AI SEARCH OPTIMIZATION

Get recommended when buyers ask AI.

Your buyers ask ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity who to hire before they reach Google. In many industries like legal, healthcare, finance, logistics, and e-commerce, we make sure the answer is you, with citations that hold up.

WHAT WE TUNE

The technical work behind getting cited.

These are the levers that move how AI engines find, read, and quote you.

AI answer · before and after

ChatGPTNot named. Lists three competitors.Named, with a cited link to your services page.
PerplexityMentioned once, no source.Cited as a primary source with an accurate one-line description.
ClaudeDescribes you with stale, wrong pricing.Describes you from your llms.txt, pricing correct.
GeminiAbsent from the AI Overview.Appears in the overview with your schema-fed snippet.
Structured data graph

Organization, Service, FAQ, and Breadcrumb schema with cross-linked IDs, so an engine can resolve who you are and what you sell.

Structured data is how an engine resolves who you are, not just which page ranks.
llms.txt and llms-full.txt

Clean, extractable summaries of your offering and pricing at the paths AI-native crawlers read first.

The llms.txt convention is already used by Anthropic, Cursor, and Vercel.
Content structured for citation

Direct-answer blocks, inline statistics, and attributed claims, because engines extract passages, not pages.

Adding statistics to a page raised its visibility in AI answers by 41% (Princeton GEO study, KDD 2024).
Entity and authority consistency

One consistent description of your brand across your site, schema, and the public web, so models stop guessing.

Quotations and cited sources lifted visibility 28% and up to 115% in the same study (Princeton, KDD 2024).
Crawler access plus Bing and IndexNow

The AI-crawler allow-list and Bing indexing that gate ChatGPT Search citation entirely.

ChatGPT Search reads the Bing index, not Google.
Multi-engine monitoring

Tracking of how often you are cited and how you are described across the major engines, on a schedule.

Being cited by one engine does not mean being cited by the next.

WHERE YOU SHOW UP

Six engines. One you.

We optimize for every engine your buyers actually use, not just one. Each one finds you a different way.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

The honest version. No guarantees we can't keep.

The questions every serious buyer asks, answered plainly.

WHAT IF

“We can't promise you rank first in AI answers.”

MEASURED VISIBILITY, NOT GUARANTEES

No honest firm can guarantee a black-box ranking. We baseline how often each engine names you for your queries, do the work, and re-measure. You see the before and after, not a promise.

WHAT IF

“This is not traditional SEO.”

DIFFERENT RETRIEVAL LOGIC

Google ranks pages. Answer engines retrieve and cite passages. We structure your content and data so a model can lift an accurate, attributed answer about you.

WHAT IF

“Measuring a black box sounds impossible.”

CITATION TRACKING ACROSS ENGINES

We track how often you are cited and how you are described across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity for the queries that matter to you, on a schedule.

WHAT IF

“AI engines keep changing.”

THAT IS WHAT MANAGED VISIBILITY IS FOR

Retrieval logic shifts often. The audit and build set the foundation. The optional retainer keeps it tuned as engines and your offers change.

WHAT IF

“We're cautious about AI exposure.”

WE CONTROL WHAT IS PUBLISHED

We optimize your public surface and structured data. We do not feed your private data to any engine, and the crawler allow-list stays your decision.

HONEST PRICING

Three ways in. Start with the audit.

Most agencies sell a year-long retainer sight unseen. We start with a fixed audit, so you see where you stand before committing to anything.

HOW WE'D BUILD YOURS

Four steps from invisible to cited.

Baseline, fix, re-measure, then keep it tuned. The first three are the audit and build. The fourth is optional.

Baseline

Days 1-2

We query every major engine for your priority terms and capture how often you are named, how you are described, and where the gaps are.

2

Fix

Days 3-10

Structured data, llms.txt, content restructured for citation, entity consistency, and crawler plus Bing and IndexNow setup.

3

Re-measure

After the fixes land

We re-run the same queries and show you the before and after on the visibility scorecard.

4

Monitor

Ongoing, optional

Managed Visibility keeps it tuned as engines and your offers change, with alerts when your standing moves.
