AEO · AI search visibility

They’re asking AI who to hire. Make sure it says your name.

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews answer “who should I call?” with a short list. AEO from Near Me Boost helps you earn a spot on it.

What changed

Search used to give a list. Now it gives an answer.

Google shows AI-written summaries above many local searches, and millions of people ask chat assistants for recommendations every day. Those answers name a handful of businesses at most.

That changes the goal. Ranking seventh used to mean some clicks. In an AI answer there is no seventh place. You’re either named or you’re not, and the assistant moves on to your competitor.

What AI assistants need before they name you

  • Clear answers to the questions customers actually ask, on your own site.
  • Structured data (schema) that spells out who you are, what you do, and where.
  • Consistent facts about your business everywhere it appears online.
  • Outside confirmation from other sites, reviews, and community discussions.
What your AEO plan builds

Four layers that make you the obvious answer.

Answer content

Short, quotable answers to your customers’ real questions, written for people and easy for AI tools to lift.

Schema & entity data

JSON-LD markup plus consistent business details so machines can confirm exactly who you are.

Real-phone footprint

Our phone network browses content tied to your business, strengthening the link between your name, your services, and your area.

Citation monitoring

Each month we check your target questions across the major AI tools and show you, with screenshots, where you’re named.

Shares the one-time $650 Initial LSOE Review with SEO

Every SEO and AEO plan starts with an Initial LSOE Review · $650 one-time

Before a single search runs, we review your Google Business Profile, website, categories, citations, and competitors, fix what’s holding you back, and lock in the right keywords for your market. Signals sent to a broken foundation are wasted, so this step comes first.

For service-area businesses

No storefront? This is where you can win.

The Map Pack rewards businesses close to the searcher, which works against anyone who drives to the job. AI answers don’t care where your truck parks. They care whether you’re clearly described, consistently listed, and talked about.

That’s why we usually start service-area businesses on AEO, and why we’ll say so up front.

Strong fits for AEO

  • Plumbers, electricians, HVAC, and roofers
  • Cleaning, pest control, and lawn care
  • Mobile detailing, grooming, and repair
  • Storefronts that want a second way to be found
AI search questions

What owners ask us about AEO.

What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?

AEO is the work of making your business the one AI assistants name when someone asks for a recommendation. Instead of chasing a position in a list of links, you make it easy for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews to understand what you do, verify you’re real and reputable, and quote you. Read the full explainer.

How do I get my business mentioned by ChatGPT?

Give it clear answers to quote, structured data to read, consistent facts to trust, and mentions on other sites to confirm all of it. Our AEO plans build each piece. Here’s how it works.

What is an AI search campaign?

A campaign targets one customer question, such as “best emergency plumber in Raleigh,” across the major AI assistants. We build the answer content and markup for it, reinforce it with real-phone browsing, and check monthly whether you’re being cited. AEO Pro includes 5 campaigns, Pro Plus 7, and Premiere 10.

Does AEO replace Map Pack SEO?

No. They cover two different places customers look. Storefronts usually do best running both. Service-area businesses usually lead with AEO, since AI answers don’t favor whoever is physically closest.

How do you show it’s working?

Every month you get a report showing which target questions you were cited for, on which AI tools, with screenshots, plus the health of your schema and business data.

Is there a setup fee for AEO?

AEO shares the same one-time $650 Initial LSOE Review as SEO. If you’ve already had it for SEO, there’s no second setup fee.
