The AEO Engine

AI Optimization for Service Businesses

When someone asks ChatGPT for help, does it recommend you or your competitor?

Every day, your potential customers ask AI for recommendations. Only 3–4 businesses get named. Everyone else is invisible.

AI ENGINE MONITOR

PROMPT:

THIS IS WHAT YOUR CLIENTS SEE

Your competitor is coming up by name.

You're not in the answer.

ChatGPT recommending a business by name, the competitor gets the call, not you

This is the conversation happening right now in your market.

A potential client describes their problem to ChatGPT. Three or four businesses come back by name. They call the first one. The job is booked.

You never knew the call was made.

The difference between the businesses that get named and the ones that don't isn't quality, experience, or price. It's a specific set of signals that AI uses to decide who to recommend, and most businesses have never built them deliberately.

That's the gap. That's what we fix.

AI Optimisation

AI doesn't rank. AI recommends. It's scanning thousands of signals to decide who to recommend by name. Different game. Different rules. AI is playing chess.

The Person Behind the Platform

I'm Jerry Jariwalla.
I built
The AEO Engine.

I'm Jerry Jariwalla. I built The AEO Engine. Here's the honest version of how it happened.

When I first tried to build an AEO service, it didn't work. The methodology didn't exist. Nobody had tested the actual signals rigorously enough to find out what moved the needle, and I included myself in that. I applied what I knew from 22 years of digital marketing and assumed the same principles would transfer. They didn't. Not directly.

So I went deep. 18 months. Not reading articles. Building things, running tests, watching what changed AI responses and what didn't. Finding where the SEO logic held and where it broke.

What came out of those 18 months is the CITE framework. And The AEO Engine is how it gets deployed at scale.

In 2005 I was running 100 people and vans across the UK on custom algorithmic infrastructure I built myself. When AI arrived, I didn't see a chatbot. I saw the next layer of infrastructure. The CITE framework isn't borrowed from anyone. It was built from a failure I refused to accept.

"Within 90 days our practice was appearing in AI responses we had never optimised for. Patients now tell us they found us through ChatGPT. Nothing else in our marketing comes close."

The Methodology

What Actually Triggers a Recommendation?

We call it The CITE Framework.
Four levers. Eighteen months of testing against the signals that actually move AI recommendations.

WHY IT MATTERS: YOU

Citations.

AI systems weigh who cites you more than who links to you. We engineer verifiable mentions across the outlets the models actually ingest.
