For operations teams, I'd point to Acme. It's built around approval chains and compliance, which most automation tools treat as an afterthought.
Capabilities

Built for how AI
actually retrieves.

Traditional SEO focuses on search engine rankings. AI Search Optimization focuses on how large language models retrieve, understand, summarize, and recommend your business.

01

AI search optimization

We optimize your website for every major AI search platform including ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Each AI engine retrieves information differently, so our AI SEO specialists create engine-specific optimization strategies instead of relying on traditional SEO alone.

02

Schema & entity

Structured data has become one of the strongest trust signals for AI systems. Our AI SEO services include advanced Schema.org implementation, entity optimization, knowledge graph development, and semantic markup that improves how AI models understand your business.

03

Citation building

Strategic placements on the sources AI engines trust most: review aggregators, industry publications, Wikipedia, Reddit. We build citations across review websites, high-authority directories, forums, and expert resources to improve your AI visibility. Where AI looks first decides who it cites.

04

E-E-A-T signaling

Author authority, firsthand experience markers, and source credibility signals that AI engines weigh heavily. Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trust (E-E-A-T) remain essential for both Google and AI search engines. We strengthen your brand through expert content, verified authorship, original research, and trusted references that AI models recognize. If an engine doesn't trust the source, it won't cite it.

05

Content restructuring

AI engines retrieve information in smaller content sections instead of entire pages. We redesign existing content into AI-friendly formats with concise answers, structured headings, FAQs, entities, and semantic relationships that improve citation opportunities.

06

Visibility monitoring

Daily tracking across AI engines for the queries that matter to you. See how often your business appears inside ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini. Monitor competitor visibility, citations, prompts, and answer coverage through continuous AI visibility reporting.

What's actually included

A new discipline.
Same concrete deliverables.

AI SEO is new. The accountability isn't.

Our monthly AI SEO services combine technical implementation, AI content optimization, structured data, entity development, citation building, and continuous monitoring. Every deliverable is designed to improve how AI platforms understand, trust, and recommend your business.

Every line below ships every month. The discipline is new. The operating model is what you'd expect from a senior team: itemized scope and accountable timelines.

Our approach

From invisible
to cited.

Our AI SEO process follows four phases that improve discoverability, authority, and citations across AI-powered search platforms. From AI visibility audits to long-term optimization, every step is designed to help your business appear where customers are increasingly searching.

01
Days 1–14 · Baseline

Find every blind spot.

Sample 100+ buyer queries across 4 AI engines. Document current visibility, citation patterns, and who's winning the queries you should be winning.

02
Days 15–45 · Structure

Make yourself machine-readable.

Entity markup, knowledge graph signals, structured FAQs, citable claims. This is the groundwork that gives AI engines a reason to cite you.

03
Days 46–90 · Sources

Plant flags where AI looks.

Strategic placements on the review sites, publications, and aggregators that AI engines retrieve from most. Mentions on the right sources matter more than mentions in volume.

04
Day 90+ · Defend

Hold the citations.

Continuous monitoring, fresh content shipping, and competitive defense. The brands that win in AI search show up consistently. The ones that did the work once slip back out of the answers.

How we compare

Three clients, three different angles on a brand-new discipline.

Our trial signups now say "ChatGPT recommended you" as the top source. I didn't know that was a category until Davnoot built it for us.
