Akanksha's Review Sourced from Google
I had an amazing experience working with FactoryJet, and I can confidently say they are one of the top web design and e-commerce development companies in the market today. They redesigned my entire website with a clean, modern UI and built a powerful backend that has already started bringing in new enquiries and qualified leads.
FactoryJet’s team is extremely knowledgeable about SEO, conversion-focused design, and high-performance e-commerce platforms. They helped me structure my pages correctly, improve loading speed, and set up features that make managing my business online so much easier.
Their attention to detail, transparent workflow, and commitment to delivering real business results truly stand out. It’s rare to find a tech partner that understands both design and strategy at this level.
If you’re searching for a professional website development agency, a trusted e-commerce partner, or simply want a website that drives sales, I highly recommend FactoryJet. They have exceeded every expectation and delivered a solution that genuinely helps my business grow.

FactoryJet delivered an outstanding website for my service-based business, and I could not be happier with the results. They built a clean, professional, and high-converting website that immediately improved customer trust and enquiry rates.
Their team understands how service businesses work—what information customers look for, how to structure pages, and how to design for credibility. The website they built is fast, SEO-optimized, and already ranking for several important keywords.
FactoryJet is by far one of the most skilled web design and development agencies I’ve come across. They combine creativity with strategy and truly care about helping your business grow.
I fully recommend them to anyone looking to build or upgrade their website. You will be impressed with their quality, professionalism, and results.

FactoryJet is hands down one of the best E-Commerce development agencies I’ve worked with. They helped me design and launch a fully custom online store with a beautiful UI, smooth checkout experience, and SEO-optimized product pages.
Within the first few weeks of going live, we started seeing more traffic and real sales growth. Their expertise in E-Commerce strategy, product structuring, UX design, and conversion optimization truly reflects in the final results.
They also helped me integrate key features like payment gateways, inventory management, and remarketing setups—things that other agencies often overlook.
If you're looking for a professional, reliable team to build your E-Commerce website, FactoryJet should be your first choice. They deliver results, not just websites.

I recently worked with AdWorks Bid for SEO services, and my experience has been outstanding. From the start, I was in touch with Rony, who promised excellent results. Initially, I was impatient as I didn’t see immediate results, but I learned that SEO takes time.
After a while, the results started to show, and they were impressive! Our pages began appearing on the first page of search results. Rony promised we would achieve top rankings, and we are confident they will deliver on that promise.
Rony is not only professional but also very friendly and organized. The entire AdWorks Bid team is fantastic, and their service is top-notch. I am currently on a membership plan and have no plans to stop working with them. Their pricing is very reasonable for the quality of service they provide.
I highly recommend AdWorks Bid to anyone looking for SEO services. Just remember to be patient because great results take time.

Unlike traditional SEO retainers, AEO pricing is determined based on how much technical implementation, content production, and authority building the agency performs.
Common factors affecting the pricing include:
Website complexity: Large websites require more data, entity optimization, and content restructuring.
Content production: Creating AI-friendly guides, FAQs, comparison pages, and expert resources often represent the largest portion of an AEO agency’s output.
Technical fixes: Schema markup, internal linking improvements, crawl optimization, and index management encompass frequent adjustments.
Authority building: Digital PR, expert citations, and high-quality mentions are frequently priced separately.
Tracking and reporting: Some answer engine optimization companies include AI visibility tracking, while others charge extra for monitoring across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Claude.
What do answer engine optimization companies charge that most buyers don't expect?
Many answer engine optimization companies charge their technical and editorial work separately from the retainer.
Other common exclusions include:
Content production: Original expert articles, comparison pages, FAQs, and buying guides.
Development work: Schema implementation, page template updates, and technical fixes.
External outreach: Digital PR initiatives and link-building campaigns.
AI visibility monitoring: Platform-specific reporting and citation tracking.
Subject matter expert interviews: Original expertise used to strengthen authority signals.
How do I know if my current answer engine optimization strategy is underperforming?
Your AEO strategy is underperforming if AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google's AI Overviews rarely cite your brand when answering questions in your niche.
Here's how to diagnose it quickly:
Zero or rare citations Run 15-20 queries your customers would normally ask, across multiple AI platforms. If you're absent more often than not, that's your baseline problem.
Outdated or wrong information surfaces When AI does mention you, check if it's pulling stale data, old pricing, or discontinued services.
Competitors dominate the answer box If rivals consistently appear in synthesized answers and you don't, their content structure is simply more "extractable" than yours.
No structured data footprint Missing schema markup (FAQ, HowTo, Organization) makes it harder for language models to parse and trust your content as a source.
Your content reads like marketing, not reference material AI engines favor clear, factual, well-organized answers over persuasive copy.
The quickest fix would be to audit your query coverage, as traditional SEO metrics won't reveal this gap. You will need to query the engines yourself and track citation frequency over time.
Should I hire a specialist answer engine optimization company or a general SEO agency?
You should hire a specialist answer engine optimization company if AI visibility is now central to your customer acquisition.
While many traditional SEO agencies are expanding their offering into AEO services, specialized AEO providers understand how to structure answers for extraction (clear definitions, direct claims, logical hierarchy).
That said, a hybrid approach often works best. If your traditional SEO is already solid, a specialist AEO partner can layer in the missing technical and structural pieces.
If your SEO foundation is weak, fix that first. AEO without strong content fundamentals is like building on sand.
What is a realistic timeline to see results from answer engine optimization services?
Platform speed varies: Perplexity indexes new content within hours to days, while ChatGPT lags since it depends on training data plus limited browsing.
Existing authority compounds: Roughly 76% of sources cited in Google AI Overviews already rank in the top 10 organic results, so traditional SEO strength directly accelerates AEO.
Updates matter more than rewrites: High-value pages should be refreshed monthly with new statistics and examples, rather than redone completely.
Which AI search platforms should an AEO strategy target first?
You should prioritize the AEO strategy based on where your customers search, rather than on platform popularity alone. That said, ChatGPT and Google's AI Overviews are the safest starting point for most strategies, since they currently command the largest share of AI-driven search traffic.
Here are a few observations about each AI platform to consider:
ChatGPT. With hundreds of millions of weekly users, it's become a primary research and purchasing-decision tool, especially for B2B and informational queries.
Google AI Overviews. Since it's embedded directly in traditional search results, even users not actively seeking AI answers encounter it by default, making it nearly impossible to ignore.
Perplexity. Smaller user base, but disproportionately influential among researchers, analysts, and early adopters who value citation transparency.
Microsoft Copilot. Worth monitoring if your audience skews enterprise, since it's integrated into Microsoft 365 workflows many businesses already use daily.
Will answer engine optimization replace SEO, or do I need both?
No, answer engine optimization won’t replace SEO, as it builds on SEO’s foundations.
Most AI systems still discover and evaluate websites using the same signals that support traditional search visibility, including crawlability, content quality, authority, and structured information. AEO extends those fundamentals by making content easier for AI systems to interpret, summarize, and cite.
For most organizations, the progression looks like this:
Build a technically healthy website.
Establish topical authority through SEO.
Improve content structure for AI retrieval.
Monitor AI visibility alongside traditional rankings.
Companies that skip foundational SEO often struggle because AI systems have less trustworthy content to reference.
