AEO (a.k.a. AI SEO or GEO) is getting your brand recommended and cited inside AI answers — from the five engines we measure (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Grok) and from AI Overviews, the answer surface we report separately. As buyers ask AI before they shortlist, those citations drive discovery and pipeline. Full explainer.

SEO optimizes for ranked links on a results page. AEO optimizes to be the cited source inside a synthesized AI answer — which leans on entity clarity, structured data, and third-party citations — about 95% of AI citations are third-party (Otterly, State of AI Search) (opens in a new tab) .

We do it for you, full-stack. We measure share-of-model, fix the SEO foundation with real data, and produce the content, social, and (as an add-on) video plus off-site authority end-to-end — AI-accelerated, then you-approved before anything ships. Every asset is tuned to what actually performs in your niche, researched across YouTube, Reddit, Dev.to, Hashnode, Medium, Stack Exchange, and search — not guesswork. See the full-stack service →

We run each buyer prompt 10+ times per engine and report the median with a 95% confidence interval, re-measured on a cadence — never a single screenshot. That reproducibility is the product.

No honest provider can — AI engines change constantly. We guarantee rigorous measurement and evidence-based work, and we tie our retainer to a measurable share-of-model target.

With the free teardown — it shows where AI recommends competitors instead of you, at no cost. Then a paid audit fixes your measured baseline, and a retainer grows it. Add-ons are optional.

No. Every price is fixed and public, you buy online, and retainers are cancel-anytime with no lock-in beyond any prepay term you choose.
