What methodology does AEOForged use?
Direct answer: every page is scored eight separate times — once per citability signal — then combined into a 0–100 index that approximates how quotable your content is to AI answer engines.
AEOForged uses that 8-dimension algorithmic model for audits and deliverables. The methodology is grounded in Google's structured data documentation, E-E-A-T quality guidelines, and analysis of how ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews select and cite sources. Founded by Ryan Kings in Stratford-upon-Avon, UK, in 2026.

Frequently asked questions about AEO services
Common questions about answer engine optimization services, pricing, and how AEOForged works.
What is the difference between AEO and SEO?
SEO (search engine optimization) focuses on ranking in traditional search result links. AEO (answer engine optimization) focuses on getting your content cited directly by AI-powered answer engines like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity. AEO requires structured content, verified claims, and schema markup (see Google's structured data documentation) that AI models can extract — traditional keyword-density tactics are not enough.

How do you measure whether AEO is working?
Every deliverable includes before-and-after AEO scores across 8 dimensions — structure, direct answers, JSON-LD schema, entity coverage, E-E-A-T (experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness per Google's quality guidelines), recency, readability, and extractability. We also track whether your content is being cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude through ongoing citation monitoring.
Answer last updated
Can I use AEOForged alongside my existing SEO strategy?
Yes. AEO and SEO are complementary. Well-structured content that scores highly for AEO also tends to perform well in traditional search. AEOForged adds JSON-LD schema markup, entity coverage, and extractability signals that AI engines specifically look for — none of which conflict with existing SEO work.
Answer last updated
What industries does AEOForged work with?
AEOForged works with any business that publishes content online — SaaS, professional services, e-commerce, agencies, and publishers. The 8-dimension scoring system is industry-agnostic; the research and strategy are tailored to your specific sector and competitors.
Answer last updated
What makes AEO scoring different from tools like Semrush or Ahrefs?
Traditional tools like Semrush and Ahrefs focus on backlinks and keyword rankings for search engine results pages. AEOForged scores content specifically for AI answer engine citability — measuring how extractable and citable your content is by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude, using 8 dimensions purpose-built for the AI citation pipeline.
