# AEO-REX

> AEO-REX is the UK's only Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) consultancy built specifically for UK small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs). Founded by Shanaz Begum, an AI visibility specialist, digital consultant, and BTEC Applied Science lecturer based in Birmingham, West Midlands. AEO-REX helps UK SMEs get cited and recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Google AI Overviews, and other AI-powered search platforms. Tagline: "Evolve or Become Extinct."

AEO-REX was founded to solve a single urgent problem: UK small businesses are becoming invisible to a generation of buyers who now search using AI assistants rather than traditional search engines. We provide affordable, practical AEO and GEO services designed for SME budgets and non-technical business owners across the UK.

Shanaz Begum is the founder and lead consultant. She has a background in physics education, IT consulting, and digital marketing. She appeared on the Islam Channel Today Show in January 2026 to discuss AI and business visibility. She is a Les Mills certified fitness instructor and BTEC Applied Science lecturer at BMet College Birmingham, specialising in Medical Physics and Lab Techniques. She is a member of Redbridge Chamber of Commerce and Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce.

AEO-REX is based in Birmingham, West Midlands, and serves businesses across the entire United Kingdom.
