AEO Agency UK: Get Your Business Seen in AI Search
Cresvi is a UK marketing agency helping businesses get seen in the new world of AI search. If you have spent years building your SEO and now feel invisible on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Gemini, you are not alone. As a dedicated AEO Agency UK businesses are turning to right now, we help you show up where your customers are asking questions instead of typing keywords.
Improve Your Visibility Across AI Search
People no longer scroll through ten blue links to find what they need. They ask ChatGPT a question or read Google's AI Overview and often never click through to a website at all. This shift is quietly costing UK businesses customers. You might be ranking well in traditional search yet still facing:
- AI Search Invisibility: where your business simply never appears in AI-generated answers
- Zero Click Traffic Loss: where searchers get their answer without ever visiting your site
- Declining Organic Traffic: even though your rankings have not dropped
- Poor Brand Citations: where competitors get mentioned by AI tools and you do not
What Is Answer Engine Optimisation?
Answer Engine Optimisation is the practice of structuring and strengthening your website so AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Bing Copilot can understand your business, trust it, and recommend it as an answer.
Traditional SEO focuses on ranking pages in search results. AEO focuses on becoming the answer itself. That means paying close attention to content structure, topical authority, entity relationships, and the technical foundations that let AI systems read and trust your site properly.
Our AEO Services
Our AEO services are built around one goal. Making sure AI search engines understand, trust and recommend your business. Here is how we do it.
AI Visibility Audit
We start by measuring exactly where you stand. Our AI Visibility Audit reviews how often your business appears in AI-generated answers, tracks competitor citations, analyses brand mentions, and maps the target queries your customers are actually asking.
- AI visibility and mention analysis
- Competitor citation tracking
- Target-query analysis
- Brand visibility gaps
- AI search baseline
Content Optimisation & Structuring
We rework your content so it answers real questions directly. That means question-focused content, clear headings, concise answer formats, and a logical content hierarchy that AI tools can follow easily.
- Question-focused content
- Clear heading structures
- Concise answer formats
- Logical content hierarchy
- Entity-focused optimisation
Technical SEO & Structured Data
AI tools need to crawl and understand your site with ease. We handle the technical side, including crawlability, indexability, and internal linking, alongside a full Technical SEO Audit. We also implement Schema Markup and structured data.

- Internal linking optimisation
- Technical SEO audit

- Citation building
- Review and reputation signals

Who Needs AEO Services?
AEO is not right for every business at every stage, but if any of this sounds familiar, it is worth exploring. You might benefit from AEO if you:
- Search-Dependent Visibility: You depend on customers finding you through search, and that channel is where most of your growth still comes from.
- Declining Organic Traffic: Your traffic has been slipping even though your rankings have held steady, a sign something beyond traditional SEO is shifting.
- Limited AI Search Presence: You want greater visibility in AI-powered search but currently have little to none.
- Strong SEO, Weak AI Visibility: Your SEO foundations are solid, yet you are almost invisible in AI-generated answers.
- Poor Brand Citations: Competitors keep getting mentioned by AI tools while your business gets left out, even when your offering is just as strong.
Industries We Serve
Different industries are discovered through different questions, recommendations and search journeys. That’s why our AEO approach is tailored to how your customers search, what they need to know before choosing a business, and how AI search tools understand your industry.
Professional & Business Services
Legal, finance, consulting, marketing and recruitment businesses rely heavily on expertise and trust. We structure your content around the questions potential clients ask, helping AI search tools better understand your services, expertise and brand.
HVAC & Plumbing
HVAC and plumbing businesses need to appear when customers ask AI tools for local service recommendations. We structure your service content around common problems, urgent searches and service areas.
Dental
Dental practices need to be visible when potential patients use AI search to research treatments, symptoms and local providers. We build clear, patient-focused content that highlights your services, expertise and location.
Aesthetic Clinics
Aesthetic clinics compete for visibility across treatment-related searches where trust and expertise matter. We strengthen your treatment content, brand authority and entity signals so AI search tools can better understand your expertise.
Ecommerce
Ecommerce brands need AI search visibility that connects products with the right customer questions and buying journeys. We strengthen product content, site structure and entity signals so your brand and products are easily appear on AI research.
How Much Does AEO Cost?
There is no single answer to this, and honestly, any agency giving you a fixed number before understanding your business is guessing. AEO pricing depends on where you are starting from, how much content and technical work your website actually needs, how competitive your industry is and how many AI platforms you want to be visible across.
How Our AEO Process Works
Our process is straightforward and built around four clear stages.
1. Audit
We assess your current AI visibility, website content, technical SEO, competitors and existing citations to understand exactly where you stand today.
2. Identify Opportunities
We find the content gaps, technical issues, citation opportunities, entity inconsistencies and competitor visibility gaps that are quietly holding you back.
3. Build Your Strategy
We turn those findings into a clear AEO strategy, prioritising the content, technical, entity and authority improvements most likely to strengthen your AI search visibility.
4. Optimise
We implement content improvements, structured data, technical fixes, internal linking and authority-building work to close those gaps one by one.
5. Monitor & Refine
AI search moves quickly. We keep tracking your AI visibility, citations, mentions and organic performance against competitors and refine our approach as things change.
AEO Across Google, Gemini, ChatGPT & Bing Copilot
AI search is not one single platform. It is several, and each one works a little differently.
- PlatformKey Visibility Considerations
- Google AI OverviewsStrong SEO foundations, relevant content, clear answers and authoritative sources
- Google GeminiHigh-quality web information, Google ecosystem signals and relevant content
- ChatGPTClear brand information, authoritative content, third-party mentions and relevant sources
- Bing CopilotBing search visibility, crawlable content and authoritative web sources
We do not promise guaranteed inclusion or citations because no agency honestly can. What we do is make your business information useful, well-structured, relevant, and authoritative, giving you the best possible chance of being included. Along with AEO, you need to have a strong SEO foundation. At Cresvi, we also offer SEO services.

How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO focuses on ranking web pages. AEO focuses on becoming the answer itself within AI-powered search, and the two work alongside each other rather than replacing one another.
Can AEO help my business appear in ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews?
AEO significantly improves your chances by making your content clearer and more authoritative, though no agency can honestly guarantee inclusion in every AI-generated answer.
Do I need AEO if my business already invests in SEO?
Yes, strong SEO is a good foundation, but it does not automatically translate into AI search visibility, and that gap is exactly where AEO becomes essential.
Is AEO the same as GEO?
They are closely related but not identical. AEO focuses on becoming a direct answer within tools like Google AI Overviews and voice assistants, while GEO focuses more specifically on being mentioned, cited or recommended inside generative AI conversations like ChatGPT and Gemini.
How long does AEO take to show results?
Most businesses start seeing early movement in citations and AI visibility within a few months, though this depends on your existing SEO foundations, your industry and how competitive your target queries are. AEO tends to build steadily rather than producing an overnight change.
Is AEO worth it for small businesses?
It can be, particularly if your customers already search online before buying and your competitors are starting to appear in AI-generated answers. AEO does not require a huge budget to begin.
How do I measure AEO success?
The clearest signals are how often your business appears in AI-generated answers, whether you are being cited or mentioned by name, and whether AI-referred visitors are turning into enquiries.
Do I need a new website for AEO to work?
No, not usually. Most AEO improvements involve restructuring existing content, strengthening technical foundations and adding structured data, rather than rebuilding a site from scratch.
