Own the Answer with Single Grain's AEO Services
We get your brand cited by AI answer engines—Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Copilot, Alexa and Siri. Our team engineers structured, trusted content that wins zero-click answers and drives demand.
Why Your Brand Needs to Own the Answer
Search behavior is changing. People ask questions to AI assistants and receive instant, summarized responses—often without clicking through.
At Single Grain, we make your brand the source those systems cite. We design, structure, and promote content built to be selected by answer engines across channels:
Social Signals
YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, Reddit signals
AI Platforms
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot
Communities & Q&A
Reddit, Quora, Stack Overflow

How We Help You Win the Answer
We don't publish and pray. We build an AEO playbook that earns citations from AI assistants and answer summaries while supporting your broader SEO and content goals.
Map Real Questions and Intents
We analyze how your audience asks across search, voice, and chat—cluster queries, follow-ups, and entities—then prioritize by buying intent and business impact.
Engineer Structured Answers
We create concise, authoritative answer blocks and implement rich schema (FAQ, HowTo, Speakable, Organization) so AI systems can understand, extract, and cite your content.

Optimize for AI and Voice Delivery
We strengthen E-E-A-T, add citation-ready summaries, standardize data with JSON-LD, and ensure pages are fast, mobile-first, and easy for assistants to parse.
Distribute Across Trusted Surfaces
We publish and repurpose to the channels AI consults—site, YouTube, podcasts, LinkedIn, and communities—amplifying credibility with digital PR and expert bylines.
Measure Answer Visibility
We track AI citations, SGE appearances, and zero-click impressions with custom dashboards, then test and iterate to expand coverage and conversions.

Frequently Asked Questions

-
What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of optimizing your content so it gets directly cited by AI-powered answer engines like Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot, and voice assistants like Alexa and Siri.
-
How is AEO different from SEO?
While SEO optimizes for ranking in traditional search results, AEO optimizes for being cited in AI-generated answers. AEO focuses on structured data, conversational content, and schema markup.
-
Why is AEO important for my business?
Nearly 60% of Google searches now result in zero clicks as users get answers directly from AI overviews. AEO ensures your brand becomes the cited source in these responses.
-
How long does it take to see results from AEO?
Most clients start seeing improvements in AI citations within 2-3 months. Comprehensive strategies typically show significant visibility gains within 4-6 months.
-
How do you measure AEO success?
We track AI citations, SGE appearances, zero-click impressions, brand mentions in AI platforms, and conversions attributed to answer engine visibility.
