Is AEO replacing traditional SEO, or do I need both?

They serve different goals. SEO is about winning the click to your website from a list of links. AEO is about winning the mention inside an AI-generated answer. In 2026, you need a hybrid strategy: SEO to build your domain’s authority, and AEO to ensure that when an AI tool like Gemini or ChatGPT synthesizes an answer, it cites your brand as the expert source.

How do you measure success in AEO if there are fewer clicks?

We shift from tracking 'Blue Link Rankings' to 'Share of Model' and 'Citation Frequency.' Using tools like Cairrot or Semrush AI Visibility, we track how often your brand is cited across major LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) and the sentiment of those answers.

What tools and processes does TEDIX use for AEO?

Our process involves three core pillars: 1. Entity Engineering (using Schema.org and Wikidata), 2. Chunking & Formatting (restructuring content into machine-readable atomic units), and 3. Model Monitoring (auditing how AI models perceive your expertise).

Why choose an AEO specialist like TEDIX over a standard SEO agency?

Most SEO agencies focus on keyword volume and backlinks. TEDIX focuses on Semantic Relevance and Information Density. We understand the underlying architecture of Large Language Models (LLMs), optimizing for an AI’s training and retrieval patterns.

Using tools like Cairrot or Semrush AI Visibility, we track how often your brand is cited across major LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity) and the sentiment of those answers. AEO success is measured by your brand becoming the "default recommendation" in conversational search.

Our process involves three core pillars: 1. Entity Engineering: We use Schema.org and Wikidata to define your brand as a verifiable "Entity" that AI models can trust. 2. Chunking & Formatting: We restructure your high-value content into "machine-readable chunks" that AI bots can easily extract. 3. Model Monitoring: We use specialized trackers to audit how different AI models perceive your expertise compared to your competitors.

Most SEO agencies focus on keyword volume and backlinks. TEDIX focuses on Semantic Relevance and Information Density. We understand the underlying architecture of Large Language Models (LLMs), meaning we don't just optimise for a search engine’s crawler; we optimize for an AI’s training and retrieval patterns.

AEO & SEARCH STRATEGY

Control your AI narrative

Brand first point of view

Introduction

Digital transformation has reached a tipping point. When buyers ask AI about your industry, they receive a synthesised answer—not a list of links. If you aren't optimised for Large Language Models (LLMs), the AI will rewrite your brand narrative, describe you generically, or omit you entirely.

At TEDIX, we help you navigate the transition from Search to Answers. We move beyond simply "trying to rank" to architecting your data for both human buyers and autonomous AI agents, ensuring you control the consensus when AI speaks on your behalf.

Audits

Key Benefits

Answer Engine Authority (AEO)

AEO is the evolution of SEO, not a revolution. While SEO builds broad domain authority, AEO targets hyper-specific, conversational queries that now average 23 to 60 words. We optimise your digital presence so that when an LLM synthesises an answer, your brand is the definitive source.

Strategic "Atomic" Content Architecture

LLMs are "lazy readers"—they penalise filler. We help you restructure your content into "Atomic Units." By placing the answer first and breaking massive walls of text into structured, single-topic paragraphs, we make it significantly easier for AI to parse, extract, and cite your information.

Multimodal Citation Dominance

AI search is natively multimodal. As citations from YouTube and visual assets in AI Overviews surge, your search strategy can no longer rely on text alone. We integrate your video and 3D assets into the search pipeline to capture the "visual real estate" that traditional text-based SEO misses.

Agentic Paths & WebMCP Integration

The web is shifting from passive answers to active task execution. We prepare your infrastructure for the upcoming WebMCP standard, exposing "agent-specific paths" that allow autonomous AI to seamlessly complete transactions or bookings on your customers' behalf, bypassing traditional UI friction.

Let's start with your seo, aeo & geo audits engagement.

We look at what you have, agree what the first piece should be, and you leave with a scope and blueprint..

LET'S CHAT 

THE FACTS

The 98% Foundation

We don't abandon legacy SEO, we leverage it. Data shows that in 98% of cases, Google’s AI Overviews cite at least one URL from the Top 100 organic search results. We ensure your SEO foundation is strong enough to support your AI visibility.

Proprietary IA Analyser for Strapi

We move beyond manual audits with our exclusive Strapi IA Analyzer. This proprietary plugin provides real-time, prescriptive recommendations directly within your CMS environment. By identifying architectural friction and AEO gaps as you create content, we ensure every page is "Agentic-Ready" before it ever hits the live environment.

Bridging the 88% Schema Gap

Schema markup is the "code translator" for AI, yet an astonishing 88% of sites still fail to use it. We provide the architectural precision required to implement comprehensive Schema, making your data instantly ingestible and trustworthy for AI crawlers.

Controlling the AI Consensus

In the AEO landscape, plain-text brand mentions and "Brand Mentions" across the web often outweigh traditional backlinks. We orchestrate a cross-platform strategy—including PR, forums, and directories—to ensure a cohesive narrative regardless of where the AI "learns" about your brand.

The pie is only getting bigger

Generative AI isn't shrinking the search pie, it's expanding it. Treating AEO as a "marketing task" is a profound mistake—it is a Core Business Mandate. Brands that fail to architect their data for the autonomous era risk losing control of their own story. TEDIX provides the strategic clarity and technical execution to ensure that when AI speaks, it speaks your truth.
