01 · Overview
When someone asks ChatGPT for the best dentist near them, it gives one or two names. AEO is how you become one of those names. More people now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google's AI instead of scrolling through search results, and those tools only mention a handful of businesses. We build AEO into every site we make, and we can check your current site for $499.
02 · What's Included
AI search optimization, in practice
Curated llms.txt
A plain text file AI tools read first to understand your business. We write yours by hand, not with a generator.
Full Schema.org Markup
LocalBusiness, Service, Offer, FAQPage and Review markup on every relevant page, so the facts about you are machine readable.
Explicit AI Bot Access
GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and Google-Extended are allowed in robots.txt. Most sites block them by accident.
FAQ Blocks for Citation
Questions and answers written the way AI tools like to quote them. Direct answers, no fluff, properly marked up.
Entity Disambiguation
Links to your Google Business Profile, LinkedIn and socials that prove you are the real business, not a competitor with a similar name.
Comparison Content
Side by side comparisons that AI tools cite when someone asks "X vs Y" or "best X in [city]".

What is AEO?
AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is the practice of structuring website content so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can find, understand, and cite it. It is the next evolution of SEO for the AI search era.
-
Is AEO different from SEO?
SEO is for traditional Google search results. AEO is for AI-generated answers. They share fundamentals (good content, clear structure), but AEO requires specific elements traditional SEO does not address: llms.txt, comprehensive Schema.org markup, explicit AI bot allows, and citation-formatted content blocks.
-
How can I tell if my current website is AEO-ready?
Quick test: open ChatGPT and ask "What does [your business name] do?" If the answer is generic, missing, or wrong, you are not AEO-ready. The fuller version is our $499 AEO Audit, which scores your site against 25 specific AEO criteria.
-
Can I get AEO built into a new website?
Yes. Every website we build includes AEO at no extra cost: a hand written llms.txt, full schema markup, AI crawlers allowed in robots.txt and FAQ blocks written for citation. Sites start at $499 for Launch (1 to 3 pages), $1,499 for Grow (5 to 7 pages) and $5,000 to $10,000 for Bespoke.
-
Do you offer AEO across Canada?
Yes. We are based in Edmonton, Alberta and work with businesses anywhere in Canada. AEO is done remotely: the first conversation is a video call, the audit is run on your live site and fixes are handled by email. Prices are in Canadian dollars and the same in every province.
-
What makes OnePoint's AEO different from other agencies?
Most agencies sell AEO as a separate service. We build it into every website we deliver. llms.txt, full Schema.org markup, AI bot access and citation-ready FAQ blocks come standard, not as an upsell. We also publish our AEO method and offer a $499 audit anyone can buy.
