Be the firm AI recommends.
Not the one it forgets.
B2B buyers are asking ChatGPT and Perplexity for vendor recommendations before they ever visit your website. If you're not in those answers, you're not in the consideration set. Referrals are declining. AI recommendations are the new word-of-mouth.
The Problem
- Prospects ask AI for vendor recommendations and you're not mentioned
- Referral pipeline is shrinking as buyers self-research via AI
- Newer, smaller competitors are showing up in AI recommendations ahead of you
- Your thought leadership content isn't structured for AI consumption
Key Statistics
- 67% Of B2B buyers use AI to shortlist vendors
- 4x More trust in AI recommendations vs ads
- 12mo Window before AI search is commoditized
How It Works
Step 1: Audit your vendor visibility
We test how AI responds to every variation of 'best [your service] firm' -- and identify who's currently winning those recommendations.
Step 2: Build your authority layer
We create and optimize the content ecosystem that makes AI models confident recommending you: case studies, methodology pages, expert content, and structured data.
Step 3: Own the recommendation
Expand from your core service to adjacent queries. When a buyer asks any question related to your expertise, your firm is the answer.
Frequently Asked Questions
We're a consulting firm, not a tech company. Does AEO apply to us?
Absolutely. Any time a buyer asks AI 'best consulting firm for X', 'top agency for Y', or 'who should I hire for Z', AEO determines who appears. We have service firm clients seeing 3x more inbound after 90 days.
We rely on referrals. Why should we care about AI search?
Even referral-based buyers now validate recommendations with AI. When someone says 'check out Firm X', the buyer asks ChatGPT about you. If AI doesn't reinforce the referral, you lose deals you never knew about.
How do you handle confidential client work?
We can build your AI authority using anonymized case studies, methodology frameworks, and expert content. Named case studies convert better, but anonymized work still builds AI visibility.
What's the ROI for a service firm?
One new client from AI-driven discovery typically covers 6+ months of our engagement. Most service firms see 2-4 new qualified inbound leads per month from AI search within 90 days.
