Briefing / Quick answers

AEO (SEO + GEO), in short

What is it?

AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) is the practice of making a business easy to find and quote wherever people ask questions. It combines SEO, which improves rankings in search engines such as Google, with GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation), which helps AI engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews cite your business.

Who is it for?

It is for owners of businesses with 1–50 people in the UAE, Oman, the wider GCC and India, and remote clients worldwide, whose customers search online before they buy, and who want to appear both in Google results and in the answers AI assistants give.

What do you get?

You get a technical SEO audit, on-page and content improvements, schema markup, local SEO including your Google Business Profile, GEO work so AI engines can understand and cite you, an llms.txt file, and regular ranking and AI-citation reports written in plain language.

Intel / Frequently asked questions

AEO (SEO + GEO) FAQ

What is AEO?

AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimisation. It is the practice of making your business easy to find and quote wherever people ask questions, both in search engines like Google and in AI assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. At HMH LABZ, AEO means SEO and GEO done together.

What is the difference between SEO and GEO?

SEO improves how your pages rank in search engines such as Google. GEO, or Generative Engine Optimisation, improves the chance that AI engines such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews mention and cite your business in their answers. They share foundations, so we do them together.

What is llms.txt?

llms.txt is a plain-text file placed on your website that gives AI engines a short, clear summary of your business and links to your most important pages. It is a simple way to help language models read your site correctly. We write and publish it as part of AEO.

Can you guarantee a number one ranking or an AI citation?

No. Nobody can honestly guarantee a specific ranking or citation, because search engines and AI engines decide what to show. What we do is fix the things within your control, such as site health, content, schema and local listings, and report progress clearly.

Do you handle Google Business Profile?

Yes. Local SEO is part of AEO. We set up or tidy your Google Business Profile, check your business details are consistent across listings, and advise on gathering genuine reviews, so nearby customers can find you in Google Search and Maps.

How will I see progress?

You receive regular reports showing how your pages rank for agreed search terms and where AI engines mention or cite your business. Reports are written in plain language, with a short list of what we did and what we will do next.
