What we actually do, in our own voice.

Claymation explainer. 90 seconds. Plays inline.

The three layers

AEO + GEO + SEO — what each means.

Most agencies still sell “SEO” like it’s 2018. We run all three.

AEO

Answer Engine Optimization

Get cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini. Schema, FAQ, entity linking, citation-friendly content.

GEO

Generative Engine Optimization

Get pulled into AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, ChatGPT search. Topical authority, entity disambiguation, source-friendly formatting.

SEO

Search Engine Optimization

Google rankings still matter — AI pulls from the SEO pool. Technical, on-page, backlinks, clusters, Core Web Vitals.

What we actually do

The technical stack we install.

Shipped on every AEO/GEO/SEO engagement.

Why this matters now

The 40% shift.

By late 2026, 40%+ of high-intent searches happen inside AI assistants. If your brand isn’t cited there, you’re invisible.

The old game

Rank in 10 blue links. Click. Convert.

The new game

Get cited inside AI answers. AI Overviews, ChatGPT recommendations.

The hybrid game

Both. AI pulls citations from SEO-ranked content. We run all three.
