AEO Agency in India

AEO stands for answer engine optimization. An AEO agency defines the questions your buyers put to AI engines, measures how often your brand is named in the answers, and changes your site and third-party sources so the engines can read and cite you accurately.

GEO, or generative engine optimization, is the wider goal of getting a brand recommended in AI-generated responses. The two overlap heavily, so we run them as one service. We run SEO and AEO under one team as well, because the technical base is the same.

1. **Research the category the way buyers search.** Buyers write longer prompts and give more context than they type into a search box. We build the prompt universe from that behaviour.
2. **Analyse priors and fan-out queries.** One prompt triggers several retrievals. We map the prior queries and fan-out variations behind each prompt to see what the engine searches for and cites.
3. **Diagnose why you do not appear.** We check crawlability, structured-data mismatches, missing E-E-A-T signals and content that an engine cannot extract.
4. **Build content for extraction.** Schema, short-answer blocks, summary content and FAQs, optimised against the data.
5. **Run the off-page layer.** Listicles, original research, paid trade placements, LinkedIn, YouTube and Reddit, handled by our PR team.
6. **Deploy in bulk.** Schema, JSON-LD and page changes go out programmatically across many pages, using Velivo One SEO with GA4, Google Search Console and Lighthouse data.

We have done technical SEO for enterprise clients for 23 years, including Pearson, Tata Tele Business Services, Bajaj Electricals and Morphy Richards.

We track the unprompted mention rate. That is how often a brand is named on generic category questions where nobody typed its name. Branded searches say little about AI visibility.

We measure on Velivo One AEO, which has no cap on prompts per client. Where the engine allows it, we read results from a signed-out session in India. The same prompt set is tracked over time and reported whichever way it moves. Our AI search visibility methodology sets out prompt sampling, the six engines, citation share and the limits of the method. We score every prompt in a batch, absences included, because a mean position hides misses. Read Why "average position" is a broken AI visibility metric.

Keyword tools do not measure AI prompt volume. In the applications we tested they overstate it by 5.6 to 6x. We published the correction in our AEO prompt volume estimation method.

We also publish original research on where engines cite someone else's page about a brand in place of its own. The owned-citation gap study covers five scans across cement, oral care, health drinks, paint and whisky.

AEO retainers are priced by account time, in three tiers. There is no prompt limit in any tier. Tool costs and third-party costs such as guest posts, listicles and PR are extra, billed at actual plus a 10% handling charge.

• Contracts run 12 months. Either party can cancel on 1 month's notice.
• Clients on a 12-month retainer get the audit, baseline assessment and prompt universe at no charge. API credit costs are billed at actual.
• A standalone AI visibility audit costs ₹1 lakh to ₹6 lakh by scope.
• GST is charged at the applicable rate.

Two things set the scope inside a tier. Content volume is how many pages or answer blocks we build or restructure each month. Technical depth is the size of the crawlability and schema work on your existing site. See the full AEO pricing page and our digital marketing pricing.

Most brands choosing AEO are choosing between three models. Each suits a different buyer.

If the second or third model suits you better, we will say so on the first call.

Sector shapes the prompt set and the sources an engine trusts. Read our pages for FMCG, automotive, BFSI, consumer durables and B2B and industrial brands.

B2B buyers ask AI for suppliers, specifications and standards before they speak to a sales team. We build the prompt set from product specifications, use cases and compliance standards, test it on six engines and report on prompts that do not name your brand.

We work from Mumbai and serve Delhi NCR directly. See our AEO agency in Mumbai and AEO agency in Delhi NCR pages.

1. **Ask which session the reading came from.** A signed-in account in one city is weak evidence of what a buyer elsewhere sees. Ask whether measurement comes from a signed-out session run from India.
2. **Ask what the report contains.** It should name the prompts you are cited on, the prompts you lost, the content shipped that month and how that maps to Search Console and referral data.
3. **Ask who owns the content when the retainer ends.** Some agencies build on their own platform. Get written confirmation that the content and structured data become yours.
4. **Compare on prompt volume and content volume.** A ₹50,000 retainer that ships two restructured pages a month will not move a category. A ₹1,50,000 retainer that runs against 100 real prompts and ships fifteen pages might. Compare on that basis, not on the invoice.

We answer all four on a first call, about our own work. Our guide to choosing an AEO agency applies the same checks to every agency, and our ranked list of AEO agencies in India scores them on public evidence.
