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 5 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.

We align your website, Business Profile and outside listings so the same facts appear wherever an engine looks.

[Explore service →](https://www.searchmaxxed.com/services/technical-seo) ### 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.

The same facts feed what AI tools repeat about you. [Explore service →](https://www.searchmaxxed.com/services/local-seo) ### 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 →](https://www.searchmaxxed.com/services/seo) ## What does an AEO agency do? [Answer engine optimisation](https://www.searchmaxxed.com/services/aeo) (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](https://www.searchmaxxed.com/services/geo) (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.

[See SEO in Canberra →](https://www.searchmaxxed.com/canberra) FAQ ## Canberra AEO questions ### What does your Canberra AEO service include? + − We check how ChatGPT, Google's AI answers and Perplexity answer your buyers' questions, rewrite your key pages so they answer those questions first, fix schema and technical signals, and earn accurate mentions on the sources those tools cite. SEO work sits underneath, because AI tools still read the web. ### What is the difference between AEO and GEO? + − AEO focuses on being the answer: named and cited when someone asks. GEO focuses on how generative engines find and compare sources. The work overlaps almost entirely, so we run them together. ### How do you measure AI visibility? + − We record a fixed set of buyer questions, the engine and the date, and whether each answer names or cites you. We report those observations separately from Google rankings and from enquiries, because they move differently. ### How long does AEO take to work? + − Plan for months. Page and technical fixes can ship in the first weeks; outside mentions and consistent facts take longer to show up in answers. We set a 90-day plan and review progress monthly. ### Do I still need SEO? + − Yes. AI answers lean on pages that search engines can find and trust, so the two work together. AEO and GEO are included in our managed programs alongside SEO. ### What is the Local Search refund promise? + − Local Search's promise is: “Recommended by ChatGPT and #1 on Google Maps in 90 days. Or you get a full refund.” Targets are agreed before we start. This promise belongs to the Local Search package. ### Who does the work, and what do I own? + − Searchmaxxed's engineers and marketers handle the work, with direct access and no account-manager relay. Brenden sets the direction, reads the evidence, writes the money pages and approves what ships. You own the website, repository, content and data from day one. Monthly, six-month and 12-month terms are available; we agree the term on the call. ### Can you help a Canberra business selling to government? + − Yes. We plan around how your buyers research suppliers, including the questions they put to AI tools, and make sure your capabilities and credentials are stated plainly where those tools look. ## Let's look at your business Book a 30-minute call with the people who would run your SEO.
