Get found on Google.
Get cited by AI.
Search has changed. People still use Google, but now they also ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Grok. Your business needs to show up in both — and I can help you get there.
How people find information has changed
Google is still important. But increasingly, people are getting answers from AI — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Grok, Google's AI Overviews. They ask questions and get direct answers.
The question is: when AI answers questions about what you do, does it mention you?
This isn't future speculation. It's happening now. And the businesses that show up in these AI responses are the ones with content that's structured, authoritative, and answerable.
Traditional rankings + AI Overviews
Conversational answers with citations
AI-powered research with source citations
Growing AI ecosystem that cites sources
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
Getting your business cited by AI assistants isn't luck. It requires structured, authoritative content that AI systems trust.
Structured for AI
Content organized so AI systems can understand, extract, and cite your information accurately.
Answer-focused content
Clear, direct answers to questions your customers ask — exactly what AI assistants surface.
Citation-ready formatting
Schema markup, clear attributions, and authoritative content that AI systems trust and reference.
Cross-platform visibility
Optimized for Perplexity, ChatGPT, Grok, Google AI Overviews, and whatever comes next.
Why this matters now
Early movers in AEO are building visibility that compounds. The businesses getting cited by AI today are becoming the default answers for their industries. Waiting means playing catch-up.

Content organized so search engines and AI can understand it.
