How AI Finds &
Trusts Your Business

When your customers ask ChatGPT or Google's AI a question about your industry, does your brand show up in the answer?
That's the difference between being recommended — and being invisible.

The Process

The 6 steps

What actually happens once you start, from the first week to ongoing maintenance.

1

Technical setup

Days 1–3

If AI can't read your site, you're invisible. We make sure AI can actually find and read your website before anything else starts.

78% of brands are completely absent from AI answers.
  • Review and correct llms.txt and robots.txt — created if they don't exist — so AI can access every page
  • Check and submit your XML sitemap so every page on your site can be found
  • Add Organization, WebPage, FAQ, and Article schema so AI can understand your content
  • Analyze site speed and any technical issues blocking AI
  • Install reporting and tracking so you can see results from day one
  • Unblock any AI crawlers currently being blocked, then confirm access across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and Grok

Baseline & prompt library

Week 1

We establish exactly where you stand today, so every step after this has a clear target to build toward.

Only ~12% of pages cited by ChatGPT rank in Google's top 10 — AI visibility and search rankings aren't the same game.
  • Audit your current standing across every major AI model — so we know exactly where you're starting
  • Build a full prompt library — branded prompts that name you, and unbranded prompts people ask without knowing you exist
  • Review sentiment — what AI engines are actually saying about you, positive and negative
  • That library becomes the target for every piece of content we create

AI-first content

Live Week 1

Content written for AI to read and cite — not written to rank on a search results page.

More buyers are asking AI directly instead of typing a search query — if your content doesn't answer them, a competitor's does.
  • Each piece answers the exact questions your potential customers are asking
  • Every piece is fully AI-optimized with schema markup
  • Minimum two new pieces of content published every week, so your library keeps growing

Reputation, citations & traffic sources

First 30 days

What's said about you elsewhere often matters more than what's on your own site — this is where your trust signals get built.

85% of brand mentions in AI answers come from third-party sources, not the brand's own website. Digital PR, reviews, and community mentions drive AI visibility.
  • Clean up your Google Business Profile and social profiles — mismatched names, addresses, and phone numbers
  • Target where your competitors are currently getting mentioned, and aim to get you listed there instead
  • Track which sites and sources are sending you AI traffic, so we know exactly where to focus next
  • Track every mention and citation, so you know exactly how often you show up
  • Point you to the Digital PR placements worth pursuing, based on real metrics
  • Combat negative sentiment with factual content, case studies, and real use cases

What to expect: citations move first, typically within 4–8 weeks, with traffic following around 60–90 days after.

Ongoing technical health

Monthly

AI systems favor sites that stay current, so this step never really stops.

3x more likely to be cited: content updated within the last 90 days, compared to older content.
  • Keep checking that AI can still see and read your site
  • Refresh content every 30–60 days to keep it relevant to AI
  • Monthly optimization audit — specific changes to your site and content pages, ready for your team to implement

Common Questions

Sound familiar?

AI search is a new concept for most businesses right now. Here's the honest answer to each.

That's too expensive for us right now.

Look at the other side of that math. Every month you wait, a competitor is out there building the citations, trust, and authority AI platforms use to decide who to recommend. That's not a cost you see on an invoice — it's the market share they take while you're still deciding. The longer that gap runs, the more expensive it gets to close.

We'll think about it.

That's fair — AI search is new territory for most businesses. But your competitors are already moving, and AI visibility compounds over time. The gap widens every week you wait, and once AI trusts a competitor, it's harder to unseat them.

We already have an SEO agency.

AI search runs on a different set of rules, technical requirements, and trust signals than traditional SEO. Your SEO agency handles search rankings — we handle AI visibility. Both matter, and neither replaces the other.

Can you prove ROI?

Full attribution for AI-driven traffic is still developing industry-wide, since people are still finding answers through AI and clicking to Google out of habit. Even now, we can show you exactly who found you through AI search, and that traffic already converts at a meaningfully higher rate than typical organic traffic.
