We are an AEO agency in Kraków, in the EU. We turn definitions, steps and questions into blocks that stand alone, add structured data and check whether the page starts being quoted. Check which pages to rework Scope and pricing ** A passage that stands alone The definition, the steps and the answer to each question sit in separate blocks. An answer engine lifts one block, not the whole page. ** No retainer, a quote per page You approve the list of pages and the quote before we write. Text costs the same as ordinary copy, with no surcharge for AI. ![An article split into a definition, a list of steps and questions with answers, and an answer engine that quotes the definition and names the page as its source](https://justidea.agency/assets/ill-optymalizacja-tresci-ai-fragmenty-en.svg) ![ChatGPT](https://justidea.agency/assets/znak-chatgpt.svg) ![Gemini](https://justidea.agency/assets/znak-gemini.svg) ![Perplexity](https://justidea.agency/assets/znak-perplexity.svg) ![AI Overviews in Google](https://justidea.agency/assets/znak-google.svg) 54% of the 143 pages that four AI engines cited for six questions about choosing an agency in Poland were articles: rankings, guides, round-ups and FAQs Trusted by ![LPP](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/lpp-logo-2-b64d3a02.svg) ![House](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/logo-house-c706eeae.svg) ![Toyota](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/toyota-logo-pasek.svg) ![Fame MMA](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/fame-ffb4e0d0.webp) ![Surf Inc.](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/surfinc-logo-pasek.webp) ![LyoFood](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/lyo-cb899d46.webp) ![ExpertSender](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/expert-ca00548d.webp) ![Purinova](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/purinova-217da6ab.webp) ![Mennica Gdańska](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/mennica-98166c12.webp) ![Group IB](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/group-ib-b711171e.webp) ![Smart Kids Planet](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/smart-kids-151311c5.webp) ![SuperSonic](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/supersonic-a35404fe.webp) ![Wierzynek](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/wierzynek-1-d027e7cc.webp) ![RegoBis](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/regobis-a8b446e3.webp) Technology partners ![Google Premier Partner](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/google-premier-partner-d0211fa8.svg) ![Microsoft Advertising Elite Partner](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/microsoft-2025-300x104-9b4dfffa.png) ![Meta Business Partner](https://justidea.agency/obrazy/meta-partner-300x172-8802cc64.webp) The problem ## Why does a good page not become the answer? An answer engine does not read a page from top to bottom. It looks for a passage that answers the question and checks it against what it knows about the topic from other sources. A page written around one keyword rarely passes that test, and it costs clicks: Ahrefs compared 300,000 keywords and found that when an AI Overview sits above the results, the page in first position gets a 58% lower click-through rate on average (desktop, December 2025). These are the three causes we see most often in content audits. ** ### The answer is buried in a wall of text The definition sits in the middle of the third paragraph and the steps are described in sentences. There is nothing for the engine to lift, so it quotes a page that gave the same answer in two sentences. ** ### The keyword is repeated twenty times Repeating a keyword tells an engine nothing new about the topic. In the GEO study that tactic scored worse than leaving the text unchanged. ** ### Related concepts are missing An article about whole-bean coffee that never mentions roast level or brewing method looks shallow to a model. A competitor that covers them gets the citation. Definition ### What is answer engine optimization? **Answer engine optimization (AEO) is** the work of shaping a page so that an answer engine, such as Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT or Perplexity, can lift a passage from it and give it to the user as the answer. It joins semantic SEO, which describes a topic through its concepts and the relations between them, with form: the answer first, one question per heading, lists and tables that make sense alone, and structured data where it describes what is visible. In the GEO study by researchers from Princeton and IIT Delhi, adding quotations, statistics and sources raised visibility in generative answers by up to 40%. Google adds that AI Overviews need no special technique, so we work on the same principles as for helpful content written for people. Sources: [Aggarwal et al., GEO: Generative Engine Optimization, KDD 2024](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.09735) · [Google, AI features and your website](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/ai-features) It is not writing for robots A text that an engine quotes easily is also easier for people to read: short paragraphs, named concepts, the answer first. We do not write a separate version for machines. It is not a FAQ pasted onto every page Questions with answers make sense where customers ask them. Added everywhere, they break up the page and repeat what already stands above. It is work on specific pages An audit, fixes and new articles, billed by the character or by the piece. Each page comes back with a note of what we changed and why. Page types ## Which pages do we rework for answer engines? In our reading of 143 pages cited by four AI engines for six questions about choosing an agency in Poland, articles made up 54% and service pages and agency directory listings 24%. So we work on both, and each type has its own form and its own price. Which pages do we rework for answer engines? | Page type | What we change | When it makes sense | | --- | --- | --- | | How-to and guide articles | Definition up front, steps as a list, questions with answers, sources and dates | Customers ask how something works or how to choose | | Old posts with traffic | Updated data, new concepts, a split into passages, a new review date | The post ranks