Answer engine optimization (AEO) is the work that gets your business named when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google’s AI answers who to hire. It stands on the same foundation as SEO: a website engines can read, a complete Google Business Profile, and a name, address and phone number that match everywhere.
AEO is not a separate product. It runs inside the SEO plan, because the signals that rank you in Google are the same ones an AI assistant checks before it recommends you.
Not sure it’s the right fit? Ask me on the form and I’ll tell you where your profile, website and listings disagree, and whether that matters for your business.
Four stages. The first two run in the early months alongside your SEO setup. The last two continue for as long as we work together.

Website bundles include the site itself plus hosting, updates, backups, security and your edits. SEO runs month to month; websites have a twelve month minimum, then month to month.
Not sure which you need? Tell me what the business does and where you want to show up. I’ll tell you straight, even if the answer is the cheaper option.
That’s me, get a quote
AEO is the same work that makes a site trustworthy to Google in the first place: accurate structured data, content that answers the question it claims to answer, and business details that match wherever they appear. That matters even more with an AI assistant, because anything vague, contradictory or overstated becomes a reason to name someone else.
Because AEO rides on SEO, the same honest timelines apply: map and local results usually move within two to three months, and organic results take three to twelve. Nobody can promise when an assistant will start naming you. More on the local side is on the local SEO services page, and reviews are handled by Review Management.
Thanks Mike! Our new website looks great! We appreciate the time you spent tending to meet our needs and give us something simple enough for us to keep up to date while also looking fantastic!
Mike built and designed a new fresh website for our non profit organization at an affordable price and very timely. I appreciated how much he took on for us in regards to writing copy, organizing a calendar and setting up forms. Definitely recommend!
Northview did a great job at really listening to our needs and giving us guidance on where to take our website. I would recommend and use again!
Mike has been great to work with! The website he built is awesome, he communicates very well and completed the work in a timely manner. 10/10!
Mike at North View Digital is fantastic to work with! He always keeps our website looking fresh and professional, and he’s always prompt and responsive when we need updates or changes. We’re so grateful for everything he’s done for our organization. Highly recommend North View Digital!
I asked Mike to build me a website, and he impressed me right from the start. On top of that, he also provides SEO and marketing support, which has been a huge help for my business. It’s great to have someone local who truly understands the Maine market. Thanks again, Mike!
Mike did a fantastic job creating the website for my business at a reasonable price. He was very professional, responsive and was great at answering all of my questions. I highly recommend Mike as he knows what he is doing and is local with lots of experience.
I was looking for the best Maine web design company who could also help me with SEO, NorthView Digital was the perfect fit. They were quick, professional, and knowledgeable!
We have been using NorthView Digital for over four years now. We are a very small non-profit with only three employees. Mike is always very responsive to any of our requests. He stays on top of our website for us. We can not say enough about the value we receive from having Mike handling our website.
AEO is the work that makes your business easy for AI assistants to find, understand and repeat. When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity or Google’s AI answers who to hire, the engine builds its reply from sources it trusts. AEO is about becoming one of them.
SEO gets you ranked in a list of links. AEO gets your business pulled out as the direct answer, and GEO (generative engine optimization) gets you cited inside an AI-written response. They are layers rather than rivals, and all three stand on the same foundation.
For local questions it leans on your Google Business Profile, directories, reviews and your website, and favors businesses whose details agree across all of them. Those signals are winnable, and a small Maine business can beat a national brand there.
No, and neither can anyone else. There is no ranking system to buy into and no submission form. What can be done is make your business the clearest, most consistent and best-evidenced answer available.
No, and I would be wary of anyone who promises to. There is no trustworthy data set for AI answers, no volumes and no rankings. What you get is a clear record of the work done on your site and listings.
No. AEO runs inside the SEO plan rather than as its own line item, because it is the same work aimed at a second surface. SEO is $500 a month alongside a NorthView Brochure site, $600 with a Growth site, or from $400 a month on your current site, and it runs month to month.
Tell me what the business does and where you want to be found, and I will tell you where your profile, website and listings disagree, and what to fix first.
