FAQ
What is Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of structuring your website’s content so AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews choose to cite your business when generating answers to relevant questions. Unlike traditional SEO which targets ranked links, AEO targets AI-generated answer citations.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO gets you ranked as a blue link in Google results. AEO gets your content used as the source inside an AI-generated answer. The content strategies overlap but differ — AEO requires shorter, direct “answer-first” writing, FAQ-structured content, and schema markup that traditional SEO doesn’t prioritise.
How long does AEO take to show results?
Google AI Overviews update frequently and some citation gains can appear within 4–8 weeks of publishing well-structured content with the right schema. ChatGPT and Perplexity typically index new content within 30–60 days via their web crawlers.
Does AEO replace SEO?
No — they’re complementary. AEO without SEO means AI tools can cite you but users can’t find your site directly. SEO without AEO means you rank in traditional search but miss the growing AI-answer channel. We always run both together.
Is AEO relevant for local Perth businesses?
Yes. AI tools are increasingly answering local questions — “best dentist near me,” “marketing agency Perth,” “plumber Joondalup” — and local AEO is one of the least competitive channels in Perth right now.
