When buyers ask AI, does it name you?
Your next customer is asking ChatGPT, Google and Perplexity who to hire. The answer lists three brands. We make sure yours is one of them.
Optimized for ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Claude, AI Mode.
Clients
“We were ranking on page one for our main keywords and still never showed up when prospects asked ChatGPT for payroll tools. Ten weeks after ZEPREACH rebuilt our comparison pages and cleaned up our G2 profile, we started appearing in the answer. Our sales team now hears “ChatGPT recommended you” on discovery calls.”
“Most agencies sent us dashboards. ZEPREACH sent us a task board and then actually did the tasks. I can open the workspace any morning and see what changed on our site and why.”
“International patients research us in English and Arabic before they fly in. Our clinic now comes up in AI answers in both languages, and enquiries from the UK and Germany have noticeably grown.”
“They found that our CDN was quietly blocking PerplexityBot. One config change and a month later Perplexity was citing our security guides by name.”
“Legal is a cautious industry, so I expected generic content. Instead their editor worked with our partners to write plain answers to the questions clients actually ask, and every claim was checked.”
“We sell in four EU countries. ZEPREACH set up hreflang properly, localised our product answers and tracked each market separately. For the first time I can show the board where AI search is working.”
The short version
Answer engine optimization is the practice of making a brand easy for AI assistants and answer engines, such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini, to find, trust and quote, so the brand is named in the answer when a buyer asks a question.
Our AEO serviceGenerative engine optimization is the closely related work of earning mentions and citations inside answers written by generative AI models. It combines technical access for AI crawlers, structured data, answer-first content and the third-party sources those models rely on.
Our GEO serviceWhat changed
A procurement lead in Chicago, a founder in Manchester, a patient in Dubai: they all start the same way now. They type a full question into an AI tool and read the answer. Many never click a single link.
That answer is assembled from sources the engine trusts. If your site is hard to crawl, vague about what you do, or missing from the review sites and articles the engine reads, you are left out. Ranking on page one does not fix that by itself.
Services
Your buyers now type full questions into ChatGPT and Google before they ever reach your site. We make sure the answer they get includes you.
Learn moreGEO is about the story a model tells when someone asks about your category. We work on the sources it learns from and the pages it reads live.
Learn moreChatGPT is now where many buyers start their research. We make your site readable for OpenAI crawlers and give the model good reasons to name you.
Learn moreAI Overviews now sit on top of many searches your buyers run. We help your pages become the sources Google links inside that summary.
Learn morePerplexity searches the web live and shows its sources right next to the answer. Researchers, analysts and B2B buyers use it heavily. We help them find you there.
Learn moreOur free score gives you the headline. The full audit gives you the reasons, the competitors who are winning, and a fix list in priority order.
Learn moreAnswer engines think in entities: companies, people, products and places linked by facts. If those facts about you are missing or inconsistent, they hesitate to name you.
Learn moreWe write pages that answer the question in the first two lines, then prove it. Real writers, subject experts and editors, not a content mill.
Learn moreWhen AI recommends a product, it is usually repeating what other trusted sites say. We get your brand into those sources.
Learn moreHow it works
Tools can tell you that you are invisible. They cannot rewrite your pricing page, pitch a trade journalist or fix your schema. A strategist and an editor are assigned to your account from day one.
See the full processWe run your buyer questions through six answer engines and record who gets named, who gets cited and what is said about you. That is your baseline.
Crawler access, schema, entity data, page structure. The unglamorous work that decides whether an engine can read and trust you at all.
Answer-first pages, comparison content, and citations on the sites engines already trust: review platforms, industry press, Reddit, YouTube.
Weekly prompt tracking and a live workspace. You see every task, every change and every new citation as it happens.
Your workspace
Every client gets a private dashboard. Your score history, the task board our team is working through, suggestions from your strategist, and a secure place to share access. Ask a question there and a person answers it.
Worldwide
We work remotely with brands in any country. Every program is planned around the market you actually sell in.
We test the buyer questions from the locations that matter to you, because AI answers change from city to city.
Answer-first content and prompt tracking in English and the other languages your buyers use, with correct hreflang.
The review sites, directories and press each market trusts, and the advertising and privacy rules that apply there.

FAQ
Straight answers. If yours is not here, ask us on a call and we will add it.
AEO is the work of getting your brand cited and recommended inside AI-generated answers, such as ChatGPT search, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity. Traditional SEO aims for a ranking position. AEO aims to be one of the few names the answer actually mentions.
They overlap heavily. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) usually refers to visibility in generative engines like ChatGPT and Gemini, while AEO is the broader term for any engine that returns a direct answer. We run them as one program because the same signals drive both.
Yes. Most answer engines retrieve pages from a search index before they write a reply, so a site that ranks poorly is rarely cited. We treat technical SEO as the floor and build AEO on top of it, rather than selling one against the other.
Foundational fixes such as crawler access and schema usually show an effect within four to eight weeks, once engines recrawl. Winning a recommendation for competitive buyer questions typically takes three to six months, because it depends on third-party citations as well as your own pages.
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. AI answers vary by user, location and phrasing. What we commit to is measurable progress: more prompts where you are mentioned, more citations to your pages, and a clear record of the work behind it.
Anywhere your buyers are. We work remotely with brands in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and beyond, in English and other languages. Each market has its own engines, review sites and regulations, and we plan the work around them.
