AEO & GEO — AI Search Optimization
Customers ask ChatGPT and Google AI before they click blue links. I structure your content for AI citation — definition-first pages, FAQ schema, NPR tables, and entity clarity — so your brand appears when AI answers Nepal-specific questions.
Why Work With Me
Citation-Ready Content Architecture
H2 questions, 40–60 word answers, and tables AI systems can quote.
FAQ & HowTo Schema
Validated JSON-LD that supports rich results and AI parsing.
Nepal-Specific Data Layers
NPR pricing, .com.np context, wallet integrations, and festival seasonality.
Entity & E-E-A-T Signals
Author bios, update dates, and original research AI prefers over aggregators.
Nepal Market Context
Nepali users increasingly ask AI "best digital marketing agency Kathmandu" or "Google Ads cost Nepal" before visiting websites. Generic content gets ignored — AI cites pages with original NPR benchmarks, Nepal-specific examples, and clear entity signals (author, date, schema). Blocking all AI crawlers without a retrieval policy risks invisibility in ChatGPT Search and Perplexity.
My Process
- Discovery audit: Review accounts, analytics, competitors, and current conversion paths.
- Strategy & roadmap: Prioritized 90-day plan with KPIs, budget tiers in NPR, and quick wins.
- Implementation: Launch or fix campaigns, tracking, content, and technical foundations.
- Optimization cadence: Weekly bid/creative tests; monthly reporting tied to revenue or pipeline.
- Scale & handoff: Document SOPs so your team can maintain momentum after engagement.
Expected Results
Outcomes vary by industry and budget, but here are realistic benchmarks from Nepal campaigns I have managed or audited:
| Metric | Typical Range (Nepal) |
|---|---|
| AEO content sprint | 5–10 priority URLs optimized in 2–3 weeks |
| Featured snippet wins | Definition-first H2 + 40–60 word answers — typical 4–8 week timeline for low-competition queries |
| Branded AI spot-checks | Monthly manual checks across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews |
| GEO pillar build | 1 pillar + FAQ cluster + schema deployed in 3–4 weeks per commercial topic |
Figures are directional — your audit will set targets based on margin, competition, and tracking quality.
Industries I Work With

Example Outcome
Citation work on this domain is structured pages, the dictionary, and practitioner tables — not an unnamed “22% branded search from AI Overviews” study. Method: this page. Numbers: case studies or Benchmark Report 2027.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AEO vs GEO?
AEO targets answer engines (featured snippets, AI Overviews). GEO emphasizes entity authority so LLMs cite you when synthesizing responses.
How do I measure AI citations?
No perfect dashboard yet. I use branded spot-checks in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews plus indirect signals like branded search lift.
Does blocking GPTBot hurt citations?
Training crawlers and retrieval bots differ. I document a robots policy that protects content while allowing citation-eligible access.
Should I rewrite all my blog posts for AEO?
No — start with 5–10 commercial-intent URLs with existing impressions in GSC. Expand based on citation spot-check results.
Does AEO replace traditional SEO?
No — it layers on top. Rankings and AI citations reinforce each other when content is structured for both.
