AEO agency for
answer engine optimization

An AEO agency does answer engine optimization: optimizing your brand to be the answer AI engines give. When a buyer asks ChatGPT or Perplexity who to choose in your category, the model returns a direct answer, and an AEO agency works to make sure your brand is the one it names.

Answer engines collapsed the old funnel. There is no list of links to compare, just a recommendation. AEO is how you make sure that recommendation is yours instead of a competitor's.

We run the full AEO program, from auditing how engines answer questions in your category to building the content and signals that earn the recommendation:

Buyers increasingly ask AI for a recommendation instead of researching a shortlist themselves. The brand named in that answer wins the consideration that used to be spread across a whole results page, and the brands AI trusts today become its defaults tomorrow.

Winning the answer means coordinating content, structure, and mentions across surfaces most teams never audit. An AEO agency that runs this daily brings a proven playbook to your category instead of experimenting on your budget.

Most AEO companies are SEO shops that added a service line. RankCite was built for answer engines, and we run our own product that tracks how AI answers questions about your brand, so our work is driven by live data rather than guesswork.

We are led by Gonçalo Canhoto, who publishes the actual AEO playbooks openly and was invited to the category's industry events by its own leaders. You are hiring a team with a public track record in answer engine optimization, not an anonymous reseller.
