The Future of AEO for UK SMEs: AAO, Share of Model and Regulated Sector

WHAT COMES
AFTER
AEO?

After AEO comes the agentic era. AI agents will soon book services, shortlist suppliers and make purchasing decisions on behalf of your customers, without a human deciding. AEO-REX is building three new services to prepare UK SMEs for what comes next. Nothing like this exists anywhere in the world yet.

From SEO to AEO to AAO: how AI search has evolved and where it is going next

The history of digital visibility is a history of adapting to how machines discover and recommend businesses. SEO got you ranked on Google. GEO got you cited in AI-generated summaries. AEO gets you recommended when someone asks an AI a question. The next stage is AAO, which gets your business chosen by AI agents acting entirely without human input.

Frontier One

Assistive Agent
Optimisation (AAO)

The Layer After AEO

Assistive Agent Optimisation (AAO) is the practice of structuring a business's online presence so that autonomous AI agents can discover, verify and select it without any human involvement.

By 2028, Gartner predicts AI agents will command $15 trillion in B2B purchases. If your business is not readable by machines, you will not be in the selection pool.

Machine-readable pricing and service data
llms.txt file creation and optimisation
Third-party trust signal and corroboration strategy
Agent readiness testing with ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity

Frontier Two

Share of Model
Tracking

Your New Market Share Metric

Share of Model is the percentage of AI-generated responses in your market category that recommend or cite your brand. It is the AI-era equivalent of market share.

AEO-REX is building the first Share of Model tracker for UK small businesses with monthly scores, competitor comparisons and actionable fix reports across ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI.
