Your buyers ask AI for a shortlist. Make sure you are on it.

An AI SEO agency optimizes your brand to appear both in traditional search rankings (Google, Bing) and inside AI-generated answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. It combines classic SEO — technical health, content, and links — with generative and answer engine optimization that make your brand a source AI models cite.

Traditional SEO optimizes for ranking a page in a list of blue links. AI SEO also optimizes for being quoted inside an AI answer, where there is often no list at all. That means structuring content for extraction, earning mentions on the third-party sources LLMs trust, and tracking citation share across AI assistants — not only keyword positions.

Classic ranking gains typically take 3–6 months. AI-citation gains can move faster because LLMs re-crawl trusted sources frequently — one of our clients went from 4 to 131 of 214 tracked prompts citing them over eight months, with the first measurable lift inside the first month.

Yes. We audit the exact buying-intent prompts in your category, identify which sources those assistants cite, and engineer your presence into them through structured content, digital PR, and crawler access. We report on the share of target prompts that mention your brand each week.

There is no sticker price, because the honest number depends on how competitive your category is and how far your citation share sits from where it needs to be. The work runs as a monthly retainer sized to that gap, scoped on a first call. We never quote a retainer before we are confident we can win your prompts.

Yes, because the two share a foundation: AI answers are assembled from content and third-party authority, which is exactly what classic SEO produces. A site with broken technical health and no topical depth will struggle to be cited no matter how the content is structured. We run both as one engine rather than as two separate invoices.

Ranking and being cited are different achievements. Assistants assemble answers from sources they trust — review platforms, community threads, industry roundups — and a brand can dominate the blue links while being absent from all of them. The second common cause is mechanical: GPTBot blocked in robots.txt, or pages that render empty without JavaScript.

Usually yes, because incumbency in an AI answer is far less entrenched than a first-position ranking. Answers are reassembled from sources on every crawl, so displacing a competitor is a matter of becoming better represented in the sources the model reads rather than out-waiting a domain that has ranked for a decade. It is competitive, not closed.

The headline metric is citation share: the percentage of your tracked buying-intent prompts whose answers name your brand, reported weekly. Alongside it we report referral traffic and conversions from AI assistants. For our compliance-SaaS client those visitors converted 4.4 times better than classic organic traffic, which matches Semrush’s analysis of 30 million AI-referral sessions.

It depends on whether your buyers research before purchasing. If they ask an assistant for a shortlist, being absent from that shortlist costs you the enquiry regardless of your size, and smaller brands often gain faster because AI answers are less dominated by incumbents than search results are. If your category is decided on price and proximity, local search is the better place to spend first.
