AI agents for SEO and AEO

BuildWire builds AI agents for SEO and AEO, the work of getting your brand cited in AI answers from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. The agents audit your site on a schedule, compare your pages with what searchers want, find content gaps and People Also Ask questions, and alert you when rankings, traffic or AI citations slip. Your team decides what gets published or changed.

What we build

Systems we build for SEO and AEO

Each system connects to your own site and data. These are the six we build most often.

Automated SEO audits

Crawls your site on a schedule and ranks technical issues by impact: indexing problems, broken links, missing or invalid schema, slow pages and pages competing for the same keyword.

Runs on: your crawler of choice, Search Console, Claude, n8n

You get: a ranked fix list that shows only what changed since the last run

Search intent mismatch detection

Compares what each page offers with what currently ranks for its target queries, and flags pages where the format or angle is wrong for the search.

Runs on: SERP data, Search Console, Claude

You get: a list of pages with the gap named and a suggested change

Content gap and People Also Ask discovery

Collects the questions and subtopics that competitors answer and you do not, including People Also Ask questions for your main topics.

Runs on: SERP data, Claude, n8n

You get: a ranked list of briefs your writers can start from

New query discovery

FAQ

Questions we hear

What are AI SEO services?

AI SEO services use AI agents to do the repeated parts of search work: site audits, intent checks, content gap research, performance monitoring and AI answer tracking. At BuildWire, we build those agents inside your own tools so the work runs on a schedule and your team reviews the output.

Can ChatGPT do SEO on its own?

ChatGPT can draft and analyze when you give it data. On its own, it cannot see your Search Console, crawl your site every week, or remember what changed since last month. We build the connections and the schedule that turn it into a working system.

What is AEO, and how is it different from SEO?

AEO stands for answer engine optimization. SEO earns rankings in search results. AEO earns mentions and citations inside AI answers from tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google's AI Overviews. The two share most of the groundwork: clear pages, direct answers, structured data and pages that already rank.

Is SEO still worth it in 2026?

Yes. Search still sends traffic, and AI assistants often draw on pages that rank well and answer questions directly. The same work supports both channels.

Is BuildWire an AEO agency?

We are an AI studio. We build the agents and systems your team uses for SEO and AEO, and we can stay on to run and extend them. We do not sell content volume or link packages.

How much do AI SEO services cost?

We do not publish prices, because every build is scoped to the work. After a call, you get a written scope with the price, the timeline and how we will measure success.
