Judge the programme on qualified enquiries, not raw sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does AEO work for B2B service companies?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, and B2B is where it matters most, because buyers use AI to build shortlists. G2 found 69% of B2B buyers were led to a different vendor than planned by an AI chatbot. Clear service pages, case studies and consistent third-party profiles are what get you included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is B2B AEO different from B2C AEO?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>B2B prompts are longer and more specific, involving industry, budget, compliance and tech stack. Buyers also check proof before shortlisting. So B2B AEO focuses on detailed service and industry pages, case studies, pricing logic and review profiles rather than product listings and feeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does B2B AEO take to show results?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Page changes can be picked up within weeks once crawled, but shortlist changes usually take a quarter or more because AI answers also rely on third-party mentions. Run a fixed prompt baseline first, then re-check monthly so you can see real movement rather than guessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do I need special markup for AI search?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No special AI markup is required. Google says normal SEO best practices apply to AI Overviews and AI Mode. Standard structured data such as Organization, Service and Article can help search engines understand your pages, but clear, specific content matters more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Eoxys run AEO for our B2B company?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/eoxysit.com\/blogs\/aeo-services-ai-search-citations\/\">AEO service<\/a> covers the prompt baseline, page rewrites, case study production, profile clean-up and monthly tracking.
