The Shift
Search changed. Most businesses haven't noticed yet.
People are no longer just searching Google. They are asking ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity for recommendations. These AI engines give one answer. Not ten blue links. One answer. You need to be it.
Most businesses have not started optimizing for AI search yet. That is the window. We help you get in early, build authority with AI engines, and own your category before your competitors figure out what is happening.

What We Do
What AEO covers
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity
When someone asks an AI for a recommendation in your category, your business needs to be the answer. We build the signals that make that happen.
Voice search
Voice queries are conversational and local. 'Best dentist near me' or 'who is the best HVAC company in Toronto' — your business needs to be what voice assistants say.
LLM optimization
Large language models pull from structured, authoritative sources. We make your content the source they cite.
Generative engine optimization
AI-generated search results and featured answers require a different approach than traditional SEO. We optimize your content to appear in AI summaries.
Structured data and schema
AI engines need clearly structured information to understand and recommend your business. We implement the schema markup that makes you easy to cite.
Conversational content
AEO content is written the way people ask questions, not the way people type keywords. We write for both.
The Early Mover Advantage
Search is evolving. Early adopters win.
Move First
Most businesses in your category have not started yet. Every week you wait, a competitor gets one week closer to owning your category in AI search.
Own Your Category
AI engines give one answer per query. The business that builds authority first becomes that answer and holds it.
Authority Compounds
Unlike ads that stop the moment you stop paying, AEO authority builds over time. The earlier you start, the stronger the signal, the harder you are to displace.
INDUSTRIES

We have spent years working with these industries. We know how your customers search, what makes them choose you, and exactly how to get your business in front of them.

FAQs
FAQs
What is AEO?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization. It is the practice of structuring your online presence so that AI platforms, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, recommend your business when users ask for help in your category. Traditional SEO gets you ranked on Google. AEO gets you recommended by AI.
Is AEO different from SEO?
They share the same foundation: quality content, authority, and structure. AEO goes further. It optimizes for conversational queries, AI summaries, and the way large language models pull and cite information. We build both as one system because you need both.
Do I need AEO if I already do SEO?
Yes. AI search is growing fast. Google itself is shifting toward AI-generated answers. Businesses that build AEO authority now will own their category in AI results. Those who wait will spend significantly more trying to catch up.
How do you measure AEO results?
We track AI citation frequency across platforms, featured snippet appearances, voice search rankings, and traffic from AI-driven sources. The signals are measurable and we report on them clearly every month.
Which industries benefit most from AEO?
Any service business where people ask questions before buying: dentists, contractors, clinics, lawyers, coaches, HVAC companies, gyms. If someone asks 'who is the best dentist near me' or 'best HVAC company in Toronto,' AEO is what puts your business in that answer.
How long does AEO take?
AI engines can start citing your structured content within the first 2 months of proper optimization. Full authority builds over 3 to 6 months as the content layer deepens and signals compound.
Do you need a website built by AH Media to get AEO?
We do our best work when we have full access to your website. If we built your site, the AEO foundation is already built in. If you have an existing site, we discuss access requirements on the call.
Can AEO work for a small local business?
Especially for a small local business. AI engines are being asked hyper-local questions constantly. The business that shows up when someone asks 'best plumber in Etobicoke' or 'top-rated chiropractor near me' wins that customer. AEO is how you become that answer.
