What we actually do,
service by service.

Five pieces of work that move AI answers, each with a clear output you can check. Most clients start with the audit and add the rest in the order the audit recommends.

01Service

AI Visibility Audit

Where you stand, question by question.

A baseline of how AI describes your business today: which buyer questions name you, which name a competitor, which sources the answers lean on and which facts are wrong.

What we do

  • Agree 60 buyer questions with you, by service, stage and location
  • Run each one on all six platforms, more than once
  • Log every business named, in order, and every source cited
  • Flag wrong prices, services, locations and details
  • Check crawler access, rendering and indexing on key pages
  • Rank every gap by effort and likely impact

How it’s measured

Share of answer and citations per platform. This becomes the baseline every later month is compared to.

Technical AEO

Make sure AI can reach and read you.

The access layer. If a crawler is blocked, or your prices and FAQs only appear after JavaScript runs, no amount of content will get you quoted.

What we do

  • Review robots.txt, CDN and firewall rules for AI search crawlers
  • Test key pages with JavaScript off
  • Verify Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools, submit sitemaps
  • Set up IndexNow for faster Bing and Copilot updates
  • Write and validate schema that matches the page
  • Monitor server logs for AI crawler visits and errors

Key pages fetched with a 200 by each crawler, indexed in Google and Bing, and readable without JavaScript.

Answer-Ready Content

Pages built to be quoted.

Service pages, comparisons, cost guides and FAQ hubs written so an engine can lift a clear, accurate answer from the first sentences, then find the proof underneath.

What we do

  • Briefs built from your real buyer questions
  • Rewrites of your top service and location pages
  • Cost guides with real prices or honest ranges
  • Comparison pages that are fair to competitors
  • FAQ hubs that cover the follow-up questions
  • Expert review, bylines and update dates

Citations & Accuracy

Get named by the sources AI trusts.

AI repeats what other sites say about you. We map the sources that shape answers in your category, earn mentions on them and correct wrong facts where they start.

What we do

  • Map the domains cited most in your category’s answers
  • Build and clean up review-site profiles
  • Pitch roundups, trade press and comparison articles
  • Answer real questions in communities your buyers use
  • Trace each wrong fact to its source and request a correction
  • Keep listings and data providers in sync

Measurement & Reporting

One scorecard, every month.

The same 60 questions, re-run on every platform every month, written up for people who don’t live in dashboards. You see what moved, why, and what we’ll do next.

What we do

  • Re-test the full prompt set monthly
  • Track share of answer by platform and by competitor
  • Log citations earned and lost, with URLs
  • Keep an accuracy log of what AI says about you
  • Tag AI referral traffic in GA4
  • Set next month’s three priorities with you

Accuracy and access

We find what’s wrong.
Then we fix it.

Three problems keep good businesses out of AI answers: an outdated fact AI keeps repeating, a crawler blocked by a security rule, and no page that answers the question directly.

Does Payroster charge extra for multi-state payroll?
What AI said

Payroster charges an extra fee for each additional state you run payroll in.

Traced to: an old review-site comparison table
The facts, now cited

Multi-state payroll is included in every Payroster plan at no extra cost.

Six steps, the same for every client. Each one ends in something you can see and check.

  1. 01
    Prompt set design

    We build 60 buyer questions with you, spread across discovery, comparison, decision and validation. They come from sales calls, reviews and search data, phrased the way people actually ask.

  2. 02
    Platform sampling

    Each question runs on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, Gemini, Perplexity and Copilot, in clean sessions, with location set where it matters. Answers vary, so we run them more than once and record what holds.

AEO vs a traditional SEO agency

An AEO agency,
not SEO with a new label.

We still do the SEO fundamentals, because AI search is built on them. The difference is what we aim at, and what we report back to you.
