Answer Engine Optimization
Rank in Google and get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews, one program, measured against pipeline.
HandsOnTech is a U.S. AEO agency headquartered in Sacramento, CA. We structure service pages, FAQs, schema and entity signals so AI answer engines can quote what you do, where you serve and why you are credible, alongside technical SEO that still wins classic blue links.
The AEO/GEO cluster is still low-competition relative to “SEO agency.” Buyers ask full-sentence questions in ChatGPT before they open a SERP. If there is no page for the model to cite, you are invisible.

Got questions?
What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of structuring content so AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and similar) can extract, cite and recommend your business accurately.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO optimizes for ranked links in traditional SERPs. AEO optimizes for being the cited source inside AI-generated answers. HandsOnTech runs both together, technical SEO plus answer-ready content, FAQ schema and entity signals.
What is generative engine optimization (GEO)?
GEO focuses on visibility inside generative AI results. It overlaps with AEO: clear entity naming, citable facts, tables, limitations stated honestly and consistent NAP/organization signals.
Do you offer an AI visibility audit?
Yes, our free 48-hour audit includes what AI assistants currently say when buyers ask about your category, plus a prioritized fix list.
Who is AEO for?
U.S. B2B and local service companies that already invest in SEO and want citations in ChatGPT, Perplexity and AI Overviews, not vanity traffic reports.
