## What is Agentic Engine Optimization?

Agentic Engine Optimization (AEO) — also called AI Search Optimization or Answer Engine Optimization — is the discipline of structuring a business's digital presence so AI assistants surface that business when users ask conversational questions about local services.

Where traditional SEO optimized for keyword-matching search engines, AEO optimizes for entity-understanding AI models:

1. **Search behavior has migrated.** Users ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude, and Apple Intelligence for recommendations.
2. **AI engines synthesize, they don't link.** If a business isn't named in the synthesized answer, it's effectively invisible.
3. **Authority signals differ from PageRank.** AI engines weight structured data, entity consistency, citation networks, and llms.txt declarations more heavily than backlink counts.

## How PromoteYou.ai Delivers AEO

### Layer 1 — AI Visibility Auditing

Free instant audit at https://promoteyou.ai/audit returns a 0–100 AI Visibility Score across six dimensions:

- Schema Markup
- Conversational Content
- Entity Authority
- Content Structure
- Recency Signals
- E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness)

Runs in under 60 seconds with no signup required.

### Layer 2 — Schema Markup & Structured Data

We deploy structured data types AI engines actively parse:

- LocalBusiness (NAICS-aligned subtype)
- Service (one entry per offering)
- FAQPage (conversational Q&A pairs)
- Organization (sameAs links to verified profiles)
- Review and AggregateRating
- BreadcrumbList
- WebSite with SearchAction

We also deploy robots.txt, llms.txt, and llms-full.txt — the standard trio for AI discovery and crawl access.

### Layer 3 — Citation Authority Building

- Consistent NAP across canonical citation directories
- Reviews on platforms AI engines crawl (Google, Yelp, BBB, industry directories)
