About Corey Fox

I’m a senior technical SEO specialist with 7+ years of hands-on experience in crawl auditing, schema markup, Core Web Vitals, and — more recently — Answer Engine Optimization (AEO): the practice of getting brands cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

Most of my work is done as a white-label fulfillment partner for digital marketing agencies. Agencies bring me in when their retainer clients have technical SEO problems they can’t solve in-house, or when clients start asking about AI search visibility and the agency doesn’t have an answer yet.

I handle the execution. The agency keeps the client relationship.

Why AEO — and Why Now

Traditional SEO hasn’t died. But something has changed: rankings are holding while traffic is dropping for a growing number of sites. The reason is AI Overviews and zero-click search — Google is answering questions before users click. ChatGPT and Perplexity are answering before users even reach Google.

The brands that appear in those AI-generated answers aren’t there by accident. They’ve implemented the infrastructure — structured data, entity authority, citation architecture — that AI engines use to decide what to cite.

That infrastructure is what I build. I call the practice AEO (Answer Engine Optimization), though you’ll also see it called GEO (Generative Engine Optimization). The terminology is still settling. The problem is real now.

What I Actually Do

  • Technical SEO audits — crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, schema markup, internal linking, on-page signals. Delivered in 48 hours with a prioritized action plan.
  • AEO implementation — structured data strategy, entity optimization, citation architecture to improve AI search visibility across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
  • Monthly technical retainers — ongoing crawl monitoring, schema maintenance, GSC tracking, and deliverables for agency clients who need consistent technical oversight.
  • White-label fulfillment for agencies — all of the above, delivered under the agency’s brand at a margin that works for both sides.

Background

I’ve been doing technical SEO since before structured data was table stakes and before Core Web Vitals were a ranking factor. I’ve audited e-commerce sites, B2B SaaS platforms, multi-location service businesses, and everything in between.

I work independently — no agency overhead, no junior staff running your audit. When you work with me, the work comes from me.
