Frequently asked questions
What AHoosh is, what the AEO Kit costs, what you get for free, and what nobody can promise you.
What is AHoosh?
AHoosh is a small consultancy that helps business owners get found and quoted by AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google's AI answers. It works two ways: self-serve products you download and apply yourself, and hands-on consulting where the work is done for you. It is run from Belgrade and serves small businesses across Europe remotely.
Who is AHoosh for?
Small business owners and the people who market for them: cafes, clinics, salons, shops and small firms that already have a website and a Google Business Profile. It suits you if customers have started asking AI assistants for recommendations and you have no idea whether your business gets named. It is not aimed at large brands with an in-house SEO team.
Where is AHoosh based?
AHoosh is based in Belgrade, Serbia, and works remotely with small businesses across Europe. There is no walk-in office and no shop counter: everything is delivered online, by email, video call and shared documents. Because the work is remote, where you are based rarely matters. What matters is that your business already has a website and a listing to work on.
Who is behind AHoosh?
Hesam Jafarzadeh, a business consultant with 15+ years across B2C, B2B and B2G. He is also a PhD candidate in Software Engineering and E-Business at the University of Belgrade (FON), studying from 2023 to 2027. AHoosh is his practice rather than an agency, so the person you speak to on a call is the person who does the work.
What is the AEO Kit and what does it cost?
The AEO Kit is a set of files you download once and work through in a weekend. It shows you, step by step, how to change your website and online listings so AI assistants can read, understand and mention your business. AEO stands for Answer Engine Optimisation. It costs €49 as a one-time purchase, with no subscription and no per-month fee.
What is included in the AEO Kit?
Six things: a playbook PDF setting out the full method in order; 40 fill-in templates for page rewrites, FAQ blocks and guided AI prompts; a schema snippet pack covering 10 common page types; 25 test prompts for checking whether you appear in AI answers; a monthly tracking sheet; and free quarterly updates by email. One worked example runs through all of it.
How do I buy the AEO Kit?
You cannot buy it yet, because the checkout is not open. The Kit page carries a notify form instead: leave your email and you get one message the moment it opens, and nothing else. When checkout does open, payment will be by card through a secure provider that handles EU VAT, and your download links arrive by email.
What if I buy the Kit and it is not for me?
Fourteen days, full refund, no questions asked. Reply to your purchase email within 14 days of buying and you get your money back, with no form to fill in and no argument about it. The Kit is a download, so there is nothing to send back. This policy applies from the day checkout opens.
Do you guarantee my business will appear in AI answers?
No, and be wary of anyone who promises that. AI engines decide their own answers, and those answers vary from day to day. Nobody controls them. What the Kit and the consulting do is remove the common reasons engines skip you, state your facts in a form machines can read, and give you a way to measure the trend over months.
What is the free AI Visibility Snapshot?
A free 12-point self-check that tells you, in about 10 minutes, whether AI assistants are likely to mention your business. It covers your website with six checks, your presence beyond your site with four, and two direct tests you run yourself in ChatGPT and Perplexity. You give an email address, the PDF arrives, and you score yourself.
What is the Growth Assessment?
A set of free self-tests you take in your browser, with no download and no payment. There is a business assessment, a website and digital presence audit that scans your site's speed and technical health, and six personality tests. The business and website tests combine into one on-screen report with a readiness score out of 100, which you can download as a PDF.
Is the strategy call free or paid?
Paid. A strategy call costs €149. It is a working session rather than a sales pitch: you bring a real decision, and you leave with a considered opinion on it. If you want something free first, the Growth Assessment and the Snapshot both cost nothing but an email address.
What languages does AHoosh work in?
English and Persian. The products, meaning the Kit, the Snapshot and the assessments, are written in English. Consulting, calls and email can be in either English or Persian. If you would rather work in another language, ask before you buy: the honest answer may be no, and it is better for both of us to know that in advance.
How do I get in touch with AHoosh?
Email [email protected]. That is the right address for questions about the Kit, a refund, a call, or anything this page does not answer, and it reaches the founder rather than a support queue. There is also a chat widget in the corner of the site if you would rather type a quick question. You do not need an account to ask.
