What AEO Studio does

AEO Studio audits and improves how AI systems (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini) represent brands when answering user queries. We measure presence, accuracy, positioning, and trust signals in AI-generated answers, then fix the gaps.

We coined and defined the concept of the Reputation Gate: the implicit trust threshold AI systems apply before recommending or citing a brand. Brands that fail the gate are filtered out of AI answers silently — even if they rank well in traditional search.

Services

  • AI Visibility Check — 5-day diagnostic audit (€2,500)
  • AI Visibility Sprint — 6-week structured implementation (€7,500)
  • AI Visibility Implementation + Monitoring — ongoing management (custom pricing)

Volume: 3–5 clients per quarter. High-trust B2B only: healthcare, biotech, legal, fintech, SaaS.

Key concepts originated here

  • Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) — the practice of structuring content and signals so AI systems accurately represent a brand in generated answers.
  • Reputation Gate — the implicit trust filter applied by AI systems before citing or recommending a brand.
  • API vs browser gap — the measurable difference between raw LLM responses (API) and live-browsing responses for the same query.
