AEO vs traditional SEO vs doing nothing
They are not the same strategy, and doing nothing is no longer neutral — it means your competitors are getting cited instead of you.

Common questions about AEO
How long does it take to appear in AI search results?
Perplexity citations typically appear within 30 to 60 days of properly implemented AEO. ChatGPT follows at 6 to 10 weeks. Google AI Overviews take 8 to 16 weeks. Full visibility across all major AI engines typically takes 3 to 4 months.
What is the difference between AEO and SEO?
SEO gets your website onto Google's results page. AEO gets your brand cited inside the AI-generated answer that appears before those results. A site can rank number one on Google and still be completely invisible in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
Can I do AEO myself?
Yes, you can do the basics yourself — fix your robots.txt to allow AI crawlers, add FAQ schema to your top pages, and submit to Bing Webmaster Tools. These three steps take about two hours. An agency adds ongoing content production, community seeding, and monthly citation monitoring.
