Be clearer to buyers. Be easier to find.
Build useful service content, a sound site structure, and a credible body of expertise for traditional search and AI-powered discovery.
SEO improves how search engines discover and understand your website. AEO, or answer-engine optimization, focuses on making your expertise easy to interpret and useful in answers. Both begin with clear, accessible, evidence-backed information.
Who is this for?
Small B2B companies whose buyers research specialized problems, compare providers, and need confidence in technical expertise.
When is it useful?
Useful when services have no dedicated pages, content does not answer buyer questions, technical issues block discovery, or the business wants a practical starting point for AI-search visibility.
What an engagement includes
- Technical and structural reviewReview crawlability, indexability, metadata, canonicals, internal links, mobile usability, and performance.
- Buyer-question and topic mappingConnect priority services to the questions buyers ask before speaking to a provider. Avoid creating pages for every slight keyword variation.
- Service and answer-focused contentDevelop clear service explanations, direct answers, relevant examples, and a plan for first-hand evidence.
- Structured data and measurementAdd relevant markup that matches visible content and establish a baseline for search visibility, useful visits, and inquiries.
The exact deliverables and implementation responsibilities are agreed before the work begins.
What is it intended to support?
A technically sound, useful website that communicates the company’s expertise clearly. Search rankings and inclusion in AI answers are controlled by third-party systems and cannot be guaranteed.
How to judge progress
Track priority pages, relevant search queries, qualified organic inquiries, and observable AI referrals where available. Keep tests dated and separate observations from causal claims.
Google’s guidance says the same core SEO practices apply to its AI search features; special AI markup is not required. BoydGrow focuses on useful content and accessible technical foundations. Read Google’s guidance on AI features and websites.
Start with the business context
Bring your current website, a description of the customers you want, and examples of what is or is not working. Existing sales questions, project notes, and analytics are useful if available.
