Structured data
Schema.org is the language for telling a machine who you are, what you do, and where you are, without ambiguity. We write it complete and by hand for every page: the business, the services, the FAQs, the breadcrumbs.

[ service ] AEO · The new layer
Make the AI cite you.
AEO means Answer Engine Optimization. It's preparing your site so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google's automatic answer can read you, understand you, and cite you as the source. More and more people ask instead of searching; AEO decides whether that answer carries your name or your competitor's.
[01] How it's built
Three pieces working together.
Doors open to AI
An llms.txt file that summarizes your site for assistants, and a robots.txt that explicitly welcomes their crawlers: GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended. If you want to be cited, first they have to be able to read you.
llms.txtCitable answers
AIs cite clean answers, not walls of text. So each page answers one concrete question, with a clear title and direct content. It's our doors-not-walls architecture, applied to the answer layer.
Doors, not walls
[ + ] Freshness matters
These systems tend to cite what was updated recently. A site that sits still loses ground on its own, even if it's well built. That's why AEO isn't a one-time job: it's sustained with ongoing maintenance that keeps your data alive and your site citable month after month.
[02] Why now
An advantage almost nobody is using yet.
Many agencies still think only in keywords, and that's fine: that world still exists. But the shift has already started, and the businesses that structure themselves to be cited first will be years ahead when it becomes the norm. We practice what we sell: this very site is built with full AEO, and you can verify it by asking any assistant about Index01.
[03] Questions about this service
What people usually ask about AEO.
What is AEO?
Answer Engine Optimization: preparing your site so AI assistants and Google's automatic answer can read it, understand it, and cite it as a source when someone asks about a service or a business like yours.
How is it different from SEO?
SEO works to get you into a list so someone picks you. AEO works to make you the single answer the assistant delivers, with your name as the source. They share foundations; AEO adds structured data, llms.txt, and citable content.
How do you get cited?
Structured data that removes ambiguity, pages that answer concrete questions, and constant freshness. There's no trick or shortcut: it's building the site in the language machines understand and keeping it alive.
