SEO and AEO for eCommerce and SaaS brands
Google isn't the only search engine anymore. ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini are answering your customers' questions – and citing sources. We optimize for both traditional search and AI engines so your brand shows up everywhere buyers research.
Available as a Retainer add-on after your first successful Sprint.
Why most SEO strategies are already outdated
They ignore AI engines entirely
ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini are answering product and service queries with cited sources. If your content isn't structured for AI consumption, you're invisible to a fast-growing channel.
Content without topical authority
Publishing random blog posts doesn't build authority. Google and AI engines reward deep topical coverage – interconnected content clusters that demonstrate genuine expertise.
Technical SEO is an afterthought
Crawl errors, slow Core Web Vitals, broken schema markup – these silent killers tank your rankings while you focus on content. Technical foundations must come first.
No revenue attribution
Ranking reports feel good but don't pay bills. We tie every organic session to revenue so you know exactly what SEO is contributing to your bottom line.
The AEO opportunity: AI search is growing fast
AI-powered search is reshaping how buyers research purchases. Brands that show up in AI citations now build a durable competitive advantage.
| AI Search Platform | Monthly Active Users | Growth (YoY) | Content that gets cited |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google AI Overviews | 1B+ | +400% | Featured snippets, structured data, E-E-A-T signals |
| ChatGPT | 400M+ | +200% | Authoritative domains, structured Q&A, citations |
| Perplexity AI | 100M+ | +600% | Specific data, original research, clear definitions |
| Gemini (Google) | 300M+ | +350% | Google-indexed content, schema markup, authority signals |
User figures approximate as of 2026. The window for first-mover AEO advantage is open now — brands building topical authority today will be the default AI citations in 2027.
Our SEO & AEO system
Technical SEO audit & fix
We crawl your entire site, fix indexation issues, optimize Core Web Vitals, implement structured data (JSON-LD), and ensure your site architecture supports both Google and AI crawlers.
Topical authority mapping
We map your entire topic universe into clusters – pillar pages, supporting content, internal linking architecture. Every piece of content strengthens every other piece.
AI engine optimization (AEO)
We structure your content for AI citation: clear definitions, structured data, FAQ schemas, concise answer blocks, and entity optimization so ChatGPT and Perplexity reference your brand.
Content strategy & production
Research-backed content calendars, keyword-clustered briefs, and expert-level content that ranks. We write content that converts – not just content that fills a blog.
Featured snippet engineering
We reverse-engineer snippet formats for your target queries – tables, lists, definitions, paragraphs – and restructure content to win position zero.
Ongoing measurement & iteration
Monthly reporting on rankings, organic revenue, AI engine citations, and content performance. We double down on what works and prune what doesn't.
What we optimize
This is what the AI audit will tell you about your organic visibility
Run the free 48-heuristic audit and get findings like these – specific to your site, in under 3 minutes.
Missing structured data on key pages
Product, FAQ, and review schema are absent or malformed. Proper structured data lifts rich-snippet appearance by 30–50% and improves AI citation eligibility.
Thin content on category pages
Category pages have no descriptive copy, just product grids. Adding 200–400 words of topically relevant content lifts organic traffic to these pages by 20–40%.
No AEO optimization for AI assistants
Your content isn't structured for AI answer engines. Adding FAQ blocks, concise definitions, and entity markup positions your brand for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
Traditional SEO vs AI Engine Optimization
You need both to win in modern search. Here's how they differ – and why we combine them.
- Optimizes for Google's ranking algorithm and SERPs
- Focuses on keyword rankings and click-through rates
- Builds backlinks and domain authority over time

- Content structured for human readers first
- Optimizes for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini citations

FAQ
What is AEO (AI Engine Optimization)?
AEO is the practice of optimizing your content to be cited by AI-powered search tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. It involves structuring content with clear definitions, entity markup, and citation-ready formatting so AI models reference your brand as a source.
How long does SEO take to show results?
Technical fixes can improve crawlability within weeks. Content-driven results typically begin compounding at 3–6 months. We set clear 90-day milestones so you see progress throughout – not just a big reveal at month six.
Do you handle content writing or just strategy?
Both. We produce research-backed, expert-level content in-house – from keyword research and briefs through to final copy. Every piece is optimized for search engines, AI engines, and human readers.
How do you measure SEO success?
Primary metric: organic revenue. Secondary metrics include keyword rankings, organic traffic, featured snippet wins, AI engine citations, and domain authority growth. We report monthly with clear attribution.
Can you work with our existing content team?
Absolutely. We can provide strategy, keyword research, and briefs for your team to execute – or we can handle everything end-to-end. We adapt to whatever workflow makes sense for your organization.
What tools do you use for SEO?
Ahrefs for keyword research and backlink analysis, Screaming Frog for technical audits, Google Search Console for performance data, and custom dashboards in Looker Studio for reporting. For AEO, we use proprietary monitoring to track AI engine citations across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.
Is AEO worth investing in right now?
Yes. AI-powered search is growing rapidly – ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews are already influencing purchase decisions. Brands that structure content for AI citation now will have a significant first-mover advantage as these channels become mainstream.
