i handle marketing for a few pool companys in FL. this year we noticed a chunk of leads were drying up even though rankings held steady. figured out people are asking chatgpt and perplexity stuff like "who should i hire to replaster my pool in tampa" and there getting answers that aren't us.

hired an agency in february that said they did AEO. four months later i looked at what they actaully did. backlinks and meta descriptions. thats it. same stuff i could of done myself for free.

before that i tried doing structured data and FAQ pages on our own sites. barley moved anything.

is the whole AEO category just a rebrand? genuinely asking because i cant tell anymore

Restoring a 1972 Hinckley Bermuda 40. Need genuine teak, probably 200 BF mix of 4/4 and 8/4 for toe rails, coaming caps, cockpit sole grates, and hatch trim. Not interested in plantation teak (too soft for marine). Where are people sourcing real Burmese/Myanmar teak these days?
