AEO and GEO are the SEO of generative engines. We optimize your site, your schema and your citations so ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity mention you, not your competitors, when your potential customer asks. Google's AI Overviews already capture 30% of clicks on informational searches. Your brand has to be there.
Why AEO matters in 2026
30 to 40 percent of searches in 2026 end in a ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini answer instead of a Google click. Without AEO, you lose that traffic.
ChatGPT and Claude prefer citing pages with FAQPage schema and concise Q&A answers. Without schema, you simply don't show up.
Few agencies have a clear AEO/GEO offering yet. Being the first answer in your sector is worth more than perfecting classic SEO too late.

Frequently asked questions
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) are disciplines that make your business show up when a user asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity. Classic SEO optimizes for Google's ranking of 10 blue links. AEO and GEO optimize for LLM-generated answers with citations. They are complementary, not mutually exclusive.
Our AEO/GEO work starts with a one-off audit and implementation from $190 USD. For continuous LLM citation monitoring you add the dedicated GEO service from $390 USD/mo. It includes schema markup, structured FAQs, content briefs, a knowledge graph and citation monitoring across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity.
Citations in ChatGPT and Claude start appearing 30 to 60 days after implementing full AEO (FAQPage schema, structured content, knowledge graph). For Gemini and Perplexity, 45 to 90 days. Full results arrive once each LLM completes its crawl, index and retrieval cycle.
It works in both. ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini index Spanish content with the same depth as English. We optimize for natural queries in the language your customers actually use, whether that is "AI agency for medical practices" or its Spanish equivalent.
No. Classic SEO remains critical for traffic from Google. AEO/GEO adds the generative layer where 30 to 40 percent of search traffic is moving in 2026. We recommend running both in parallel: the AEO/GEO audit is one-off, while classic SEO lives inside the monthly Growth Retainer.
No. In fact we recommend the opposite for new businesses: first validate your product or offer, generate your first customers, and enter SEO once you have measurable organic traffic. Doing SEO without traction burns money: the algorithm needs real usage signals to reward you. MD's standard entry point is the Growth Retainer, from $290 USD/mo.
