# SEO vs AEO: how do you get found on Google and in AI answers?

Updated 11 September 2026 · Prices from our current rate card

The short answer

SEO gets your pages ranked in Google’s list of results. AEO — answer engine optimization — gets your business named inside the answer itself: Google’s AI Overviews and assistants like ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity. They share a foundation, so most businesses need both. Our SEO plans start from ₹5,000 (about $120) per month and AEO from ₹6,500 (about $150) per month.

## What SEO covers

Search engine optimization makes sure the right pages can be found, understood and chosen:

- Technical health — pages that load fast, can be crawled and are in the index
- On-page work — titles, descriptions, headings and content that match what people search
- Local SEO — a complete Google Business Profile and consistent details everywhere
- Links and mentions from other trusted sites

## What AEO adds

AI assistants answer questions directly, so they favour sources that are clear, consistent and easy to quote:

- Structured data (schema.org) that states who you are, what you offer and where
- Answer-ready content — direct answers to the questions your customers ask
- The same business name, services and contact details on every site that mentions you
- Files for AI crawlers, such as llms.txt and Markdown versions of your pages
- Tracking whether assistants mention you, and for which questions

## A checklist you can start today

- Claim and complete your Google Business Profile
- Add your site to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, and submit your sitemap
- Give every service its own page, with a clear title and a real answer
- Publish your prices, or at least a starting price
- Ask happy clients for reviews
- Make sure your robots.txt doesn’t block the AI crawlers you want to be read by

## Questions people also ask

**Does AEO replace SEO?**

No. AI answers draw on pages that search engines can already find and trust, so AEO builds on good SEO.

**How long does SEO take to work?**

Technical fixes can show within weeks; rankings for competitive searches usually build over several months of steady work.

**Can you get my business into ChatGPT answers?**

No one can guarantee it, but clear, consistent and well-structured information makes it far more likely, and we track where you appear.
