Answer Engine Optimization and Generative Engine Optimization — the discipline of making your site readable by the AI models more people now use to find recommendations. The half of search most studios don’t ship.

- Clear “what we are” definition statements
- knowsAbout and sameAs properties
- Consistent NAP and entity data
llms.txt configuration.
- llms.txt file at the site root
- Curated guide to your best content
- Site overview and key pages mapped
- llms-full.txt for deep crawls
AI crawler permissions.
- GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot allowlist
- robots.txt configured for AI crawlers
- Selective gating for protected content
- Verification of crawler access
Local & generative signals.
- LocalBusiness schema where relevant
- Service area and territory markup
- Topical authority pages on key terms
- Citation-ready About content
Three signals that decide who gets named.
AI models don’t rank pages the way Google does. They look at different signals to decide which sites to surface in answers. Understanding those signals is the work.
Can the model parse you cleanly?
AI models prefer content structured as direct answers, not marketing copy. A page that opens with “We’re a passionate team of…” is harder to cite than one that opens with a clear definitional statement.
- Direct-answer paragraph structure
- Clear definitional statements
- Quotable, scannable formatting
Does the schema confirm what the page says?
When a model considers citing a site, it cross-references the visible content against the structured data. Sites with rich, accurate schema get cited more confidently than sites where the model has to guess.
- Organization, FAQ, and Article schema
- Schema matched to visible content
- Validated via Google Rich Results Test
Are AI crawlers allowed in?
Many sites block AI crawlers by default or by accident — through robots.txt, Cloudflare rules, or hosting settings. Sites that explicitly welcome GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot get indexed by them; sites that don’t, won’t.
- robots.txt allows AI crawlers
- llms.txt published at the root
- No CDN or firewall blocking
