What happens when AI finally knows you exist.

Within 6 weeks my firm appeared in ChatGPT results for four of our target queries. I'd never heard of AEO before Shanaz explained it. Now it's our biggest lead source.

Tariq M.

Immigration Solicitor · Birmingham

Three changes after the audit and Perplexity now cites us as a top Birmingham halal restaurant. Footfall has visibly increased from people finding us through AI.

Fatima K.

Restaurant Owner · Handsworth

The £199 Blueprint paid for itself in the first new patient from a Gemini query. Shanaz's approach is methodical and unlike anything the traditional SEO world offers.

Common questions

Everything you need to know about AEO.

What is Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)?

AEO is the practice of optimising your business so AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot cite and recommend you when users ask relevant questions. It is the evolution of traditional SEO for the AI-first era of search.

How is the AI Visibility Score calculated?

Five weighted signals across five platforms: Presence 30%, Prominence 25%, Consistency 20%, Recommendation Strength 15%, Entity Clarity 10%. Combined into a 0–100 score — like a credit score for AI search.

How is AEO different from traditional SEO?

SEO ranks you in Google's blue links. AEO gets you into AI-generated answers — where decisions are already made before anyone clicks a link. Both matter, but AEO is the new competitive battleground.

How quickly will I see results?

Most clients see first AI citations within 4–8 weeks of implementing the Blueprint. Structured data changes can be picked up by AI platforms within days.

Does AEO work for local UK businesses?

Local businesses benefit most from AEO. When someone asks AI for the best solicitor in Birmingham or a trusted plumber near me, it must cite a specific business. AEO-REX makes that business yours.

Who founded AEO-REX?

Shanaz Begum — former physics teacher, Les Mills instructor and IT consultant from Birmingham. She founded the UK's first AEO consultancy after recognising the shift from Google to AI-powered search when ChatGPT launched.
