Great question! Think of it this way: SEO gets you on page one of Google where you're competing with 10+ other businesses for attention. AEO gets you recommended as THE answer by ChatGPT, Google AI, and Copilot—where you're often the ONLY business mentioned. Here's the key difference: 60% of Google searches never click a link anymore because AI gives the answer right there. And 25% of people skip Google entirely and go straight to AI platforms. If you're only doing SEO, you're missing the fastest-growing segment of search traffic. The good news? AEO and SEO work together perfectly. We strengthen your Google rankings while making you the business AI recommends. You win everywhere customers are looking.

Most of our clients start seeing measurable AI visibility within 60-90 days, with significant traffic growth by month 4. But here's what makes AEO different from other marketing: the results compound over time. Month 1 might bring a 50% increase in AI-driven traffic. Month 3 might be 200%. Month 6 could be 500%+. Why? Because once AI platforms identify you as an authority, they keep recommending you more and more. It's like a snowball rolling downhill—it starts small but builds unstoppable momentum. The sooner you start, the bigger your advantage becomes. Businesses that started with us 6 months ago now have leads their competitors literally can't catch for years.

Actually, it's the opposite. AEO isn't a fad—it's the evolution of how people search, and it's permanent. Think about it: When's the last time you asked a question to an actual search engine versus asking ChatGPT or Google AI? Exactly. This shift is as fundamental as when Google replaced the Yellow Pages. 25% of all searches already happen on AI platforms, and that number grows every month. Major companies like Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI are investing billions into AI search because they know it's the future. The "fad" was thinking traditional search would stay the same forever. The businesses treating AEO as a fad will be the ones scrambling to catch up in 12 months while early adopters dominate their markets.

Perfect! That means you already understand the value of search visibility. Here's the reality: most SEO companies are still focused exclusively on Google rankings and have no idea how to optimize for AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google AI. They're experts at yesterday's search—we're experts at today's and tomorrow's. You have three options: 1) Keep your current SEO company and add us for AEO (they complement each other perfectly), 2) Switch to us and get both SEO and AEO handled together with better results, or 3) Wait and watch your competitors get recommended by AI while you stay invisible. On our free strategy call, we'll show you exactly where you currently rank in AI search (spoiler: probably nowhere) and what's possible when you optimize for both. No pressure—just clarity on what you're missing.

Our local business package starts at $1,200/month, and national/multi-location businesses have custom pricing based on scope. Now here's why that's actually cheap: Our average client sees 920% growth in AI-driven traffic within 4 months. Let's do simple math: If just ONE additional customer per month comes from AI recommendations, what's that worth to your business? If you're a plumber, that might be $2,500. A lawyer? Could be $10,000+. An ecommerce brand? Potentially $50,000+ in lifetime value. Most of our clients see 5-20+ new customers monthly from AI visibility within 90 days. That's not a cost—it's the highest-ROI investment you can make. Plus, unlike ads that stop when you stop paying, AEO builds permanent authority that compounds month after month. Book a strategy call and we'll calculate your specific ROI potential based on your business model.

Here's the honest answer: No one can "guarantee" specific AI placements because AI algorithms are constantly evolving—just like no honest SEO company can guarantee #1 Google rankings. However, what we CAN guarantee is this: We'll implement every proven strategy that gets businesses recommended by AI platforms, we'll track your visibility across ChatGPT, Google AI, Perplexity, and others, and we'll show you measurable progress every month. Our track record speaks for itself: 50+ clients with an average of 920% AI traffic growth. We're so confident in our system that we work month-to-month with no long-term contracts. If we're not delivering results, you can leave anytime. But here's what we know: businesses that don't optimize for AI search are guaranteed to stay invisible. The only real risk is doing nothing while your competitors build unstoppable advantages.

They will. That's exactly why you need to move NOW. Here's how AI authority works: The first businesses AI platforms identify as authorities in a category get recommended more frequently, which builds more authority, which leads to more recommendations—it's a compounding advantage that's nearly impossible to overcome once established. Think about Google SEO: The businesses that invested early built empires. The ones who waited spent years (and 10x the money) trying to catch up. AEO is following the same pattern, except it's happening faster. Right now, you can claim authority in your market while most competitors don't even know AEO exists. In 6-12 months, everyone will be fighting for the same visibility you could own today. The businesses that start now will be the ones AI recommends by default. The ones who wait will be asking "How do we compete with them?" Book your strategy call and let's secure your position before your competitors do.

Fair question. Here's the truth: You COULD try to do AEO yourself. You could spend hundreds of hours learning how AI platforms evaluate authority, which schema markup they prioritize, how to structure content for AI comprehension, which platforms to build signals on, and how to track AI visibility. Or you could hire someone cheaper who's learning as they go, experimenting with your business as their test case. Here's what you get with AEOBoostAI: We've already done the learning, testing, and optimizing. We've generated 920% average AI traffic growth across 50+ businesses. We're led by Rob Herget, who built his reputation on performance-based SEO before AEO even existed. We work month-to-month (no long-term contracts) because we earn your business with results, not paperwork. And most importantly: every month you spend "figuring it out" is another month your competitors build advantages you'll spend years trying to overcome. Book a free strategy call. We'll show you exactly where you stand, what's possible, and whether we're the right fit. No obligation, no pressure—just clarity.
