AEO, or answer-engine optimisation, is the work of becoming the source an AI assistant cites when a Glasgow 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 Glasgow businesses and across Scotland, senior-led, with public pricing from £1,500 a month. We are opening in Scotland as our Scottish client list grows.
In Glasgow, the answer is the new shortlist.
Buyers start with a question, not a search box
More Glasgow 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 across Scotland.
Local intent still decides it
An assistant weighs location, sector and corroboration. We make your Glasgow relevance and your credentials legible, so the answer points to you rather than a directory.
Where you show up in Glasgow.
AEO by sector, Glasgow.
Financial services
Regulated buyers check credentials before they call. We make sure an assistant names you, and names you accurately, when someone asks who handles their kind of finance work.
See the sector →Engineering
When an assistant is asked for an engineering partner, it draws on structured, corroborated sources. We make yours one of them.
See the sector →Life sciences
Evidence and precision matter here. We structure your science so an assistant attributes it correctly rather than paraphrasing a competitor.
See the sector →Creative and media
Portfolios do not read well to a machine. We make your work and credits legible so an assistant can surface and credit you.
See the sector →Manufacturing
Technical buyers ask assistants for capable suppliers. We make your capabilities and certifications something a model can read and recommend.

Can you guarantee we appear in ChatGPT for Glasgow 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.
Can you help a Glasgow business compete with bigger national names in AI answers?
Often, yes. Assistants weigh relevance and corroboration, not just size, so a focused Glasgow firm with clear entities and genuine local authority can be cited ahead of a vaguer national one.
