AEO & AI Discoverability Consulting
Ensure your brand and content are accurately represented in AI-generated answers, chatbots, and generative search results.
What is AI Discoverability?
AI Discoverability (also known as Answer Engine Optimization, or AEO) focuses on ensuring your brand and content are accurately represented in AI-powered search experiences and large language models. As AI-powered search grows, how your content appears in AI-generated answers directly affects your visibility and traffic.
Through Visively, I help you optimise for entity recognition, knowledge graph presence and structured data that AI systems use to understand and cite your content. I ensure your expertise is discoverable whether users search traditionally or through conversational AI interfaces.
AEO & AI Discoverability Key Elements
Why Choose Visively
Expertise in AI Search Ecosystems
AI search attracts hype and metrics that measure noise. I work from what the evidence supports: how LLMs actually retrieve, ground and cite content, and which signals genuinely affect visibility. You get technical SEO rigour applied to AI search, not speculation.
Benefits for Your Business
Stay visible as search shifts toward AI, with realistic expectations about what that involves. I strengthen the foundations that feed both traditional and generative search, focus effort where citations are genuinely achievable, and leave your team frameworks they can apply to future content.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AEO?
AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimization: the practice of optimising content for AI-powered answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews. It's the evolution of SEO for conversational AI experiences, focusing on how your brand appears when users ask questions to AI assistants.
Is AEO the same as GEO or AI SEO?
Yes. GEO (generative engine optimisation), AI SEO, and AEO are different labels for the same work: optimising how your brand appears in AI-generated answers. I use AI Discoverability and AEO on this site, but if you've been quoted for GEO or AI SEO elsewhere, you're comparing like for like.
Is AEO / AI Discoverability the same as traditional SEO?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and AI Discoverability build upon traditional SEO foundations but extend to optimisation for the retrieval systems that feed AI responses. The technical foundations are shared with traditional search—what differs is ensuring your content is structured for grounding and entity recognition by AI systems.
Should we focus on AEO or traditional SEO first?
Strong traditional SEO provides the foundation for AI visibility. I recommend ensuring your technical SEO and content fundamentals are solid before expanding into AEO and AI-specific optimisation. Both work together synergistically.
How do you measure AI visibility and success?
I focus on what's reliably measurable: knowledge graph presence, structured data validity, and referral traffic from AI search features. For brand representation in AI responses, I use targeted spot-checks rather than mass tracking. AI outputs are probabilistic, so aggregated "share of voice" metrics often measure noise rather than signal.
What is the typical investment for AI Discoverability consulting?
AI Discoverability engagements typically begin with an assessment of your current AI visibility, followed by strategy development and implementation support. Investment varies based on scope, from focused assessments to comprehensive entity authority programmes. This service often complements existing Technical SEO work.
