AEO, or answer-engine optimisation, is the work of becoming the source an AI assistant cites when a Bristol buyer asks it who to use. It builds on the same entities, structured data and third-party corroboration as strong local SEO, aimed at the passage a model quotes rather than only the link a person clicks. We run it for Bristol businesses and the South West, senior-led, with public pricing from £1,500 a month. Rogue Logic is based in Bristol, so you can have the team in the room when it helps.
The answer is the new shortlist.
Buyers start with a question, not a search box
More Bristol buyers open ChatGPT, Perplexity or Google's AI, ask who to use, and act on the names that come back. If you are not named, you are not on the list.
The answer resolves before the click
For a growing share of local queries the AI answer settles it on the page. We work to be the source it draws that answer from, and the South West.
Local intent still decides it
An assistant weighs location, sector and corroboration. We make your Bristol relevance and your credentials legible, so the answer points to you rather than a directory.

Can you guarantee we appear in ChatGPT for Bristol searches?
No, and anyone who promises it is guessing. We move the inputs the models actually use, entities, structured data and corroboration, and report the share of answer honestly, up or down.
Is this just local SEO with a new name?
It shares the foundation, but the target is different: the quoted passage in an AI answer, not only the clicked link in a list. It runs alongside local SEO rather than replacing it.
Which assistants do you optimise for?
ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude as standard, with others added where your buyers use them.
You are Bristol-based. Does that help our AEO?
It helps the relationship, not the ranking. The citation work is the same wherever you are, but being local means we can sit in the room to plan it when that is useful.
