Traffic to Your Site.
On Autopilot.

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) focuses on getting your content cited by AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Mode. While SEO optimizes for traditional search rankings, AEO ensures AI assistants reference your content when answering user questions. The competition is much lower, and a single AI citation can drive more qualified traffic than a page-one Google ranking.

SEO is a required foundation for AEO, but the goals and methods differ. Traditional SEO focuses on ranking signals, keywords, and backlinks to climb search results. AEO optimizes for how AI models understand, trust, and cite your content—emphasizing clear answers, authoritative structure, and citation-friendly formatting. We do both because strong SEO builds the domain authority that AI platforms rely on, while AEO-specific techniques ensure you actually get cited. Together, they capture traffic from both traditional search and the rapidly growing AI search channel.

Yes, they're all the same thing. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), GEO (Generative Engine Optimization), and AI search optimization are different names for the same practice: optimizing your content to be discovered and cited by AI-powered search tools. The industry is new, so different terms emerged in parallel. We use AEO because it emphasizes the goal—getting your content featured as the answer.

Most customers see their first AI citations within 2-4 weeks. Unlike traditional SEO which can take 6-12 months, the AEO landscape is new and less competitive. Our agent identifies quick-win opportunities in your niche and creates optimized content immediately. You'll have full visibility into citations and traffic growth through your dashboard.

Cakewalk optimizes your content for all major AI platforms including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Claude, and Microsoft Copilot. We continuously monitor which platforms are citing your content and adjust our strategy to maximize visibility across the AI ecosystem.

Not at all. Setup takes about 2 minutes—just connect your website and analytics. The agent handles everything automatically: research, content creation, publishing, and optimization. You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you like, with full control over approval workflows if you want to review content before it goes live.

The agent creates a variety of content types matched to search intent: in-depth articles, how-to guides, FAQ pages, product comparisons, listicles, and expert roundups. It analyzes what formats get cited most in your industry and automatically produces content in those styles, optimized for both AI citation and traditional search rankings.

Cakewalk tracks every piece of content across AI platforms and Google. It identifies what's working—which topics, formats, and styles get cited most—and automatically applies those learnings to future content. Underperforming content gets refreshed and re-optimized. The system also learns patterns across all users, so you benefit from collective intelligence.

Cakewalk works for any industry where people search for information online. Whether you're in B2B software, e-commerce, professional services, health and wellness, finance, or any other sector, the agent adapts to your specific market. It researches your competitors, identifies gaps, and creates content tailored to your audience's questions.

Cakewalk handles both AEO and traditional SEO, so it can replace or complement your existing efforts. The content we create is optimized for Google rankings as well as AI citations. Many customers use Cakewalk as their primary content engine, while others run it alongside existing SEO programs to capture the new AI search opportunity.

Absolutely. You have full control over your approval workflow. You can set Cakewalk to auto-publish (fully automated), require approval for all content, or only flag certain types for review. Most customers start with approvals enabled and switch to auto-publish once they're confident in the quality and brand alignment.

Yes—some high-impact actions require a human touch. For example, Cakewalk can't post comments on Reddit threads, respond to Quora questions, or engage directly on social platforms on your behalf. However, we're building a recommendations engine that will surface these opportunities for you, showing exactly where and how to engage for maximum impact. You'll get actionable suggestions you can optionally pursue to boost your results even further.
