What is AEOstart?

AEOstart helps businesses improve their visibility in AI-generated answers and citations. As AI systems like ChatGPT, Google's AI overviews, and other large language models increasingly provide direct answers to user queries, brands risk being overlooked if they're not included in those responses. AEOstart addresses this by helping you understand how to structure your content and optimise your online presence so AI systems are more likely to cite your brand when generating answers. The tool is designed for marketing teams, content creators, and business owners who want to stay visible now that traditional search results are being supplemented by AI-generated summaries. Rather than competing only in search rankings, AEOstart helps you earn mentions directly within AI responses, which can drive traffic and establish authority.
