Stay visible in AI-driven search and zero-click environments.
Search isn’t what it used to be.
Buyers no longer click through as often. Instead, they get answers directly from AI engines like Google’s SGE, Bing Copilot, and from AI assistants like ChatGPT. To stay visible, your content has to be structured, credible and ready to be cited in AI summaries and generative results. That’s what our Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) services deliver.

How Elevation’s AEO/GEO Services Drive Search Visibility
Answer Readiness:
Increase Inclusion in AI Summaries
We structure content to give clear, scannable summaries upfront and provide coverage for follow-up questions. This makes it easy for answer engines and generative systems to cite your content as the go-to source.
Schema & Technical Structure:
Improve Machine Readability
We apply structured data and clean semantic markup, so your content is machine-readable, increasing eligibility for inclusion in AI overviews, voice results and conversational search.
E-E-A-T & Authority Signals:
Build Trust with AI Engines
We strengthen credibility with expert bylines, certifications, analyst mentions and consistent entity data. E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authority, Trust) signals build brand authority, increasing the likelihood that your content is selected in AI-driven summaries.
Content Hubs & Interlinking:
Strengthen Topical Authority
We build topic clusters and link resources into cohesive hubs to signal topical authority and help engines interpret your site as a trusted knowledge library.
Visibility as a KPI:
Measure and Prove Search Impact
We measure success by tracking mentions in AI overviews, branded search growth and generative mentions alongside traffic and pipeline data. This provides actionable insights into how your brand is actually performing in AI-driven search—beyond clicks and rankings.
Optimizing for AI:
Visibility is Everything
In AI-driven search, visibility isn’t optional. If your brand doesn’t adapt your search strategy for generative summaries and answer bots, buyers may never know you were an option. Our AEO/GEO services ensure you:
- Stay Visible – Your brand appears in generative and conversational answers where buyers are looking
- Earn Trust – Engines and assistants reference your experts, research and data as authoritative sources.
- Drive Pipeline – High-intent buyers click through to in-depth resources that support decision-making.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What’s the difference between AEO and GEO?
AEO focuses on making your content easy to extract as direct answers in search and voice interfaces. GEO ensures your content is recognized, cited and surfaced across AI-driven summaries and conversational platforms.
How is AEO/GEO different from traditional SEO?
Traditional SEO aims to maximize visibility and traffic by ranking on search engine results pages (SERPs). AEO and GEO build on and adapt SEO for AI environments where engines generate answers directly. The goal isn’t just ranking—it’s being a source that AI-powered search engines cite.
How does E-E-A-T factor into AEO/GEO?
E-E-A-T has always been part of SEO, but even more important for surfacing in AI summaries. Answer and generative engines need these signals to determine which brands are credible enough to cite, making authority building critical to visibility.
How do you measure success if fewer users click through?
We track citations in AI overviews, branded search growth and downstream impact on pipeline. Visibility itself becomes a success metric when engines are doing more of the answering.
Should B2B brands change their content strategy for generative search?
Yes—but it’s about adapting, not replacing. B2B brands still need traditional SEO, but they also require content that’s structured for direct answers, supported by topical hubs, and backed by authority signals.
