01 / Why SEO alone falls short

Ranking on Google is not the same as being cited by AI.

Not even Google’s own AI answers stick to its top 10, and when they show up, the top result loses more than half its clicks. Ranking helps, but it does not get you cited on its own.

02 / SEO vs AI SEO

Same foundations, a different finish line.

Classic SEO compared with AI SEO
Classic SEO AI SEO
Where you show up In Google’s list of results Inside the answers of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews
What you want A click on your link To be named, cited and linked
What matters most Your site, its links and its speed Your site, plus what review sites, lists, media and directories say about you
How it is measured Rankings and traffic Buying prompts that name you, engine by engine, against your competitors
When you see it Months, in rankings First citations usually within 30 to 60 days

SEO foundations come built in: Google’s AI features build their answers from its own search index.

Do AI engines name you, or a competitor? We check all five for free and email you the results in 2 business days.

03 / The specialist question

“Our SEO agency handles that” is how brands stay invisible.

Many SEO agencies have added an AI paragraph to their service pages. Few have changed what they measure. Ask yours three questions:

  1. 01

    Which buying prompts do you track for us?

    AI visibility is measured on fixed questions your buyers ask, not on keywords.

  2. 02

    On which engines?

    ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI answers each cite different sources.

  3. 03

    What changed last month, engine by engine?

    If nobody can show you the change, nobody is managing your AI visibility.

AI search is all we do, and every deliverable has a published price. Still deciding where to spend first? GEO vs SEO: which to prioritize.

04 / The five engines

How each AI engine reads your site.

Each assistant reaches the web through its own crawler or index. If your site keeps it out, or it cannot make sense of you, it cannot cite you.

Not every brand should hire us.

Good fit if

  • Your customers use AI to research before they buy: ecommerce and DTC, legal tech and law firms, health and wellness, fintech, SaaS, and hotels and travel.
  • You want citations won per engine in your report, not just rankings.

Not a fit if

  • Nobody asks AI about your category yet: the free diagnosis will show that, and we will tell you not to hire us.
  • You need results in under 30 days.
  • You only want classic rankings-first SEO: we offer it only as an add-on to GEO work.

07 / FAQ

AI SEO, common questions

What does an AI SEO agency do?

It optimizes a brand for AI-driven search: the answers of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. The work covers entity clarity, answer-first content, structured data and citation signals, measured against a fixed set of buying prompts.

Is AI SEO the same as LLM SEO or ChatGPT SEO?

In practice, yes. AI SEO, LLM SEO, ChatGPT SEO, GEO and AEO are names for the same job: getting your brand named and cited inside the answers of large language models. ChatGPT gets its own label because it is the AI assistant most people use. We still measure all five engines, because citation gains usually spill over from one to the others.

How is an AI SEO agency different from my current SEO agency?

By what it measures and delivers. A traditional agency reports rankings and organic traffic. Ours reports citations won per engine and share of voice inside AI answers. If your current agency cannot show you a prompt-level baseline, they are doing SEO with a new label.

Should I stop doing traditional SEO?

No. Classic search still drives revenue and its foundations feed AI visibility. The two add up: buyers now research in two places, and most brands only compete in one of them.

How do you prove the work is working?

With Prove, the last step of the Sourcelift Loop: the same locked prompt set, our Visibility Baseline, re-run every 30 days across five engines, reporting citations, share of voice and the change on each engine. The method is public on our site, sample report included.

If AI doesn’t name you, it names a competitor.
