Answer Engine Optimisation is the backbone of visibility in the AI era. It’s the discipline that ensures your brand is the answer customers see when they ask a question. We don’t just optimise for AEO, we lead it, making sure generative engines like Google’s AI Overviews and ChatGPT surface your brand with authority.
As the UK’s leading AEO agency, our toolkit combines the Everysearch™ methodology with our AI-powered platform, Luminr.

With Found, your brand is discoverable, credible and competitive where it matters most.
At Found, we recognise that Answer Engine Optimisation isn’t just the next phase of SEO. It’s the new foundation of brand visibility in an AI-shaped world. As platforms like Google’s AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity become the first stop for discovery, customers are getting their answers directly from AI, and if your brand isn’t showing up, someone else’s will.

Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) is the strategic process of optimising your digital presence for AI-powered search platforms and answer engines. Unlike traditional SEO that focuses on ranking in search results, AEO optimises your content to be featured directly in AI-generated answers, summaries, and overviews. This includes platforms like ChatGPT, Google’s AI Overviews, Perplexity, and other emerging AI search tools where users get immediate answers rather than clicking through to websites. AEO ensures your brand becomes the authoritative source that AI engines reference when answering user queries.
While traditional SEO optimises for ranking in search engine results pages (SERPs), AEO optimises for appearing directly in AI-generated answers and summaries. SEO focuses on driving clicks to your website, whereas AEO ensures your brand information is featured in the answer itself, often eliminating the need for users to visit multiple sites. AEO requires different strategies including conversational content formatting, enhanced E-E-A-T signals, structured data optimisation, and multi-platform presence across AI search tools. Think of AEO as evolution beyond traditional SEO – optimising for how people actually find answers in the AI era.
Google AI Overviews are AI-generated summaries that appear at the top of search results, providing comprehensive answers to user queries by synthesising information from multiple sources. These overviews use Google’s AI technology to create detailed, conversational responses that often satisfy user intent without requiring clicks to individual websites. They appear for informational queries and feature cited sources, making them prime real estate for brand visibility. Getting featured in AI Overviews requires specific optimisation strategies including structured content, authoritative sourcing, and clear answer formatting that AI systems can easily understand and reference.
Ranking in Google’s AI Overviews requires a strategic approach combining technical optimisation with authoritative content creation. Focus on creating comprehensive, well-structured content that directly answers specific questions in your industry. Implement advanced schema markup, optimise for E-E-A-T signals, and ensure your content uses clear headings and bullet points that AI can easily parse. Build topical authority through interconnected content clusters and earn high-quality backlinks from authoritative sources. Regular content updates, fact-checking, and citation of credible sources also increase your chances of being selected as a reliable source for AI-generated summaries.
