The 60-Second AEO Briefing

Your next customer just asked ChatGPT who delivers propane. Did your company come up?

Homeowners are asking AI tools for recommendations the way they used to ask Google — and the dealers getting named aren't the biggest ones. They're the ones whose websites are structured for it.

Hit play — it's 60 seconds, shot straight to camera.

What AEO Is — and Why It Decides Who Gets Recommended Brett Lewis, Co-Founder, Navara Marketing • 1 minute

In the video

Sixty seconds, three answers

No jargon, no theory. In one minute Brett covers exactly what's changing in how customers find fuel dealers — and what separates the companies AI names from the ones it skips.

01

What AEO actually is

Answer Engine Optimization, in plain language: how ChatGPT, Google's AI results, and voice assistants decide which propane companies to recommend when a homeowner asks.

02

Why it's not the SEO you already paid for

Ranking on Google and getting named by AI are related but different games. The SEO you've invested in still matters — it's just no longer the whole picture.

03

The three things that decide recommend-or-skip

The three factors AI tools weigh when they pick which dealer to name. Get these right and you show up in answers your competitors don't even know exist.
