AEO agency: answer engine optimization, done for you. Make your page the answer that gets quoted.
An AEO agency reshapes your pages so search engines and AI assistants can lift a clear, correct answer from them and quote it. Strategi does this for you from $499 a month: we match each buyer question to the page that should answer it, rewrite or build that page around a first-line answer, add the markup answer engines read, and fix whatever stops them reaching it.

What is answer engine optimization?
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is writing and structuring pages so an answer engine can take a short, correct answer from them and show it, with your name attached. It is the page-level side of AI search: the wording, the order and the markup that make your answer the easiest one to use.
What does an AEO agency do?
It finds the questions your buyers ask, checks which page currently answers each one, and rewrites or builds pages so yours gives the best short answer. Then it removes what stops answer engines reading those pages: blocked crawlers, text that needs scripts to load, missing or broken structured data.
At Strategi, that is the heart of the Growth plan at $999 a month: 15 blog posts and 5 money pages a month, 6 existing pages improved, and every technical fix made by us.
What makes a page easy for AI search to quote?
Our platform checks every page we publish against this list, and a specialist reviews each one before it reaches you. This page follows the same rules.
- The answer in the first two sentences, before any background.
- Headings that ask the question a buyer would type.
- Facts that match across your site, your listings and your profiles.
- Tables for prices and comparisons, so a number is never buried in a paragraph.
- A short FAQ, marked up with structured data.
- An author, a date and sources, so the answer can be trusted.
How is AEO different from GEO and SEO?
You rarely need just one. A page that ranks and answers cleanly is also the page AI search is most likely to cite, so our plans do all three and you never pay three vendors.
| What it wins | Where the work happens | |
|---|---|---|
| SEO | A place in the list of links | Your whole site: pages, links, technical health |
| AEO | The quoted answer at the top | Each page: its wording, order and markup |
| GEO | A recommendation inside AI answers | Your site plus the reviews, lists and press AI reads |
How much does an AEO agency cost?
AEO is usually sold inside an SEO or GEO retainer rather than on its own, and agency retainers for this work start around $3,000 a month. Strategi publishes its prices: Starter $499, Growth $999 and Scale $2,499 a month.
For AEO, pick Growth. It is the first plan where we improve the pages you already have and make every fix ourselves. Starter suits a newer site that mainly needs new pages.

How long does AEO take?
Page work is the quickest lever in AI search, because you are improving pages search engines already know. You are onboarded within the hour, your roadmap lands within 24 hours, and the first rewritten and new pages go live in month 1 as you approve them.
Search Console shows, page by page, whether a changed page is earning more impressions. Your dashboard shows which AI answers start quoting it, checked every day.
What should you ask an AEO agency before hiring one?
Not every site needs one yet. A small site with someone who enjoys writing can start from the free check and its fix list, and come back when there are more pages to improve.
- Will you improve my existing pages, or only write new ones?
- Who approves a change before it goes live?
- Do you add structured data, and do you test that it validates?
- How will I see which answers quote my pages?
- Is the price published, and is there a minimum term?
What does answer engine optimization include?
- A question map. Each buyer question matched to the one page that should answer it, so no two pages compete.
- Page rewrites. Existing pages rebuilt around a clear opening answer: 6 a month on Growth, 20 on Scale.
- New answer pages. Blog posts on every plan; service, comparison and location pages on Growth and Scale.
- Structured data. Organization, service, article and FAQ markup that matches what the page says.
- Crawl and render fixes. So answer engines can reach and read every page. Made for you on Growth and Scale, listed for you on Starter.
- Answer tracking. Which answers quote you, checked daily on every engine in your plan.
How does it work?
- 01We map your buyer questions to the pages that should answer them.
- 02We flag the pages that answer badly, or not at all.
- 03We rewrite or build each one; a specialist reviews it, then you approve it.
- 04We watch which answers begin quoting you and plan next month from that.
Which plans include it?
| Starter, $499 | Growth, $999 | Scale, $2,499 |
|---|---|---|
| 10 blog posts a month; site fixes listed for you | 15 posts, 5 money pages and 6 page improvements a month; every fix made for you | 20 posts, 10 money pages and 20 page improvements a month; weekly site checks |
What we never do:
- Stuff pages with keywords or hidden text
- Add markup for anything the page does not say
- Change a live page without your approval
- Nothing goes live without your yesEvery page and fix is reviewed by a specialist, then approved by you.
- No shortcutsWe never post as you, buy reviews, use fake accounts or publish facts you have not approved.
- You own everythingEvery page, fix, listing and account stays yours, including if you leave.
- Month to monthNo setup fee, no minimum term. Cancel anytime; your plan runs to the end of the paid month.
