How It Works
01
A scoping call, then a Visibility Audit establishes the baseline and a fixed program price.
02
A named senior pod executes against a fixed timeline — content, schema, and entity work together.
03
Optional Citation Retainer keeps coverage as models and competitors shift.
What “Done” Means
Your brand is cited by name in AI answers for the commercial prompts your buyers use.
Why Codenovai
Most agencies sell AEO as SEO with new vocabulary. It is not. Ranking first for a keyword and being named inside a generated answer are different mechanics — one rewards link authority, the other rewards extractable structure, entity clarity, and crawler access. We measure the thing that matters: whether the model says your name.
FAQ
- What is AEO and how is it different from SEO?
- AEO is Answer Engine Optimization — structuring content so AI systems cite you directly in generated answers. SEO optimises for rank and clicks on a results page. AEO optimises for citations inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI Overviews, where roughly 58% of searches now end without a click to any website.
- Can you actually influence what ChatGPT or Perplexity says?
- You can influence it, not control it. Answer engines pick sources that are crawlable, structurally extractable, entity-unambiguous, and corroborated elsewhere. We fix all four. No honest provider guarantees a citation for a given prompt, and anyone who does is selling you something they cannot deliver.
- How do you measure AEO?
- Four metrics: citation frequency (how often an engine names you), share of voice against named competitors, context quality (positive, neutral, or negative framing), and source attribution (which of your URLs gets cited). We baseline 50 commercial prompts before work starts, then re-run the identical set monthly.
- How long before we get cited?
- Schema and crawler-access fixes register within days to a few weeks. Content restructuring typically shows movement in 4–8 weeks. Entity consolidation is the slowest — it depends on third-party signals like Google Business Profile, Wikidata, and Crunchbase, and usually takes one to two quarters to fully settle.
- Do we still need traditional SEO?
- Yes. Answer engines draw heavily on the same crawled and ranked corpus Google indexes, so organic authority still feeds AI citations. AEO is additive, not a replacement. In practice the two share most technical foundations — schema, crawlability, site structure — and diverge mainly in how content is written.
- Which engines and markets do you cover?
- ChatGPT including ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Google Gemini and AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. Each weights sources differently, so we optimise for all four rather than one. We work with B2B companies in the UAE, wider GCC, UK, and worldwide — the mechanics are the same in every market.
- Is this a one-off project or ongoing?
- Both are available. The 4–8 week program does the structural work — content, schema, entity, measurement — and hands you the playbook. The optional retainer matters because models retrain, competitors publish, and the prompts buyers ask shift; a position earned in Q1 is not automatically held in Q3.
