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. Instagram is often part of a buyer's research trail even when the eventual purchase happens elsewhere — consistent, factually accurate product and brand information here reduces the odds of a mismatch with what an AI-generated summary elsewhere says about you.

What Clients Say

Results our Instagram Ads clients have seen

What Clients Say

★★★★★

"Our creative always got great engagement but conversions lagged. Testing conversion-focused creative separately from our organic content changed that."

★★★★★

"Reels placement alone brought our cost per result down noticeably once we built creative actually native to the format."

★★★★★

"Product tagging done properly removed so much friction from our Instagram Shopping funnel."

FAQ

Common questions

They share the same ad infrastructure through Meta, so it's less either/or and more about testing which placements perform for your specific audience and offer.

Often worth testing — Reels placement typically has lower cost and growing reach, though creative needs to be genuinely native to the format rather than a repurposed static ad.

Significant — it removes friction from the discovery-to-purchase path, letting users buy directly from a tagged post or story without leaving the app.

Usually a mismatch between what earns engagement and what drives action — the fix is testing conversion-focused creative and messaging, not just what performs well organically.

You can, but placement-specific creative sizing and messaging typically outperforms a single generic ad running everywhere identically.
