AEO Strategy gives you a complete roadmap for internal execution. You get the plan, specs, and playbook, then ship it yourself. AEO Partnership includes that same foundation but adds 2 months of hands-on support as you execute. We track results monthly, review content before it goes live, adjust priorities as AI systems evolve, and train your team through bi-weekly calls and direct Slack access. Choose Strategy if you want control and have dev capacity. Choose Partnership if you want ongoing guidance as you build this capability.

You get continuous visibility tracking, bi-weekly strategy calls to review progress and reprioritize based on what's working, content reviews before and after pages launch to ensure AI systems can parse them correctly, direct Slack access for quick questions and feedback without waiting for scheduled calls, team training workshops so your internal team develops AEO skills, and a quarterly business review to assess overall impact and plan next steps. You're not alone figuring out what's working. We're tracking, reviewing, and adapting alongside you.

Yes. The 6-month structure is designed to get you from baseline to execution with enough momentum to continue independently. Many teams extend on a rolling monthly basis at a reduced retainer rate after the initial engagement, especially if AI visibility is a long-term priority or if models are shifting quickly. Others graduate to quarterly check-ins. Some teams use the 6 months to build internal capability and then manage AEO themselves. The engagement is designed to give you options, not lock you in.

Your team handles technical implementation (dev work, CMS updates, page launches). We handle strategy, guidance, and quality control. Think of it as co-execution: we tell you what to build and why, review your work before it ships, track what's moving the needle, and adjust the roadmap as you learn. If you need us to handle implementation entirely (design, dev, content creation), that's a different scope. This partnership assumes you have internal resources and want expert guidance, not full outsourcing.

We don't just do the work for you and disappear. The partnership includes team training workshops where we teach your content and dev teams AEO principles, content review sessions where we explain why certain structures work better for AI interpretation, documentation of decisions and frameworks in your custom playbook so knowledge stays with you, and bi-weekly calls where we walk through real examples from your tracking data. By month 4, your team should understand how to evaluate content for AI readability, prioritize improvements without us, and adapt as models evolve. You're building a skill, not renting ours.
