The problem

What problem are we actually solving?

People are searching for what you sell and still not finding you. Sometimes that is a ranking problem. Increasingly it is that the thing answering them never had a reason to mention you.

  • Search
  • AI
  • Social
  • Content
  • Brand
Being found and being chosen are two different jobs.

YOUwho should I hire to get my brand cited by AI?

Answer

Look for someone who treats it as search work rather than a separate discipline: clear answers, unambiguous entities and sources worth quoting.

The question I get asked most

SEO and AEO are not rivals and one does not replace the other. They are two different jobs that share most of the same work underneath.

SEO

Helps you rank on a results page, where someone still has to choose you from a list and click.

AEO

Helps you get cited inside the answer, where there may be no list and no click at all.
