The shift
When a prospect Googled you, you saw it. Direct traffic spiked. Form submissions came in. Your sales team got a heads-up.
When a prospect asks ChatGPT instead, you see nothing. The conversation is invisible. The deal is invisible. Until the prospect either signs with a competitor — or doesn’t.

The work, for services
A senior strategist writes the briefs, shapes the placements, and ships the work directly — the same person reading your data is the one creating the content.
Specific, numbers-heavy case studies. Named clients where allowed. Outcomes with figures. These get cited as proof when AI assembles “who has done this before” answers. Vague testimonials don’t register.
Op-eds, frameworks, opinion pieces under your senior people’s bylines — published on third-party publications, not your blog. AI cites domain authority, not your domain.
When AI answers “best fractional CFO for SaaS,” it pulls from comparison pages. We engineer the pages that get cited, on the right third-party sites, with the right structure.
r/agency, r/SaaS, niche Discord communities. Surprisingly high-signal for AI. We build genuine presence in the communities your buyers trust.
We wire your CRM and analytics to flag inbound leads referred from chat.openai.com, perplexity.ai, gemini.google.com. So you can finally see the leak — and watch it close.
Where this compounds fastest
AEO compounds. The first month builds your citation foundation — structured data, third-party placements, retrievability fixes. Months three through six start landing the inbound that wouldn’t have come from Google. That math works best for firms where a single won engagement materially pays for the work.
Agencies & consultancies
Average client size $30K+ annual — one new logo this quarter pays for the year.
Professional services
Retained engagements where a single signed deal funds a year of marketing investment.
Specialist firms
Niche practices billing $15K+ per engagement — AEO becomes your distribution engine.
Thought-leadership shops
Firms whose content needs to convert, not just rank — built around named experts.
