Built for the AI Search Era
Answer Engine Optimization.
01 — Why It Matters
When someone asks ChatGPT "who's the best dentist near me?", the AI gives one or two answers. AEO is how you become one of those answers.
A meaningful share of search has shifted to AI assistants — ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini. These systems pick a small number of citations per query. If your site isn't structured for them, you're invisible to that traffic. Traditional SEO doesn't fix this. AEO does.
We build AEO into every site by default — and we'll audit your existing site for $499.

What AEO Means
Most sites have zero of these six. We build all of them in.
Curated llms.txt
A plain-text file LLMs read first to understand your business. We write yours by hand — not auto-generated.
Full Schema.org Markup
LocalBusiness, Service, Offer, FAQPage, and Review schema on every relevant page. Machine-readable facts.
Explicit AI Bot Access
GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and Google-Extended allowed in robots.txt. Most sites block them by accident.
FAQ Blocks for Citation
Q&A formatted exactly the way LLMs prefer to extract and cite. Direct answers, no fluff, schema-marked.
Entity Disambiguation
sameAs links to your Google Business Profile, LinkedIn, and socials — proves you are the real entity, not a competitor.
Comparison Content
Side-by-side comparisons LLMs cite when answering "X vs Y" or "best X in [city]" queries. Built into your site.

04 — FAQ
Common Questions
What is AEO?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the practice of structuring website content so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can find, understand, and cite it. It is the next evolution of SEO for the AI search era.
Is AEO different from SEO?
SEO is for traditional Google search results. AEO is for AI-generated answers. They share fundamentals (good content, clear structure), but AEO requires specific elements traditional SEO does not address: llms.txt, comprehensive Schema.org markup, explicit AI bot allows, and citation-formatted content blocks.
How can I tell if my current website is AEO-ready?
Quick test: open ChatGPT and ask "What does [your business name] do?" If the answer is generic, missing, or wrong, you are not AEO-ready. The fuller version is our $499 AEO Audit, which scores your site against 25 specific AEO criteria.
What makes OnePoint's AEO different from other agencies?
Most agencies offer AEO as a separate paid service. We build it into every website we deliver — llms.txt, full Schema.org markup, explicit AI bot allows, and citation-formatted FAQ blocks are the default, not an upsell. We also publish a public AEO methodology and a $499 audit anyone can buy.
