AEO marketing that makes your brand the answer.
Your buyers now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews who to hire. White Wolf is an AEO agency that structures your site, content, and brand signals so answer engines name you, quote you, and link to you.
See which AI answers mention you today, and which ones name your competitors instead. Get the free snapshot.
Page one isn’t the finish line anymore. AI Overviews and chat assistants answer the question before anyone clicks, and they only cite a handful of sources. If your pages aren’t built to be quoted, your competitors become the answer.
You can rank on Google and still lose the AI answer.
More buyers now ask an AI assistant for a recommendation instead of scrolling a list of links. That creates a new risk: your site still ranks, but the AI summary names a competitor, or gets your services, location, or pricing wrong.
Answer engine optimization closes that gap. We make your business easy for AI systems to understand, verify, and recommend, using practical changes you can measure, not trend-chasing.
AEO services built for AI search.
AI visibility audit
We test the prompts your buyers actually use across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews, and map where you are cited, missing, or misrepresented.
Answer-first content
Question-led pages, definition boxes, and FAQ sections written so answer engines can lift a clean, accurate answer.
Schema & entity markup
Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, and Article schema, plus one consistent entity profile across the web.
Citations & digital PR
Mentions on the lists, directories, reviews, and publications AI models pull from, so your brand gets repeated.
What is AEO, and how is it different from SEO?
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the practice of structuring content so AI-powered answer engines, like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, select it as the direct answer to a question. SEO earns a ranked link. AEO earns the answer itself. GEO builds the brand authority generative models rely on when they decide who to recommend.
Rank the link
Technical foundations, on-page optimization, and links. Still the base every answer engine crawls. See our SEO services.
Become the answer
Question-first structure, concise definitions, and schema so AI Overviews, featured snippets, and chat assistants quote you directly.
Be the brand AI trusts
Entity building, reviews, and third-party citations that make generative models confident enough to recommend you by name.
AI visibility reporting
Monthly reporting on AI citations, brand mentions, share of voice in AI answers, and the traffic and leads they send.
Be the answer, not one of many.
AEO improves how AI-driven search and assistants interpret and present your business. Here is what that work covers.
Clear, extractable facts
Services, locations, pricing ranges, and credentials stated plainly, so AI pulls accurate details from your site.
Credibility AI can verify
Reviews, citations, author bios, and schema that make your business a safe source to recommend.
Answers to buyer questions
Pages and posts that answer the high-intent questions buyers ask before they hire anyone.
Local and industry relevance
Signals that tie your brand to your city and your category, so you show up for the right prompts.
We build the websites, write the content, and run the SEO, so AEO is not a bolt-on. We fix schema in your templates, rewrite key pages in answer-first format, and publish the supporting articles, all in-house. And we test every tactic on our own sites before it touches yours.

AEO questions, answered
What is AEO marketing?
AEO (answer engine optimization) marketing is the work of making your brand the answer AI tools give. It structures your website, content, and brand signals so ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews cite and recommend you when buyers ask questions about your category.
What does an AEO agency do?
An AEO agency audits how AI assistants describe your brand, rewrites key pages in answer-first format, adds schema markup, builds third-party citations and reviews, publishes question-led content, and tracks AI citations and mentions every month.
What is the difference between AEO and SEO?
SEO earns a ranked link in Google results. AEO earns the answer itself, inside AI Overviews, featured snippets, and chat assistants. Good AEO depends on good SEO, which is why we run them together.
What is the difference between AEO and GEO?
AEO focuses on being selected as the direct answer to a question. GEO (generative engine optimization) focuses on the brand authority and citations that make generative models trust and recommend you. In practice, our AEO services cover both.
How long does AEO take to work?
Structural fixes like schema and answer-first rewrites can show up in AI answers within 4 to 8 weeks. Citation building and authority content compound over 3 to 6 months.
How do you measure AEO results?
We track AI citations and brand mentions across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews, your share of voice for priority prompts, AI referral traffic in analytics, and the leads it produces.
How much do AEO services cost?
AEO is usually bundled with SEO in a monthly retainer. Pricing depends on how many pages and prompts we target. Book a free AI visibility audit and we will give you a fixed quote.
Do you only work with Austin businesses?
No. We are based in Austin, TX and work with brands nationwide. AI search is not local by default, so AEO works the same for a Texas home builder or a national ecommerce brand.
