We run answer engine optimization as a managed service: technical SEO, entity and schema work, citation-ready content, and authority building that puts your brand inside the answers buyers now read instead of the links they used to click.
Answer engine visibility fails for technical, structural or credibility reasons. We run all four disciplines as one program so a citation is never blocked by the layer nobody owned.
We engineer the way large language models describe, quote and recommend your brand across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Google AI Overviews.
Crawl, render, index and speed work that makes sure the pages you want cited are actually available to retrieval systems and to Google.
Structured data, entity graphs and knowledge-base alignment so models can attribute facts to you with confidence.
Citation-ready content, digital PR and third-party corroboration that give models independent reasons to quote you.
Each phase has an exit condition, and nothing moves forward until the evidence says it can.
We benchmark your brand across a fixed prompt panel in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and AI Overviews, then compare it with your real search and revenue data.
Crawler policy, rendering, index hygiene and entity markup are repaired so retrieval systems can read, resolve and trust your pages.
Answer-first pages, comparison tables, schema and machine-readable fact sheets are shipped around the prompts worth winning.
Original research, digital PR and third-party placement give models independent evidence, then we re-measure and expand to the next cluster.
Most agencies still report rankings for a results page that a growing share of buyers never sees. Here is how an AEO program differs.
| Criteria | AI SEO Agency | Traditional SEO agency | In-house generalist | Visibility tools |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary objective | Be included and quoted inside generated answers | Rank pages in a list of results | Depends on the generalist who has capacity | Dashboard visibility without execution |
| Measurement | Fixed prompt panel across five engines plus AI referral revenue | Rankings, impressions and organic sessions | Whatever the existing analytics stack exposes | Citation counts in one or two models |
| Technical work | Crawler policy, rendering, index hygiene, schema and entity graph | Core Web Vitals and index coverage | Reactive fixes between launches | None — recommendations only |
| Content model | Answer-first pages with citable data and corroboration | Keyword-targeted articles and landing pages | Product and campaign content | Template briefs |
| Speed to first result | 2-4 weeks for eligibility, 60-90 days for citation share | 3-6 months for meaningful ranking movement | Unpredictable | Immediate reporting, no outcome |
| Best fit | Competitive categories where buyers research with AI | Broad visibility programs | Early validation with an internal champion | Teams already executing a program internally |
Three representative programs from competitive categories where buyers already research with AI.
A regional personal injury firm with strong rankings and almost no presence in AI answers rebuilt its content and entity layer around the questions models actually ask.
A DTC audio brand rebuilt comparison content and product data so models could confidently recommend specific models for specific use cases.
A data platform with strong analyst coverage but weak answer coverage rebuilt its entity strategy and alternative pages to own the shortlist conversation.
Every vertical asks a different buyer question. We map the ones that decide revenue in yours.
Get named for "best lawyer near me" and jurisdiction questions that now resolve inside AI Overviews and chat answers.
Win product comparison, pricing and "is it worth it" prompts that decide the shortlist before a store visit.
Own category, integration and alternative-comparison answers that shape the vendor shortlist.
Be the practice cited for treatment, recovery and cost questions patients now ask a model first.
Answer local intent and cost questions with the entity signals models need to trust a local provider.
Scale one answer system across many locations without creating duplicate or contradictory facts.
“We stopped guessing what AI says about us. Six weeks in, we were the firm named in the prompts that used to send clients to aggregators.”
“The comparison pages they rebuilt now answer buyer questions better than our own sales team does — and models quote them verbatim.”
“Our category answer went from a competitor monologue to a genuine three-vendor comparison with us first. The reporting is the honest part.”
Everything below is included in a growth retainer. No per-citation billing, no surprise scoping calls.
Audit-only engagements validate the channel. Growth programs run the full loop. Enterprise programs cover multiple divisions, languages and locations with one measurement system.
Traditional SEO optimises for a ranked list of links. We optimise for inclusion inside generated answers, which depends on retrieval access, entity clarity, passage quality and third-party corroboration. Most teams run both, and we work alongside an existing SEO retainer rather than replacing the parts of it that already work.
Technical eligibility fixes often show movement in two to four weeks. Citation share on commercial prompts typically moves within 60 to 90 days, which is why the program commits to that window before judging performance.
No one can guarantee a specific model answer, because retrieval and generation change continuously. We commit to the measurable inputs and to a defined share-of-answer target on a fixed prompt panel, and we report against it every month.
ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot, plus the retrieval systems that feed them. Coverage is part of the audit — we tell you which models already cite competitors in your category.
Access to analytics and Search Console, a technical contact for deployment, and roughly two hours a month for expert review. Everything else runs through our queue and your Slack channel.
Monthly retainers by scope: audit-only engagements for teams validating the channel, growth programs for competitive categories, and enterprise programs with multiple divisions or locations. Pricing is published on the pricing page and there is no per-citation billing.
