AI search is replacing traditional search. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews are answering questions your customers are asking. Your business needs to be the answer they give.

People are no longer just Googling things. They're asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and voice assistants for recommendations. These AI engines give one answer. You need to be it.
Most businesses haven't started optimizing for AI search yet. That's the window. We help you get in early, build authority with AI engines, and own your category before your competitors figure out what's happening.

002 What We Do
When someone asks an AI for a recommendation in your category, your business needs to be the answer. We make that happen.
Voice queries are conversational and local. "Best dentist near me" — your business needs to be what Siri and Alexa say.
Large language models pull from structured, authoritative sources. We make your content the source they cite.
A new discipline built for AI-generated search results. We optimize your content to appear in AI summaries and featured answers.
AI engines need clearly structured information. We implement schema markup that makes your business easy for AI to understand and recommend.
AEO content is written the way people talk and ask questions, not the way people type keywords. We write for both.
