These are the questions we get before a first call on this scope, answered here so you do not have to ask them. Where the honest answer is that the full programme suits you better, that is the answer we have given.
What Does a MarTech AEO Agency Do That Our SEO Agency Does Not?+
It measures and fixes one thing they do not report on: whether an answer engine can quote your pages, and which competitor it quotes instead.
Your SEO agency optimises for a position on a results page. This scope optimises for being lifted into an answer where no results page appears.
The two are complementary, and we report separately so neither of us can claim the other’s win.
Which Category Label Do You Optimise For?+
The one assistants already use, which is frequently not the one in your positioning deck. We measure coverage across every competing label first.
That baseline settles an argument that otherwise runs on opinion for months.
Chasing a label the engines have not adopted is the most expensive mistake available in this vertical.
Will This Work if Our Rankings Are Weak?+
Less well, and we will tell you on the first call rather than after three months. A page an engine cannot find will never be quoted.
If your baseline shows crawl or authority problems, this narrow scope is the wrong buy for you.
We point you at the full programme instead, which is a bigger number and a slower start.
Do You Rewrite Our Whole Site?+
No. Usually fifty pages or so, chosen by the frozen prompt set rather than by traffic, plus the templates behind them.
Everything else stays exactly as your current agency left it.
A narrow, named page list is also what makes the before-and-after scoring meaningful rather than decorative.
How Do You Prove This Worked?+
Same prompt set, same engines, same competitors, same scoring version, month over month. Plus a citability score per URL, before and after.
If everyone in your category rose together, we report that as a model update rather than as our result.
That distinction is the whole reason the baseline is frozen and signed before any work starts.
What Is Explicitly Not Included?+
Rankings work, link building for authority, and deep technical SEO beyond the render and robots check.
Those stay with whoever owns them today, and we put that in writing in the scope document.
Naming the exclusions is what keeps this layer affordable, and it is also how you can tell whether an AEO quote is honest.
