Understanding the Shift

SEO gets you seen. AEO gets you cited.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) gets your website seen through traditional blue links, while AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) gets your brand cited directly inside AI-generated summaries. Local queries are increasingly answered directly by AI tools too — 'best [service] near me' can trigger a synthesised recommendation rather than a map pack, making consistent, structured local business data more important, not less.

01

SEO | What People See

Blue Links A list of ten ranked web page URLs on a search results page. • Organic Traffic Users physically click a link to read the full article on your site. • Keyword Focus Results match specific text queries typed into a search.

02

AEO | What People See

Direct Answers A synthesised paragraph or text block that answers the user's question immediately on the screen. • Zero-Click Results Users get the information they need without leaving the current page. • Brand Citations Your brand name or logo appears as the cited source or in a footnote in tools like Chat GPT, Perplexity, or Google AI Overviews.

What Clients Say

Results our local SEO clients have seen

Full write-ups, budgets, and before/after numbers live on our case studies page — a few highlights below.

★★★★★

""Our Google Business Profile had three different phone numbers listed across different directories. Fixing NAP consistency alone moved us into the local pack.""

★★★★★

""They refused to build location pages for suburbs we don't actually serve, even though we asked. That honesty paid off in trust and rankings both.""

★★★★★

""The review generation process actually works — we went from a handful of reviews to a genuine steady stream.""

FAQ

Common questions

A combination of Google Business Profile completeness, review quantity and quality, citation consistency, and on-site local relevance signals — no single factor guarantees placement.

NAP stands for Name, Address, Phone — keeping this identical across your website, Google Business Profile, and every directory listing is a foundational local SEO trust signal.

There's no fixed threshold, but review volume, recency, and average rating all factor into local ranking — a steady, genuine review generation process outperforms a one-time push.

Only for suburbs where you genuinely serve customers and there's real search demand — fabricated location pages for areas you don't serve can hurt trust and rankings.

Yes — it requires location-specific pages, individual Google Business Profiles per location, and citation management at scale, rather than a single generic strategy.
