AEO / GEO — Answer Engine Optimization

Your next customer isn't Googling. They're asking.

Millions of people now ask ChatGPT, Siri and Google's AI to recommend a plumber, a roofer, a landscaper. The AI gives ONE short answer. This page shows you how to be in it.

Ask The AI

What does the AI actually say about your trade?

Pick a trade and a city. Watch a realistic AI assistant answer — then see who got left out, and why.

Simulation
"Who's the best plumber in Charlotte?"

Pick a trade and city, then hit "Ask".

AI answer shown is a simulation for education — real AI results vary by market, but the factors above are what move them.

How AI Picks Its Answer

Four signals. Every Rally site ships with all four.

01

It reads structure, not vibes

Schema markup tells AI exactly who you are, what you do, and where you work.

02

It trusts proof

Review signals and consistent business data make you citable, not just visible.

03

It quotes answer-ready pages

Clear, direct service pages get cited. Brochure fluff doesn't make the answer.

04

It rewards speed and mobile

Same factors as Google, turned up to eleven. Slow sites get skipped.

Every Rally Media site ships with all four. It's not an add-on. It's the build.
