AEO & GEO
Services

Be visible, cited, and recommended inside AI-generated answers.

60% of Google searches now end without a click (SparkToro, 2024). AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity are synthesising answers directly — and if your brand isn't inside those answers, you're invisible to a growing share of your market. Ranking on page one is no longer enough. The brands that win are the ones AI platforms cite, quote, and recommend.

What We Do

Six Core Service Areas

Every engagement is built from these six disciplines. The mix and depth are tailored to your market, your competitive landscape, and where you stand today.

1

AI Visibility Audit

We query ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews with 30+ buyer-intent prompts in your category to build a baseline heatmap. You see exactly where you're mentioned, where competitors dominate, what AI gets wrong about you, and which gaps to close first. This is the diagnostic foundation for everything that follows.

2

Entity Optimization

AI platforms build understanding from structured entity data — Wikidata entries, Google Knowledge Panels, schema markup, and consistent NAP (name, address, phone) signals across the web. We audit your entity footprint, resolve conflicts, seed missing data, and implement Organisation, Person, Product, and FAQ schema so AI models know exactly what your company is, what it does, and why it matters.

3

Content Engineering

AI models favour content that is semantically complete, answer-structured, and data-rich. We restructure existing pages into answer-first formats, build FAQ schema, create markdown comparison tables, develop glossary and "versus" content, and ensure every high-value page is optimized for AI extraction. Semantic completeness has a 0.87 correlation with AI citation likelihood (Princeton GEO Research, 2024).

4

Citation Authority Building

AI models cite brands that appear consistently across trusted, independent sources. We build citation authority through targeted targeted citation placements, expert commentary in industry publications, directory listings on platforms AI models trust (G2, Capterra, industry-specific directories), and original research that becomes a citable source. Brands cited in AI Overviews earn 35% more organic clicks (Seer Interactive, 2025).

5

Technical Foundation

If AI crawlers can't access your content, nothing else matters. We implement llms.txt and llms-full.txt files, audit and configure robots.txt for AI bot access, deploy comprehensive structured data (JSON-LD), ensure fast page load speeds, and verify that your critical pages are crawlable by GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, and Google's AI systems.

6

Measurement & Reporting

Every month, we track and report on four core metrics: AI Mention Rate (how often your brand appears in AI answers), Citation Authority (how often your domain is cited), Entity Clarity Score (whether AI correctly understands your company), and Answer Ownership (queries where you're the primary recommendation). We also track AI referral traffic in GA4 and monitor for hallucinations.

How We Engage

Tailored Engagement. No Hourly Billing.

AI-referred traffic converts at 6x the rate of non-branded organic — 24% vs 4%. — Webflow, 2025

Every brand faces a different competitive landscape, a different starting point, and different objectives. That's why we scope every engagement individually rather than forcing you into a rigid package.

After an initial conversation, we provide a detailed proposal that outlines exactly what we'll deliver, how we'll measure progress, and what your fixed monthly fee covers. No setup fees. No hourly billing. No surprises.

Packages

Four Tiers. No Hourly Billing.

Every tier includes a fixed monthly scope, senior attention, and measurable outcomes. The right tier depends on your market, competitive landscape, and how aggressively you want to build AI visibility.

Every engagement is tailored to the client. We may adjust the specific deliverables within each package to align most effectively with your industry, competitive landscape, and growth objectives.

How We Work

Strategic Partner, Not Agency Assembly Line

growthvibe operates a deliberately limited client model. We take on fewer than 20 clients at any time to ensure every engagement receives senior strategic attention from the start.

There is no account manager relay. The strategist who builds your plan is the same person who executes it, measures it, and refines it. You work directly with the founder and a small senior team — not junior staff learning on your budget.

We bill on outcomes and deliverables, not hours. Every engagement has a fixed monthly fee, a defined scope, and clear metrics so you always know what you're paying for and what progress looks like. Our goal isn't to keep you on retainer indefinitely — it's to build the citation authority, entity clarity, and content infrastructure that compounds over time and makes your brand the default answer in your category.

We operate as an extension of your marketing team: shared Slack channels, fortnightly strategy calls, and a transparent reporting cadence that shows exactly where your AI visibility stands and what we're doing about it.

Who This Is For

Is This Right for Your Business?

You're a Good Fit If...

