Where they were: zero. Where they are: 253,500 AI citations in 60 days.
April 7, 2026 this client had nothing: no traffic, no rankings, no presence in AI answers. Sixty days of our hyper-optimization playbook (page-by-page rewrites, AEO content mapped to real buyer questions, internal links retuned weekly), and the charts below show where they ended up. Client name confidential, the same courtesy you'd receive.

Notice the shape of both charts. Not a lucky spike from one viral page. Dozens of pages, each answering one buyer question, each picked up and quoted over and over. That is what compounding looks like, and it is the same system we run for every Essential, Expert, and Executive client.

Questions buyers ask. Plain answers.
What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of getting your business cited by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode when buyers ask for recommendations. It combines structured content that answers specific questions, schema markup, consistent business data across directories, and press coverage that AI engines treat as trust signals.
How much does AEO cost?
Agency AEO retainers typically run $2,000 to $7,000 per month in 2026. Subscribe PR’s Expert tier is $3,995 per month and includes full website optimization, 60 targeted blog posts monthly, backlink building, Google Business Profile optimization, niche landing pages, and tracking of 100 prompts across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity.
How long does it take to show up in AI answers?
From a cold start, expect the first AI citations in 60 to 120 days. AI engines need to crawl your updated content, corroborate it across independent sources, and refresh their retrieval indexes. Perplexity often picks up changes within days, ChatGPT search in 2 to 6 weeks, and Google AI Mode follows your organic rankings.
What is the difference between SEO and AEO?
SEO earns rankings in Google’s blue links. AEO earns citations inside AI generated answers, where a growing share of buying decisions now happen. The work overlaps (content, schema, authority), but AEO adds answer formatted pages, entity consistency across directories and reviews, and press placements that AI engines use to verify you are legitimate.
Do you require long term contracts?
No. Subscribe PR bills monthly and you can cancel with 30 days written notice. We recommend six months because that is how long compounding takes, and a six month commitment on Expert or Executive includes The Authority Sprint at no charge, but the work product (placements, content, reports) is visible from the first two weeks.
