What an AEO agency does
What an Answer Engine Optimization Agency Does
An AEO agency helps your brand become a source AI search can cite—not only a blue link in traditional results. Ranked links still matter; being named inside answers is the additional job.
Answer-ready content
Pages that open with clear answers, evidence, and comparisons buyers actually ask.
Authority & citations
Third-party mentions and proof so models have more than your own site to trust.
AI visibility tracking
Prompt-level observations, mentions, citations, and traffic reported as separate signals.

AEO and SEO together
AEO vs Traditional SEO (and Why TopFound Runs Both)
An AI SEO agency still needs classic SEO fundamentals. Google’s generative AI features rest on indexed, people-first pages—not a secret AEO hack.
What SEO still owns
- • Crawlable, indexable pages
- • Helpful content and internal linking
- • Authority and technical health
- • Rankings and organic discovery
What AEO adds
- • Answer-first extractable passages
- • Entity clarity and useful schema
- • Citation and mention strategy
- • Prompt-level AI visibility measurement
Align with Google Search Central guidance: be eligible for snippets, stay people-first, and treat AI features as additive to SEO—not a replacement. Managed AEO services program

How we work
Our Process — Find Out, Fix It, Prove It
The same triad as our homepage: discover where AI cannot find you, change what blocks citation, and measure whether you are becoming the answer.
01 · Find Out
Can AI find you?
We test the questions your customers ask and uncover where your brand is invisible or losing to competitors.
02 · Fix It
What needs to change?
We fix the content, technical, and authority signals that help AI understand, trust, and cite your brand.
03 · Prove It
Are you becoming the answer?
We track prompts, mentions, citations, and the traffic outcomes that matter—without inventing vanity rankings.

Who This Is For (and Who It Isn’t)
A good fit when
- • You need managed AEO and SEO execution—not only a monitoring dashboard
- • Buyers already ask AI for vendors, comparisons, or recommendations in your category
- • You can invest in quality content and approve reasonable technical changes
- • You want Growth, Scale, or a scoped Custom plan with clear weekly reporting
Not a fit when
- • You need overnight results without a 90+ day execution window
- • You want set-it-and-forget-it with no stakeholder input
- • You compete primarily on lowest price rather than clear value
- • You operate in restricted industries we do not serve
If none of the exclusions apply, a free audit is the fastest way to check fit.
Proof
Proof and Transparency
We publish anonymized Google Search Console exhibits from live programs. We do not invent agency-term rankings or citation guarantees for this page.

AEO Agency FAQ
What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is how brands become sources AI search can cite—not only rank as blue links. It builds on technical SEO, clear answers, entities, proof, and measurement across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and related engines.
How should I evaluate or choose an AEO agency?
Look for managed execution (not only a monitoring dashboard), clear coverage of technical SEO plus answer-ready content and authority, honest measurement of prompts/mentions/citations, and published plans you can compare. TopFound is one managed option: a free AEO audit at /schedule-call or the self-serve report at /aeo-report shows fit before you commit. For a longer buyer checklist, see /resources/how-to-choose-an-aeo-agency.
What do AEO services include, and what does TopFound run?
AEO services typically cover technical and schema work, entity clarity, answer-ready content, off-site authority and citations, and AI visibility tracking—run alongside classic SEO. TopFound runs those workstreams as one managed program with a dedicated strategist and Technical Operations Specialist, weekly written updates, and weekly strategy calls. Full deliverables live on /services and /pricing.
How do brands get cited in ChatGPT?
Engines cite sources they can crawl, understand, and trust: people-first answer pages, clear entities, useful schema, and credible off-site proof—then you measure linked sources honestly. TopFound ships that work as managed AEO; no agency can guarantee a ChatGPT citation. Practical playbook: /resources/how-to-get-cited-in-chatgpt.
Is TopFound an SEO agency or only an AEO agency?
Both. TopFound runs SEO and AEO as one managed program so brands can rank in Google and get cited in AI answers.
How is an AI SEO agency different from a traditional SEO agency?
A traditional SEO agency focuses on rankings and organic traffic. An AI SEO / AEO agency also engineers answer-ready content, entity clarity, citation signals, and prompt-level visibility tracking for generative answer experiences.
How do you help brands get cited in ChatGPT, AI Overviews, and Perplexity?
We improve the inputs engines evaluate: crawlable pages, clear answers, schema and entities, and credible off-site proof—then measure mentions and citations on a defined prompt set. We do not guarantee any single citation.
What’s included in Growth vs Scale?
Growth starts at $797/mo and Scale at $1,297/mo. Scale roughly doubles content, authority, and AI question tracking versus Growth. Custom plans scope higher volumes on a 90-day rolling term. See pricing for full deliverables.
What does the 90-day offer cover?
30% more qualified organic + AI traffic in 90 days, or we work free until you do. It applies to qualified Growth and Scale clients against a documented prior-90-day GA4/GSC baseline. Conditions are confirmed on the audit and detailed on pricing.
Can we do AEO in-house instead of hiring an agency?
Yes for fundamentals. Hire an agency when you need managed velocity across technical SEO, content, authority, and multi-engine measurement—or when tools only reveal gaps without shipping fixes.
How do you measure success?
Prompts, mentions, and citations from dated answer samples; Google visibility from Search Console; identifiable AI referrals and leads when tracking exists; plus weekly written updates. We do not invent a single vanity score as proof.
