What is AI saying about your brand right now?

Most brands have never checked, and the answers are often outdated, incomplete or simply wrong.

AI pulls from your website, reviews, directories, old press coverage and forums. When those sources disagree, it fills the gaps with whatever it finds. That can mean services you no longer offer, old pricing, a closed location, or a competitor named where you should be.

We find those errors, trace each one to the sources behind it, and correct the record.

How AI decides what to cite

Retrieval. AI searches the web for passages that might answer the question.

Chunking. It breaks your pages into small sections and judges each one on its own.

Citation. It picks the sources it trusts most, based on clarity, consistency and what other credible sites say about you.

Kind of sounds like SEO, right?  It’s everything optimization, though, looking beyond just your owned and influenced properties.

Why does AI search matter for your business now?

Your buyers are asking AI for recommendations before they ever reach your website.

Buyers start with AI. More research now begins with a question in ChatGPT or Google’s AI results instead of a list of links.

AI shapes the shortlist. When AI names three options, many buyers compare only those three.

Rankings aren’t enough. Strong Google rankings don’t guarantee that AI includes you in its answer.

Visibility has to convert. A mention only matters if it leads to a call, a demo or a sale.

        AI Search Agency FAQs

        What is AI search optimization (AEO/GEO)?

        AI search optimization is the work of getting your brand found, cited and accurately described in AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Perplexity and similar tools. It covers content, technical SEO, off-site authority and monitoring.

        Is AEO different from GEO?

        No. Answer engine optimization (AEO) and generative engine optimization (GEO) describe the same work. Different agencies prefer different labels, but the goal and the tactics are the same.

        Which AI platforms do you optimize for?

        ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Google AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and Microsoft Copilot. We prioritize the platforms your buyers actually use, based on your audience and your analytics.

        How do you measure AI Search success?

        We track how AI sees you (mentions, citation rate, share of voice, accuracy, sentiment) and what that produces (AI-referred visits, leads, pipeline and revenue). You get both in a monthly report.

        Can our ads appear in AI Overviews, AI Mode or ChatGPT?

        In many cases, yes. Ad placements are available or expanding in several AI search experiences. Because we run paid search too, we plan paid and organic AI visibility together and avoid paying for clicks you’d earn organically.

        What does it cost, and can we start small?

        The AI snapshot is free. The diagnostic is a fixed $500 over 3–4 weeks. Ongoing programs start at $3000 per month. Most clients start with the diagnostic so the plan is built on real data.
