◆ AEO / GEO for Lovable
Stop ranking on Google. Start being the answer.
60% of buyer research now happens inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude. They don't show 10 blue links — they show one answer, with citations. AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) is how you become that answer.
We build, rank and grow sites on Lovable — every day. The first independent SEO + AEO agency that uses Lovable itself. Every fix ships as a Lovable prompt, every CRM and landing page is built on the stack — no generalist agency tax.
◆ The problem
AI engines aren't Google. The rules changed.
Classic SEO is built around keywords and rankings. AEO is built around questions and citations. If your site is structured for Google search but ignored by AI engines, you're invisible to the channel that's actually growing.
- ChatGPT pulls from a small set of trusted sources per query
- Perplexity shows 4-6 citations — you're either there or you're not
- Gemini and Claude favour structured Q&A formats
- AI engines reward clear answer-first writing — not SEO fluff
- Brand mentions across the web are weighted heavily as trust signals
- Schema + citation hooks decide whether AI quotes you by name
◆ How we fix it
The 3-part AEO engineering system.
Same system we run for every Growth Plan client. Built around how Lovable sites are actually structured, so the patches drop straight into Lovable's chat.
Citation-ready content
Re-format every key page so the answer comes first, in 40-60 words, in the exact pattern AI engines lift verbatim. Plus question-led headings that match how people actually prompt.
Schema + structured Q&A
FAQPage, HowTo, Article and Organization schema wired correctly across the site. Q&A blocks that double as SEO content and machine-readable AI training data.
Brand-mention amplification
Get your brand named in the places AI engines crawl — directories, Reddit, Quora, niche publications, citation sites. The more you're mentioned, the more you're cited.
Lovable already gives you the foundation.
Lovable ships SSR so AI engines can actually read your pages, AEO meta tags out of the box, and clean semantic HTML. That's a head-start most stacks don't have. Bolt on the AEO strategy and you're ahead of 95% of competitors who still treat AI engines as an afterthought.
◆ Common questions
Quick answers.
What's the difference between SEO, AEO and GEO?+
SEO ranks you on Google. AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) and GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation) are the same discipline — getting cited by AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude. You need both. We do both.
How do I know if ChatGPT cites my site?+
Ask ChatGPT (with browsing on) the queries your buyers ask. Look at the citations panel. We track this monthly for Growth Plan clients across 50+ target queries and report which ones name you.
Does Lovable's built-in AEO meta cover this?+
It covers the technical layer — meta tags, OG tags, sitemap. AEO is also about how your content is written and structured. Lovable can't write your answers for you. That's the strategy layer.
How long until ChatGPT cites me?+
AI engines refresh their grounding data continuously. Pages structured correctly start appearing in citations within 2-6 weeks. Brand-mention work compounds over months.
