Nobody scrolls ten results anymore. They ask one question and take the one answer. I make sure that answer is your business. Paste your website below and this page checks it for you, live, in about five seconds.
“In less than two weeks, the new website generated more than 10 inbound prospects, all closely aligned with my target executive demographic. I have never experienced this level of qualified response from a website before.”
Linda Van Valkenburgh, CEO, My Executive Career Coach · her words, 17 Sep 2026, three weeks after launch Open the site →Type your website. This page reads it the way an answer engine does and checks the six signals. No email, no signup, about five seconds.
Reads your public home page, robots.txt and llms.txt. Nothing is stored.
Ten links. The person scrolls, compares, maybe calls three. You are one of ten on a good day.
The engine reads every site, trusts one, and says its name. That is the whole game now. Being on the list is not enough.
SEO still matters. It gets you in the room. AEO is what gets you picked.
I rebuilt Linda’s site for answer engines and launched it 27 August 2026. Every piece below is live on her site this second. Open them on your phone.

A single connected graph: the organization, the person, her credentials, the areas served, the website. An engine reads it as fact, not prose.
Every section opens with a complete, standalone answer. No “as mentioned above.” An engine can lift any paragraph and it still makes sense.
No copy loaded by script. What a crawler fetches is what a person sees. Snippet and preview directives set so nothing is truncated.
Every old URL redirects in one hop to its new home. Years of links and mentions kept working the night it launched.
Her result is her business and her words. Yours will be yours. I do not guarantee citations, rankings, leads, or revenue, and I will tell you that on the call too.
Who you are, what you do, where you work, your credentials, one connected graph. Only facts you can stand behind go in; a wrong fact is worse than none.
The questions your customers actually ask, each answered completely in the first sentence, on the page, in plain words.
The FAQ people read and the FAQ the engine reads are the same text. No hidden markup, no stuffing.
A short plain summary at a known address that tells an AI what the site is and which page answers what.
robots.txt that admits the AI crawlers by name, and directives that let an engine quote you in full.
A fast static page with every word in the HTML. Engines skip what they cannot fetch in one pass.
I check your site for all six signals, tell you what is there, what is missing, and what I would build first. A few days. No obligation, no pitch deck.
Answer Engine Optimization is the work of making a website readable, trustworthy, and quotable to AI answer engines such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude, so that when someone asks a question your business is the answer they are given rather than one of ten blue links.
No. AEO sits on top of SEO. Answer engines still draw on search indexes, so the page has to be findable first. AEO adds the structure and the plain, complete answers that let an engine lift your content into its reply and name you as the source.
Entity schema that states who you are, where you work, and what you do; a visible FAQ with matching FAQPage markup; sections that open with a complete standalone answer; a machine-readable llms.txt summary; a robots.txt that admits the AI crawlers; and all of the copy in the served HTML rather than loaded by script.
No, and nobody honest can. Answer engines choose what to cite and change how they choose. What can be guaranteed is that your site gives them everything they need, in the form they read, and that every signal is live and inspectable.
The audit takes a few days. The build depends on the site. My Executive Career Coach moved from WordPress to a static Cloudflare build with the full AEO stack and an 869-URL redirect map so no earned link broke; it launched on 27 August 2026.
