Own the AI answer before your competitors do
AI platforms are answering the questions your customers used to Google. If your brand isn't being cited, you're invisible to a growing share of your market.
The imperative
The AEO imperative
By the end of 2026, an estimated 40% of informational queries will be answered by AI directly. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini are not just search engines — they are recommendation engines.
When a prospect asks “What’s the best [your category] provider?”, the AI cites specific brands. Yours needs to be one of them.
Methodology
Three pillars of AEO
Citation monitoring
We track what AI engines say about your brand — and your competitors — across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini. Most businesses have never checked.
Authority architecture
We build the content, backlinks, and structured data that make AI engines confident in citing your brand as a trusted source.
Competitive intelligence
We map the AI citation landscape in your category. Who is being cited, for what queries, and where the gaps are.
Relevance
Who needs AEO
CMOs and Marketing Directors
Your brand’s AI visibility is a board-level concern. If competitors are being cited and you are not, the gap compounds with every query answered.
CEOs and Founders
AI search is the biggest shift in digital visibility since Google. Your strategy needs to account for it now, not after your competitors have established themselves.
Investors
AI citation presence is becoming a valuation factor. The brands being recommended by AI platforms today are building compounding advantages that will be difficult to close.
All C-suite
If your competitors are being cited and you are not, the gap compounds daily. Every AI-answered query where your brand is absent is a lost opportunity that reinforces the status quo.
Synergy
AEO and SEO: symbiotic
AEO and SEO are not competing disciplines. They reinforce each other. Strong SEO builds the domain authority, content depth, and backlink profile that AI engines use to determine which brands to cite.
In the other direction, AEO visibility drives branded search queries that SEO captures. When an AI engine recommends your brand, the next action is often a Google search for your name. That is traffic SEO converts.
