What is AEO
Search is becoming a conversation. Rankings are becoming recommendations.
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the practice of making your brand the source AI assistants retrieve, cite and recommend when buyers ask questions in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google’s AI results.
Google’s top 10 results overlap only about 10% with ChatGPT’s sources. LLMs pick what to cite through retrieval (RAG) — how closely your content matches the question in meaning, not keywords. Classic SEO alone won’t get you there.
SEO optimizes for
Keywords, backlinks, a spot in the top 10
AEO optimizes for
Retrieval, citations, being named in the one answer
Why a different kind of AEO agency
Not a platform. Not an agency. Your AI growth partner.
Just an AEO tool
A dashboard and an AI visibility score. Then you’re on your own to work out what to change.
Just a traditional agency
A strategy deck and a content calendar. Two months later you wonder what actually moved.
XLR8 AI
Dedicated AEO strategists + a proprietary AI solution + hands-on execution. We run it with you, or for you.

AEO services
Everything an answer engine reads, we optimize.
Positioning content alone won’t work. AI models build answers from your site and the places they trust — so we work across all of them.
AI visibility audit
How every major model sees your brand today — citations, sentiment, share of answer and competitor gaps.
AI search visibility tracking
Track how often your brand shows up across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Mode — by prompt, model and competitor, every week.
AI citation analysis
See exactly which pages, reviews and threads each AI answer is built from — and where competitors get cited instead of you.
AI sentiment analysis
Understand how each engine describes your brand, not just whether it names you, with pros and cons pulled from every answer.
Prompt research
Find the real questions buyers ask AI in your category, then prioritize the prompts that drive pipeline.
LLM-optimized content
On-page rewrites, comparison and answer pages engineered for retrieval — scored against RAG alignment before they ship.
Reddit & community
Authentic presence in the threads models quote most, guided by our Reddit agent.
Third-party citations
Placements on the review sites, listicles and publications that AI engines already trust.
Indexing
Make sure AI crawlers and search indexes can find, crawl and refresh your key pages, so new content gets picked up fast.
