AI Search & Answer Engines
Monthly AEO Services (Retainer)
AI visibility isn't a project — it's a program.
AI answers shift often enough that a one-off fix decays faster than most traditional SEO gains do — new model versions, new training cutoffs, and shifting citation behaviour mean a page that was extractable and trusted six months ago can quietly stop performing without any change on your end. Monthly AEO is a managed program that continuously optimises your content and entities for answer engines, tracks your AI citations against a real baseline, and compounds your share of model over time instead of treating AI visibility as a project with an end date.
Each month follows the same disciplined cycle: new answer-target content built against the biggest remaining gaps, entity and citation reinforcement to keep corroboration signals fresh, competitor share-of-model tracking so you know whether you're actually gaining ground, and a tight report on what moved and what's next — no padded slide decks, just what changed and why.
What you get
Outcomes, not activity
A growing share of AI answers in your category, tracked consistently month over month
Continuous entity and citation reinforcement instead of a one-time fix that fades
New answer-optimised content each cycle, prioritised against the current biggest gap
Clear reporting on AI mentions, citations, and sentiment — not vanity dashboards
A program built to survive model updates and shifting citation behaviour, not a single snapshot
Deliverables
What's included
Monthly answer-content
New or reworked passages targeting the priority AI answers identified as the biggest gaps that cycle.
Entity + citation work
Ongoing reinforcement of the signals AI systems weigh — corroboration, sameAs consistency, and off-site presence.
Share-of-model tracking
Your presence vs. named competitors across engines, sampled and reported monthly against a consistent baseline.
Concise monthly report
What moved, why it moved, and next month's priorities — built for a stakeholder to actually read.
How it works
The process
Baseline
Measure current AI share of voice and rank the priority gaps before any work begins.
Monthly cycles
Content, entity, and citation work executed each month, with tracking updated against the baseline.
Iterate
Double down on what's demonstrably earning citations; cut what isn't moving the number.
Fit
Who this is for
- Brands treating AI visibility as an ongoing channel, not a one-time audit item
- Agencies offering an AEO retainer to clients who are already asking about AI visibility
- Categories with fast-moving AI answers where a static fix won't hold
FAQ
Common questions
What's a typical engagement length?+
AEO compounds the way topical authority does — most clients see meaningful movement over 3–6 months of consistent monthly work, not a single sprint.
Do you need my team to publish?+
I can hand off ready content or work directly in your CMS; either model works depending on how your team is set up.
Is tracking really possible for AI?+
Yes — via structured, consistent prompt sampling across engines. It's directional given how these models work, but genuinely consistent and comparable month to month, which is what a retainer needs.
How does this differ from the one-time AI Visibility Audit?+
The audit is a diagnostic snapshot and gap plan; this retainer is the ongoing execution and tracking that closes those gaps and keeps closing new ones as the landscape shifts.
