  • You are not ready to ship real proof and positioning

What Is AI SEO?

AI SEO (also called LLM SEO, Generative AI SEO, or AI search optimization) is the practice of making your brand discoverable and citable inside AI-generated answers, not just blue links.

  • Buyers ask AI for recommendations, comparisons, alternatives, and “best tools” lists.
  • AI answers prefer brands with consistent positioning and strong third-party evidence.
  • If AI does not trust you, it fills the gap with competitors.

The problem we own

Buyers are searching, but they’re not finding you. Google is only one surface now. AI tools are the other.

Core principle

AI does not rank pages. AI ranks confidence.

Traditional SEO improves relevance. AI SEO improves credibility. We build the signals that make your brand the safe recommendation for both.

What changes
  • Clear entity and category ownership
  • Third-party evidence AI can cite
  • Prompt coverage at buyer intent moments
  • Tracking AI mentions and citations

What we deliver

This is not “AI content.” This is a visibility system designed to make your brand the default recommendation across AI-powered search.

Entity clarity

Positioning AI can repeat accurately

We lock your category, your differentiator, and your language so AI answers stop misclassifying you.

  • Entity definition and category alignment
  • Messaging consistency across web properties
  • High-signal “about” and positioning blocks
Digital evidence

Proof AI can cite

AI trusts what the web confirms. We build a third-party footprint that strengthens recommendation confidence.

  • Citation strategy and placements roadmap
  • Partner content and “evidence hubs”
  • Source-ready pages and claim support
Prompt coverage

Visibility at buyer intent moments

We map the prompts buyers use and build coverage across comparisons, alternatives, best-of, and category queries.

  • Prompt map for your ICP and category
  • Pages and content built to win those prompts
  • Visibility tracking and iteration loops

Want the exact plan for your category?

We will show you how AI currently describes your category, where you appear, where you do not, and what to fix first.

How we run AI SEO

Simple, direct, execution-first. We build the minimum set of signals required for AI systems to trust you, then scale what works.

1

Baseline and prompt map

We benchmark your current AI visibility and map the prompts buyers use to evaluate tools like yours.

2

Evidence gaps

We identify what AI cannot confidently claim about you and where competitors have stronger proof.

3

Ship signals

We publish and distribute source-ready assets: pages, proof, citations, and partner placements.

4

Track and compound

We monitor prompt outcomes, citations, and referrals, then expand coverage to new intent clusters.

What you will not get

AI SEO is not a blog factory. It is credibility engineering.

  • Random “AI blogs” written for volume
  • A dashboard with no decisions
  • Vague promises without proof

What you will get

Clear positioning, strong evidence, and repeatable visibility across AI tools and Google.

Proof that reduces risk

AI SEO becomes believable when buyers can see the delta.

AI SEO FAQs

Is AI SEO the same as traditional SEO?

Traditional SEO is about ranking pages. AI SEO is about earning trust signals across the web so AI tools can cite and recommend you accurately.

Which AI tools does this cover?

We design for AI-powered discovery across tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and AI-driven search experiences. The goal is consistent trust signals, not chasing one platform.

How do you measure AI visibility?

Prompt testing, mention frequency, citation presence, and referral patterns. We track where you appear, why you appear, and what changes increase recommendation confidence.

Who is this not for?

If you want quick hacks, low-cost blog volume, or reports without accountability, this is not a fit. AI SEO requires real positioning and evidence.

What do you need from us?

Access to your current positioning, product details, and proof assets. We can work with what you have, but stronger evidence compounds faster.
