AEO (answer engine optimisation) helps your business get quoted when people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Google's AI Overviews a question. Cynitek. is an AEO specialist based in Queenstown, New Zealand. We find the questions your customers ask, restructure your pages to answer them directly, and add the schema markup that helps AI systems understand who you are. You work directly with a specialist with 20+ years in technical search.
We check how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews currently describe your business and your competitors, for the questions your customers actually ask. That shows where you are missing, where you are described wrongly and which pages to fix first.
We map the questions buyers ask at each stage, from 'what is it' to 'who is the best option near me', using Search Console, People Also Ask and real AI answers. Each important question gets a clear home on your site.
We rewrite key pages so the answer comes first: a direct one or two sentence answer, then the detail. We add clear headings, short FAQs and comparison sections that AI assistants can lift and quote accurately.
We add accurate JSON-LD schema (Organization, Service, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList) and keep your business details consistent across your site and profiles. We also make sure AI crawlers can reach and render your pages. No one can guarantee a citation, but these steps give you a much better chance.
1. AUDIT: we find what is holding your site back and rank the fixes by likely impact.
2. FIX: we make the changes across SEO, AEO and GEO, including technical fixes, schema, page structure and Webflow work.
3. KEEP GOING: ongoing work is measured in Search Console, so you can see what moved.
ONGOING MONTHLY: regular SEO, AEO and GEO work every month.
FIXED RETAINER: an agreed scope and set hours each month.
ONE-OFF PROJECT: an audit, a migration or a specific set of fixes.
Not sure where to start? A technical SEO audit finds what is holding your site back and gives you a prioritised list of fixes. See what an SEO, AEO and GEO audit includes.

AEO, or answer engine optimisation, is the work of making your website easy for AI assistants and answer features to quote. It covers answer-first content, schema markup, clear structure and consistent business details.
AEO builds on SEO rather than replacing it. AI assistants still rely on pages that are crawlable, trusted and well structured, so technical SEO is the foundation, and AEO shapes how your answers are written and marked up.
We track how often AI assistants mention or cite you for a set of target questions, alongside Google organic clicks and impressions in Search Console. Results vary and citations are never guaranteed.
Some changes, such as schema and answer-first rewrites, can show up within weeks once pages are recrawled. Building enough trust to be cited consistently usually takes several months.
Yes. We are based in Queenstown and work with businesses across New Zealand, and remotely with businesses in Australia, the UK and the US.
