Found by people, and by the assistants answering for them.
Search now has two audiences: people scanning results, and the AI assistants answering on their behalf. Digital marketing at Minetta optimises for both and reports them separately — organic SEO for humans, AEO (answer engine optimisation) for the assistants, plus Google Ads and paid social, all measured against your own numbers rather than the platform's.
What digital marketing covers
SEO
Technical, content and authority work that keeps you ranking for the people scanning a page of results.
AEO
Answer engine optimisation — making your content clear, structured and quotable so AI assistants cite it.
Google Ads
Search, Shopping and Performance Max campaigns built for intent, with spend held to a return you can verify.
Paid social
Prospecting and retargeting across the platforms your audience actually uses, planned to feed the funnel, not vanity metrics.
Structured data & content
Answer-first pages and schema that serve human readers and machine readers from the same source of truth.
Measurement & reporting
Search and answer-engine visibility tracked and reported separately, reconciled to your own data rather than platform estimates.
SEO vs AEO
| Concern | SEO | AEO |
|---|---|---|
| Audience | People scanning a page of results | Assistants synthesising one answer |
| Signals | Rankings, links, keywords, on-page relevance | Answer-first content, structured data, quotability |
| Goal | A click through to your page | A citation inside the answer |
| Where it shows | Google and Bing results pages | ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overviews |
| How reported | Rankings, clicks and organic conversions | Citations, AI referral traffic, share of answers |
