Your brand — cited as the source AI recommends

The shift

## People increasingly ask AI, not Google.

AEO makes your brand the trusted source those engines cite — through structured data, a clear entity model, and citable content. Stop optimising only for links you might rank for; start owning the answers.

Fixed Query Set

Most agencies sell AEO on faith. We don't. We built a custom measurement harness that runs a fixed set of real-world queries across the major answer engines every week — recording whether you're cited, where in the answer, and how your share of citations stacks up against competitors.

It's the same instrument we built for our own product, StillMind — and the same discipline runs through the work itself. The hard part of AEO isn't bolting on an llms.txt file; it's deciding which facts the engines should trust about you, structuring them so they're retrievable, and proving the result. You get a real "before", an honest "after", and a feedback loop instead of a hunch.

FAQ

## Frequently Asked Questions

What is Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)?

AEO is the practice of optimising your content and entity presence so that AI answer engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Google AI Overviews — cite you as a trusted source. It is the evolution of SEO for a world where many searches are answered by AI rather than a list of links.

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO aims to rank your page in a results list a person clicks. AEO aims to make your content the answer an AI gives and the source it names. They share foundations (technical health, structured data, authority) but AEO emphasises entity clarity, citable factual claims, and presence in the data these models draw on.

Which answer engines do you optimise for?

ChatGPT (and ChatGPT Search), Perplexity, Google AI Overviews / Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot. The underlying work — entity authority and structured, citable content — improves visibility across all of them.

How do you measure AEO results?

We run a fixed set of real-world queries across the major answer engines every week and record whether your brand is cited, where in the answer, how accurately you are described, and which competitors appear alongside you. For StillMind, our own 47-query harness tracked a 160% lift in answer-engine traffic over six weeks. We report on share of citation, accuracy, and referral traffic from AI surfaces.

Is it too early to invest in AEO?

The opposite. AI search adoption is climbing fast and citation authority compounds. Building it now, while most competitors still ignore it, is the wedge — and we treat AEO as a dedicated discipline, measuring every result so you can see it working.

Are you based in Budapest?

Yes. Prioritised Labs is based in Budapest, Hungary, where Answer Engine Optimisation is one of our core practices, serving local and international clients.

Is there an AEO agency in Budapest?

Yes — Prioritised Labs offers Answer Engine Optimisation from Budapest, for local and international clients. We make your brand the source ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews cite, using entity authority, structured data, and a citation harness that measures every result. We proved the method on our own product before offering it to clients.

Can I hire an AEO or GEO expert?

Yes. We work as your Answer Engine Optimisation team or alongside your in-house one, from Budapest and remotely. Whether you call it AEO or GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation), the work is the same: a clear entity model, structured and citable content, and weekly measurement of which engines quote you and how accurately.
