Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Answer Authority Engineering™ and AI visibility.
What is Answer Authority Engineering™?
Answer Authority Engineering™ (AAE) is the practice of making businesses discoverable and correctly represented by AI systems like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini. It's not SEO—it's optimization for AI citation.
How is this different from SEO?
SEO optimizes for search engines. AAE optimizes for AI answer engines. Search engines return links; you choose. AI returns answers; the AI chooses. If the AI can't parse your site correctly, you're not in the answer.
What is the 'Ghost Authority Layer™'?
Ghost Authority Layer™ is continuous monitoring and reinforcement of your authority signals across AI systems. It injects ephemeral, AI-only signals that help LLMs understand your business without changing your website's appearance to humans.
What is 'Authority Knowledge Surface™'?
Authority Knowledge Surface™ is persistent, citable content specifically optimized for AI systems. It provides the deep, structured information AI needs to cite you as an authoritative source in your category.
How long does it take to see results?
Initial improvements appear within 24-72 hours as AI systems re-crawl your site. First citations typically appear within 3-7 days. Full visibility stabilizes within 2-3 weeks.
Do you guarantee specific rankings or results?
No. We cannot control how AI systems rank or cite sources (we don't own ChatGPT, Claude, etc.). We optimize your discoverability and parseability. Results vary based on industry, competition, and content quality.
What's the difference between Monthly, Weekly, Daily, and Autopilot™?
These are monitoring cadences for Ghost Authority Layer™. Monthly checks/reinforces authority signals monthly. Weekly is faster response to changes. Daily is continuous monitoring. Autopilot™ adapts automatically based on competitive dynamics.
