What ChatGPT says when Canberra asks
On 25 October 2026 we asked ChatGPT, logged out: “Who is the best AEO agency in Canberra?”
It named four agencies. Every pick came with a reason taken from that agency's own published page: the service it offers, who it suits and, in one case, a starting price. Then it listed five things to ask any agency before signing.
- Agencies ChatGPT named
- 4
- Picks explained from the agency's own page
- 4 of 4
- Checks it told buyers to ask for first

That's the job of AEO: your own pages state clearly what you do, for whom and where, and the sources AI tools read back those facts up. One answer on one date is a snapshot, so we track a fixed set of buyer questions over time.
Your AEO, built and run
AEO is mostly work on your own website and on the sources that describe you. Our engineers and marketers handle both, so nothing stalls between the advice and the change.
Answers AI tools can repeat
We rewrite your key pages so each one answers the buyer's question in its first lines: what you do, for whom, where and at what scope. Plain facts are easier for ChatGPT and Google's AI answers to quote correctly.
Explore service →Generative engine optimisation
GEO covers how generative tools retrieve and compare businesses. We align your website, Business Profile and outside listings so the same facts appear wherever an engine looks.
Explore service →Schema and technical signals
We fix crawling, indexing and rendering, and add schema that matches what each page shows, so AI crawlers can read your facts without guessing.

Mentions on the sources AI reads
AI answers lean on directories, reviews, lists and publications. We find the ones your buyers' questions pull in and earn accurate mentions there.
Explore service →Google Maps and local SEO
For Canberra buyers who search on Maps, we manage your Business Profile, reviews and listings. The same facts feed what AI tools repeat about you.

SEO underneath it all
AI tools still read the web. Pages that rank in Google and answer the search clearly give AEO a base to work from, so SEO runs alongside.
Explore service →What does an AEO agency do?
Answer engine optimisation (AEO) is the work of getting your business named and cited when someone asks ChatGPT, Google's AI answers or Perplexity for a recommendation. Generative engine optimisation (GEO) is the same goal seen from the engine's side: how it finds, compares and summarises sources.
In practice it's SEO work with a different finish line: the facts on your own pages, the technical signals that let engines read them, and the outside sources that confirm them. Here are three examples of how we'd scope it, not claims about existing clients.
A consultancy selling to government
When a buyer asks an AI tool for a Canberra consultancy, it needs your capabilities, sectors and credentials stated plainly on your own site, and the panels and directories that list you.
A clinic in Belconnen
For a question like “best physio near Belconnen”, AI answers draw on reviews, your Business Profile and pages that name your services and hours. We make those facts consistent and easy to quote.
A professional firm in Barton
For a question about one service, give that service its own page with the answer first, then earn the mentions that confirm you do the work.

Know what your SEO is doing
We show what went live, what changed and what we recommend next. Enquiry quality and won work matter alongside rankings, so your sales feedback belongs in the review.
Searches and landing pages
Search Console shows impressions, clicks and positions. Matched 28-day comparisons help separate a useful improvement from a busy week; the 90-day view shows the longer trend.
Local visibility
The Local Search package includes a monthly geo-grid scan and Business Profile reporting. We read the areas you win and the areas you miss, alongside calls and website visits.
Enquiries and revenue
GA4 events, call records and your sales feedback help connect landing pages to qualified enquiries and won jobs. Where the source of a lead is unknown, it stays unknown.
AI recommendations
We record the question, engine and date when checking whether AI answers name or cite your business. These observations are reported separately from Google rankings and booked work.
Ask to see the work
Before hiring an AEO agency, ask to see real AI answers to your buyers' questions, the competitors named instead of you, what will change on your site and beyond it, and how they'll measure it.
Our published example is Radiant Roof Repairs, Brenden's Gold Coast business. You'll speak directly with the team doing the work.
