When a buyer asks ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot or Google's AI Overviews who to hire, we want your brand in the reply. GEO, AEO and technical SEO run as one plan here, and an engineer checks every claim before it goes live.
Google rankings still count, and several of these engines read from them. But a ranking is a link the buyer may never click. A mention inside the answer is the shortlist itself.
The vocabulary is messy, so here is how we use it.
| Term | What it targets | What a win looks like |
|---|---|---|
| AI SEO | Every AI search surface, taken together | Your brand named and linked across AI answers |
| GEO (generative engine optimization) | Generated answers in ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity | Cited as a source, or recommended by name |
| AEO (answer engine optimization) | Direct answers in AI Overviews, featured snippets and voice search | Your wording is the answer people see |
| LLM SEO | How language models describe your company | The model gets your facts right every time |
If you only need one piece of this, we also run it on its own: AEO, GEO or LLM SEO.
Ask an assistant for the best agency, tool or platform in your category and you will usually get three to five names. That list comes from whatever sources the engine read for the question, so a brand can rank first on Google and still be left out.
Review sites, comparison articles, forum threads, news coverage and your own pages all feed the answer. Page-one rankings help you get read. Getting named usually takes a mention on one of those outside sources too.
Say your site calls you a platform, LinkedIn calls you an agency and an old directory lists last year's pricing. A model faced with that tends to hedge or leave you out, and one agreed description fixes most of it.
Plenty of sites block GPTBot, PerplexityBot or ClaudeBot without anyone deciding to (a security plugin or CDN rule usually does it). Others load their main copy with scripts these crawlers never run. We check both in week one.
Each workstream is tied to something an AI engine checks before it names a brand. Most clients need all six; the audit tells us which ones to start with.
We run 50+ prompts your buyers actually ask through the major engines, then log who gets named, who gets a citation and which sites the engines pulled from.
See the audit →AI bots get crawl access. Your copy renders on the server, your structured data is cleaned up, and you get an llms.txt file that points engines to the pages you want quoted.
We write a single description of what you sell and who you sell to. Then we match it on your site, LinkedIn, Crunchbase, the review platforms and every directory that lists you.
Your money pages get rebuilt around the questions buyers type into AI. The answer goes first, followed by the comparison table, the pricing context and an FAQ an engine can lift without editing.
Engines trust what others say about you more than what you say. Our PR network covers 140+ media partners, and we add creator, community and review work so outside sources start naming you.
You see mentions, citations, share of voice against named competitors and referral traffic from AI engines each month. Every figure links back to where it came from.
Each engine finds its sources a little differently. The groundwork is shared, and the finishing work changes per engine.
| Engine | Where it looks | What we do for it |
|---|---|---|
| ChatGPT | Live web search, well-known comparison lists, reviews, forum threads | Get you onto the lists and threads it cites, and make your own pages easy to quote |
| Google AI Overviews and AI Mode | Google's index, mostly pages that already rank | Rank the supporting pages first, then shape their answer blocks, tables and schema |
| Perplexity | Fresh retrieval, with a visible citation for each claim | Keep the pages it reads current, dated and specific |
| Gemini | Google's index plus what Google knows about your company | Tighten your entity data and your Google profiles |
| Claude and Copilot | Their search partners' indexes and well-known sources | Make sure those indexes can crawl you, and that trusted sites describe you correctly |
Ahrefs tracking from August 2026 shows Blockchain App Factory cited 66 times across seven AI platforms. Google's AI surfaces account for most of them, and ChatGPT and Copilot for the fewest.
Growth in RWA visibility after we built positioning, content, PR and creator work around a live product on the network.
Read the case study →Reach growth in twelve weeks of PR, creator programs, community work and developer outreach.
Read the case study →Hedera and Polygon were full marketing campaigns; search and AI visibility were one channel in each. All 14 published case studies are on the site.
Every campaign runs at least three months. You get a named strategist, and anything that is not working by week four gets cut.
We test prompts across the engines, measure your share of voice against competitors and check crawl access, rendering and your company data. The findings are yours whether or not you sign.
We agree the one sentence you want AI to repeat about you. It has to hold up against your product and rest on facts you can publish.
Technical fixes go in first. Then come rewritten money pages, new answer pages, profile cleanup and the PR and creator work aimed at the sites the engines cite.
Prompt tracking runs monthly, so we see gaps as they open. New content and outside mentions fill them, and visibility keeps building after launch.
A good SEO agency can cover part of this, and a strong in-house team can cover more. The gap usually shows up in measurement and in outside mentions.
| Blockchain App Factory | Typical SEO agency | In-house / DIY | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main goal | Named and cited in AI answers, plus Google rankings | Google rankings and traffic | Varies |
| What gets measured | Mentions, citations, share of voice, AI referrals | Rankings and sessions | Often nothing AI-specific |
| AI crawler and rendering checks | Week one | Sometimes | Rarely |
| Outside mentions | 140+ media partners, 3,500+ vetted creators | Link building | Limited reach |
| Who checks claims | In-house engineers, plus a compliance review | Writers | Your team |
| Pricing | Published on this page | Usually "contact us" | Team time and tools |
Every engagement starts with a free AI visibility audit, so we can recommend the smallest package that will do the job. Prices are per campaign and every paid plan runs for at least three months.

An AI SEO agency gets your brand mentioned in answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot and Google AI Overviews. The work combines technical fixes, pages written as direct answers, consistent company data and mentions on outside sites, and it is measured by how often those engines name and cite you compared with your competitors.
Traditional SEO aims to rank a page in a list of links. AI SEO aims to get your brand named inside the answer itself. The two overlap, since several engines read from Google's index, but AI SEO adds crawler access for AI bots, a consistent company profile and mentions on the outside sources engines trust.
AI SEO is the umbrella term for every AI search surface. GEO targets generated answers in tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Perplexity. AEO targets direct answers in AI Overviews, featured snippets and voice search. We run each on its own or all three together.
No, and nobody honest can. Engines choose their sources themselves and re-weigh them over time. What we can do is fix what blocks you, improve how you are described, earn mentions on sources engines already cite, and show you the measured change every month.
Technical fixes and rewritten pages can be picked up within weeks, but engines take time to re-crawl a site and re-weigh their sources. That is why every paid plan runs at least three months, and why anything not working by week four gets cut or swapped.
We run a fixed set of 50+ buyer prompts through the major engines and log who gets named, who gets a citation and which sites were used. Each month you see mentions, citations, share of voice against named competitors and referral traffic from AI engines, with every figure linked to its source.
Start with the engine your buyers actually use, which the free audit shows. Much of the groundwork is shared across engines, so the early fixes help everywhere, and the finishing work then changes per engine.
Yes, but mentions matter more than raw link counts. Engines lean on review sites, comparison articles, forum threads and news coverage, so a mention on one of those sources helps you get named. Our PR, creator and review outreach targets those sites.
Our prices are published on this page. The audit is free, Starter begins at $7,500 per campaign and Growth at $15,000 per campaign, each with a three-month minimum. Enterprise is scoped after the audit. Media spend and creator fees are billed on top.
No. We work with SaaS, fintech, ecommerce and B2B brands whose buyers research with AI before they talk to sales. We also run crypto and Web3 projects, and that work has its own page.
Send us your category and two or three competitors. We will put your buyers' questions to the major AI engines and show you who gets named, where those names come from and what to fix first. There is no sales deck, and the findings are yours to keep.
