AEO, GEO & answer engines

Get visible in AI search when your customer never clicks through

More and more searches end in a generated answer rather than ten blue links. We optimise your content for AEO and GEO, so that the AI services your customers actually use mention and cite your business. Find out how you appear in AI search today.

What a generated answer looks like Illustrative example
“Who can help with SEO in Bergen?”

The answer names a few suppliers in the body text and links to the sources it draws on. If you are not among the sources, you are not in the answer, however well you rank below it.

Source 1Source 2Source 3
This is an example we wrote ourselves to show the shape. It is not an answer from Google, ChatGPT or Copilot, and it says nothing about who is actually named today.

Most people still think of SEO as ranking on Google. But more and more answers are now delivered directly — in Google AI Overviews, in ChatGPT and Gemini, and in voice and chat search. Then being on the first page isn't enough; you have to be the source the machines trust.

We help you build that trust — with structured content, clear authority and a technical foundation that makes you easy to understand for both people and models. SEO, AEO and GEO work together, not separately.

AEO

Answer Engine Optimization

Optimisation for direct answers in Google, voice and chat search — where the user gets one answer, not ten links. We structure the content so it's fit to be the answer.

GEO

Generative Engine Optimization

Become the source generative models like ChatGPT, Gemini and AI Overviews cite when they build answers. We build the authority and signals the models pick up.

AI

AI in content & analytics

We use artificial intelligence smartly — for research, structure and analysis — without compromising quality, source control or your own voice.

Three kinds of AI evidence, and the difference between them

The industry mixes these three together, often deliberately. We keep them visually separate, both on our own pages and in the reports you get from us.

Illustrative example

Something we wrote ourselves

Used to explain how a generated answer is put together. Dashed border and a label every time. It never names a company as though an AI service had chosen it.

Proves: ingenting. Det er en tegning.
Observed mention

One answer, at one point in time

An actual observation, with platform, query, date and stored evidence. It says what happened that day, for that query, not what happens tomorrow.

Proves: at det skjedde én gang. Genererte svar varierer med tid, bruker og modell.
Measured visibility

A trend over time

Many observations on a fixed query set, measured repeatedly, plus what the platforms themselves report. This is the only one that can honestly be called a trend.

Proves: retning, hvis metoden er den samme hver gang.
What nobody can promise. Ingen leverandør kan garantere at du havner i et AI-generert svar. Svarene er ikke-deterministiske: samme søk kan gi ulikt svar til to personer på samme dag. Det vi kan gjøre er å måle det, og jobbe systematisk med det som faktisk påvirker sannsynligheten.

Our own AI visibility

We measure ourselves with the same method we use on clients. The numbers below come from Studio once measurement is running.

The fields are empty because measurement has not started, not because the number is low. We do not put estimates here. Once the series is complete, the module shows measured coverage and the date of the latest observation.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What are AEO and GEO?

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) make your content citable in AI-generated answers like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity.

How is it different from regular SEO?

SEO is about placement in the search results. AEO and GEO are about being chosen as a source in AI answers. We work with both because they reinforce each other.

How do we become visible in AI answers?

With clear structure, structured data (schema), citable answers and credibility. We build the content so AI understands and reproduces it correctly.

Is this relevant already?

Yes. More and more searches are answered by AI. Being early gives you a head start while competitors still only think in classic SEO.

What does the AI say about your business today?

We check how you appear in AI-generated answers — and what it takes to get mentioned.
