Your AEO strategy is the roadmap for building AI visibility over 3-6 months. Here's how we approach it and what to expect at each stage.
AEO strategy is the planned sequence of actions that builds your AI visibility over time. Unlike traditional SEO, AEO can show measurable improvements in 30-90 days when done correctly.
Phase 1 — Foundation (Month 1): Technical setup, schema markup, GBP optimization, NAP audit, data aggregator submissions, baseline prompt test.
Phase 2 — Authority Building (Month 2): FAQ page creation, citation expansion, E-E-A-T signals, GBP refresh, prompt testing to measure progress.
Phase 3 — Dominance (Month 3): Topical content clusters, competitor gap analysis, press/PR, entity optimization, Share of Voice report.
Phase 4+ — Maintenance (Ongoing): Monthly prompt monitoring, new citations, content updates, GBP refresh, monthly SOV report.
Month 1: Foundation in place. Month 2: First measurable SOV improvements (10-20% increase). Month 3: Significant visibility gains (30-50% SOV improvement). Month 6: Dominant visibility in most local markets.
