FAQ
Palmata: frequently asked questions
What is answer engine optimization (AEO)?
AEO is the work of improving how AI answer engines, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, describe and recommend your company. It overlaps with SEO, but focuses on the answers AI tools give rather than on search rankings alone.
What does Palmata do?
Palmata is an AEO platform. It researches how AI answer engines represent your company, explains the factors behind those answers, recommends which content changes matter most, and simulates their likely impact before you make them. It also offers an MCP server so its findings can be used inside AI-assisted content tools.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO aims to rank pages in search results. AEO aims to make AI tools describe you accurately and recommend you when buyers ask questions. Much of the same work helps both: clear pages, accurate facts, structured data, and trusted third-party mentions.
Why does AEO matter for regulated firms?
When an answer engine misstates your services, fees, or credentials, it can mislead prospects and raise compliance concerns. Correcting what AI tools say about you is part of managing your public communications. We send content changes through your normal compliance review.
How quickly do AI answers change?
Answer engines update on different schedules, so changes show up at different speeds. We set a baseline first and re-measure on a regular cadence so you can see what moved.
