An AEO agency that ships the answer, not the audit

Q: What is answer engine optimization?

A: It is the work of becoming the source an AI assistant cites when someone asks a question in your category. Sophyx runs it as a done for you engagement: we find the answers that name a competitor, correct the sources behind them, and publish the correction on your own domain.

Answer engine optimization is the work of becoming the source an AI assistant cites when someone asks a question in your category. Sophyx runs it as a done for you engagement: we test the real questions, identify every answer that names a competitor or states a wrong fact about you, write the correction, and publish it with the structured data an engine needs to quote it accurately.

Every answer captured as text, so the before and after is readable
Corrections published on your domain, not held inside a platform
You approve every draft. Nothing auto-publishes.

Done for you, with your approval on every draft before it publishes. Canadian company, Canadian hosting. Your data stays in your own silo, with no cross-tenant learning.

Being mentioned is not the same as being cited

An answer engine returns one answer and a short list of sources. Everything hangs on which sources it trusts enough to quote. A brand can be widely mentioned across the web and still never be the citation, because nothing it published is clear enough, verifiable enough or structured enough for the engine to lean on.

The engine cites a directory listing about you instead of your own page.

It cites a competitor's comparison page, and uses their framing of you.

It cites you, and repeats a fact that stopped being true two years ago.

What a done for you AEO engagement delivers

Every platform in this category ends at a recommendation you still have to implement. Read from each vendor’s own published pages on 19 September 2026, none of them can put a page live on your domain. That is where our work ends.

Corrected pages written as direct answers, live on your own domain

FAQ and Organization structured data an engine can verify against

Third-party sources reviewed, and corrected where we can reach them

A generated llms.txt and robots.txt pointing crawlers at clean content

The prompt set re-run on a cycle with the citations tracked

White-label reporting if you are running this for a client

How the engagement runs

About 30 minutes to set up and about an hour a month to run. You approve every draft before it goes live. Nothing publishes on your behalf without a yes.

1
Agree the questions
Real buyer questions in your category. We do not pad the set with prompts containing your brand name, because winning those proves nothing.
2
Capture the answers and the citations
Not just whether you appear. What was said about you, who was named instead, and which sources the engine actually quoted.
3
Correct the sources
Your pages first, because those we control. Then the structured data. Then the third-party pages the engine leaned on, where they can be reached.
4
Publish on your domain
Draft, approval, live. The page is yours and stays yours if you ever stop working with us.
5
Re-run and report
Same questions, same cycle, answers compared. Coverage, accuracy and citation, reported as text you can read rather than a score you have to trust.

Start scoped, then run it monthly

What we guarantee

Publish everything we write. If no major AI assistant has sent you a measured visit in 14 days, we keep working at no cost. If you are not showing up in at least one AI engine after 30 days, you get your money back.

Who this is built for

Founder-led teams

Owners get the calls an assistant was sending to someone else, without hiring anybody to chase them. About 30 minutes to set up and about an hour a month to run. No new hire, and no retainer whose output you cannot read.

Agencies and consultants

Agencies add a line their clients can see in the calendar, across every client, without adding headcount. White-label reporting, every engine on every tier, and a weekly working session with our technical team so delivery never sits on one person.

In their words

What the people who run this say

I've been spending more time with Sophyx lately, and one thing I really like is that it does not just tell you “AI search matters.” It actually shows you where your brand stands. For years, SEO was mostly about ranking on Google. That still matters. But now businesses also need to ask: “Does AI understand my brand well enough to recommend it?” That is where tools like Sophyx become very useful. AI search is still early, but I think this is where a lot of visibility work is heading.

Questions people ask before they buy

What does an AEO agency do?

An AEO agency works on whether an answer engine cites you. That means auditing the questions buyers ask, finding the ones where the answer is wrong or names someone else, and then correcting the underlying sources: your pages, your structured data, and the third party pages the engine reads.

Is AEO the same as GEO?

They overlap heavily and most teams use them interchangeably. AEO is usually framed around direct answers and citations, GEO around generative engines specifically. The practical work is the same, so we do not sell them as two services.

How is this different from your AEO services comparison page?

That page compares the market so you can decide between a service, a consultant and self serve, including options that are not us. This page is the service itself. If you are still deciding, read that one first.

What is delivered in the first month?

A baseline on a fixed prompt set, the list of answers that currently name a competitor, the first corrections written and published, and structured data live on the pages we touched. You approve each draft before it ships.

Can you work alongside our existing SEO agency?

Usually yes, and it tends to go well because the two jobs no longer overlap much. They own position in a ranked list, we own citation inside an answer. The structured data we generate is a file your team reviews before it goes live, so nothing lands on the site unseen.
