An AEO agency that measures what AI says about you
An AEO agency (answer engine optimization) gets your brand named and cited in the answers ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini give your buyers. Kadima measures where you stand on each engine, fixes what stops them quoting you, and reports the change every month.
We measure both being cited and being named, because they are not the same thing. We track the questions your buyers ask AI and re-check every answer daily, so a slip shows up within a day. Most of the fixes are unglamorous: entity facts that match everywhere, pages that answer the question in the first paragraph, crawlers that are allowed in, and mentions on the sites engines already trust.
AEO sits on top of technical SEO, so we run both under one retainer and one team.
Ask Google about their courses. Its AI answer points to them.

Four things decide whether AI quotes you
Engines pick sources they can reach, read, trust and lift a clean answer from. Our work covers all four.
Entity clarity
Your name, services, locations and team described the same way on your site, in your schema and across directories, so models describe you correctly.
Clear answers
Key pages rewritten answer-first: a direct answer in the opening lines, then the detail and proof. The format engines lift into replies.
AI crawler access
GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot and Google-Extended checked in robots.txt and at your CDN, plus llms.txt and schema.
Trusted mentions
Your brand placed on the review sites, directories and publications that AI engines already cite for your category.
Why AI names your competitors instead
These are the eight gaps we check first. Each one gives an engine a reason to quote someone else, and most are fixed in the first six weeks.
- AI answers name competitors, not you
- AI describes your business wrongly
- AI crawlers blocked in robots.txt or the CDN
- No Organization or Service schema
- Answers buried halfway down the page
- Brand facts that differ across the web
- Few mentions on sites engines cite
- No baseline, so progress is a guess

AEO agency FAQs
Straight answers on cost, timing and what AEO changes.
What does an AEO agency do?
An AEO agency gets your brand named and cited in the answers that ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini give your buyers. Kadima measures a baseline across those four engines, fixes the entity, schema, crawler and content gaps that stop models quoting you, then reports citations and named mentions every month.
Is AEO different from SEO?
AEO builds on SEO rather than replacing it. Engines still find pages through crawling and indexing, so technical SEO stays the foundation. AEO adds the work that decides whether an engine quotes you once it finds you: consistent entity facts, answer-first pages, structured data and mentions on sites the engines trust.
How long does AEO take to work?
Crawler and schema fixes are picked up within weeks. Movement in citations usually shows in month two or three, depending on how much authority the site already has. The baseline in month one means the change is measured, not guessed.
How much does an AEO agency cost?
At Kadima the AEO audit is $495 one-off, credited to your first month if a retainer follows. Ongoing AEO runs inside the SEO + AEO retainer from $1,900 a month, with a 3-month minimum and then month to month.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will recommend us?
No one can guarantee what a model says. What we can do is improve the inputs engines use to choose sources, then measure the result for each engine against your competitors every month.
