UK AEO Solutions
For businesses & brands that want to be found in AI search
Structured AEO strategy for UK businesses that need to be cited, not just ranked
[01] Context
/ where most teams are now
Start with the real AEO question
If you're evaluating AEO solutions, you already understand the shift.
The question is whether your digital infrastructure is actually engineered to satisfy how large language models retrieve, extract, and cite sources and if not, what it takes to fix that. Our free AI visibility checker is a great place to start on this front.
Tilio helps UK businesses that want to show up when buyers use AI to find providers, especially in competitive categories where the shortlist matters.
[02] Core approach
/ three areas of work
How Tilio approaches AEO
Our work covers three core areas.
Content structure
AI systems extract passages, not pages. We restructure your service pages, case studies, and content hubs so the most important information is immediately machine-readable: clear, factual, third-person summaries positioned where AI crawlers expect to find them, formatted to pass the neutrality filters that strip out promotional language from AI Overviews.
Technical schema and infrastructure
Being cited in AI Overviews and chat interfaces requires verified entity data, not just good content. We implement advanced JSON-LD schema markup (Organisation, Service, FAQPage, HowTo, Review), manage your LLMs.txt file, and ensure your Core Web Vitals meet the technical baseline AI crawlers expect.
Brand authority and consensus building
Language models assess trust by how consistently and positively your brand appears across the wider web. We build that presence through strategic placements on the platforms LLMs weight heavily: industry aggregators, review ecosystems, and high-authority third-party publishers.
[03] Delivery models
/ choose your operating model
Which AEO solution fits your team?
| Solution | Best for | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Platform access only | Teams with strong in-house SEO and content resource | Direct access to enterprise AI visibility tools (including Profound) to track citations, monitor share of voice, and benchmark competitors across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity |
| Fully managed | Teams without the bandwidth or specialist knowledge to execute | Tilio handles everything: audit, strategy, content, schema, and ongoing optimisation |
| Hybrid | Most UK B2B teams | You keep dashboard access and full visibility data; we handle strategy, prioritisation, and implementation |
Most clients start with a conversation about where they currently sit. We're straightforward about which option genuinely makes sense for your team.
[04] Measurement
/ what actually matters
How we measure what's working
Rank tracking tells you very little about AI visibility.
A page ranking first organically may not appear in a single AI-generated answer.
We track what actually matters:
- Citation accuracy: not just whether your brand is mentioned, but whether AI systems are describing you correctly (particularly important in regulated sectors where outdated claims carry real risk)
- Share of voice: how often you appear across targeted question clusters compared to competitors
- Entity sentiment: how language models characterise your brand
- Downstream commercial impact: traffic, leads, and conversions attributed to AI chat referrals
[05] Starting point
/ practical first step
Start with knowing where you stand
The most practical first step is understanding your current AI visibility: how language models perceive your brand, where citations are being won by competitors, and what structural gaps exist in your content and schema.
We offer a straightforward AI Visibility Audit to give you that picture before any commitment is made.
Frequently asked questions
What are the top UK AEO solutions?+
The most effective UK AEO solutions combine three capabilities: AI visibility tracking, structured content engineering, and technical schema deployment.
Enterprise platforms such as Profound provide citation monitoring and share of voice tracking across generative search engines, while specialist AEO agencies handle the structural implementation work that software alone cannot execute.
Tilio offers UK businesses access to both, through platform-only, fully managed, and hybrid solution models depending on internal resource and commercial requirements.
The most capable AEO solutions are those built specifically around the retrieval mechanics of large language models rather than adapted from traditional SEO frameworks.
What should a good AEO solution include?+
A comprehensive AEO solution should cover three areas: content restructuring to improve passage extractability, technical schema implementation to establish verified entity data, and off-site authority building to create consistent brand signals across platforms LLMs weight during retrieval.
Businesses evaluating AEO solutions should look for providers that measure citation accuracy and share of voice across specific AI platforms, rather than relying on traditional organic rank tracking as a proxy for generative search performance.
What makes Tilio's AEO solutions different from standard SEO agencies?+
Tilio's AEO solutions are built specifically around the retrieval logic of large language models rather than traditional search engine ranking signals.
This means content is engineered for machine extractability and neutrality filters, schema is implemented to satisfy entity disambiguation requirements, and performance is measured through AI citation tracking tools such as Profound rather than keyword position reports.
Most generalist SEO agencies apply legacy optimisation frameworks that are structurally incompatible with how generative AI systems select and cite sources.
Are Tilio's AEO solutions suitable for small UK businesses or only enterprise?+
Tilio helps UK businesses that want to show up when buyers use AI to find providers.
They are especially useful in competitive categories where the shortlist matters.
The managed and hybrid solution models are well suited to growing businesses without large in-house SEO teams, while the platform-only option suits organisations with mature internal capabilities.
The right solution depends more on internal resource and technical maturity than on company size.
How do I know which AEO solution is right for my business?+
The right AEO solution depends on three factors: the current state of your technical infrastructure, your team's internal capacity to execute, and how competitively contested your sector is within AI search.
Tilio offers an initial AI Visibility Audit that establishes a clear baseline before recommending a solution, so the decision is based on actual data rather than assumptions about where gaps exist.
