The Problem
Your customers are asking AI for recommendations — and your business isn't in the answer.
The way people search is changing. More and more customers are asking AI assistants — "What's the best plumber in Fairfax?" or "Recommend a good restaurant in Arlington." And AI is answering with specific business names.
If your business isn't mentioned in those AI answers, you're invisible to a growing segment of potential customers. Traditional SEO gets you on Google. GEO and AEO get you into AI answers.
Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity — these tools are recommending businesses based on the content they find online. If your business isn't structured in a way AI can understand and cite, you won't be recommended.
GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) are new disciplines that make your business visible to AI. We create content engineered to be cited by AI, structure your data so AI understands your business, and monitor when and how you appear in AI answers.

Authority Building for AI
White-hat backlink and authority building that signals to AI models that your business is trusted, credible, and worth recommending.

Advanced schema markup designed specifically to make your business easy for AI to cite — FAQ schema, service schema, local business schema, and more.

Questions, answered.
What is GEO (Generative Engine Optimization)?+
GEO is the practice of optimizing your business to appear in AI-generated search results — Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and other AI-powered search tools. Unlike traditional SEO which focuses on ranking in a list of links, GEO focuses on being the business AI models recommend and cite when answering questions. GEO involves structured content, schema markup, entity optimization, and authority building specifically for AI consumption.
What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)?+
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is closely related to GEO. It focuses on optimizing your content so AI answer engines can extract, cite, and recommend your business when users ask questions. This includes formatting content with clear direct answers, FAQ schema, structured data, and question-targeted content that AI can parse and reference. AEO ensures that when someone asks "Who is the best [your service] in [your city]?", AI has your business information readily available to cite.
Why do I need GEO and AEO if I already have SEO?+
Traditional SEO gets you on Google. GEO and AEO get you into AI answers. The way people search is changing — more customers are using AI assistants and AI-powered search instead of traditional Google searches. If your business isn't optimized for AI, you're invisible to a growing segment of potential customers. GEO and AEO complement your existing SEO — together, they ensure you show up everywhere customers search, whether through Google or AI.
How do GEO and AEO work?+
We create content specifically engineered to be cited by AI — structured around the questions customers ask, formatted with clear answers, and marked up with schema data AI can parse. We optimize your business as a recognized "entity" so AI models understand who you are, what you do, and where you are. We build authority through white-hat backlinks. And we monitor when and how your business appears in AI answers, adjusting strategy monthly. Each signal piece compounds your AI presence over time.
How much do GEO and AEO services cost?+
Occoquan Digital Marketing includes GEO and AEO in every plan starting at $99/month with $0 setup — one monthly GEO/AEO signal piece, structured data optimization, entity building, and AI search monitoring. Higher-tier plans include more signal pieces per month. Most agencies don't even offer GEO/AEO yet — those that do charge premium rates. We include it because AI search visibility is the future, and our clients should be ahead of it.
How long does it take to appear in AI answers?+
AI models update their training data and answers on their own schedules, which we don't control. However, the content and structured data we create is immediately available for AI crawlers to find and cite. Typically, you'll start seeing your business referenced in AI answers within 2–4 months of consistent GEO/AEO work. The more content and authority AI can find about your business, the more likely it is to recommend you. This is a compounding strategy — results build over time.
Which AI search tools do you optimize for?+
We optimize your business to be visible across all major AI search tools — Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and others. The strategies overlap: structured data, entity optimization, authoritative content, and question-targeted formatting work across all AI platforms. We monitor your visibility across these tools and adjust strategy based on where you're appearing and where you're not.
