AEO / GEO · for founder-led firms
Be the answer.
When a buyer asks ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude who to hire, the answer is built from sources you can map. We map them, find out why you're missing, and tell your team what to fix first.
Example: an AI answer engine names your firm in response to a buyer query.
What is Answer Intent?
Answer Intent is a one-person AEO and GEO consultancy for founder-led businesses. It measures how often a business appears in answers from ChatGPT, Google/Gemini and Claude across repeated runs, maps the sources those engines cite for buyers' questions, and gives the business's own team a ranked list of fixes on its website and off it. Answer Intent does not implement changes or access client websites.

What is Answer Intent?
Answer Intent is a one-person AEO and GEO consultancy for founder-led businesses. We measure how often your business appears in answers from ChatGPT, Google/Gemini and Claude, map the sources those engines cite when buyers ask about your category, and give your team a ranked list of fixes on your website and off it. We deliver files and briefs. We never implement changes or log in to your site.
Who is Answer Intent for?
Founder-led firms of 1 to 15 people in professional services, B2B and other expertise-led categories, mainly in the US and Canada. You already show up on Google but rarely appear when buyers ask AI tools who to hire. You need a developer or web agency for the site changes, and someone on your team who can handle listings, reviews and profiles.
What is included in an AEO engagement?
Every engagement starts with the audit: your visibility across ChatGPT, Google/Gemini and Claude, a competitor comparison and a prioritised plan. The sprint adds an entity fact sheet, a source placement plan, 3 priority briefs and a re-measure at 90 days. Retainers add monthly reports, briefs and tracking. Perplexity and other engines are paid add-ons, quoted per client.
Do I need to give you access to my website?
No. We never ask for logins, CMS access or admin rights. We deliver files and briefs. Your developer makes the website changes and your team handles off-site work such as directory listings and review profiles. Each delivery includes a one-page guide that says who does what, so nothing depends on us touching your systems.
How long does delivery take?
The audit takes 5 business days once we have your domain, your main competitors and the questions your buyers ask. The sprint takes 10 business days after the audit. Retainer reports arrive monthly. How fast AI answers change after your team acts depends on when each engine next reads the updated pages and listings, which is why we re-measure at 90 days.
What does AEO cost?
The audit is $500 (€450) and every engagement starts there. The sprint is $2,500 (€2,250). Retainers are $1,500 (€1,350), $2,250 (€2,025) or $3,000 (€2,700) a month. Legal, financial, insurance and healthcare firms pay $750 (€675) for the audit and $3,200 (€2,880) for the sprint. The audit fee is credited toward the sprint or your first retainer month.
Isn't AEO just SEO?
For Google, largely yes. Google says its AI answers run on its core search systems, so solid SEO is the foundation. ChatGPT and Claude pick sources their own way, and across engines the signals most linked to being named are mentions on other sites. We measure which sources each engine trusts for your buyers' questions and tell you what to change first.
What if nothing moves?
Every recommendation comes with its evidence: the buyer question, the engine, and the source that engine cited. If a deliverable is missing that evidence or gets a fact wrong, we rework it at no charge. If your team completes the priority fixes within 30 days and your visibility rate across our tracked questions has not moved at the 90-day mark, we diagnose why and brief the next fix at no additional cost.
