Be the answer when buyers ask AI.
Buyers now ask ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google who to use.We make sure the answer is you.
PerplexityWhat does an AI search optimization agency actually do?
It gets your company named and cited in the answers AI assistants give your buyers.That takes pages that answer buyers' questions directly, structured data the engines can read, and trusted sites that back you up.The result is measured in AI answers, not in rankings.
Is AEO different from SEO, and do you need both?
Yes, and usually yes.SEO earns a place on a results page.AEO, answer engine optimization, earns a place inside the answer itself, where there is often no click.There is no AEO without good SEO, so we make sure the foundations are in place first.

Plans founders act on.
The Blueprint covered ground I didn't expect.Conversion tracking that was silently optimizing for the wrong goal, a signup-to-dashboard drop we'd never quantified, and a positioning angle that was capping our market without us realizing it.Someone who can look at ads, product analytics, and messaging in the same breath and hand you a clear sequence to act on.That's hard to find.
MariusCo-founder, HeroBounceExceptionally detailed and insightful.It laid out exactly what we were missing, broke it into logical sections, and gave concrete recommendations with references throughout.We've already started acting on the first ones.

How do you measure being cited?
Per engine and per question. We check the agreed questions across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers, record which sources each answer cites, and report how often you are named against the baseline taken before the work started.
We already have an SEO agency. Does this replace them?
No, keep them. Good SEO is the foundation AI search is built on, so we check it first and fill any gaps with them. Then we add the layer AI answers need: answer-first pages, structured data, entity signals and third-party sources.
What gets built first?
The SEO foundations, because AI search is built on them: a site that search engines and AI can crawl, read and trust. Alongside them, the prompt map and a baseline, so every result has a starting point. Then the citation layer goes live, and a weekly reading shows what moved.
How fast do we see results?
It depends on your category and on how strong your sources already are. Your Blueprint sets the targets once we know your market, and the weekly reading shows movement per engine from the day the work goes live.
What do you need from us?
One accountable owner, access to your site and analytics in the first week, and about two hours a week for decisions and reviews. We do the work.
