The New SERP Economy

Rank one is now rank zero — and it's not yours yet.

62% of Google queries now serve an AI Overview above all organic results. The page that gets quoted gets 8× the click-through of position one. The rest fight for scraps.

01 · Extraction

The page that gets quoted wins.

Google's answer layer reads paragraphs, not pages. Sentence shape and schema beat domain authority — every time.

81% of citations come from non-top-3 pages
02 · Entity Graph

Entities decide what your page is.

Google's Knowledge Graph maps your content before it ranks it. Without entity disambiguation, your page is noise.

3.4× citation rate with entity tagging
03 · Schema Contract

Schema is the handshake.

Product, FAQ, ClaimReview — schema tells Gemini which sentence to lift. No schema, no snippet.

14 schema types per AEO build
The AEO Build

Four agents. One extractable surface.

Rewrite your highest-intent pages so Google's answer layer lifts them on the first crawl. Paragraph shape, schema, entities.

FAQ

The questions every CMO asks us.

How is AEO different from GEO? +
AEO targets Google's own answer surfaces — AI Overviews, featured snippets, People-Also-Ask. GEO targets ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude. The content shapes overlap ~60% but the schema, entity work, and corroboration sources differ. Most brands run both together — they reinforce each other inside Google's Knowledge Graph.
Will AEO hurt my existing organic traffic? +
The opposite. Pages rewritten for AEO rank higher in standard organic results too — across our cohort, average rank lift is 2.3 positions on the same keywords. The reason: Google rewards extractable, entity-rich, schema-validated content across every retrieval layer.
How fast will I see results? +
First snippet wins typically appear in week 3–5 after the rewrite + schema ship. Featured snippet captures take 6–9 weeks. AI Overview citations are the slowest — Google needs to see corroborating signals across 2–3 crawl cycles, typically 8–12 weeks.
Do you guarantee snippet capture? +
No serious operator can. We can guarantee the inputs — the schema validates, the entity graph is clean, the paragraphs match Google's snippet preferences. In our last 30 AEO engagements, 27 hit ≥40% snippet ownership on their priority page set inside 90 days.
What's the minimum brand size? +
AEO has a higher floor than GEO because Google requires more domain authority before AI Overviews trust your content. Recommended: $5M+ ARR, ≥40 indexed pages, and an existing brand presence in your category. Below that, we focus on GEO + Programmatic SEO first.
