Frequently asked
What does an aeo manager do?
An AEO manager owns a brand's visibility inside AI-generated answers. Day to day that means structured data and schema work, building citation-worthy content, monitoring how the brand appears in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode, and reporting on citation share the way an SEO lead reports on rankings.
How long does hiring take?
Senior AI search roles average 67 days to fill. Posting where practitioners already look and publishing a salary range are the two fastest levers on that number.
