What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?

AEO is the practice of optimizing your website so AI platforms like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity, and Claude can find, understand, and recommend your business. It uses structured data, FAQ schema, llms.txt files, and question-based content to make your business visible in AI-generated answers — not just traditional search results.

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO optimizes for search engine rankings — getting your website onto page one of Google. AEO optimizes for AI recommendations — getting your business mentioned when someone asks an AI assistant for help. Both matter, but AEO is where the fastest growth is happening. Over 200 million people use ChatGPT weekly, and 60% of Google searches now include AI-generated answers.

What is Nexus Studio?

Nexus Studio is an AI-powered website and content management platform by AImpact Nexus. It monitors your visibility across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok. Features include SEO/AEO audits with AI auto-fixes, AI Blog Engine, Google Analytics with AI insights, CRM and lead capture, newsletter system, site editor with vibe coding, and AI visibility tracking. Plans start at $299/month.

How much does Nexus Studio cost?

Monthly plans: Starter at $299/month (SEO audits, analytics, 10 AI fixes/mo), Growth at $399/month (unlimited AI fixes, full dashboard, CRM, blog engine, social content), Agency at $899/month (fully managed, white-label, multi-site). Add-ons: Custom AI Chatbot ($149/mo), SMS Marketing ($99/mo), AI Answering Service ($199/mo), Ecommerce ($99/mo).

Why can't AI find my business right now?

Most websites are built for humans to read, not for AI to parse. Without structured data (JSON-LD schema), FAQ markup, an llms.txt file, and content formatted as direct answers to questions, AI engines have no reliable way to extract information about your business. They recommend competitors who have these foundations in place.

What does Nexus Studio do that my current website doesn't?

Nexus Studio builds your website with AI visibility as a first-class priority. Every page includes Organization schema, FAQ schema, and structured data. We create and maintain an llms.txt file for AI crawlers. Our AI Blog Engine publishes fresh, question-based content regularly. And we monitor your visibility across all five major AI platforms weekly.

How long does it take to start showing up in AI recommendations?

Most businesses start seeing AI visibility improvements within 4-8 weeks of launching with Nexus Studio. The timeline depends on your industry, competition, and existing content. Our AI Blog Engine accelerates this by consistently publishing authoritative content that AI engines can cite.

Does AImpact Nexus manage my website for me?

Yes. With the Agency tier ($899/month), AImpact Nexus handles your website hosting, content updates, blog posts, SEO, AEO, and newsletters. The Growth tier ($399/month) gives you the same AI tools to manage it yourself. Either way, the AI does the heavy lifting.