in Google, but engines skip it | | Category descriptions | A description matched to buyers' queries by comparing vectors, plus the questions buyers ask | The store has categories with traffic and a short or copied description | | Ranking articles | Criteria up front, a table, a short reason for each entry | Customers ask the engines which product or company to choose | | Service pages | A clear service name, scope, price and answers to pre-purchase questions | An engine describes your offer vaguely or not at all | Scope ## Answer engine optimization: what do we do with the text? A project can include six elements. For one article three are usually enough; for a whole blog or store all six apply. ### Semantic content audit We check which concepts related to the topic the text skips, where the answer disappears inside a paragraph, and which pages of the site say the same thing. ### Glossary of site concepts We name things the same way across the site and describe how they connect: a product with its use, a service with the problem it solves. ### Answer blocks Definitions, step lists, comparison tables and questions with answers in separate blocks, each understandable without reading the rest of the page. ### Structured data The author, the article, the questions and the products described in a format the search engine reads directly. Only where it describes what is visible on the page. ### Refreshing old content Posts from years ago get current data, missing concepts and a new structure. It often works sooner than a new article written from scratch. ### New expert content Articles written from the start for your customers' questions, with data, sources and an opinion from an expert in your company that a model will not find anywhere else. How we work ## From a list of pages to answers that engines quote We start with what you already have. Fixing a good post costs less than writing a new one, and it often works sooner. 1. 1 ### Customer questions first week We collect the questions your customers ask in Google and in AI engines and match them to pages of the site. A question with no page is a topic for a new article. 2. 2 ### Audit of existing pages first two weeks For each question we look for the passage on your site that answers it. We check which posts and categories have traffic, what they lack and which pages compete for the same question. 3. 3 ### List of changes and a quote first two weeks For each page we assign the scope of work and a cost: a fix, a rewrite or a new article. You approve the list before we start writing. 4. 4 ### Fixes and new articles as planned We write, add the structured data and hand over each text with a note of what changed. We publish it ourselves or pass on the finished files. 5. 5 ### Checking the effect after 4-8 weeks We check whether the reworked pages appear in answers to the questions on the list and how traffic from Google changed. What we learn goes into the next batch. Measuring results ## How do we check that a reworked page works? We ask the same questions before and after the change. Five indicators show whether the text reaches the answers and whether the answers bring people to the site. How do we check that a reworked page works? | Indicator | Where the data comes from | What it tells you | | --- | --- | --- | | Citations of the reworked pages | The source lists under answers in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews | Whether an engine names your page as a source | | Positions and impressions in Google | Google Search Console, queries assigned to the page | Whether the page gained in classic search | | Traffic from AI engines | GA4, referrals from chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai and gemini.google.com | Whether the answers bring people to the site | | Topic coverage | Comparing the concepts in the text with those on pages the engines cite | What the article still lacks | | Pages competing for the same question | Search Console, several addresses for one query | Whether the site is taking traffic from itself | In numbers ## Why rework service pages and not just the blog? Every month we ask four AI engines the questions that customers in Poland ask when choosing a marketing agency. In the measurement of 21 September 2026 the engines most often reached for articles, but almost one citation in four went to a service page or an agency directory listing. 54% of cited pages were articles: rankings, guides, round-ups and answers to questions 24% were service pages and agency directory listings, so a service description can reach the answer too 40% is the most extra visibility that quotations, statistics and sources in a text gave in the GEO study Client reviews ## What clients write about working with us Ratings of JustIdea from three public profiles, including Clutch, which verifies each reviewer in a conversation before publishing. It is also an example of content that engines like to quote: specific, signed and checkable. 4.96 / 5 weighted average of 224 reviews across three platforms. Clients gave them, and each site links to the profile with the full text of every review. [Read the reviews](https://justidea.agency/en/justidea-reviews/) [![Google](https://justidea.agency/assets/logo-google.svg) 4.97 / 5 156 reviews on our Google Business Profile See the profile](https://www.google.com/search?q=JustIdea+Agency+Krak%C3%B3w+opinie)[![Facebook](https://justidea.agency/assets/logo-facebook.svg) 5.0 / 5 33 reviews on our Facebook page See the profile](https://www.facebook.com/justidea.agency/reviews)[![Clutch](https://justidea.agency/assets/logo-clutch.svg) 4.9 / 5 35 B2B reviews, each verified in a call with the client See the profile](https://clutch.co/profile/justidea-agency) Certifications and partnerships ## Answer engine optimization: what these partner statuses give you We list the partner statuses we actually hold and say what each one is useful for in answer engine optimization. ### Google Premier Partner Google, top tier of the Google Partners programme Answers in Google are lifted from its live index, so a fix on a page shows up there sooner than in the memory of a language model. As a Premier Partner we also run the ads on the same results page, so for your queries we see both the paid results and the answer above them. ### Microsoft Advertising Elite Partner