The agency behind the citations

The AI SEO agency

Your buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews who to trust — and an AI engine names a handful of brands. Davnoot is an independent AI SEO agency built for exactly that moment: we engineer your presence so retrieval systems choose you, and we prove it with daily tracking.

What you're actually hiring

What an AI SEO agency
actually does.

A real AI SEO agency doesn't rank pages — it engineers your brand to be retrieved, trusted, and cited by the systems answering your buyers' questions.

The market is full of agencies that renamed their SEO retainer "AI SEO" without changing the work. The tell is simple: ask how they measure. If the answer is rankings and traffic, it's a traditional SEO service with a new label. An AI SEO agency measures citations — when engines name you, where in the answer, and against which competitors.

Our AI search optimization practice was built retrieval-first: entity and schema engineering, citation-source building, content restructured for extraction, and daily visibility monitoring across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews.

How to choose

Vetting an AI SEO agency?
Ask these six things.

Use this checklist on every agency you evaluate — including us. The wrong hire costs you two quarters in a channel that compounds early.

01

How do you measure?

The only honest answer is citation tracking across engines. If they report rankings and call it AI SEO, walk. We track 50+ priority queries daily and show every citation earned.

02

Engine-specific strategy?

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and AI Overviews retrieve differently. An agency treating them as one "AI channel" hasn't done the technical homework.

03

Entity & schema depth?

Ask to see a schema implementation they've shipped. Structured data is the difference between "mentioned" and "cited" — and most agencies skip it entirely.

04

Where do citations come from?

AI engines trust review aggregators, industry publications, Wikipedia, and Reddit. A real agency builds presence on those sources — not just your own blog.

05

What ships monthly?

Itemized deliverables, not "ongoing optimization." Our scope is public: audits, schema, placements, 10–15 pages restructured, and a monthly strategy review.

06

Proof of outcomes?

Not screenshots — attributed pipeline. Our benchmark: a B2B SaaS client now sources 22% of pipeline from AI engines, with "ChatGPT recommended you" as the top trial origin.

How we compare

Most agencies rebranded.
We rebuilt.

The difference between an AI SEO agency and an SEO agency with new slides shows up in the work — and in whether you get cited.

FAQ

Hiring questions,
answered straight.

What is an AI SEO agency?+
An AI SEO agency gets your brand cited by AI engines — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews — when they answer your buyers' questions. The work spans entity and schema engineering, citation-source building, content restructured for retrieval, and continuous visibility monitoring. It's a distinct discipline from traditional SEO, which optimizes pages for rankings rather than answers.
How do I know an agency actually does AI SEO?+
Ask how they measure. A real AI SEO agency tracks citations — when and where engines name you — across multiple platforms, and shows you the raw data. If the reporting is rankings, sessions, and a quarterly PDF, it's traditional SEO wearing a new label.
Do I still need traditional SEO if I hire an AI SEO agency?+
Yes — the two compound. Traditional search still drives most qualified traffic, and the authority signals it builds feed AI retrieval too. Most of our clients run both disciplines in one engagement, so neither channel starves the other.
How long before an AI SEO agency shows results?+
First citations typically land within 60–90 days, and consistent visibility across engines for priority queries takes 4–6 months. Because we sample queries daily, you see progress weekly instead of waiting a quarter to learn whether the retainer is working.
How much does an AI SEO agency cost?+
It depends on scope. We offer a one-time visibility audit for brands that want a baseline first, a monthly program (6-month minimum) for brands ready to own their category's AI answers, and custom enterprise engagements for multi-brand or multi-market operators. Book a call and we'll scope it honestly.
