How does the aeo process work?

How the work runs, from first conversation to ongoing refinement.

01

See where you stand

We check how you currently show up across search results, AI answers, and the wider content around answer-engine discoverability.

02

Map the opportunities

Content structure, technical fixes, and topic gaps get ranked by what's realistic to do and what's actually worth doing.

03

Make the changes

Content, page structure, schema, and internal linking get updated together, because doing them piecemeal rarely moves anything.

04

Track and adjust

We watch visibility move, fix what stalls, and adapt as search and AI surfaces keep shifting underneath us.

Why choose Microdigm for aeo?

If you are weighing us against another agency, this is where we tend to differ.

We work both fronts: classic rankings, and the AI answers that increasingly sit above them.
Structured data, clean markup, and a sane content hierarchy are part of the job, not an upsell.
You get the reasoning behind every recommendation, so your team can carry the work forward alone.
