How It Works

Our AEO process.

Getting listed in AI answers requires a specific combination of content authority, structured data, and citation building. Here's how we do it.

01

AI Visibility Audit

We test how your business currently appears across ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity — and identify exactly what's preventing you from showing up.

02

Authority Content Creation

We create and optimize content that AI models pull from when generating answers — structured for how AI reads and trusts sources.

03

Schema & Structured Data

We implement the technical markup that tells AI exactly who you are, what you do, where you're located, and why you're authoritative.

04

Citation & Authority Building

We build the network of mentions, references, and citations that AI models use to verify your credibility as a business.

05

Ongoing Monitoring & Reporting

We track how your business appears in AI results every month and continuously refine the strategy as AI search evolves.
