AI Search Optimization (AEO)

Customers are asking AI who to hire. Does it say your name?

More people now ask ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews and Copilot for recommendations instead of scrolling through search results. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) makes sure those answers know who you are, what you do and why you're a safe pick.

Find out what AI says about your business

I personally review every request. You'll hear from me directly, not an account manager.

I reply within one business day, usually the same day. Se habla español.

What can I help with?

What changed

Search used to be ten blue links. Now it's one answer.

When someone asks ChatGPT for “a good electrician in Chula Vista” or Google shows an AI Overview at the top of the results, there's no page two. The AI names a few businesses and the customer calls one of them.

Those answers aren't random. AI tools pull from your Google Business Profile, your reviews, your website, directory listings and what other sites say about you. If that information is thin or inconsistent, the AI skips you and recommends someone it understands better.

What I work on

How I get your business into AI answers

AEO builds on the same groundwork that wins Google Maps, with a few things AI tools care about more.

AI visibility check

I ask ChatGPT, Google AI and Copilot the questions your customers ask, in your area, and record who gets recommended and why.

Consistent business facts

Your name, services, service area, phone and hours match everywhere AI looks: Google, Bing Places, Apple Business Connect, Yelp, BBB and industry directories.

Answer-ready pages

Service pages that answer real questions in plain language: cost ranges, timelines, areas served, licensing. That's the text AI tools quote.

Structured data

Schema markup that labels your business, services, reviews and FAQs so machines read your site without guessing.

Reviews that say something

AI summarizes your reviews. I help you ask for reviews that mention the job and the neighborhood, not just “great service.”

Bing and crawler access

ChatGPT's search leans on Bing, so I make sure you're indexed there and that AI crawlers aren't blocked from your site.

Straight talk

What AEO can and can't do

What you can expect

  • A clear picture of what AI tools say about you today
  • Business information that's consistent everywhere AI looks
  • Pages written to be quoted, not just ranked
  • Re-checks over time so you can see if you're mentioned more often

What nobody can honestly promise

  • A guaranteed spot in ChatGPT's answers
  • Results in a week. AI tools refresh on their own schedule
  • That every AI tool will treat you the same way
  • Be cautious of anyone who promises these
Paid and organic

AEO earns the mention. ChatGPT Ads buy the spot.

AEO is the long game: making AI tools trust and recommend you on their own. ChatGPT Ads are the fast lane: a paid placement inside the conversation, starting now.

Most of my clients do both, the same way the Triple Stack pairs Google Ads with Maps optimization.

I've managed Google Ads and paid search for service businesses since 2006. Contractors, medical practices, law firms, private schools, home services: I've run campaigns for all of them.

When you hire Planet Marketing, your account is never passed to a junior account manager. I build your campaigns, I manage them every month, and I'm the one you call or text. If you're in San Diego or Southern California, I'm happy to meet in person.

Sometimes you just need someone you can trust.

I was struggling with trying to market my electrical contracting business. So when I was using ChatGPT to help me with some questions about Google Ads, an ad popped up for Planet Marketing. I clicked the link and connected with Francisco. This has been a game changer for me!! He’s built me a professional website. Developed professional campaigns on both Google Ads and ChatGPT. Best of all I have received more QUALIFIED LEADS that I can easily convert! Highly recommend working with Francisco!!

I've been working with Francisco & Planet Marketing for over 15 years and across multiple companies. Initially it was a company where his expertise in elevating our Craigslist & eBay posts helped us corner a highly competitive market. The next few times we worked together it was for different SEO/SEM/PPC needs and each time he out produced expectations. He's constantly been at the forefront each time the marketing landscape changes and with the roll out of ChatGPT & Gemini, he's there helping me once again gobble up market share. I highly recommend Francisco & Planet Marketing!

Francisco is a rare find. On the one hand, he has 20 years of experience, on the other, he has his feet firmly planted in the future. My meeting with him today was highly, highly productive. He has the kind of knowledge where he can show you where the systems weak points are, and how to work around them, all while being budget conscious. I think what makes him tick is when he beats the entrenched companies at their own game. I look forward to a long business arrangement with him.

Francisco at Planet Marketing was fantastic to work with! He was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and quick to respond. He took the time to thoroughly analyze my marketing needs and clearly explain his services and the entire process. He also provided pricing right away, which I really appreciated. I’m still at the beginning of my search for marketing services, but Francisco has already made an excellent impression. He clearly knows his business and genuinely cares about providing great customer service. I highly recommend Francisco and Planet Marketing for all your marketing needs!

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is AEO?

Answer Engine Optimization. It's the work of getting your business named in the answers AI tools give, like ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews and Microsoft Copilot, instead of only ranking in a list of links.

Is AEO different from SEO?

It builds on SEO, but the goal is different. SEO tries to rank a page. AEO tries to be the business the AI recommends, which depends more on consistent business information, reviews and pages that answer questions directly.

How do you measure it?

I run the same set of questions through ChatGPT, Google AI and Copilot before we start and again over time, and I track visits from AI tools in your analytics. You see who was recommended and whether that changes.

Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend me?

No, and nobody honestly can. AI answers change and every tool works a little differently. What I can do is fix the things that keep AI tools from understanding and trusting your business.

Do I need a new website?

Usually not. Most of the work is your Google Business Profile, listings, reviews and a few well-written service pages. If your site is blocking crawlers or missing key pages, I'll tell you.

Ready for more calls and leads?
