You Only Pay When You Rank in AI Answers

Most agencies charge big retainers whether or not AI ever mentions you. I don't.

No long contracts, no lock‑in, no risk to begin.

Why Hire Me

The AEO Expert Brands Trust to Win AI Answers

I'm Gaurav Singh Mehra — a specialist AEO expert and an experienced AI SEO expert who now focuses on getting brands cited and recommended by AI. If you want to be the answer engines actually give — across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews — this is exactly what I do, backed by real experience, transparency and results (true E‑E‑A‑T).

Specialist, Not Generalist

AEO is my core focus — I live in AI search daily, testing what genuinely earns citations across every engine, so you get an expert who does this all day, not on the side.

10+ Years in Search

A decade of SEO and content experience underpins everything — I understand exactly why AI cites some brands and ignores others, and how to move you into the first group.

Every Major AI Engine

I optimise for ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and Google AI Overviews — not a single platform, but the entire answer ecosystem your buyers now trust.

Real Citation Tracking

I measure actual AI citations and share of voice, not guesses. You see exactly where you appear, where competitors beat you, and precisely why — reported every week.

True E‑E‑A‑T Focus

I build the experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trust signals AI models reward — the durable foundation behind brands that stay visible in AI answers.

Direct, Transparent, Results‑First

You work with me directly, pay only when you see results, and get clear weekly reporting throughout — no juniors, no jargon, no black box.

How It Works

My AEO Process Is Built Differently to SEO

Traditional SEO chases rankings and clicks. Answer Engine Optimization works at the level of answers, entities and citations — so the process is different from the ground up. Here's how I get you into AI answers.

AI Visibility Baseline

I query ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot with your buyer questions to measure exactly how often AI mentions you today — your real starting point.

Question & Entity Mapping

I map the prompts and questions your audience asks AI, and define your brand entity — the foundation AI uses to decide who to trust and cite.

Answer‑First Content & Schema

I rebuild content into clear, extractable answers with the right structured data — so AI can lift your content directly into its responses.

Entity Authority & Citations

Digital PR, mentions and references across the trusted sources AI learns from — building the credibility that turns you into the recommended answer.

Track, Measure & Iterate

I monitor your AI citations and share of voice weekly, then expand what earns answers — compounding your visibility across every engine.

SEO vs AEO

How Answer Engine Optimization Differs From Traditional SEO

SEO gets you ranked. AEO gets you quoted. They share DNA — quality content, technical health, authority — but the goals, units and metrics are fundamentally different.

AEO FAQ

Answer Engine Optimization: Common Questions

What brands ask me most about AEO — sorted by topic.

AEO is the practice of optimising your brand and content to become the direct answer that AI and search engines give — in AI answers, featured snippets, voice results and People Also Ask — rather than just one of ten blue links.
I make your brand the answer AI chooses. That means AI visibility audits, answer‑first content, schema, brand‑entity building, digital PR and citation tracking — all aimed at getting you cited across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot and AI Overviews.
Yes. SEO optimises pages to rank in search results; AEO optimises answers, entities and citations so AI extracts and recommends you directly. They share foundations, but the goals and metrics differ — rankings versus AI citation rate.
They work best together. Strong SEO makes your content discoverable and crawlable; AEO makes it the cited answer. If you want both, see my AI SEO expert services and we'll align the whole strategy.
Yes — AEO is inherently global. AI engines serve answers worldwide, so I work with brands across the US, UK, Europe, the Middle East, India, Australia and beyond, in any English‑language market.
It depends on your goals, competition and scope. As an independent specialist I'm more flexible and cost‑effective than an agency — and you start risk‑free, paying only once you see your brand appearing in AI answers. I share transparent pricing after a free audit.
No advance to begin. I start your AEO, get your brand appearing in AI answers and snippets — often with first wins in about 7 days — and you only pay once you can see it working. No long contracts, no lock‑in.
No. Unlike most agencies, I keep things flexible — engage project‑by‑project or as an ongoing resource, whatever fits your goals and budget.
Both. I run one‑time AEO audits and fixes as well as ongoing programs that keep expanding your AI answer coverage month after month.
Yes — the initial AI visibility audit and strategy call are free with no obligation. You'll see exactly where you appear (or don't) across the major AI engines.
Book a free AEO audit. I query the major AI engines with your buyer questions, show you where you stand, map the fastest wins, and you can start risk‑free — paying only once you see results.
In many cases, yes — first AI‑answer and snippet wins often appear within about 7 days once answer‑first content and schema are in place. Broader, competitive coverage compounds over the following weeks.
By real outcomes: how often AI engines cite you, your share of voice versus competitors, snippet and answer‑box wins, and the questions where you're now the answer — reported clearly every week.
ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot — plus featured snippets, voice and People Also Ask. I optimise for the whole answer ecosystem, not one platform.
Yes. I can guide your in‑house team or run everything end‑to‑end, and I work with your existing CMS, analytics and content stack.
Your brand appearing and being cited in AI answers, more featured snippets and answer boxes, a higher share of voice than competitors in AI search, and durable visibility as AI keeps growing as a discovery channel.
AEO works across SaaS, e‑commerce, finance, healthcare, real estate, professional services, manufacturing and more — anywhere buyers ask AI questions before deciding. Strategy adapts to your niche.
I use AI‑citation tracking to monitor where and how often engines mention you, benchmark share of voice against rivals, and send clear weekly reports — not vanity impressions.
Yes. The same answer‑first structure that wins AI citations also wins featured snippets, position zero and voice results — so AEO strengthens your visibility across all of them.
Yes — GEO is the generative‑AI focused sibling of AEO. If you specifically want to be cited and recommended inside generative answers, see my GEO services.
