AZ Coatings is a roofer that works in several states and uses polyurea coatings. Our April 8 to May 18, 2026 work led to ChatGPT links, a 5.0 map result, and links in Gemini answers. A February 2026 project for a real estate broker led to top ChatGPT results in 4 weeks. We keep that client's name private.
ViewFAQ
What does an AEO team do?
We help AI tools read your site and learn about your business. We improve your pages, code, and facts across the web. Much of this also helps SEO. We add checks for how AI reads and links to your pages.
How is this different from SEO?
Both need useful content, accessible pages, and credible sources. AEO adds structured data, AI-readable files, and tracking of brand mentions and citations.
Do you only work with NYC businesses?
No. We are based in New York and work with businesses anywhere. A local restaurant needs facts about its area. A software brand may serve buyers in many places.
How can I see if AI names competitors?
Ask ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity for the best business in your field and area. Check which brands it names. Our free site check shows what may make your page hard to read.
What's the first step?
Run the free site check. It takes a few seconds. Then we can talk about what to fix first.
