Ask ChatGPT a question and it answers by citing a handful of sources. Answer Engine Optimisation and Generative Engine Optimisation are the work of becoming one of those sources: getting a brand cited by A.I. The method is simple to say and slower to do: measure what the engines say about a brand, build the content that changes the answer, then measure again. Try it yourself; run the search below.
Sourish Singh Roy is a Master of Communication graduate from the National University of Singapore, specialising in Strategic Communication and Data Analytics. He works where marketing meets applied AI: measuring how brands appear inside AI answer engines, then building the content that changes the answer.
That is answer engine optimisation. Most brands have no idea what the AI says about them. I do this for a living.
Run this search. Press send and see what the AI answers.
Research points at a question your buyers ask that nobody answers well. You feed that idea into the engine.
Asked ChatGPT which companies like ours it would recommend. We were not in the answer. How do we change that?
It scores the idea against what matters for your business: can you win this answer, does it fit, are the facts to hand? Weak ideas wait.
One researched idea becomes a blog post, a LinkedIn post and a newsletter, each written for its channel, built only on facts it can back up.
Every draft is scored before it reaches you: facts true, sounds like you, better than what the AI shows today. Then you post it. The engine never publishes on its own.
- ✓Every fact traced to a source
- ✓Sounds like your brand
- ✓Better than what the AI shows today
- ✓You give the go-ahead
The engine asks your buyers' questions again on a schedule and measures whether the AI now names you. Those results feed back into the engine, so the next piece starts smarter.
