AEO for Roofers
Questions, answered.
How Answer Engine Optimization works for roofing contractors, what we build, and how we measure whether it's working.
What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the practice of structuring your website so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini cite your business directly when someone asks them for a recommendation. Where SEO aims to rank a page in a list of links, AEO aims to make your site the source the AI quotes in its answer.
How is this different from SEO or Google Ads?
SEO and ads compete for clicks on a results page. AI answers don't show ten links; they hand back a few names. AEO makes sure your own website is one of the sources behind those names, rather than a directory like Angi or HomeAdvisor.
Will this actually bring me more roofing jobs?
The goal is to be the company AI recommends at the moment a homeowner is deciding who to trust. Roofing is high-ticket, so even one AI-referred job a month can cover the retainer several times over. We measure citation rate so you can see the trend, but no one can guarantee a specific number of jobs.
How does the one-roofer-per-city rule work?
We work with only one roofing company per metro area. AEO content can't ethically or effectively compete with itself in the same market, so once your city is taken, we won't sign a competitor in it.
What do you actually build or change on my website?
We publish the answer pages homeowners ask AI for (roof replacement cost, repair vs. replace, storm-damage insurance claims, how to spot a scam), add schema markup and FAQs the engines can read, and build the reviews and citations that make your site a trusted source.
How long until I show up in AI answers?
Most sites start near zero. Content is usually indexed within the first month, with citation rate climbing over the following two to three months as the pages are crawled and the authority signals build. We report the movement every month.
What do you need from me to get started?
Access to your website and Google Business Profile, your certifications and service areas, and a few past jobs you're proud of. We handle the writing, the schema and the technical setup.
How do you measure results?
Each month we re-run the same set of homeowner questions across the major AI engines and track your citation rate, your AI Visibility Score, and which competitors are being named instead. You get a report showing where you stand and what changed.
Can you guarantee I'll be the top recommendation?
No honest provider can. AI answers are non-deterministic and vary by query and engine. What we can do is measurably improve the likelihood that your own website is the cited source, and show you that movement every month.
What is the difference between Foundation, Authority and Domination?
Foundation builds the content infrastructure on your website so AI engines start recognizing you as a credible Texas roofing source. It uses state-level content and is non-exclusive. Authority adds city-specific targeting and locks your metro so no competitor can buy the same service in your area. Domination layers on third-party citation building, getting your business mentioned on external sites, forums and local news, which is how AI engines decide who to trust most.
What do you build on my website and what happens on other sites?
On-site work is content we publish directly to your website: the answer pages, FAQ sections and schema markup that AI engines read when they crawl your site. Off-site work happens on other websites: forum mentions, local news references, directory listings and third-party write-ups that point back to your content. AI engines treat external references as trust signals, which is why both layers matter. Foundation and Authority focus entirely on-site. Domination adds the off-site layer on top.
How do I know which plan is right for me?
If you want to understand AEO and test it before committing to a city-exclusive relationship, Foundation is the entry point. If you are ready to own your market and lock out competitors in your metro, Authority is the core product. Domination is for contractors who want to move faster and build external authority before competitors in their market figure out what AEO is.
