Answer Engine Optimisation
Ensure your content is cited by ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity with schema-first engineering.
From Search Results to The Definitive Answer
The era of "10 blue links" is ending. With nearly 65% of Google searches now ending without a click, users are shifting to Answer Engines like Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Claude to get direct answers, not a list of websites.
If your site is not technically optimised for these Large Language Models (LLMs), you are invisible. Traditional SEO gets you on the page; AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) makes you the cited source of truth.
TrueCMS AEO services rebuild your technical foundations so machines can read, understand, and trust your content.
What is AEO?
AEO is the engineering practice of structuring your content so AI models can easily ingest and verify it. Unlike SEO, which focuses on keywords and backlinks, AEO focuses on Structured Data, Citation Authority, and Information Gain.
- SEO: "Rank high on Google for 'best widgets'."
- AEO: "Be the single answer when a user asks, 'What are the best widgets and why?'"
Our Implementation Process
We do not just "write better content." We fundamentally change how your website speaks to machines.
Schema.org Injection
We implement deep, nested JSON-LD schema (FAQPage, HowTo, Article, Speakable) that explicitly tells LLMs "This is a fact," not just text.
Data-First HTML
We refactor your critical pages to be "machine-parsable first." Semantic HTML5, logical heading hierarchies, and data tables that LLMs can efficiently parse.
API and Feed Discovery
For data-heavy sites (GovCMS/Open Data), we expose clean JSON/CSV endpoints that search bots can digest without parsing heavy UI markup.
The 'Golden Record'
We create a single "source of truth" page for your brand entity, ensuring AI models do not hallucinate your phone number, pricing, or core mission.
The "Information Gain" Advantage
Modern search engines punish "copycat content." To win in the AI era, your content must provide Information Gain: new data, unique perspectives, or expert analysis that does not exist elsewhere.
We help you audit your content library to identify unique value propositions and restructure them into "answer-ready" snippets that Perplexity and Google AI Overviews prioritise.
Who This Is For
- Government Departments: Ensure citizens get accurate policy answers from AI chatbots.
- SaaS and Tech: Be the default answer for "Best tools for X" queries.
- Knowledge Bases: Turn your help centre into a machine-readable knowledge graph.
Pricing
AEO engagements typically start with a technical audit.
- AEO Technical Audit: $1,200 (One-time). Full review of Schema, semantic structure, and bot crawlability.
- Implementation Sprint: Variable. Remediation of technical debt and injection of advanced schema.
- Ongoing Tuning: As part of our existing Support Retainers.