  • Your brand is underrepresented in AI-generated answers despite having a strong product or service
  • You're losing organic traffic to zero-click results and AI Overviews that cite competitors instead
  • You have a strong offering but weak entity signals — AI doesn't know you exist, or gets your company description wrong
  • You're a B2B or B2B SaaS company, professional services firm, or specialist product business with £2M+ revenue
  • You already invest in digital marketing and derive 30%+ of new business from digital channels
  • You want to establish AI visibility advantage now while the competitive window is still open

Key Sectors We Serve

  • Fintech — payments, lending, wealth management
  • Healthtech — digital health, medtech, wellness platforms
  • Legaltech — legal services, compliance, contract management
  • Recruitment — staffing, talent platforms, HR tech
  • Professional Services — consulting, accountancy, advisory
  • SaaS — any B2B software category

Not in these sectors? We still work with ambitious brands in other industries. Get in touch and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a growthvibe engagement?

Every engagement is built from six core disciplines: AI Visibility Audit (baseline assessment across 5+ AI platforms), Entity Optimization (schema, Wikidata, knowledge graph, directory listings), Content Engineering (answer-first restructuring, FAQ schema, comparison content), Citation Authority Building (targeted citation placements, directory listings, expert commentary, original research), Technical Foundation (llms.txt, AI crawler access, structured data, site speed), and Measurement & Reporting (monthly AI Mention Rate, Citation Authority, Entity Clarity Score, and Answer Ownership tracking with competitive benchmarking). The specific mix and depth depend on your tier, market, and starting position.

How is growthvibe different from an SEO agency?

growthvibe is built natively for AI search — not an SEO agency that added AI services. Our methodology, metrics, tooling, and delivery are designed specifically for the citation economy. We measure AI Mention Rate and Citation Authority, not keyword rankings. We optimize for entity recognition, not keyword density. We build citation authority on platforms AI trusts (Reddit, G2, Wikidata), not just traditional backlink sources. Our founder previously built Ocere to a Queen’s Award for Enterprise-winning agency serving 3,000+ clients — so we understand both traditional search and why AI search requires a fundamentally different approach.

How do you report on progress?

Monthly reporting includes four core metrics tracked against your baseline and 3–5 competitors: AI Mention Rate (how often you appear in AI answers), Citation Authority (how often AI cites your domain), Entity Clarity Score (whether AI correctly describes you), and Answer Ownership (queries where you’re the primary recommendation). Reports include platform-by-platform breakdowns, competitor movement, citation quality analysis, and prioritised next actions. Strategy calls are monthly (Lite tier), fortnightly (Core), or weekly (Pro and Enterprise). Shared Slack channels are available on Core tier and above.

Do I need a long-term contract?

No. growthvibe operates on monthly retainers with no long-term lock-in. We recommend a minimum three-month commitment to see meaningful results — technical and content changes take 60–90 days to influence AI citation patterns — but you are not locked into a 12-month contract. The reason most clients stay beyond three months is that AEO advantages compound: entity signals, citation authority, and topical depth build over time, and the brands that invest consistently see accelerating returns.

Can I start with just an audit?

Yes. The AI Visibility Audit is available as a standalone engagement. It tests how your brand currently appears across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, Claude, and Gemini for 30–50 commercially relevant queries, benchmarks you against 3–5 competitors, scores your readiness across five dimensions, and delivers a prioritised action plan. Many clients use the audit findings to build an internal business case before committing to an ongoing engagement. The audit typically takes 5–7 working days and includes a presentation of findings.

What results can I expect in the first 90 days?

In the first 30 days: technical foundations are in place — schema, llms.txt, AI crawler access, entity grounding on key pages. Your baseline AI Visibility Score is established. In days 30–60: content engineering delivers answer-first restructuring on priority pages, FAQ schema deployment, and initial citation authority campaigns. In days 60–90: measurable improvements in AI Mention Rate and Citation Authority. Case studies from the SMX Advanced GEO Masterclass show 40–60% citation increases within 12 weeks. By month 3, you have a clear, data-backed picture of how your AI visibility is trending versus competitors.

Which industries do you work with?

growthvibe works across sectors where buyers use AI to research and evaluate options: fintech, healthtech, legaltech, recruitment, professional services, SaaS, and B2B technology. The methodology applies to any business where considered purchases are involved — where buyers ask AI questions like “best [category] for [specific need]” before making decisions. We take on fewer than 20 clients at any time, and we don’t work with competing brands in the same category to avoid conflicts of interest.

What does growthvibe not do?

We don’t do traditional SEO (keyword research, link building, technical SEO audits), PPC management, social media management, web design, or brand strategy. We focus exclusively on AI search visibility — AEO and GEO. If you need traditional SEO alongside AEO, we can recommend complementary partners or work alongside your existing SEO agency. Our specialism is deliberate: AI search optimization requires different skills, different metrics, and different strategies than traditional search. Doing one thing deeply produces better results than doing five things shallowly.
