Questions about AEO for beauty

What is AEO for beauty?

AEO for beauty brands means getting your products named when people ask AI which products suit their skin, hair or routine.

How is AEO different from SEO for beauty?

SEO earns a place in search results. AEO earns a place in the answer AI gives, which usually names only three or four options. Both matter; AEO measures whether you're named, how you're described and who is recommended instead.

How do you measure results?

With Answer Share: the percentage of your buyers' real questions in which AI names you, tracked across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot against the same question set.

Which markets do you work in?

Any. We test the questions your customers ask in the markets and languages you sell to, wherever they are.
