Answer Engine Optimisation

Get your business cited in ChatGPT.

When someone asks ChatGPT for a recommendation in your space, will it mention you? Answer Engine Optimisation is how you make sure it can find, understand, and cite your site.

Why ChatGPT visibility is the new SEO

More buyers ask ChatGPT before they ask Google. But ChatGPT only cites sources it can fetch and parse cleanly. If your content is locked behind JavaScript, has no structured data, and answers nothing in plain question-and-answer form, you're invisible at the exact moment a buyer is deciding.

What ChatGPT's browsing actually rewards

Server-rendered HTML it can read without running scripts. Clear, structured answers to real questions. Schema markup that tells it what your business is. An llms.txt that points it at your best pages. A clean robots policy that allows its crawler. These are concrete, fixable signals, not a mystery.

How it works

  1. 1

    Audit

    Score your site on the signals ChatGPT's browsing and search rely on.

  2. 2

    Fix

    Generate the missing pieces: llms.txt, JSON-LD, FAQ schema, answer-first content.

  3. 3

    Monitor

    Re-scan over time and watch your readiness climb as the standards shift.

Frequently asked

Can I pay to appear in ChatGPT answers?+

Not for the cited, organic answers. You earn those by making your site readable, structured, and answer-first. That's what Answer Engine Optimisation does, and what the AI-Readiness Audit measures and fixes.

Does ChatGPT use my structured data?+

Clean structured data (Organization, FAQ, Product schema) helps any answer engine understand what your business is and answer about it accurately. It's one of the highest-leverage fixes.
