Questions

Frequently asked questions

What teams ask most about growth strategy and getting found in AI search.

What is AI visibility, and how is it different from SEO?

AI visibility (also called generative engine optimization, or GEO) is about how your brand appears when people ask AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini for recommendations. Traditional SEO optimizes for ranked blue links on Google; AI visibility optimizes the content, structure, and entity signals that language models draw on when they generate an answer and decide which brands to mention.

Which AI platforms do you optimize for?

We focus on the platforms your buyers actually use to make decisions, primarily ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini. We benchmark how you appear across each, then optimize content and structured data so you are represented accurately and consistently.

How long before we see results?

A visibility audit delivers findings and a prioritized action plan within the engagement itself. Measurable movement in AI mentions and growth metrics typically follows over the weeks after implementation begins, depending on your starting point, category competitiveness, and how quickly changes ship.

Who do you typically work with?

B2B SaaS companies, growth-stage brands, and in-house marketing teams that need a senior strategic partner. Engagements range from a focused audit to a defined growth and MarTech sprint to embedded fractional growth leadership.

How do engagements and pricing work?

Every engagement starts with a short conversation about your goals and current challenges. From there we scope the right format, a defined-scope audit, a project sprint, or ongoing advisory, and share a proposal with clear deliverables. Pricing depends on scope, so the best next step is to book a consultation.
