Your customers
ask ChatGPT first.
Google treats generative AI features as part of Search/SEO; we still run AEO/GEO across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and others—alongside traditional Google SEO. Get cited and recommended where your buyers ask.
Proof, not promises
Every Monday our automated tracker runs real buyer prompts against ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude & Gemini and posts what they cite, public methodology, time-stamped, in the open. No other San Antonio agency tracks this openly.
If the wall shows zero live citations, that’s intentional — we publish checks and prompts, not fake wins.

The playbook
How we make AI engines recommend you.
Step 01
Entity authority
We make sure ChatGPT and Perplexity know who you are, name, niche, location, services, key facts. Wikidata, Knowledge Graph, GBP, founder bio, structured author entities.
Step 02
Passage-level citability
AI engines cite paragraphs, not pages. We write content where every 60-word block answers a discrete question, your customers' actual questions, not keyword-stuffed long-tail.
Step 03
Third-party citations
ChatGPT trusts Reddit, Quora, YouTube transcripts, podcast appearances, and credible local news more than your own website. We earn citations where the engines actually look.
Step 04
Technical fundamentals
Schema.org JSON-LD for rich results and clarity (Google does not require special AI-only schema for generative features). llms.txt for other AI crawlers—not a Google ranking lever. Fast LCP. Clean semantic HTML. IndexNow. Sitemaps AI crawlers can use.
Step 05
Citation tracking
We track which AI engines cite you for which prompts, every week. When ChatGPT stops citing your competitor and starts citing you, we screenshot it for your monthly report.

Common questions
What is AI visibility, exactly?
+
It's being recommended by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews when a prospective customer asks them a question your business should answer. It complements (not replaces) traditional Google SEO—and for Google generative features, Google still frames that work as SEO.
Is anyone in San Antonio actually doing this?
+
A handful claim it. We're the only locally-rooted AI Visibility specialist with award credentials (AAF Gold Addy 2018, Best of SA 2023) that has been AI native since 2020, not bolted on after ChatGPT shipped.
Will AI visibility replace SEO?
+
No. It expands SEO. Google still drives the majority of search clicks, and Google treats AI Overviews / AI Mode as part of Search/SEO. We keep AEO + GEO as multi-engine product language across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and others.
How long until I get cited by ChatGPT?
+
Most clients see first citations in 60–90 days for low-competition queries. Competitive industry queries take 4–6 months. We track every citation weekly and report what's working.
What does this cost?
+
AI Visibility is included in our Growth ($3,500/mo) and Full-Service ($6,500/mo) tiers. Starter ($1,500/mo) covers Google SEO only. See our pricing page.
How is this different from regular SEO?
+
Google treats generative AI features as part of Search/SEO. We still run AEO/GEO across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and others—where entity authority, passage citability, and third-party validation matter a lot. Same goal (get found), broader playbook.
Is AEO/GEO different from SEO for Google?
+
From Google's perspective, no—optimizing for AI Overviews and AI Mode is still SEO. AEO/GEO are industry labels we keep for multi-engine AI Visibility. Official guidance: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/fundamentals/ai-optimization-guide
