Become the answer Google quotes.
Answer engine optimization services that turn your pages into the passage AI Overviews, featured snippets, ChatGPT and Perplexity quote. Month-to-month plans from $290.
From ranking to being the answer.
AEO services make your pages the easiest source for an answer engine to quote. Escenders rewrites and restructures your key pages around the questions buyers ask, adds the markup that labels each answer, and checks every month which passages Google and AI tools lift.
More searches now end with a written answer at the top of the page. Ranking on page one is no longer enough: if your page is not one of the sources that answer is built from, a competitor gets quoted instead.
AEO is the fastest part of AI search to move, because it works on pages that already rank. Changes often show up in AI Overviews and snippets within weeks of being recrawled.
How much does it cost to replace a roof on a 2,000 sq ft house?
Most homeowners pay between $9,000 and $20,000, depending on materials, roof pitch and local labor rates. Asphalt shingles are the cheapest option; metal costs more upfront but lasts longer.
You rank on Google, but the AI answer names competitors and cites their pages.
Everything AI tools need to trust and quote you.
Each month we do the work below, then test the same buyer questions again so you can see what moved.
Question research
The real questions your buyers ask, pulled from search data, People Also Ask and AI prompts.
Answer-first rewrites
A direct 40 to 60 word answer under each question heading, then the proof and detail.
Schema markup
FAQ, HowTo, Service, Product and Article markup that matches what is on the page.
Tables and lists
Comparisons, prices and steps formatted the way answer engines like to lift them.
Trust signals
Named authors, dated facts and linked sources, so your answer is the safe one to quote.

Five questions to ask any agency first.
Be wary of guaranteed citations. Nobody controls what AI tools say. Ask for this instead.
- Which buyer questions will you test, and in which AI tools?
- Will you fix crawler access and site structure before writing new pages?
- How do you earn mentions on sites AI tools actually read?
- What can't you control, and how will you report it?
- Are your prices and notice period published?
Frequently asked questions
What are AEO services?
AEO (answer engine optimization) services restructure your content so search features and AI assistants can lift a direct answer from it. They include question research, answer-first rewrites, schema markup, tables and lists, trust signals and tracking which passages get quoted.
What does an answer engine optimization agency do?
An AEO agency finds the questions your buyers ask, rewrites your pages so each question has a short, self-contained answer, adds markup that labels it, and checks every month whether Google AI Overviews, featured snippets and AI tools quote you.
What services do AEO and SEO companies usually offer?
Most offer technical SEO, content, links and reporting. AEO adds question-led page structure, concise answers, schema for answers and citation tracking in AI tools. At Escenders, AEO is included in every SEO plan and available on its own from $290 a month.
How is AEO different from SEO and GEO?
SEO earns a ranking and a click. AEO earns the quoted answer itself. GEO earns a mention of your brand in AI-written recommendations. They share foundations, so we run them as one program.
How should AEO services be priced?
Look for a fixed monthly price tied to clear volumes: how many questions are tested and how many pages are rewritten each month. Our plans are $290, $590 or $1,190 a month with those numbers published, and no lock-in.
How long does AEO take to work?
Pages that already rank can appear in AI Overviews and snippets within a few weeks of being recrawled. Being quoted for broader questions in ChatGPT or Perplexity usually takes a few months.
