Question 1

What is AEO and why does it matter now?

Accepted Answer

Answer Engine Optimization is the practice of structuring your brand so AI models recommend you when buyers ask for solutions in your category. Traditional search puts you on a results page, while AI search gives the buyer a direct answer where your brand is either named or it is not.

Question 2

How is Windgrove different from an SEO agency?

Accepted Answer

SEO gets you ranked on Google, while AEO gets you recommended by AI. Windgrove targets the three inputs that determine whether an AI recommends you: structured content, entity consistency, and citation authority.

Question 3

How long does it take to see results?

Accepted Answer

First AI citations typically appear within 45 to 60 days, sometimes earlier. Broader category terms take 1 to 3 months as authority compounds with ongoing content, fresh citations, and stronger entity signals.

Question 4

What AI platforms does Windgrove optimize for?

Accepted Answer

Windgrove focuses on improving visibility in major answer engines and AI assistants, including ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, by improving the structured content and citation signals those systems rely on.
