Why now

Why AI search optimization matters now, with sources

Three facts we would want to know before buying this ourselves.

–34%

average CTR drop on queries where Google shows an AI Overview in position 1. Organic clicks are being replaced by AI referral traffic.

What an AI SEO agency actually does

Entity optimization

AI models recommend entities, not pages. We make your brand, product and category unambiguous across your site, Wikidata, G2, Crunchbase, LinkedIn and the sources AI engines pull from: consistent names, descriptions, structured data, llms.txt.

Relevance engineering

We reverse-engineer the prompts in your category (“best CRM software”, “HubSpot alternatives”, “how to…”) across Google AI Mode, ChatGPT and Perplexity, then build the content and comparison pages that AI-generated search experiences cite.

Citations and digital PR

AI engines cite listicles, reviews, research and community threads. We earn placements in those sources every month and track which ones become AI citations.

Deep technical SEO still matters

AI search sits on top of the same crawl. Technical SEO, site architecture and content production remain the base. Paid media and conversion rate optimization are coordinated with your team, not replaced.

Three AI search cases with numbers

Who this is for, and who it isn’t

✓ A good fit

  • Products people ask AI assistants to recommend: SaaS tools, apps, services with alternatives
  • A website with basic technical SEO health
  • Someone on your side who can approve content and placements weekly
  • US, UK, EU markets

✗ Probably not a fit

  • Categories where AI assistants don’t recommend products yet (ask us, we’ll check for free)
  • No content budget at all: AI citations need something to cite
  • You expect “#1 in ChatGPT in 30 days”

What we guarantee, and what we don’t

✓ We guarantee

  • Named deliverables every month (placements, pages, fixes) and a weekly written update
  • Prompt-level and page-level reporting you can audit yourself
  • Month-to-month after month 3; leave with 30 days’ notice and keep everything we built

✗ We don’t guarantee

  • A specific position in Google or ChatGPT. Nobody can; anyone who does is selling you a report, not a result
  • Results without your input: we need product access, a content owner and 2 hours of your time per month
  • Traffic from keywords your product can’t convert

Questions we get on every first call

How do you evaluate AI SEO agencies?

Ask for the prompt set and the engines they track, placements by URL, and an AI SEO case study with before-and-after share of voice. Any agency that promises a fixed position in ChatGPT is selling a screenshot.

How do you measure AI visibility if answers change every time?

We run each prompt several times a week across AI platforms and report averages and trends, not single screenshots. You get the raw runs too.

Is AI SEO different from GEO and AEO?

Same discipline, different labels. Generative engine optimization (GEO) is the broad term for visibility in AI engines, answer engine optimization (AEO) is its question-and-answer part. We use one framework for all of it.

Does AI SEO replace traditional SEO?

No. AI engines pull from the same crawled web. Technical SEO, content production and link building remain the base; AI SEO adds entity optimization, citations and AI visibility tracking on top.

How long until we see results?

Technical fixes and first placements land in weeks 1–6. First new citations and ranking gains usually show in weeks 8–12. Compounding growth is a 6–12 month story. We put dates on every step in the roadmap you get after the audit.

We already have an SEO agency or in-house team. Can you work alongside them?

Yes. Most of our engagements run next to an existing team: we own strategy, placements and measurement, they keep publishing. We join your Slack and share one roadmap.

What exactly is in the monthly report?

Prompt-level AI visibility (mentions, citations, share of voice vs competitors), organic traffic and conversions from each channel, placements shipped, and next month’s plan. Weekly: a short Slack update with what shipped.

What do you guarantee?

Scope, cadence and transparency, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee. We do not guarantee a position in Google or ChatGPT. See “What we guarantee and what we don’t” above.
