Your customers ask AI. We make you the top recommendation
Google gives your customers ten options. ChatGPT gives them one or two workshops. We make one of them yours.
What AEO is
AI engines don't recommend whoever shouts loudest. They recommend workshops they can verify: specific builds, real kW figures, consistent details, published somewhere they can read. AEO is publishing that proof, structuring it so engines can quote it, and testing every month whether they do. Nobody can promise what an AI will say. The inputs it draws on can be built deliberately, and that's the job.
of consumers used AI to find local business recommendations in the past year. Twelve months earlier it was 6%.

GA4, revzone.com.au, May to Jul 2026How we make you the answer
- The baseline
We ask the engines your buyers use the questions that bring customers through your door, and record who gets named. That's your starting position, on record before we touch anything.
- The proof
Your real jobs published with dates, numbers and outcomes. Engines quote evidence, so the shop with the most verifiable published work wins the recommendation.
- The structure
Schema on every page, an llms.txt for AI crawlers, answers written so an engine can lift them whole. Built on a site fast and clean enough to be worth crawling.
- The retest
The same platform questions re-run every month and logged, so "does AI recommend us yet" gets a dated answer instead of a shrug.
The guarantee runs on this log: named by an AI engine on the agreed questions within 90 days of a platform page going live, or the next month is free until you are.
AEO and SEO are the same work
AI Overviews sit on top of Google search, and ChatGPT reads the same web Google ranks. The published proof that earns a page 1 spot is the published proof an engine quotes, so we run SEO and AEO as one system and report both in the same monthly numbers. Both are part of the monthly retainer.
Questions we get
- Is AEO the same as GEO?
Same practice, different names. GEO (generative engine optimisation), LLM SEO and AI search optimisation all describe making a business the answer AI engines give. We say AEO.
- Can you control what ChatGPT says?
No one can, and anyone claiming to is selling something. What can be controlled is the published record engines draw on, and the monthly tests show whether it's working. The 90-day guarantee means the risk of "what if it doesn't" sits with us.
- Why one client per specialty per city?
An AI engine gives one answer. We can't make two competing workshops both be it, so we don't take both. First in, locked in.
- Is AI referral traffic actually worth chasing?
The volume is small and growing; the intent is the point. At Revzone, AI visitors enquire at 2.3 times the rate of Google visitors (GA4, May to Jul 2026). Someone who asked "who should tune my car" and got your name arrives ready to book.