Microsoft, partner programme of the advertising platform Copilot answers from Microsoft's own index, a second place where a reworked page has to be found. We run Microsoft Advertising campaigns as an Elite Partner and check how Bing indexes your page in Bing Webmaster Tools, separately from Google. ### Meta Business Partner Meta, partner programme for Facebook and Instagram Part of what engines read about a company sits in its social profiles. We run Meta ads as a Business Partner and keep the company data in your profiles identical to the website, which supports the consistent company entity that our glossary of concepts builds. How we price ## How much does answer engine optimization cost? The price does not differ from ordinary copy, because we do not add a surcharge for the word AI in the name of a service. Text is billed per 1,000 characters, categories and rankings per piece, with no retainer. Recommended ### Content and refreshes for answers Content and optimization for AI at the price of classic copy. from €20 net per 1,000 characters with spaces - Scope: a semantic content audit; ordering entities and the relations between concepts; a structure of passages for AI to quote (FAQ, definitions, lists); structured data; refreshing old content for AI; production of expert content. Get a quote for your pages For online stores ### Category descriptions Optimizing product category descriptions with semantic vectors (cosine similarity), to match them better to the requirements of search engines and LLMs. Custom quote per category - The copy becomes more precise and consistent with users' queries, which improves visibility and relevance in results generated by AI. The price depends on the depth of the analysis. Ask about categories For buying questions ### Ranking articles Comparison articles (top 5 or top 10 products) on your blog or on external portals. Custom quote per ranking - Language models often draw on this type of content when they answer users' questions. The price depends on the length and the depth of research. Order a round-up Doubts before we start ## Before you commission changes to your pages ### “My content is already good” Possibly, and then the audit will show it and the list of changes will be short. Content that reads well to a person is often hard to quote, because the answer sits in the middle of a long paragraph. ### “I can generate this text with AI myself” You can. But a text that repeats what thousands of others say gives an engine no reason to quote it. What an engine can lift is a clear structure of passages, data with sources, structured data and concepts that connect to each other. That is the scope of this service. ### “I do not want to lose my Google rankings” Changes that help engines help the search engine too: clearer structure, fuller coverage, current data. We do not touch addresses or phrases that bring traffic without a reason. ### “I do not know where to start” We start with the pages that already get traffic from Google. A fix there turns into citations fastest, because the search index and the answer engine already know those addresses. Where this service ends ## Writing for keywords or for answers? Short answer A page written for a keyword repeats the phrase and is measured by how often it appears. A page written for an answer describes the topic with the concepts it connects to, and is measured by topic coverage and citations. We still choose phrases from data, but we write around the topic, not around one word. This service is work on finished pages and single orders, billed by the character or by the piece. A plan of topics and channels is [content marketing](https://justidea.agency/en/services/marketing-agency/content-marketing-2/), a steady publishing rhythm on a blog is [blog management](https://justidea.agency/en/services/marketing-agency/blog-writing/). The method that covers every engine and the sources outside your site is [generative engine optimization](https://justidea.agency/en/services/marketing-agency/generative-engine-optimization/), and a monthly measurement of how often engines name your brand, with work on that number, is [AI SEO](https://justidea.agency/en/services/marketing-agency/ai-seo/). Each can be combined with this service, because a reworked page works in all of them. ![Comparison: a page written for a keyword repeats the same word and is measured by repetitions, a page written for an answer covers a concept and its relations and is measured by topic coverage and citations](https://justidea.agency/assets/ill-optymalizacja-tresci-ai-frazy-czy-encje-en.svg) ### Choose answer engine optimization - You have articles and categories with traffic from Google, but engines do not quote them. - Customers in your industry ask questions like “what should I choose” and “how does it work”. - You would rather fix old posts than write new ones from scratch. ### Start with a content plan - You have no pages yet that could be fixed. - You do not know which topics to write about or in which channels. - Google has trouble indexing the site and that has to be fixed first. FAQ ## Answer engine optimization: questions before you decide **### What is an AEO agency?** An AEO agency is a marketing agency that reworks your pages so that answer engines, such as Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity, can quote them as the answer to a customer's question. It restructures and rewrites content, adds structured data where it describes what is visible, and checks whether the reworked pages start appearing in answers. JustIdea is such an agency, based in Kraków, in the EU, and works in English and Polish. **### What does AEO stand for?** AEO stands for answer engine optimization: shaping a page so that a search feature or an assistant that gives one direct answer, instead of a list of links, takes that answer from you. The term is used next to GEO (generative engine optimization) and AI SEO, and the three overlap heavily. For us AEO means the work on the content and structure of the page itself. **### Is AEO worth it?** It is worth it when your customers already ask questions in Google or in an AI engine and your pages are the right place to answer them. It mostly means reworking text you already have, from €20 net per 1,000 characters with spaces. It is not worth it for a site with no content to rework or no search demand for its topics. We cannot guarantee citations, because nobody controls an answer engine, and we say so before we start. **### Which AEO agencies are considered the best?