Buyer Guide
How to choose an NYC AEO team
Look for clear skills, real proof, and honest limits.
What to Check
Can they explain the site work clearly?
Ask how they handle structured data, consistent business details, and AI-readable files. They should track bot traffic, AI referrals, and citations across tools. Answers vary between runs, and no tool sees every answer a user receives. Technical fixes are one part of the service.
Do they build on SEO?
AEO and SEO both need useful content, a clear site, and proof people can trust.
Can they show their work?
Look for public tools or a clear written method. These give you something to check beyond sales claims.
Do they know NYC buyers?
Local trust and the many brands in NYC shape buyer questions.
Red Flags
- They use big terms but cannot say what they would change on your site.
- They claim to have a secret formula for AI ranks.
- They promise a set rank by a set date. AI answers can change as models change. A good team gives honest ranges, improves the site, and tracks real results.
- They show no completed work, clear guides, or repeatable process.
- They talk only about ChatGPT and ignore other AI tools and sources.
