AEO. GET CITED IN
CHATGPT AND GOOGLE AI.
AEO, or Answer Engine Optimisation, is the work of getting your business named inside AI answers in ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Copilot. IBIX is an AEO agency in Grimsby working UK-wide, with a fixed price in writing before any work starts.

The answer is generated for the user by Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity, and only a handful of businesses get cited in it. If your business isn't optimised for how these engines read the web, they recommend somebody else. AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) is the work of fixing that. You get a clear fixed price in writing before any work starts.
How We Get You Cited
Four parts. The last one tells you whether the first three worked.
Pages Written To Be Quoted
We restructure your pages into the question-and-answer layout AI tools quote from, so your expertise is easy to lift and quote.
Structured Data & Schema
Hidden labels in your site's code (schema) tell AI tools who you are, what you do and where you work.
Consistent Everywhere
AI tools trust businesses whose details match across the web. We tidy your Google profile, reviews and directory listings so they all agree.
Tracking And Adjusting
We monitor how often you surface in AI answers and traditional search, then adjust. It carries on month to month, because the answers keep changing.
53 Citations
In Six Months
When someone asks an AI "who's the best removals company in Grimsby?" or "find me an SEO agency in Lincolnshire," it doesn't show ten links. It recommends a few businesses by name.
Microsoft's Copilot and its partners cited this website 53 times in the six months to July 2026, counted in Bing's own Webmaster Tools, while the site was still sitting around page five of Google. AI answers do not simply copy the rankings, which is why we treat them as a separate job.
Built on how search actually works
Our founder grew a YouTube channel to 629,000 subscribers by understanding how algorithms surface and recommend content, the same thinking that drives AEO.
We cap the number of clients we take on, so the audit and the work stay with the same person.
Asked About AEO
What is AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation)?
AEO is the practice of optimising your business so AI answer engines (Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and similar) understand, trust and cite you when they answer a question. Traditional SEO gets you ranked in a list of blue links; AEO gets you named in the AI's answer itself.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO optimises for ranking in the classic list of search results. AEO optimises for being the source an AI engine quotes when it generates a direct answer. They overlap, because clean content, structured data and a well-managed Google Business Profile help both, but AEO focuses on clear pages, consistent details and mentions on other trusted sites so AI systems can reference your business with confidence.
Can you get my business into Google's AI Overviews and ChatGPT?
There's no paid placement in AI answers; visibility is earned. We structure your content, schema markup and Google Business Profile so AI tools can read and trust your business, build up the mentions they look for, and track how often you appear. It's an ongoing discipline, not a one-time switch.
Does this work for local businesses in Grimsby and Lincolnshire?
It works the same way for a Grimsby trade as for a national brand. When someone asks an AI "who's the best removals company in Grimsby?" or "find me an SEO agency in Lincolnshire," the AI names specific businesses. Nobody can promise it will name yours. The work is making sure it has a clear, consistent picture of your business to draw on.
