Question 1

What is AEO, GEO, AIO?

Accepted Answer

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), AIO (AI Optimization) are synonyms for optimizing for AI engines that answer in natural language. NovAI uses AEO by default.

Question 2

How long before being cited by AI engines?

Accepted Answer

Perplexity is the fastest: 3 weeks average after revamp. ChatGPT and Claude take longer (2 to 4 months) as they weight external authority more. No individual guarantee.

Question 3

What if ChatGPT changes algorithm?

Accepted Answer

The AEO method relies on web standards (Schema.org, robots.txt, answer-first content). LLM algorithms evolve, technical foundations stay stable. Our technical watch is active.

Question 4

Do you guarantee being first on ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

No. Nobody can guarantee this. Any agency promising the first ChatGPT position overpromises. We work on the probability of being cited in a reply, not on a ranking.

Question 5

Difference with classic SEO?

Accepted Answer

SEO optimizes for Google which lists links. AEO optimizes for LLMs which answer by citing companies. Many practices overlap, but important signals differ.

Question 6

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

The AEO audit is free, delivered in 5 days (Phase A 2026, initial acquisition). The full optimization is on quote (4 to 8 weeks cycle). Monthly dashboard included 6 months.

Question 7

Where are you based?

Accepted Answer

Two physical sites: Brest, France for legal, admin and remote delivery; eastern Crete (Ierapetra-Makrigialos) for field work. French SASU registered in Brest.

Question 8

Who do you work with?

Accepted Answer

French-speaking businesses (France, Belgium, French-speaking Switzerland, Maghreb) that already have an online footprint and want to exist in AI answers. The vertical is not fixed: AEO builds on the signals you already have.

Question 9

How do you measure results?

Accepted Answer

Every month we track whether you are cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude on your key queries, with dated screenshots. You see real progress, not a promise. The measurement is transparent and reproducible.

Question 10

Do you also do classic websites?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as AEO support. We deliver custom Next.js sites (method validated on 4 production sites). But the site is a means, not the end. The end = being cited in AI answers.

Question 11

Who is AEO most effective for?

Accepted Answer

For a business that already has an online presence: a site, content, reviews. AEO builds on those existing signals. The more established your authority, the faster you get cited in AI answers.

Question 12

How to start?

Accepted Answer

One single entry: the AEO audit of your competition, free, delivered in 5 days. You know what AI engines say about your market today, and what we can do to place you there. No commitment after.
