizes for ranking in a list of links on Google. AEO/GEO optimizes for being named inside an AI’s answer. You can rank #1 on Google and still be invisible to ChatGPT — the two are complementary, not the same.
How do I know if my business is invisible to AI tools?
Ask one. Open ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity and type the question a customer would (“best [your service] in [your city]”). If a competitor gets named and you don’t, you’re invisible — and that’s exactly what our free audit measures.
What is an llms.txt file?
llms.txt is a plain-text file at the root of your site that gives AI models a clean, structured summary of who you are, what you offer, and how to describe you — a cheat sheet written for AI crawlers. (Ours lives at vizacat.com/llms.txt.)
Do I need schema markup if I’m a small local business?
Yes — arguably more than a big brand does. Schema (structured data) tells AI exactly what your business is, where it operates, what it costs, and what it offers, in a format machines trust. It’s one of the strongest signals for getting cited.
How long does it take to see results?
Technical foundations — schema, llms.txt, meta — are picked up within days to a few weeks of the next AI crawl. Competitive visibility (actually being named over rivals) builds over the following weeks as the monthly work compounds.
Is this a replacement for traditional SEO?
No. AEO/GEO is a new layer on top of SEO, not a replacement. Solid SEO still helps; AEO makes sure that as search shifts toward AI answers, your business doesn’t quietly disappear.
