What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the work of making your content the answer a search or AI system gives, not just a link in a list. It means answer-first pages, clear question-and-answer structure, consistent facts about your company across the web, and structured data that backs up what the page already says.
what we run
what you get.
question research
We collect the questions buyers ask in Google, People Also Ask, Reddit and AI chats, and rank them by how close they are to a purchase.
answer-first pages
Every page leads with a direct answer in plain language, then the detail. Easy for a person to scan and easy for an answer engine to quote.
entity facts
Who you are, what you sell, where and for how much, stated the same way on your site and on the profiles AI models read.
faq + structured data
FAQ sections and JSON-LD that match the visible text, so search engines can trust and reuse it.
answer tracking
We check which answers name you in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and AI Overviews, and report the change every sprint.
before you ask
fair questions.
What does an AEO agency do?
It researches the questions your buyers ask, rewrites and creates pages that answer them directly, keeps your company facts consistent across the web, and tracks whether answer engines quote you.
How much does AEO cost?
At Mad Method, AEO is part of SEO + GEO. An audit starts at $500 (₹20K in India): a diagnosis and a prioritised plan, with the fixes done in the monthly work. Monthly work starts at $900 for one pillar and $1,500 for the full growth retainer (₹40K and ₹75K in India), with a 3-month minimum.
What is the difference between AEO and GEO?
They overlap. AEO focuses on being the direct answer to a question, in featured snippets or AI replies. GEO (generative engine optimization) focuses on being cited and described correctly by generative AI models. We run them together.
Does schema markup alone get us into AI answers?
No. AI models mostly quote what is written on the page. Schema helps search engines confirm those facts, but the facts have to be in visible text first.
How fast does AEO work?
Rewriting existing pages answer-first can change featured snippets and AI answers within weeks. New topics take longer, usually two to four months.
