Surface.
Your website is the first employee an AI buyer's agent ever meets. Make it a good hire.
The public interface. Read by humans, buyer agents, and answer engines. Child services live under this family slug: surface/aeo-websites, surface/customer-portals, and the rest.
Surface is Layer 01 of four.
Every service we offer maps to one of four layers. The Surface owns Websites & customer portals. Each service in this family uses the slug surface, then its own name.
The membrane buyers and agents touch first.
Surface is Layer 01 of four. Nothing sits below it publicly. Voice gives it something consistent to say. The Kernel gives it clean data to say it with.
An agent that cannot parse your site invents its own version of you. This family is the work that stops that.
The process.
Discover · citation audit
Query the engines your buyers use. Log whether you appear, how you are described, and who gets cited instead.
Expose · schema + answers
Restructure pages so every claim is machine-legible. Schema, answer-first openings, one fact per sentence where a model needs one.
Wire · portals + conversational UI
Logged-in surfaces and query interfaces that read the Kernel, not a brochure CMS.
Operate · citation report
Monthly visibility against the questions your buyers actually ask.

What makes a website AEO-native?
Schema on every meaningful page, answer-first copy, consistent entity naming, and pages organized around the questions buyers actually ask. Architecture, not a plugin.
Do we need a rebuild or a retrofit?
The audit settles it. A retrofit works when the content is sound. A rebuild wins when the information architecture hides your answers.
How do you measure citations?
We query the major answer engines on a schedule and log whether you appear, how you are described, and who gets cited instead.
What happens to our SEO?
It stays. AEO is built on the same foundations search engines reward: clean structure, fast pages, real answers.

The diagnostic starts where your buyers do: we walk your live site the way an AI engine reads it, then spend 90 minutes showing you exactly where the surface layer leaks. No slides — just your pages on the screen and a fix list in priority order.
