AEO-REX® Launches as the UK's First Dedicated Answer Engine Optimisation Consultancy for Small Businesses

Birmingham, United Kingdom — AEO-REX®, founded by Shanaz Begum, has launched as the United Kingdom's first and only consultancy dedicated exclusively to Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) for small businesses.

As AI-powered search tools such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Claude and Copilot rapidly replace traditional search engines, businesses that fail to optimise for these platforms risk becoming invisible to their customers. AEO-REX was created to solve this problem for the businesses that need it most — small and medium-sized enterprises that cannot afford the fees charged by large London agencies.

AEO-REX offers a complete suite of services including:

AI Visibility Reports that show businesses exactly how they appear across all major AI platforms. Done For You AEO implementation that applies schema markup, structured content, entity optimisation and AI crawler access. A Monthly Watchdog service that continuously monitors AI visibility. And a Growth Plan that combines AEO with public relations through a strategic partnership with Tamanna Miah PR.

The company has also developed a Progressive Web App available at app.aeo-rex.com and a suite of free AI visibility tools at tools.aeo-rex.com, making professional-grade AEO analysis accessible to every business owner in the UK.

Shanaz Begum, Founder and CEO of AEO-REX, said:

"Every small business in the UK deserves to be visible in AI search. The shift from traditional search to answer engines is the biggest change in digital marketing in twenty years. I built AEO-REX because nobody else was helping the businesses that need it most — the independent shops, the local service providers, the one-person operations. They deserve the same AI visibility as the big brands."

AEO-REX® is a registered trademark in the United Kingdom covering Classes 9, 35, 41 and 42, filed April 2026 with the UK Intellectual Property Office.