** There is no official ranking or certificate for AEO. The lists you find are written by agencies and publishers, often ones that sell the service themselves, so compare agencies on three points instead: which questions they will measure the effect on, whether you get a text before and after the change, and whether the price is stated before the call. JustIdea states its price per 1,000 characters up front, and its client reviews from Clutch, Google and Facebook are public. **### How is AEO different from SEO?** SEO competes for a place in a list of links, AEO for the passage that an engine lifts into its answer. The unit of work changes from the page to the passage: a definition, a list of steps, a question with its answer. The base stays shared with SEO, because the page still has to be crawlable, fast and indexed, and the same signals that earn rankings, such as expertise and original data, help earn citations. That is why the two are run together. **### AEO or GEO: which one do I need?** You need AEO when the pages you already have should become the answer. You need GEO when the brand has to be named across many questions, which also means sources outside your site. The two share passages, structured data and a consistent company entity, and they are often combined. We keep them as separate pages because the work, the measurement and the price differ: this page prices the reworking of content, the GEO page the method across engines. More: [generative engine optimization](https://justidea.agency/en/services/marketing-agency/generative-engine-optimization/) [AI SEO](https://justidea.agency/en/services/marketing-agency/ai-seo/) **### How much does AEO cost?** From €20 net per 1,000 characters with spaces for new or reworked text. Category descriptions and ranking articles are quoted per piece. An AI-ready text costs the same as ordinary copy, because we do not charge extra for the AI in the name. You see the list of pages and the quote before we start writing. **### How soon do reworked pages show up in answers?** We first check the reworked pages against the list of questions after 4-8 weeks. Answers built from live search, such as AI Overviews and Perplexity, react first. The memory of a language model changes more slowly, with new model versions, and is counted in quarters rather than weeks. **### Do pages have to be rewritten from scratch to be quoted?** Usually not. A post that already ranks in Google often only needs the missing concepts, current data and a split into passages. We write a new text when no page of the site answers your customers' question, or when the old page covers the topic too narrowly. **### Which pages do AI engines cite most?** In our measurement of 143 pages cited by ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and AI Overviews for six questions about choosing an agency in Poland, 54% were articles: rankings, guides, round-ups and answers to questions. Almost one citation in four went to a service page or an agency directory listing, and about one in eight to a home page. **### Does structured data help an engine quote my page?** Google says plainly that AI Overviews need no extra markup. Structured data still helps the search engine read the author, the topic of the page and what is a question and what is an answer. We add it where it describes content visible on the page, because markup that contradicts the content does harm. More: [free AI visibility checker](https://justidea.agency/en/ai-visibility-checker/) **### Can an AEO agency in the EU help a US company get quoted in Europe?** Yes, if you sell or plan to sell in European markets. JustIdea is based in Kraków, in the EU, and works in English and Polish. An engine replies in the language of the question and draws on sources from that market, so we build the list of questions separately for each language and market, then rework the pages that should answer them. We write content in English and Polish only. For other EU languages we supply the questions and the brief, and a native speaker on your side checks the text. We run the e-commerce of Surf Inc., a brand we co-create, on the technology and marketing side, and it sells in nine markets. ## Entities, vectors and old posts in answer engine optimization ** ### Entities and consistent naming An entity is a thing that a search engine and a model recognize as one object: a company, a product, a place, a person. When the same product is named one way in a category description, another way in a guide and a third way in structured data, a model does not join those places into one picture. So we start with a glossary of the site's concepts and keep to it in every text. ** ### Vectors and cosine similarity in category descriptions A model turns text and a question into vectors, lists of numbers that describe meaning, and compares how close they lie. We measure that similarity for a category description and the queries buyers type, then add the concepts that bring the description closer to the questions. It is a measurement, not guessing whether a text is on topic. ** ### Refreshing old articles A post from three years ago often has the best links and positions on the site, but outdated data and a layout with no passages to quote. We fix the content under the same address, add a review date and sources, and replace old figures with new ones. The address and the main phrase stay, so the text does not lose what it has already built. ** ### Content for several markets An engine answers in the language of the question and reaches for sources from that market. Translating an English article rarely does the job, because Germans and Czechs ask about the same things in different words. We write and rework content in English and Polish only. For other languages we prepare the questions and the brief, and a native speaker on your side checks the text before it goes live. Other services ## What else can we do for you? A reworked page works best when the site is visible in Google and the brand is named in sources outside it. These are the services that most often come up in the same conversation, each with its own scope and quote.
