What is the difference between AEO and GEO?

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) is specifically about getting cited as a source when AI engines answer questions. GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) is broader — optimizing for inclusion in any AI-generated output, including product recommendations, comparisons, lists, and summaries. AEO is a subset of GEO.

Do I still need traditional SEO?

Yes. AEO doesn't replace SEO — it complements it. Traditional Google search still drives the majority of organic traffic for most B2B and ecommerce businesses. AI Overviews appear on roughly 47% of searches, but they often pull from the top SEO results. Strong SEO foundations make AEO 5-10x more effective.

How do you actually track AI citations?

We run a defined prompt set (30-100 queries depending on package) across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews on a weekly cadence. We log whether your brand is mentioned, where you appear in the response, what context, and which competitors are cited alongside or above you.

How long until I see results?

Faster than traditional SEO, slower than paid ads. Schema and structural fixes get reflected by AI engines within 2-4 weeks. Citation increases on existing pages: 4-8 weeks. New AEO content getting indexed and cited: 8-16 weeks. Compounding effects: 4-6 months.

What is the pricing for AEO services?

Three packages. Starter at $2,500/month for SMBs. Growth at $5,500/month for $5M-$25M brands. Enterprise from $12,500/month for $25M+ brands. Quarter-to-quarter contracts with no 12-month lock-ins. INR pricing available for India clients.

Will AI eventually replace traditional search?

For some use cases, yes. For others, no. Research-heavy queries increasingly happen in AI tools. Transactional queries still happen in Google. The right strategy is to optimize for both surfaces — your content engine produces material that ranks in SERPs AND gets cited by AI.

Shopify Conversion Rate Optimization: The 2026 Playbook

Shopify makes launching easy but converting isn’t automatic. CRO on Shopify is about speed, product-page clarity, frictionless checkout, and disciplined testing — getting more revenue from the traffic you already have. Here’s the playbook.

Speed first

Shopify themes bloat fast with apps. Every 100ms of load time costs conversions. Audit apps ruthlessly, compress images, and keep the theme lean — Core Web Vitals are both ranking and conversion factors.

Product pages

Benefit-led copy above the fold
Real photos + video, multiple angles
Reviews prominently placed
Clear shipping, returns, guarantees
Sticky add-to-cart on mobile

Checkout

Use Shopify’s express and accelerated checkouts, minimize fields, offer guest checkout, and never surprise with fees late. Shopify checkout converts well — don’t break it with unnecessary steps.

Apps: help vs hurt

Every app adds scripts. Keep the ones that lift revenue (reviews, upsells that work), cut vanity ones dragging speed. Measure the trade.

Test with discipline

Prioritize by impact, test where traffic allows significance, and measure revenue per visitor. Guessing isn’t CRO — see our general CRO checklist.
