Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)

We help businesses get cited when people ask AI.

Search is fragmenting across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overview. A small number of sources get pulled into the answer. The rest are invisible. We do the structural work that puts you in the cited set.

Score your own site in 30 seconds. No email, runs live.

What AEO actually is

AEO is the engineering side of being mentioned by AI assistants. Schema.org markup, machine-readable metadata, canonical entity definitions, consistent business identity across data sources, content that maps cleanly to how questions are asked.

It is roughly to AI assistants what SEO was to Google in 2005: a set of structural fixes that take a site from "the algorithm cannot tell what this is" to "the algorithm has enough signal to cite it confidently."

We are a small team, based in Stavanger, Norway. Most of our day-to-day is Norwegian SMB work. The methodology is language-agnostic, and we have shipped foundations for English-language SaaS clients on the same basis.

One case in public

Nordic Lithium, a Norwegian battery materials company, asked us to fix their AEO foundation. Score went from 67 (grade C) to 90 (grade A) over roughly two weeks of structured work.

"We have had a lot of traffic the last few months. I would not rule out that this is because of the improvements Synlig Digital made." Customer feedback, May 2026. Full case: synligdigital.no/en/case/nordic-lithium

The methodology is the same in any language. Most of our public case studies are Norwegian because that is where we operate; the schema and structural work that drove the result transfers cleanly.

If you want to talk

The fastest way is email: hei@synligdigital.no. Mention what your business does and the URL. We reply within one working day, usually faster.

If you want your own AEO score first, email hei@synligdigital.no with the subject "Free AEO audit" and your URL in the body. We reply with a 0–100 score, the structural gaps we found, and a prioritized fix list, typically within one working day. (A Norwegian self-serve version of the same check is at sjekk.synligdigital.no for Norwegian visitors.)

About the tool you may have come from. LLM Smell Check is a small open-source thing we put together because we kept seeing AI-shaped marketing copy in the wild and wanted a way to score it. It runs entirely in your browser, nothing is uploaded. Code is on GitHub; patches welcome.
