Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
Visibility Analysis

Be the Brand AI Talks About

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is how you make sure your brand actually shows up when people ask questions in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Google’s AI Overviews.

It’s not just SEO with a new name – it’s how answer engine visibility works now.

How It Works (the simple version)

To show up in AI-generated answers, your brand needs three things:

1.  Presence – Put content where AI actually looks.
2.  Proof – Get mentioned around the web (links help, but buzz matters more).
3.  Parsing – Make your content readable for both humans and machines.

Do these right, and your brand becomes the answer.

Why This Matters

ChatGPT reached 100 million users faster than any app in history.
Google AI Overviews now appear in billions of searches every month (yep, billions).
Translation: People are asking questions differently, and AI decides who gets trusted and seen.

AEO doesn’t replace SEO – it levels it up. You’re not just optimizing keywords anymore.
You’re optimizing for conversations.

Where the MC Team Comes In

We blend smart content strategies, technical SEO, social intelligence, and actual data science to make sure your brand is recognized by both humans and machines.

Our team examines how your brand and competitors perform across leading answer engines. We do this to understand how your brand stacks up in AI-driven search – identifying where you’re winning visibility, where competitors are being cited instead, and what opportunities exist to strengthen your presence across answer engines.

We then fill in the gaps with:

  • Featured answers AI engines easily interpret
  • Mentions and co-citations that build authority
  • Content suggestions AI uses to learn and source

And we built a 6-Step AEO Blueprint to help you create branded content that gets trusted and sourced. Think of it as a playbook on becoming the brand answer engines remember.

We’ll Show You The Scoreboard

We don’t just “collect data” and hope for magic. We measure how AI talks about your brand – directly from Large Language Model (LLM) outputs and conversational data we access using our social intelligence tools.

That includes:

  • Share of Visibility + Sentiment Signals
  • Competitor + Category Comparisons
  • Featured Answers + Snippet Opportunities
  • High-value topics you should already own

Whether you’re starting with a baseline Brand Presence Scorecard (BPS) or diving deep using our Custom Marketplace Analysis (CMA) report, every program we deliver includes a built-in AEO visibility analysis. It’s a core part of how we measure and track brand visibility.

The future of search is conversational. The brands that show up as the answer win the attention, the trust, and the business.

If AI is shaping brand perception, we can help to make sure it’s shaping the right one.

Let’s put your brand where the answers are.
