What you get
What is Webflow AEO?
Webflow AEO (answer engine optimization) is the work of shaping a Webflow site so AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity can read it, understand it and cite it. It means clear answers near the top of each page, facts with sources, schema in the page code and content that loads without JavaScript.
Answer-first pages
Each key page opens with a short, direct answer to the question it targets. AI tools can quote a clear answer much more easily than a long intro.
Content in the server HTML
Your words, FAQs and schema live in the HTML Webflow sends, not added later by scripts, so crawlers that skip JavaScript still see them.
Schema that names you
Service, FAQ and breadcrumb data, tied to one clear organization record, tell AI tools who you are, what you do and where you work.
Stats with sources
We add real numbers and link to where they came from. Research on generative search found this kind of content gets surfaced more often.
Matching business facts
Your name, services, service areas and phone number match across your site and profiles, so AI tools don't mix you up with someone else.
AI visibility checks
We ask the major AI tools the questions your customers ask, and track when your business shows up and what they say about it.
How it works
How we make a Webflow site easy for AI to cite
- 1We test the prompts your customers would type into ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity, and note who gets named.
- 2We check your pages with JavaScript turned off, since that is closer to what most AI crawlers see.
- 3We rewrite key pages to lead with plain answers, add facts with sources and build real FAQ sections.
- 4We add schema in Webflow Page settings and link related pages so your topics connect clearly.
- 5We re-test each month and keep improving the pages that matter most.
Why it matters: a study led by Princeton University researchers, presented at KDD 2024, found that methods like adding statistics and citing sources can raise a page's visibility in AI-generated answers by up to 40%.
Our AEO work does not need a Webflow Enterprise plan. You own every page and every word we write.
Proof before you book
The kind of proof AI tools look for
AI answers lean on trust signals like reviews, awards and a long track record. We have 138 five-star Google reviews, won Best of the Best Website Design 2026 and have built brands since 2010, and we help you show your own proof just as clearly.

Common questions
AI search questions, answered.
What is the difference between SEO and AEO?
SEO helps you rank in Google's list of links. AEO helps AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity pick your business when they write an answer. Both rest on good content, clean code and schema. AEO leans harder on direct answers, cited facts and business details that match everywhere.
Do AI crawlers read JavaScript?
Most do not. A Vercel study found that crawlers from OpenAI, Anthropic and Perplexity fetch pages but do not run JavaScript, while Gemini uses Google's crawler, which does. So anything important, like your services, FAQs and schema, needs to be in the HTML that Webflow serves.
Is Webflow AEO the same as your AEO service?
No. Webflow AEO is Webflow's own tool set for Enterprise customers, with AI visibility analytics and agents that suggest fixes. Our AEO service works on any Webflow site plan. We do the research, writing, schema and testing for you, and we can work alongside Webflow AEO if you have it.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will mention my business?
No one can. AI tools change how they pick sources, and answers vary from one question to the next. What we can do is remove the reasons they skip you: missing answers, hidden content, weak proof and mixed-up business facts. Then we track how often you show up.
How much does Webflow AEO cost?
Two parts: your Webflow plan is paid to Webflow (webflow.com/pricing); our fee depends on scope and comes in writing after a 30-minute call. AEO can run on its own or alongside SEO in one month-to-month plan, and you keep all the content we create.
