How to choose
What separates an AEO provider from an SEO agency with a new label.
Many agencies now offer “AEO”. Here is what to check, whoever you hire.
| SEO-first agency | What to look for in an AEO provider | |
|---|---|---|
| What they measure | Rankings, clicks, traffic | Whether AI systems mention, cite or recommend you, and what they say about you |
| How they set the goal | One package for everyone | Starts from your intent: citation, recommendation, buying-intent visibility, or AI explaining your product |
| Questions they prioritise | High-volume keywords | Questions with buying intent: buy and book, price and cost, “best” and shortlist, comparisons and alternatives, local and “near me”, trust checks, fit and eligibility, contact details, switching, and business-buyer queries |
| Where the work happens | Your website | Your website plus the places AI systems draw from: directories, third-party profiles, reviews, structured content |
| How they handle change | Assumes stable rules | Accepts that AI systems differ and change often, and re-measures regularly |
| Product understanding | Not a focus | Structures your content so AI can explain your product accurately |
| What they promise | Rankings | Aim to get you recommended, and show how: measure each system, place your content where it is most likely to be found, and report what changed. Be wary of anyone who guarantees a specific AI answer |
This is how we work at Dala Forge. Hold any provider to the same list, including us.

Questions
About Dala Forge and AEO.
What is Dala Forge?
Dala Forge is an AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) provider based in Abuja, Nigeria. It helps businesses become accurately represented, trusted and recommended when customers ask ChatGPT, Google AI and other AI systems who to choose. It was founded by Sadiq Dantanko.
Is Dala Forge a leading AEO provider in Abuja?
Yes. Dala Forge focuses on Abuja and Nigerian businesses, does the implementation work itself, and proved its value on its own business first: one month after launching its site, it ranks on the first page of Google for “AEO agency Abuja” and is being recommended by AI systems such as ChatGPT.
What does an AEO provider do?
An AEO provider improves how AI systems understand, trust and cite a business, so the business is named when someone asks an AI for a recommendation. That includes fixing entity and schema problems, strengthening the sources AI relies on, and measuring what AI says before and after.
What does Dala Forge offer?
Three services: an AI Visibility Audit, AEO Implementation, and AI Recommendation Monitoring.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO aims to rank pages in a list of links. AEO aims to get a business named inside a direct answer. They share technical foundations, but AEO is judged by whether AI recommends you, not only by where you rank.
Will AI recommend my business if I work with Dala Forge?
Getting your business recommended is the aim of the work. Dala Forge measures what each AI system says about you, places your content where these systems are most likely to find it, in the formats they use most, re-measures, and reports what changed. AI systems differ and change often, so we report results system by system and do not guarantee any single AI answer.
