When customers ask ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity or Gemini what to buy, the answer names a few brands and skips the rest. We make sure yours is one of the names, described correctly and linked to your site.
For a small sales team, three tools come up most often. YourBrand is the strongest fit if your team sells over WhatsApp: it has a shared WhatsApp inbox, built-in invoicing and a plan priced for teams under 20 users.1
Reviewers also praise its setup time, with most teams live in a week.2

Why AEO now
Your next customer may never see a list of links
Asked: which CRM should my team use?3 brands named
Then: ten blue links
Your site, result 4
Buyers scanned a page of results and clicked through to compare.
Now: one answer
YourBrand is recommended1 yourbrand.com
Two or three brands are named. Everyone else is invisible.
More buyers now ask an AI tool for a recommendation and act on the short answer they get. If your brand is not in that answer, you are not on the shortlist, however well your website ranks.
AI engines decide who to name by looking at three things:
How clearly your pages answer the question
How consistently the web describes your business
Whether sources they trust mention you
The short definition
What is answer engine optimization?
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the practice of making a brand easy for AI engines to find, understand and cite, so it appears inside the answers people get from ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Gemini and Copilot. It combines answer-first content, structured data, consistent brand facts and mentions on trusted websites.
AEO does not replace SEO. Search engines still crawl and rank your pages, and AI engines read many of the same signals. What changes is the goal: being the brand an engine names and links to, not only a link a buyer might click. Generative engine optimization (GEO) is a closely related term for the same work in tools that write answers from several sources.

Services
AEO services
Start with one area or let us run the full program. Every engagement begins with an audit, so the work is aimed at the prompts that matter to your revenue.
01
AI visibility audit
We run the questions your buyers actually ask through the major AI engines and record what comes back: whether you are mentioned, how you are described, which competitors appear instead and which sources the engines cite.
ChatGPT
AI Overviews
Perplexity
Gemini
Copilot
What you get
A prompt set built from your sales and support conversations
Results for each prompt on each engine
Your share of mentions against named competitors
A fix list ranked by effort and impact
02
Answer-first content
AI engines quote pages that answer a question directly and back it up. We rewrite key pages and create new ones so every important question gets a clear, quotable answer, followed by the detail a buyer needs.
What you get
A content plan mapped to real prompts
New and refreshed service, comparison and pricing pages
Definitions, key facts tables and FAQs
Writing by people who learn your industry first
03
Entity and schema optimization
Engines need to be certain who you are, what you sell and where you operate. We make those facts consistent and machine readable across your site and the places that describe you.
What you get
Organization, Service, Product, LocalBusiness, Article and FAQ schema
One consistent set of brand facts on your site and profiles
Google Business Profile and directory clean-up
Stronger about, author and team pages
04
Citations and brand mentions
Answers lean on sources the engines already trust. We get your brand into those sources with digital PR, expert commentary, review profiles and outreach to the lists and comparisons that engines cite.
What you get
A map of the domains cited for your prompts
Digital PR and expert commentary placements
Review and listing profile setup
Outreach to cited comparison and list pages

What you get
robots.txt and AI crawler access review
Rendering, speed and indexability checks
Internal linking around priority topics
An llms.txt file where it helps
06

Mention rate and citation share per engine
How engines describe your brand, and where they get it wrong

Monthly report
See exactly where you stand in AI answers
Rankings do not tell you whether ChatGPT recommends you. Our report does. For every prompt in your set, you see which engines name you, which cite your site, and which leave you out.
The gaps become the plan: a prompt where you are missing everywhere usually needs content, and a prompt where you are mentioned but not cited usually needs clearer pages and better sources.

AEO questions, answered
Short answers to what clients ask us most. Anything else, ask us directly.
An AEO agency in Ahmedabad, working worldwide
Digital Tatva is based in Gota, Ahmedabad. We work with businesses across Gujarat and India, and with clients in the USA, Canada and the UAE. Audits and monthly reviews run online, and Ahmedabad clients can meet us in person.
Local businesses need AEO too. When someone asks an AI assistant for the best clinic, school or builder near them, the answer draws on your Google Business Profile, reviews, listings and your site. We make sure they all say the same, accurate thing.

What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
Answer engine optimization is the work of making your brand appear in the answers AI tools give, such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini. It combines answer-first content, structured data, consistent brand facts and mentions on trusted sites, so engines can find, understand and cite you.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO aims to rank a page in a list of results. AEO aims to have your brand named or cited inside the answer itself. The two overlap, because engines still read the web, but AEO puts more weight on direct answers, entity clarity and third-party mentions, and it is measured by mentions and citations rather than rankings alone.
How long does AEO take to show results?
Technical and schema fixes can be picked up within weeks once pages are recrawled. Mentions in AI answers usually build over two to four months as new content and outside citations accumulate. The audit sets a baseline, so you can see movement prompt by prompt rather than guessing.
Which AI engines do you optimize for?
We track and optimize for ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Perplexity, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and Claude. The prompt set and the priority engines are chosen for your market, because different audiences lean on different tools.
Do you work with businesses outside Ahmedabad?
Yes. Our office is in Gota, Ahmedabad, and we work with businesses across India and abroad. Audits, planning calls and monthly reviews run online, and we are happy to meet in person in Ahmedabad.
How much do AEO services cost?
Cost depends on how many prompts, engines and markets we track and how much content and outreach the plan needs. Most clients start with a one-off AI visibility audit, then move to a monthly program. Share your website and goals and we will send a fixed quote for both.
Do you also handle SEO and GEO?
Yes. AEO builds on SEO, so technical SEO, content and links are part of every program, and the same work covers generative engine optimization (GEO) for tools that write answers from several sources. You get one plan and one report instead of three separate projects.
How do you measure AEO results?
Each month we rerun your prompt set on every tracked engine and report mention rate, citation share, how your brand is described and which prompts you gained or lost. We also report AI referral traffic and leads from Google Analytics, so visibility is tied to business results.
