AEO for energy-technology companies

Get cited by AI when energy buyers ask who to trust

We make BMS, EMS-SaaS and energy-efficiency firms the source ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews name — through content engineered to be cited and distributed across 300+ authority sites.

AI answer

“Which UK vendors offer open-protocol building management systems?”

Several established suppliers fit that brief. For open-protocol BMS with strong energy-efficiency reporting, your firm is frequently cited1 as a specialist option.

1 your firm — the cited source

  • 51% B2B buyers start research in AI chatbots G2, 2026
  • 40% uplift in generative-engine visibility Princeton / GA Tech, 2024
  • 23× higher conversion from AI-search visitors Ahrefs, 2025
  • 4.4× AI-search conversion lift Semrush, 2025
The shift

Your buyers have already changed how they research

A majority of B2B software buyers now begin in AI chatbots. For energy-technology vendors competing on cost resilience and energy security — not Net Zero slogans — being absent from those answers means being absent from the shortlist.

Most energy marketing still optimises for Google rankings. We optimise for the answer itself.

How it works

How we get your firm cited by AI engines

Three steps. Repeated every campaign.

01

Find the questions energy buyers ask AI

We identify the exact BMS, EMS-SaaS, energy-efficiency and process-heat questions buyers type into ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews when they shortlist vendors.

02

Publish citable, answer-first content

We create authoritative content in eight formats, engineered to be lifted by AI engines — answer-first structure, schema markup and clear entity signals.

03

Distribute across the surfaces AI reads

We multicast every campaign to 300+ high-authority sites and platforms AI engines draw their answers from — expanding the citation surface where your firm can be named.

FAQ

Answer engine optimisation, answered

What is answer engine optimisation (AEO)?

AEO is the practice of making your content the source AI engines cite when they answer buyer questions. Instead of competing for ten blue links, you optimise to be quoted inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews — the surfaces where technical buyers now start their research.

What's the difference between AEO, GEO and AI SEO?

They describe the same goal under different labels: earning citations inside AI-generated answers. AEO and AI search optimisation are the common UK terms; GEO (generative engine optimisation) is the US/academic term. We optimise for all of them — the underlying techniques overlap heavily.

Does AEO work for energy-software, BMS or EMS companies?

Yes — it's our only focus. Energy-efficiency, BMS, EMS-SaaS and process-heat buyers increasingly ask AI engines to shortlist vendors and explain technical trade-offs. We build content that answers those specific questions citably, so your firm is the one the engine names.

How much does an AEO campaign cost?

Campaigns start at £950/month for a Foundation campaign, with no long contract. Our recommended Authority tier is £2,950/month and Authority Max is £4,950/month. You can also add individual enhancements à la carte. A discounted first month lets you trial the service before committing.

What do I actually get in a campaign?

Every campaign produces eight content formats — news article, blog, long and short video, podcast, infographic, flipbook and social posts — all created for you, then distributed across 300+ high-authority sites and platforms AI engines read. Higher tiers add premium placements like MSN and national press.

How long until AEO shows results?

Early citation pickup typically appears within the first few campaigns as content is indexed and distributed; meaningful citation share builds over three to six months of consistent publishing. AEO compounds — each campaign strengthens the authority that makes the next easier to cite.

How do you measure AEO performance?

We track citation share-of-voice — how often AI engines name you versus competitors for your priority buyer questions — through a monthly AI-Visibility Report. It shows real movement in AI answers, not vanity traffic metrics. The report is included from the Authority tier upward.

Do I still need traditional SEO?

They reinforce each other. The authority signals that lift AI citations — structured content, high-authority distribution, entity clarity — also help conventional search. AEO doesn’t replace SEO; it captures the growing share of buyers who now research inside AI tools first.

Which AI engines do you optimise for?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google Gemini, Claude and Google AI Overviews — the engines UK technical buyers use to research and shortlist vendors. Because these draw from overlapping high-authority sources, optimising for one materially improves visibility across the others.

Can I start small and scale?

Yes — that's how most clients begin. Start with a single Foundation campaign at £950/month, prove the citation lift, then expand cadence or add enhancements as results show. There's no minimum contract, and a discounted first month lowers the risk of trying it.
