Rank on Google. Get Cited by AI.
Traditional SEO gets you found by humans via search engines. AEO gets your content cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. I do both, technically and structurally.
Why Most WordPress Sites Fail at SEO
Common SEO & AEO Gaps
- No structured data, AI models can't parse your expertise
- Thin content with no entity depth or topical authority
- Slow page speed (CWV) dragging down rankings
- Duplicate title tags and missing meta descriptions
- Internal linking structure with no clear hierarchy
- Zero AI readiness, invisible to ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini
The Technical SEO + AEO Approach
- JSON-LD schema for Person, Service, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, Article
- Topical cluster architecture with pillar pages and supporting content
- CWV baseline and performance optimization included
- Canonical URLs, hreflang, XML sitemap, technically clean
- Silo structure + keyword-mapped internal linking
- Entity-based optimization to surface in AI answer digests
What You Get
- Full technical SEO audit (crawl errors, canonical, sitemap, robots.txt)
- Keyword research & topical cluster mapping
- JSON-LD structured data implementation (Schema.org)
- On-page optimization: titles, metas, headings, alt text
- AEO readiness: entity optimization, FAQ schema, citation-ready content structure
- Content architecture strategy with competitor gap analysis
- Google Search Console setup, tracking, and baseline reporting

From Content to AI Citation
AEO is a layered discipline. Each layer below builds on the last, skip one and you lose the citation.
How I Work
Full Audit
Technical crawl, keyword gap analysis, competitor benchmark, and structured data inventory. Deliver a prioritized finding report.
Strategy
Build the topical cluster map, keyword-to-page assignments, internal linking architecture, and an AEO readiness score for your existing content.
Technical Implementation
Apply JSON-LD schemas, fix canonical issues, optimize sitemap, hreflang, robots.txt, and page-level on-page elements (titles, H1s, alt text).
Content Optimization
Rewrite or extend existing pages to match topical intent and entity signals. Create FAQ content in the format AI engines prefer to cite.
Monitoring & Reporting
Google Search Console tracking, AI citation monitoring (Perplexity, ChatGPT queries), and a monthly SEO health report with ranking movement.
SEO & AEO FAQs
What is AEO and how is it different from SEO?
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is about ranking in traditional search engine results pages, Google's 10 blue links. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is about getting your content surfaced by AI systems that synthesize answers rather than list links: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and similar. AEO requires structured data, strong entity signals, and content structured to answer specific questions concisely. You need both, AI-cited content still drives traffic, but through a different mechanism than traditional clicks.
How long does it take to see SEO results?
Technical SEO improvements (fixing crawl errors, adding structured data, improving page speed) can show impact within 4–8 weeks via improved indexation and rich result eligibility. Ranking improvements for competitive keywords typically take 3–6 months of sustained work. AEO citations from AI systems can appear faster, sometimes within weeks of adding well-structured FAQ content, because AI models update their indexes more frequently than traditional search engines rerank pages.
Do I need ongoing SEO work or is it a one-time project?
The technical foundation (audit, schema, on-page fixes) is project-based and has a defined end. But rankings are not static, competitors are always improving, Google's algorithm updates constantly, and AI engines re-index frequently. Ongoing monitoring, content expansion, and schema maintenance are needed to defend and extend rankings over time. I offer both one-time audit/implementation projects and ongoing monthly retainers.
Will you write the content for me as part of SEO?
My SEO consulting scope covers technical SEO, structured data, on-page optimization of existing content, and content strategy (what to write and how to structure it). I do not write long-form content as part of the standard scope, but I do rewrite existing page copy for SEO and AEO alignment. If you need full content creation, I can recommend specialist content writers to collaborate with.
Can you guarantee a #1 Google ranking?
No one can ethically guarantee a specific ranking position, if someone promises you #1 for a competitive keyword, that is a red flag. What I can guarantee is that the technical quality of your site will meet or exceed Google's standards, that your structured data will be correct and complete, that your page speed will not be a drag on rankings, and that I will be transparent about what the data shows every month. Rankings are a signal of all these factors combined, over time.
