Results & guarantees
Do you guarantee rankings?+
No. AI answer results vary by platform, prompt, location, model updates, and available sources. AEOMeta campaigns engineer the signals that make rankings and citations significantly more likely — and we report transparently on every engine.
How long does AEO take?+
Foundational signals start landing in 2–4 weeks. Compounding visibility across engines typically appears between weeks 6 and 12, with continued lift on the Growth Engine.
AEO basics
What is the difference between SEO and AEO?+
SEO optimizes pages for a ranked list of links. AEO optimizes your brand, entities, and sources so AI engines can confidently understand, cite, and recommend you in a synthesized answer.
Which AI engines do you target?+
ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, Claude, and Google AI — with reporting per engine.
Working with AEOMeta
Do I need a sales call?+
No. Every package is self-serve. Pick your campaign, complete the guided 6-question intake, and our team executes.
What's the difference between AEO Sprint and AI Growth Engine?+
AEO Sprint is a one-time $3,997 project — 90 days, fixed scope, no recurring charges. AI Growth Engine is a $2,497/month retainer that keeps compounding your visibility every month. Choose Sprint if you want a defined push and then manage in-house. Choose Growth if you want AI search treated as an ongoing growth channel.
What's the difference between AEO Ignite and AI Growth Engine?+
Ignite ($1,297/mo) is the affordable, month-to-month starter — lower volume of citations, backlinks, and content. Growth ($2,497/mo) is roughly 3–4× the monthly output plus guest posts, dedicated lead, and Slack channel. Ignite is for testing the waters; Growth is for compounding.
Who does the work?+
AEOMeta specialists — content, schema, and authority operators. You are assigned a dedicated lead on the Growth Engine.
Can I cancel a monthly package?+
Yes. Ignite and Growth are month-to-month, no long-term contract. Cancel any time before the next billing cycle.
