Answer Engine Optimization
Answer Engine Optimization Questionnaire Before We Quote.
An agency pitched you an AI visibility package last month. Nobody checked that your profile is unclaimed and your site has four pages. Now you’re paying for a program you didn’t need yet. We ask first: what you sell, what customers ask and what the assistants say about you today, before we quote.
- AEO sits on top of SEO. If the ranking basics are not in place, the questionnaire will tell us that, and we will point you there first.
- The most useful thing you can bring is the list of questions customers ask before they call. That is what the assistants are answering.
- Filling this in commits you to nothing. It gets you a straight answer on whether the work will pay, with the price in writing if it will.
What keeps the phone quiet
Why we ask first instead of quoting first.
Quoting a program nobody needs
Plenty of businesses are sold an AI visibility package when their profile is unclaimed and their site has four pages. The questionnaire catches that, and the honest answer is to fix the basics first, which is cheaper and moves more.
Rankings alone, reports alone
If the plan is rankings alone, reports alone, or just doing SEO, this is not the fit. Answer engines decide what gets shown, summarized, and trusted. That takes structure, clarity of intent, and consistent records, not blog volume.
Guessing what the assistants say
Most owners have never asked ChatGPT or Google's AI who to call for their own trade in their own town. The questionnaire asks you to, and the answer usually decides the conversation.
“BlakSheep was everything we needed and then some. They built us an amazing website, replied quickly to every question, and went above and beyond to get our site up and running as fast as possible. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an experienced, innovative marketing team.”
What you get
Built to book the job.
What you sell and where
Your services, the towns you actually serve, and what you do not do. Assistants fill gaps by guessing, so we need the edges stated plainly.
The questions customers ask
The five to ten things people ask before they call: cost, timing, whether something is safe, what happens first. These are the questions we would build answer pages for.
What AI says about you now
We ask you to run three prompts against the major assistants and paste what comes back. It shows whether you are named, described wrong, or absent.
Your current SEO and reviews
Whether the profile is claimed, how many reviews you have, whether your site ranks for anything, and who handles it. This decides whether AEO is next or whether ranking work comes first. Our SEO services
Your records
Every place your business name, address, phone, and hours appear. Conflicting data is the most common reason a model names someone else.
What a customer is worth
Roughly what a booked job or a new client is worth to you, so we can tell you honestly whether the work pays. If the math does not work, we say so.

The short answer
This answer engine optimization questionnaire is how we decide whether AEO will pay before either of us spends money. It takes about ten minutes: what you sell and where, what customers ask before calling, what assistants say about you, and your SEO and reviews. It is not a quote request, a shortcut past the 15-minute call, or a promise to take the work. If AEO is not right, we say so.
