We'll make your business the answer in ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity and Gemini. In 4 weeks.
AEO-REX® Foundation Build is a fixed-scope, fixed-price project for UK SMEs who want AI search visibility but don't have time to do the work themselves. We implement everything: the audit, the schema, the FAQs, the llms.txt, the page meta updates, and validate it all before handover.
The problem
Your customers are asking AI for recommendations. And your business probably isn't being mentioned.
Most UK SME websites don't appear in AI-generated answers, even for searches their customers run every day.
Traditional SEO ranks links. AI engines cite answers. The two require different work. Your existing website might be perfectly fine for Google but still invisible when someone asks ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini "who's the best [your category] in [your area]?". The fix is technical, repeatable, and exactly what we do.
What's included
Every Foundation Build delivers seven concrete outputs.
No vague consultancy hours. Each item below is a deliverable file, schema block, or piece of implemented HTML you can verify yourself.
Kick-off call & audit
60-minute kick-off call to map your goals, your customers' likely AI queries, and your current visibility baseline using AGENTREX.
Full schema implementation
Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, BreadcrumbList: every schema type your category needs, written and deployed as JSON-LD.
FAQ creation & markup
We write the questions AI engines pull as citations, plus the FAQPage schema that makes them eligible.
llms.txt & robots.txt setup
The two files that tell AI crawlers what to index and how to interpret your site. Most UK SMEs don't have these. Yours will.
Content & heading restructure
Question-style headings and answer-shaped paragraphs that make your existing content citable without rewriting it from scratch.
10 priority page meta updates
The ten highest-impact page-level meta and heading fixes (title tags, meta descriptions, H1s) to align your top pages with the questions your customers ask AI.
Post-launch validation
Every change validated against Google Rich Results, Schema.org validator, and live AI engine tests before handover.
The 4-week process
From kick-off call to validated handover, week by week.
Discovery & audit
Kick-off call, AGENTREX scan, competitor benchmark, prompt-mapping for your category, written audit report.
Schema & FAQ build
All schema types written and deployed. FAQ content drafted, reviewed by you, then marked up.
Content & meta updates
Heading restructure, llms.txt deployment, 10 priority page meta updates, robots.txt configuration.
Validation & handover
Rich Results testing, AI engine spot-checks, handover document, 30-day post-launch fix window begins.

Frequently asked
Common questions about Foundation Build.
What does the Foundation Build include?
The 4-week project includes a kick-off call, full AGENTREX audit, complete schema markup (Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList), 12-15 FAQs written and marked up, llms.txt and robots.txt setup, question-style heading restructure, 10 priority page meta updates, post-launch validation against Google Rich Results, and a 30-day post-launch fix window. Internal linking and entity fixes are included in the £2,997 90-day tier.
How long does it take?
Four weeks from kick-off call to delivery. Week 1 is discovery and audit, week 2 is schema and FAQ implementation, week 3 is content restructuring and meta updates, week 4 is validation and handover.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. Foundation Build (£1,497) can be paid as £499 × 3 monthly or £249 × 6 monthly. Foundation Build + 90 Day Optimisation (£2,997) can be paid as £999 × 3 monthly or £499 × 6 monthly. There is no surcharge for splitting payments and no annual contract required. Work pauses if a payment fails and resumes when the missed instalment clears.
What's the difference between £1,497 and £2,997?
The £1,497 Foundation Build is the 4-week implementation project. The £2,997 Foundation Build + 90 Day Optimisation extends it with three months of monthly monitoring reports, two rounds of revisions based on AI engine feedback, priority email support (24-hour turnaround), a quarterly 30-minute review call, plus internal linking and entity fixes that aren't included in the base tier. The 90-day version is recommended for businesses where AI search visibility is a meaningful revenue driver.
Can I see results before paying in full?
Yes. We work on 50% deposit at kick-off and 50% on delivery, or split into 3 or 6 monthly instalments. Either way, you see the audit, the schema, and the validation results before the project completes.
How many projects do you take per month?
Foundation Build is capped at four projects per month to ensure quality. Once capacity is reached, you'll be added to the next month's waiting list.
Do I need to give you my website login?
Yes, but only temporarily and only with the access level needed for implementation. We work with WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow, custom HTML, and most other UK SME website platforms. Access is revoked at handover.
What if I'm not happy with the result?
The scope is fixed and validated against published criteria: Google Rich Results, Schema.org validator, AGENTREX score improvement. If a deliverable in the scope-of-work isn't completed, we complete it. The 30-day post-launch fix window covers anything we implemented that returns invalid markup or breaks.
Will this guarantee I appear in ChatGPT?
No-one can guarantee AI engine outputs. They change constantly and are influenced by factors outside any consultant's control. What we guarantee is correct, validated implementation of every recognised AEO signal: schema, semantic content, FAQ markup, llms.txt, and entity-aware internal linking. These are the foundations AI engines look for. Results typically show within 30 to 90 days as engines re-crawl and re-train.
