Updated September 2026 · Written and maintained by the Progression Agency strategy team
This is the index of Progression Agency’s 55 industry-specific answer engine optimization pages. Each covers one industry: the prompts its customers ask AI assistants, the sources assistants cite for it, what a business in that industry has to publish to be quoted, the facts it must state as text, how AI visibility is measured, what an agency should deliver, and what it costs. The pages carry every name the service goes by, including GEO, AI SEO, AI search optimization, LLM SEO, AI visibility and ChatGPT optimization, and Progression Agency provides the work from New York for businesses across the United States.

The short answerThere are 55 industry pages, grouped below by sector. Each applies one method to one industry’s prompts, sources and facts, and each is measured the same way: a fixed prompt set run monthly, citation share recorded, and inquiries that mention an assistant logged.
Comparisons are based on each project’s official documentation as linked in the text. Progression Agency builds with all of the technologies compared and has no affiliate relationship with any of them.
What every AEO industry page covers
Each page is written for one industry and answers the same questions in that industry’s terms: which prompts customers actually ask assistants, which sources the assistants cite for that trade or profession, what a business has to publish to be quoted, which facts have to be stated as text (licenses, prices, insurance, hours, credentials), how retrievability and corroboration are fixed, how AI visibility is measured monthly, what an agency should deliver, and what it costs. The answer engine optimization agency page explains the method once; the industry pages apply it.
| Section | What it answers | Why an assistant needs it |
|---|---|---|
| Prompts by need | What customers ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Mode about this industry | The prompt set is the unit of measurement |
| Sources assistants cite | Directories, regulators, review sites and publishers for this industry | Corroboration is checked against them |
| What to publish | The pages and facts that get a business quoted | Assistants quote specific, extractable pages |
| Facts as text | Licenses, prices, insurance, hours, credentials stated plainly | Verification prompts are answered from stated facts |
| Measurement | Citation share and assistant-referred inquiries, monthly | Progress is a number, not an impression |
| Cost | Published ranges for audits, retainers and remediation | Buyers compare on published ranges |
