Where the questions go now

Australians ask
ChatGPT, Perplexity,
Gemini and Claude.

Each assistant finds and quotes sources differently. We work across all of them so your business is described accurately wherever the question is asked.

Engines we optimise forChatGPTPerplexityGeminiClaudeCopilot

ChatGPT

Quick recommendations

The default assistant for most Australians — asked directly who to use and what something involves.

Perplexity

Buying research

Search-first answers with visible sources, popular with people comparing providers before they call.

Gemini

Everyday Google use

Built into Google search results, Android and Workspace, so it shows up without being sought out.

Claude

Detailed evaluation

Favoured for longer, more careful reasoning — technical briefs, scopes and comparisons.

Copilot

Work and Windows

Sits inside Microsoft 365 and Edge, common across Australian offices and trades admin.

Product names and logos are the property of their owners. Gravity Co is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any AI platform.

Our AEO services

Two jobs:
be findable,
be quotable.

Answer engines have to retrieve your information before they can use it, and trust it before they cite it. Those are two different pieces of work.

Retrievability

Make the answer
easy to find
and lift.

If a model cannot reach your page, parse it or work out what it says, you are not in the running. We clean up crawl access, page structure, headings, definitions and structured data so your expertise is retrievable in whole, useful passages.

CrawlableParsableStructuredRetrieved

Perplexity

“How much does a commercial fitout cost?”

Costs usually depend on scope, compliance and site access rather than a single fixed rate.

1yourbusiness.com.au2industry body

Answer blocks on your page

What is it?

A one-sentence definition anyone can quote.

What does it cost?

A clear range with the factors that move it.

How long does it take?

A realistic timeframe, not a slogan.

Written for people first — structured so machines can lift it accurately.

A brilliant answer nobody can retrieve is invisible.

Credibility

Give it a reason
to choose you
as the source.

Engines compare sources before they commit to one. Real expertise, named authors, first-hand detail, consistent business facts and credible third-party references are what separate a citation from a skim.

“A strategic partner that actually delivers.”
Gravity Co client

Answer engines retrieve passages, compare sources and assemble direct responses. Clear structure helps, but credibility and useful first-hand information still determine whether a source deserves citation.

We map the questions customers ask before, during and after a buying decision, then improve the pages, entities and structured information that support accurate answers.

AEO complements SEO. Crawlability, authority and strong content remain the foundation; answer formatting makes that foundation easier to retrieve.

Grounded in Google's index, Business Profile and Knowledge Graph, so your local presence and structured data carry real weight here.

What you need: A plain definition an engine can quote in one line.

A live web answer with the range, the factors and the sources named.

Answer quality

A page can rank well and still never get quoted.

Ranking rewards a whole page. Answering rewards a specific passage. We rewrite the parts that matter so a direct question has a direct, attributable answer — with the depth and evidence behind it that earns trust.

AEO diagnostics

Before we write a word,
we audit what machines see.

Most sites that never get cited are not short on content. They are hard to parse, inconsistent about who they are, or thin on the specific detail an answer needs.

We check each of these can reach the pages that matter — and that you've decided which should be allowed.

1

Crawler access

Can answer-engine crawlers reach your key pages, or are they blocked in robots.txt?

2

Page structure

Do headings, definitions and lists make each answer easy to isolate?

3

Entity consistency

Are your name, services, locations and people described the same way everywhere?

4

Structured data

Is schema accurate and matched to the visible content, not bolted on?

5

Evidence depth

Is there first-hand detail, or generic copy anyone could have written?

6

Third-party corroboration

Do credible external sources describe you the way you describe yourself?

AEO investment

What shapes your
AEO investment?

Scope depends on the size of your site, how much needs rewriting, how many services and locations you cover, and how much subject-matter input we need from your team.

  • Site size & condition
  • Number of services
  • Question set breadth
  • Content production volume
  • Schema & technical work
  • Monitoring cadence

Clear inclusions and priorities, agreed before anything starts.

Scope my AEO program

Buyer guide

Before you hire an AEO agency, ask these 6 questions.

01

How do you decide which questions to target?

There should be a mapped, commercial question set — not a list of keywords renamed.

02

What changes on the site itself?

Ask for specifics: structure, answers, schema, internal links, author credentials.

03

How is expertise captured?

Good AEO needs your people. Ask how they'll interview your team and use what they know.

04

What is measured?

Answer appearances, citations, search visibility and enquiries — with honest caveats.

05

What do you refuse to do?

Anyone willing to fabricate reviews, authors or claims will damage your credibility.

06

What is guaranteed?

Nothing about placement can be. Be wary of anyone promising AI citations.

The Gravity difference

We don’t write for robots.
We make expertise retrievable.

Answer engines reward the source that is clearest, most specific and most credible. That starts with what your team genuinely knows — then we structure it so it can be found, understood and quoted.

FAQ

AEO,
answered.

Straight answers about strategy, timing, investment, reporting and sustainable answer visibility growth.

Ask us anything
What is answer engine optimisation?

AEO improves how clearly your content answers questions and how easily search and AI systems can retrieve, understand and cite that information.

Is AEO different from SEO?

Yes, but they overlap. SEO builds discoverability and authority; AEO adds question-led structure and retrievability for direct answers.

Does schema guarantee an AI citation?

No. Structured data can clarify information, but useful content, authority and corroborating sources remain essential.

Can you guarantee featured snippets?

No. We improve answer quality and technical clarity, but search platforms control which source they display.

How is AEO measured?

We track relevant answer appearances, citations, search visibility and downstream traffic or enquiries where measurement allows.

Let’s build a bigger tomorrow.

Book a strategy call and let’s talk about what answer visibility can achieve for your business.

The question that matters

Don’t ask “are we ranking?”
Ask if you’re the answer.

For service businesses: when someone asks an assistant who to use, does your name come up — and is it described correctly?

For considered purchases: when a buyer asks how something works or what it costs, is your explanation the one being quoted?

  • Questions mapped to real demand
  • Answers written with your team
  • Structured data that matches the page
  • Honest reporting, no citation promises

Let’s see how answer engines currently describe your business.

Tell us what you do and who you serve. We’ll review your site, your entity signals and the questions worth owning, then show you how we’d approach it.

No agency can guarantee an AI citation. We improve the signals platforms actually use, and report honestly on what changes.
