AEO guides
Thirty-eight pages on getting named and cited in AI answers. Every number on them carries a date and a source, and several say plainly when not to pay us.

What is Answer Engine Optimization?
How AEO differs from SEO, the four things that actually move it, and the three numbers worth measuring.

- The buyer questions, answered directly
- The tools compared, including where we are the wrong choice
- Our audited score of zero, with the method behind it
Where a figure is something an engine reported rather than something we checked, the page says so.

The foundations
If you read three pages, read these: the field, the field applied to us with the worst possible result, and the arithmetic to check both.
Primary data
What we can actually show you
Two pages built on a stored record rather than on opinion. One says plainly what we have not proven, and that we know of no vendor in this category that has.
Diagnostics
Something is wrong and you want to know what
Ordered so the cheapest check comes first. We ran the first of these on ourselves and it found our own problem.
Buyer questions
Questions people ask before buying
One page per question, titled as the question, answered in the first two sentences. These are the questions our own audit showed us losing.
The engines
How the machines actually work
What we measured, what the vendors publish, and — stated explicitly — the parts nobody outside those companies can tell you.
How to
Doing the work
The practical pages. Each step rests on something we measured, not a rule someone repeated.
Comparisons
Choosing between the options
Including ourselves, and when a competitor is the better buy. A price an engine reported, not one we checked, is marked as such.
Definitions
The vocabulary
Short, precise, and each term set against the one it gets confused with.
Market
Philippines
The one market page we have earned, because the acronym itself means something else here.

Not written
What is not here yet, and why
We would rather have thirty-eight pages that answer something than seventy that hold keywords.
Pages for individual industries
Law firms, SaaS, e-commerce: we have no client data in any of them, and a page with the noun swapped is worthless. The plan: run our audit with a vertical question set and publish what comes back.
“How long does AEO take to work?”
We won’t answer it with a number: two audits of our own, twelve days apart, and no client history long enough. Instead, does AEO actually work? says what is proven and how to test it yourself.
More head-to-head comparisons
Otterly vs AthenaHQ, and the rest, need first-hand knowledge of both products that we do not have. An engine’s summary would be someone else’s opinion.
A monthly-subscription sales page
Our audit showed us losing that question, but what AEO costs and AEO on a budget already answer it. What is left over is an advert.
