AEO Services

AEO vs GEO vs SEO.

AEO focuses on being the answer to a specific question. GEO focuses on how AI models describe and recommend your business overall. SEO is the foundation for both. Most firms need all three working together, and our plans combine them.

AEO Services

Our AEO process.

  1. 01

    Collect and prioritize the questions your clients ask.

    Map each question to one page so pages do not compete.

  3. 03

    Write or rewrite answers in your voice, for your approval.

  4. 04

    Add schema and internal links.

  5. 05

    Check monthly which answers are used by AI tools and search features (reporting).

FAQ

Common questions.

What is AEO?

Answer engine optimization: structuring content so search engines, voice assistants and AI tools can quote a clear answer from it.

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO helps pages rank in search results. AEO shapes the content itself so it can be used as a direct answer. Good AEO builds on good SEO.

Do AEO services include writing content?

Yes. On Growth and Pro plans we write or rewrite question-led pages each month, and you approve everything before it goes live.

Does AEO help with voice search?

Voice assistants also look for short, clear answers, so the same structure helps. We do not promise placement in any assistant.

How long does AEO take to show results?

Structural changes are usually picked up within weeks. Whether an answer is used depends on competition and the tool, so we track it monthly.

How much do AEO services cost?

AEO is included in RATdeck AI Visibility plans: $349, $690 (recommended) or $1,190 per month, 3-month minimum.
