Growth · AI Search Optimization

AI search optimization for the new way people find answers.

We help AI tools like Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini understand your brand, trust your expertise and mention you when it's relevant.

The problem

Customers are asking AI. Is it mentioning you?

More buyers now research by asking AI assistants instead of scrolling through search results.

These tools summarise information from sources they consider clear and trustworthy. If your brand isn't well defined online, your content is hard to quote, or few credible sources mention you, AI answers may recommend competitors instead.

Our process

How we approach AI search.

  1. Step 01

    Benchmark

    We test how AI tools currently describe your brand and category.

  2. Step 02

    Clarify your entity

    We make your brand, people and offerings consistent across your site and the web.

  3. Step 03

    Create quotable content

    We publish and restructure content that answers questions clearly and credibly.

  4. Step 04

    Earn mentions & track

    We build credible mentions and monitor changes in AI answers over time.

An honest note

No one can guarantee AI mentions.

AI tools decide what to include in their answers, and their behaviour changes often. Anyone who promises your brand will appear in ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews is overpromising. What we can do is make your brand clearer, more credible and easier to cite — which improves your chances over time.

It builds on SEO. Strong technical foundations, helpful content and authority all matter. AI search optimization adds a focus on brand clarity, quotable content and mentions across credible sources.

No one can control what AI tools say. We improve the signals these tools rely on, which makes it more likely your brand is understood and mentioned accurately.

We track how AI tools respond to a set of agreed questions in your category over time, and note when and how your brand appears. We report trends honestly, including what we can't measure precisely.
