01How it works

How Does an AEO Video Program Work?

We identify the questions worth answering and handle preproduction and filming. Optionally, we also post the videos to your YouTube channel and build carefully architected, AI-optimized pages on your site around them — or you can publish them yourself. Finally, we track and report how your content is performing and make recommendations for improvement.

04The case for scale

Why Does AEO Require More Video Than Traditional Content?

Because buyers ask AI in specific, personal questions — not keywords — and AI fans each one out into several searches. Every persona, use case and comparison becomes its own question, so a handful of content pieces can't cover them all — each needs its own answer video.

52%

of real buyer prompts include “I”, “my” or “me” — buyers describe themselves and expect answers that fit.

Otterly.AI, 2026

3–4 searches

AI fans one question out into several searches — 3 to 4 in one study — more chances to be cited, if the content exists.
