Common questions

Straight answers to what buyers ask most.

How is this different from SEO?

Traditional SEO optimises for Google's ranked results. AI search visibility is about whether your brand appears when someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude a question - and whether those models recommend you or a competitor.

The signals are different. AI models pull from third-party sources (review sites, publisher coverage, community forums) far more than brand websites. Your SEO agency optimises your site. We optimise the ecosystem of sources that AI models actually trust.

Do we need to pause our current SEO work?

No. Keep your SEO running. Good SEO still matters for traditional search, and some of the fundamentals (site structure, content quality, schema markup) also help with AI visibility.

We work alongside your existing SEO team or agency. What we add is the layer they're not covering: monitoring AI platforms, building citation authority on third-party sources, and optimising how AI models perceive your brand.

How quickly will we see results?

You'll have baseline data and a clear picture of where you stand within weeks. For ongoing engagements, early visibility improvements typically appear within 60-90 days as content and citation work takes effect.

AI models update their knowledge more frequently than Google's algorithm. That means changes can propagate faster - but it also means competitors can move quickly too. The brands that start measuring now have a compounding advantage.

What if we already use tools like Profound or Peec?

Good - it means you're already thinking about this. Tools like Profound, Peec, and Otterly show you where you stand. They provide monitoring and tracking. They tell you the score.

We interpret the data and tell you what to do about it. Most tools don't provide strategic context, competitor reverse-engineering, citation source analysis, or execution support. Think of it this way: monitoring tools are the thermometer. We're the doctor.

Can you work alongside our existing agency?

Yes, and we do this regularly. We're not replacing your SEO or PR agency. We're adding a capability they may not have yet.

In practice, we provide the intelligence layer (what's happening across AI platforms, where the gaps are, what to prioritise) and your existing agency can execute on the recommendations. Or we can handle execution directly - your choice.
