AEO — being the answer AI engines give when your customers ask. We measure how often, and how accurately, your brand appears when AI assistants answer your customers' questions. We do the work that improves it. We report every number with its method disclosed.
Fixed scope. Fixed fee. Maximum results.
The buyer chooses.
Something else chose.
Most of what you already do still matters. What changed is the unit of optimization: from ranked position to inclusion and framing inside a synthesized answer, measured per engine.
A page can rank first and still be missing from the answer.
Ranking first is no longer the same as being cited.
We measure it, do the work, and report it with the method attached.
How often you appear in answers to an agreed question set, against named competitors — plus citation rate. Same question set, same panel, every run.
Answer-first structure, real facts and figures, cited sources, a clean entity footprint. Fixed scope — never hourly.
Re-measured against the same baseline, under the reporting standard below, with a change log of engine and model events in the window.
The tools in this market largely give you software to operate — they measure, you fix. The market is young and split between rebrandable software on one side and invisible fulfilment on the other. We combine the two: we measure and do the work, at fixed scope, with every metric's methodology disclosed — directly for companies, and wholesale under agencies' brands.
"A fixed-scope read on how your brand actually appears in AI answers today — which questions surface you, which surface your competitors, where the gaps are, and the 90-day plan to close them."
"We rebuild a defined set of your pages so AI answers can actually quote them — answer-first structure, real facts and figures, cited sources, and a clean entity footprint — then re-measure against the same baseline."
"We switch on everything that can be measured about AI-driven visits, and write down plainly what still cannot be seen."
"An ongoing program that watches how AI answers treat you, ships the work that changes it, and reports monthly with the method attached."
Every metric we report discloses: the questions asked (prompt universe), the denominator, the engines, geography and language, collection method, run count, cadence, date window, competitor set, and confidence. Trend reports carry a change log of engine and model events in the window — so you can tell our work apart from platform noise.
What can be measured — and what genuinely cannot.
Partnering with you, empowering your brand.
AI search visibility, delivered under your brand. Your client, your contract, your retail. Non-circumvention in writing.
Your contract with your client, your brand throughout, pilot terms agreed up front. If it works, you have a case study of your own. If it doesn't, you have a disclosed measurement of why — which is worth having either way.
Many names for one shift.
Here's what it all means.

AI search visibilityPlain language
You will see "AIO" used for at least three different things — AI Overviews, AI optimization, and artificial-intelligence operations. It is not a category label, and we don't use it as one. If someone sells you "AIO," ask them which of the three they mean.
What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the work of being the answer AI engines give when your customers ask. It covers measuring how often and how accurately a brand appears in AI-generated answers, then changing the content, entity and citation signals those answers draw on.
How is AEO different from SEO?
The unit of optimization changes: from ranked position to inclusion and framing inside a synthesized answer, measured per engine. A page can rank first and still be missing from the answer. Most fundamentals carry over.
What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
GEO is optimizing how generative AI systems find, quote, and frame your content. In practice the market uses GEO and AEO interchangeably; so do we, because buyers search both.
What does "AIO" mean?
It has at least three live meanings: Google's AI Overviews, AI optimization, and AI operations. Because it is ambiguous, we don't use it as a category label. Ask any vendor using it which one they mean.
What is share of answer?
Share of answer is how often your brand appears in answers to an agreed question set, compared with a named competitor set, measured per engine. Citation rate is how often your pages are the credited source.
Can you guarantee we will be cited in ChatGPT?
No. Nobody can honestly promise rankings, citations, traffic, or revenue. We commit to the work, to the agreed scope, plus measurement reported under our disclosed standard. If someone promises you outcomes, ask them for their method.
Which AI engines can actually be measured today?
Google publishes a dedicated generative-AI performance report in Search Console, launched 3 June 2026, covering Google Search and Discover only. No equivalent exists for Bing, ChatGPT, or Perplexity, so those are measured by our own disclosed panel. An estimated 60–70% of AI-influenced visits are misclassified in standard analytics — an industry estimate, not a measurement.
Does llms.txt or schema markup get us cited?
On current evidence, no. llms.txt has reached ~10% adoption across roughly 300,000 domains with no measurable correlation to being cited (SE Ranking) — we don't sell it. The strongest study on schema markup found AI citations barely moved (Ahrefs, 1,885 pages, May 2026); we keep markup tidy and do not sell it as the lever.
Do you work with agencies?
Yes — wholesale and white-label. You keep the client, the contract, and your retail pricing; the deliverables carry your brand; non-circumvention is in writing. Direct company engagements and agency partnerships run side by side.
Do you have case studies?
Not yet. We are a new venture, we have no case studies, and we are not going to invent any. What we can show you is the method we would use and exactly what it will and will not tell you. [Client examples — coming with our first pilots]
How is this priced?
Everything is fixed-scope or recurring — never hourly. We scope in a short conversation and quote against that scope; we don't publish rate cards we can't stand behind.
What is CAJOLE?
CAJOLE is an answer engine optimization (AEO) and AI search visibility company. We measure how often — and how accurately — a brand appears when AI assistants like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Copilot, and Gemini answer customers' questions, we do the work that improves it, and we report every number with its method disclosed.

A baseline assessment is a fixed-scope read on how your brand actually appears in AI answers today — and the 90-day plan to close the gaps. Two to three weeks. No pricing games, no promised outcomes.
