AEO Services Australia
Get recommended by AI—not just ranked.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI are how people find businesses now. If you're not optimised for answer engines, you're invisible to the fastest-growing search channel.
The Shift
Search is changing. Most businesses haven't noticed.
By 2026, 60% of searches will be AI-driven. People aren't scrolling through 10 blue links anymore—they're asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI for direct answers.
If you're not structured to be the answer, you won't even be in the conversation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions you're probably asking.
What's the difference between AEO and SEO?
SEO optimizes for ranking in a list of search results. AEO optimizes for being cited as the answer when someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity a question. SEO gets you listed; AEO gets you recommended.
How long until I see results?
Most clients see initial AI mentions within 8-12 weeks, with consistent recommendations by month 4-6. This is faster than traditional SEO because AI systems re-index more frequently and we're optimizing for high-value citations rather than rankings.
Do I still need traditional SEO?
Yes—they work together. SEO makes sure you're findable; AEO makes sure you're quotable. Our AEO work (schema, E-E-A-T, content structure) actually strengthens your traditional SEO as well.
What if it doesn't work?
We start with a free audit so you can see the opportunity before committing. If after 3 months you're not seeing measurable improvements in AI citations and mentions, we'll work with you to adjust strategy or part ways professionally. We only succeed if you're getting recommended by AI systems.
How do you track AI recommendations?
We test 50+ industry-relevant queries monthly across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI, and Gemini to track when your brand appears and how often you're cited. You'll receive a monthly report showing your AI visibility score, citation frequency, and competitive benchmarking.
What if I already have an SEO agency?
We're designed to complement, not replace. Your SEO agency handles rankings and backlinks; we handle AI citation and recommendation optimization. Most clients keep their existing SEO agency and add us for AEO.
Why is your pricing so much lower than other agencies?
We're new to Australia and offering introductory pricing to build our local portfolio. Our distributed team (Sydney + Manila) keeps overhead low, and we're focused solely on AEO rather than being a full-service agency. Lock in now—rates will increase once we have 10-15 Australian case studies.
