# Be the answer in search and in AI answers.

ShoutRank is an SEO, AEO, GEO, and AIO agency. Rankings in Google, citations in answer engines, names in generative chat, and sources in AI Overviews.
Ranked in Google, and cited when AI Overviews answer a search. Named in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot.

ShoutRank is an SEO, AEO, GEO, and AIO agency, founded by Praneet Thakur. Programs are remote and in English. The practice does not guarantee a ranking or a citation. Where the desk sits is on the About page.

## GEO and AIO

GEO is generative engine optimization: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Copilot naming a company in the reply. AIO is the AI Overview on Google, the summary above the blue links. The logs stay separate.

- [GEO consultant](https://shoutrank.com/geo-consultant.md): the company a generative model names.
- [AIO consultant](https://shoutrank.com/aio-consultant.md): the URL an AI Overview cites.

## Four seats

SEO assigns the query. AEO edits the line an answer can quote. GEO watches the generative reply. AIO watches the overview.

- [SEO consultant](https://shoutrank.com/seo-consultant.md): the query that should rank, on one URL.
- [AEO consultant](https://shoutrank.com/aeo-consultant.md): the line an answer is willing to quote.
- [GEO consultant](https://shoutrank.com/geo-consultant.md): the company a generative model names.
- [AIO consultant](https://shoutrank.com/aio-consultant.md): the URL an AI Overview cites.

## Questions

### What is the difference between SEO and AEO?

SEO earns visibility in classic search results: rankings, snippets, maps, and product grids. Answer engine optimization (AEO) earns the citation when an AI answer summarizes the same topic in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or Copilot. The work overlaps. The unit of competition is different: a page in search, a passage and an entity in an answer.

### Do we still need SEO if buyers ask ChatGPT first?

Yes. Search still captures people who are comparing, buying, and visiting. Answer engines also draw on pages that search engines already trust. Dropping SEO usually makes both surfaces weaker. ShoutRank runs them as one program.

### Can you guarantee a ranking or an AI citation?

No. We do not sell guaranteed positions or guaranteed citations. Search results and model answers both change. We sell a system: technical access for crawlers, pages worth quoting, consistent entities, and a measurement habit you can review every month.

### What is a visibility audit?

A two-week read of how search and answer engines currently see the brand. We look at indexation, internal links, page structure, entity consistency, and whether priority queries produce a citation, a ranking, both, or neither. You leave with a sequenced plan, not a 90-page PDF.

### Where does ShoutRank work?

Programs are remote, in English, with companies in India, the United States, and elsewhere. Where the desk sits is on the About page.
