Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

Empowering Intelligent Workflows

Be the answer AI gives your customers

SEO put you on page one. AEO puts you inside the answer. We engineer your brand to be cited, trusted, and surfaced by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and every AI that shapes buying decisions.

START YOUR AEO AUDIT SEE HOW IT WORKS

68% of searches now end without a click to any website

3x higher conversion when a brand is cited in an AI answer

92% of users trust AI-cited sources more than organic

The search box is being replaced by a question

When someone asks an AI "what's the best tool for X," that AI pulls from structured data, authoritative content, and brand signals — not just keyword rankings. AEO is the discipline of making sure your brand is the answer it reaches for.

cxrus.ai has built a systematic methodology to audit, restructure, and amplify your digital presence specifically for how large language models discover, evaluate, and cite brands.

How it works

Six levers that put you inside the answer

AEO Visibility Audit

We query 12+ AI engines with your category's key questions and map exactly where your brand appears, where competitors dominate, and what gaps to close.

Entity & Knowledge Graph Optimization

We build and reinforce your brand's entity profile across Wikipedia, Wikidata, schema markup, and authoritative third-party sources that LLMs trust at training time.

Answer-Ready Content Architecture

From FAQ clusters to deep explainers, we restructure your content so every key question in your category has a clear, citable, AI-digestible answer hosted on your domain.

Citation Authority Building

We place your brand in the publications, industry databases, and expert roundups that AI models weight most heavily — turning third-party mentions into answer-engine equity.

Structured Data & Semantic Markup

Schema.org implementation, FAQPage markup, HowTo schemas, and product/service structured data that make your content unambiguously parseable by any AI crawler.

Ongoing AI Mention Monitoring

Monthly reporting on your AI citation share across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Bing Copilot — with competitive benchmarks and next-step recommendations.

Questions worth asking before you start

How is AEO different from content marketing?

Content marketing optimizes for human readers and search engines. AEO optimizes for how AI models parse, store, and retrieve information. It includes structured data, entity registration, and citation sourcing that content marketing alone never addresses.

How long before we see results?

Within 30 to 90 days, as search engines and LLM graphs re-crawl and verify structured entity updates.

Does AEO replace SEO?

No, they work together. SEO drives immediate user clicks, while AEO captures AI assistant citations.

Which AI engines do you optimize for?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, and Bing Copilot.

Do you work with companies outside Singapore?

Yes, we support businesses globally across APAC, US, and Europe.
