AEO Agency: Pick the Right Answer Engine Optimization Service
SuperDupr is an AEO and GEO agency: we get businesses named when buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI what to buy or who to hire. There are five ways to work with us, from a free AI Visibility Check for local businesses to an AI Search Program we run for your team every week. The table below shows who each one is for, so you can pick without a sales call.
The short version
What is answer engine optimization, and how is it different from GEO?
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the work of getting your business named in the answers AI assistants give, like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews. Generative engine optimization (GEO) is nearly the same work, named after the generative AI models that write those answers. Both come down to pages that answer buyers' questions directly, with real facts, sources, tables and schema, on a site search engines can already read.
Justin has written longer explainers on answer engine optimization and GEO vs SEO, if you want the full background.
Which AEO service is right for you?
Start from what kind of business you are and how much help you want. Each step up does more of the work for you.
| Service | Price | Who it's for | What you get | Who does the work |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI Visibility Check | Free | Local service businesses curious whether AI recommends them | Real customer questions run through AI search, with where you show up and who shows up instead | Automated check, emailed to you |
| AI Search Audit | $1,500 | Any business that wants to know why AI assistants skip it, before spending more | Your buyers' real questions run through the AI assistants, who gets named instead of you, and a ranked fix list | Justin, personally |
| AI Search Optimization | $5,000 fixed, optional $500/month | Businesses that know what's wrong and want it fixed once | Schema, answer-shaped content, llms.txt, citation-target pages and technical fixes in 3 to 4 weeks, then monthly re-checks if you want them | We build it |
| Local AI Search | $297/month | Local service businesses that want to be recommended when customers ask AI who to hire | The fixes AI looks for, kept up every month, with results you can see | We run it monthly |
| AI Search Program | Priced after a call | Companies with a marketing team, a large site, and signups coming from search and AI | SEO, GEO and AEO run every week: content triage, rebuilt comparison and use-case pages, drafts in your CMS or code, weekly reports tied to signups | We run it, your team approves |

What does AEO and GEO work actually involve?
Whichever service you pick, the work comes from the same short list. The bigger services just do more of it, more often.
- ✓ Finding the questions your buyers ask AI assistants, and checking who gets named today
- ✓ Opening each page with a direct answer that stands on its own, so an assistant can quote it
- ✓ Question-shaped headings, tables for anything compared, and an FAQ written the way buyers ask
- ✓ One set of facts, like prices, plans and features, that matches on every page and profile
- ✓ Schema for your organization, services, FAQs and authors, plus llms.txt
- ✓ Clean technical SEO, because many assistants read the pages search engines already rank
- ✓ Tracking the same prompts over time, by assistant, with the sources each one cites

Who does the work, and what can AEO not promise?
Justin McKelvey runs it. He does every AI Search Audit himself, and he runs the builds and programs. He's spent 15 years building products, and shipped more than 50 of them. Before software, he ran snowboard and mountain-bike shops and taught himself to code. More about Justin.
We hold our own sites to the same standard. On our November 2, 2026 scan against the page standard we use for clients (a short answer up top, question headings, tables, an FAQ, sources, a named author and schema), justinmckelvey.com scored 93 out of 100, superdupr.com 89 and getlocalcall.com 87.
The honest limit. No one controls what an AI model says, and anyone guaranteeing a citation is guessing. AI answers often shift within weeks of a page going live, and Google takes months. We measure from a week-2 baseline and show you the answers themselves, good or bad, so you can judge the work on what actually changed.
Questions about AEO and GEO services
- What does an AEO agency do?
- An AEO agency, short for answer engine optimization agency, works to get your business named when people ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini or Google's AI a question your product or service answers. The work is checking what those assistants say today, rewriting and building pages so they answer buyers' questions directly with real facts and sources, adding schema, keeping your facts the same everywhere they appear, and tracking the answers over time. A good one also does the SEO basics, because many AI assistants pull from pages that already rank.
- What is the difference between AEO and GEO?
- Very little in practice. AEO, answer engine optimization, describes the goal from the question side: be the answer when someone asks. GEO, generative engine optimization, describes it from the tool side: be cited by the AI models that generate answers. Agencies use the terms for nearly the same work. We use both and run them together with SEO.
- How much do answer engine optimization services cost?
- At SuperDupr, it depends on what you need. The AI Visibility Check for local businesses is free. The AI Search Audit is $1,500, done personally by Justin. The AI Search Optimization build is $5,000 fixed scope, with optional monitoring at $500 a month. Local AI Search for local service businesses is $297 a month. The AI Search Program, for companies that want SEO and AI search run every week, is priced after a call.
- Which AEO service should I start with?
- If you're a local service business, start with the free AI Visibility Check, then look at Local AI Search. If you're any other business and don't know why AI assistants skip you, start with the $1,500 audit. If you already know what's wrong and want it fixed once, buy the $5,000 build. If you have a marketing team and a large site, and search and AI already bring you signups, book a call about the AI Search Program.
- Is AEO replacing SEO?
- No. Most AI assistants that search the web read the same pages search engines rank, so the SEO basics still matter: crawlable pages, clean structure, good links and fast load times. AEO adds a layer on top: direct answers, tables, sources, consistent facts and schema that make a page easy to quote. We do both, and report Google rankings and AI answers side by side.
- Can an agency guarantee my business shows up in ChatGPT?
- No. Nobody controls what a model says, and an agency that guarantees a citation is guessing. What an agency can control is whether your pages are the clearest, most consistent answer to the questions your buyers ask, and whether you can see the results. AI answers often shift within weeks of a page going live. Google takes months. We measure from a week-2 baseline.
- How do I tell a real AEO agency from a rebranded SEO shop?
- Ask to see the prompts they'll track, which assistants they'll check, and a sample report showing who was named and which sources were cited. Ask who writes the pages and who approves them. Ask what happens to the work if you stop. A real answer names specific prompts and tools. A vague one talks about mention rates and visibility scores without showing the answers themselves.
- Do you work with sites on any platform?
- Yes. We work on WordPress, Webflow, Sanity, Contentful and other CMSs, and on custom-coded sites where we open a pull request your developers merge. We can also run the site for you. A person on your team approves what goes live.
