AEO Consulting: Be the AI's Answer
AEO Protocol helps brands get recommended by ChatGPT and Gemini. Founded by Sohaib Ahmad after auditing 100+ brands, our methodology has taken clients from 0% to 90% visibility in 30 days. We developed AEO after AI convinced us to change a major purchase decision. If it can change ours, it is changing your customers' decisions too.

Why We Started AEO Protocol
I was on my second BMW. Going to buy another one. I asked ChatGPT for advice.
It convinced me to buy a Porsche Boxster instead.
If AI can change MY buying decision, what is it doing to my clients' businesses?
That question led to auditing 100+ brands across ChatGPT and Gemini. The findings were stark: 53% of well-known brands are completely invisible to AI. The brands that are visible share common patterns. We turned those patterns into a methodology.

The AEO Protocol Methodology
Our approach is based on reverse-engineering how ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity retrieve and cite content. Key principles include:
First 50 Words Rule
LLMs weight the beginning of content heavily. WHO, WHAT, WHERE, and PRICE must be in the first 50 words of key pages.
Learn more10-Run Consistency Test
LLM responses vary. We test each query 10 times to measure true visibility rate, not a single snapshot.
Learn more3-Layer Architecture
ChatGPT uses Bing Index, OAI-SearchBot Cache, and User Fetches. Understanding these layers is critical for optimization.
Learn moreCache Forcing
Techniques to update ChatGPT's cached content within minutes, not weeks. Critical for time-sensitive updates.
