The Challenge
The Problem
As an AEO consulting firm, we needed a website that demonstrates our methodology works. The old Wix site lacked structured data, had no schema markup, and content wasn't optimized for AI answer engines. We needed to prove our AEO expertise while competing with larger consultancies in AI search.
When executives ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or Google SGE about "AI strategy" or "AI training," we needed to be the definitive answer. But without proper AEO implementation, smaller firms like ours get lost behind enterprise consultancies with more brand recognition.
Key Requirements:
- Demonstrate AEO best practices in action
- Compete with IBM, Accenture, and Deloitte in AI search
- Position as the definitive answer for AI strategy queries
- Serve as a reference implementation for clients
- Migrate from Wix to modern tech stack with zero downtime
The Solution
We rebuilt this website (elevateaiconsulting.com) with AEO-first architecture, implementing every best practice we recommend to clients. Every technical decision, every schema markup, every content structure was designed with one goal: making our expertise the definitive answer when executives ask AI assistants about AI strategy, training, and implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is AEO and why does it matter for websites?
AEO, or Answer Engine Optimization, is the strategy of structuring content to be cited by generative AI models and chatbots (like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google SGE) to win the 'answer box' or generative summary. Unlike traditional SEO that focuses on keyword rankings, AEO optimizes for being the source that AI models cite when generating answers. This matters because AI search is becoming the primary way users find information, and being cited by AI models directly impacts brand visibility and authority.
How did this website achieve a 100/100 AEO score?
This website (elevateaiconsulting.com) achieved a perfect AEO score through comprehensive implementation of 11+ schema types (Organization, Person, Service, Event, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, CaseStudy, CreativeWork, Product, LocalBusiness, Website), TL;DR boxes on all service pages with phrases like 'Short Answer' and 'In Simple Terms', FAQ schemas on 10+ pages with 5-12 FAQs each, Event schemas optimized for Google Events and SGE, breadcrumb navigation on all service and case study pages, and canonical URLs with hreflang tags for multilingual support. Every feature was designed to make it easy for AI models to discover, understand, and cite the content.
What technical features contributed to the 99/100 SEO score?
The 99/100 SEO score was achieved through comprehensive meta tags on every page, canonical URLs preventing duplicate content, proper heading hierarchy (H1-H6), semantic HTML structure, mobile-first responsive design, fast loading times with Next.js static generation, image optimization with Next.js Image component, XML sitemap generation, robots.txt configuration, and security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options). The site also includes Google Analytics 4 integration, custom 404 and error pages, and comprehensive internal linking structure.
What schema types were implemented and why?
We implemented 11+ schema types across 353+ instances: Organization (global brand identity), Person (founder/CAIO profile), Service (all 6 service pages), Event (upcoming and past events), FAQPage (10+ pages), BreadcrumbList (all service/case study pages), CaseStudy (4 case studies), CreativeWork (4 case studies), Product (service offerings), LocalBusiness (contact page), and Website (global). Each schema type helps AI models understand context, relationships, and authority, making it easier for answer engines to cite our content as the definitive source.
How do TL;DR boxes improve AEO performance?
TL;DR boxes (labeled with 'Short Answer' or 'In Simple Terms') are AEO gold because Google's answer engines prioritize concise, direct answers. By explicitly labeling these sections with phrases like 'TL;DR' and 'Short Answer,' we signal to AI models that this is the definitive summary they should cite. These boxes appear on all 6 service pages on this website, creating a consistent pattern that answer engines learn to recognize and cite. The format provides clear, structured answers that AI models can easily extract and present to users.
What results has this website achieved since launch?
Since launch, this website (elevateaiconsulting.com) has achieved 85% positive sentiment in AI search results (up from baseline), Position 1 visibility in Google SGE for key queries like 'executive AI training' and 'AI strategy consulting,' 78% citation rate in ChatGPT responses for AI bootcamp and training queries, zero downtime migration from Wix to Next.js with full feature parity, and improved organic search rankings across target keywords. The comprehensive AEO implementation has positioned Elevate AI Consulting as the definitive answer when executives ask AI assistants about AI strategy, training, and implementation.
What security measures were implemented on this website?
This website includes comprehensive security measures: rate limiting (3 requests/minute for contact forms, 20/minute for API endpoints), input sanitization (XSS prevention, SSRF protection, HTML escaping), security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy), IP validation with secure extraction handling Cloudflare, Vercel, and standard proxies, custom error pages (404, error, global-error), and encrypted API communications. All user inputs are validated and sanitized before processing, and download URLs are validated to prevent SSRF attacks.
