Optimizing for How People Search Today
Search has changed. Blue links aren’t always the finish line—AI overviews, voice queries, and generative assistants are answering questions before people even click. Most teams are still applying old SEO tactics to a world that demands more.
At Hypha, we don’t treat AEO as an add-on. It’s built into content strategy, HubSpot CMS, and your growth playbook—so when AI surfaces answers, yours are the ones people trust. More leads, not just impressions.
Talk to Us About Our AEO & SEO StrategyWhy AEO Matters Now
Search isn’t just shifting—it’s already shifted. Google’s Search Generative Experience (SGE), AI summaries, and voice queries are changing how browsers, visitors, and buyers discover information. The old “rank-on-page-one” goal doesn’t guarantee visibility anymore.
- Visibility is shrinking. AI-powered answers now take more real estate in SERPs and search ecosystems.
- Clicks aren’t the only signal. Users settle for quick answers. If your content isn’t structured for that, it may be invisible.
- Signal over keywords. Context, authoritativeness, and clarity are rising in importance.
Why is my traffic going down if rankings look the same?
You’re not imagining it. Many businesses see stable keyword rankings but dropping traffic because AI summaries, answer boxes, and other SERP features satisfy users before they ever click. Without AEO, your content can rank—but still be invisible.
Hypha’s AEO Approach
AEO isn’t a bolt-on tactic—it’s built into how we plan, write, and develop on HubSpot. Our approach blends technical performance with content strategy and growth outcomes.
Technical Foundation:
Sites that load fast, hit Core Web Vitals, and scale without breaking.
Conversational Optimization:
Content structured in natural Q&A and answer-first formats that surface in AI overviews and voice results.
Content Architecture:
Pillar and cluster strategies that establish topical authority and reinforce entity relationships.
Strategic Layer:
We tie AEO directly to pipeline—optimizing for conversations that generate revenue, not just clicks.
HubSpot Integration:
Your CMS and CRM aren’t afterthoughts. We build them to provide the context search engines need and the personalization your visitors expect.
How do I optimize my site for AI search?
It’s less about a trick and more about structure. Fast, technically clean pages. Content written in natural, question-and-answer formats. Clear topic authority through clusters. And HubSpot integration that ensures the data behind your site supports personalization and discoverability. That’s exactly what Hypha’s AEO specialty delivers.
