FAQ
Common questions
What is Ice Cold Marketing?
Ice Cold Marketing is a Fort Lauderdale, Florida SEO and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) agency. Tim Schmidt founded it; he has worked in SEO since 2001. The agency helps businesses rank in Google and get recommended by AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews.
What is Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)?
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is the work of making your business easy for AI systems to understand, trust, and cite. That covers clear entity information, structured data, direct answers to common questions, consistent business details across the web, and earned mentions from credible sources.
How is AEO different from SEO?
SEO gets your pages ranked in search results. AEO gets your business mentioned in the answers AI tools write. They overlap a lot: both need strong content, technical health, and authority. AEO adds extra focus on clear answers, structured data, and brand mentions across the web.
Do you only work with Fort Lauderdale businesses?
No. We're based in Fort Lauderdale and do a lot of local SEO for South Florida businesses, but we also work with national and online brands.
