FAQ
What is an AEO agency?
An AEO agency gets your products cited and recommended by AI assistants through clean product data and structured markup, not just search rankings.
How is this different from a normal SEO agency?
SEO chases Google rankings. AEO makes sure AI can read and recommend your products, which runs on structured data quality.
Why expand the list to ten?
More brands are asking, and more agencies now offer real AEO work. Ten gives a fuller picture with tighter criteria.
How do I verify an agency's AEO claims?
Ask for a before-and-after showing a product that went from invisible to recommended in AI results.
