Your SEO agency can't do this.
Different problem. Different solution.
SEO agencies optimize for Google rankings. We optimize for AI recommendations. These are fundamentally different algorithms, different content formats, and different success metrics. Your SEO agency is great at what they do -- they just can't do what we do.
Comparison
| Category | Traditional SEO Agency | Memetik (AEO) |
|---|---|---|
| Optimizes for | Google search rankings (links, keywords, technical SEO) | AI recommendations (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini citations) |
| Success metric | Keyword rankings, organic traffic, backlinks | AI citation count, recommendation position, category share |
| Content approach | Long-form blog posts optimized for keywords | Structured, citable content optimized for LLM consumption |
| Tracking | Google Search Console, Ahrefs, SEMrush | AI citation monitoring across all major LLMs |
| Time horizon | 3-6 months for ranking improvements | 30-90 days for AI citation improvements |
| The gap | No AI search expertise, no citation tracking | Purpose-built for the AI search era |
Bottom line: Keep your SEO agency for Google. Add Memetik for AI. The two channels are complementary, not competitive. But only one of them is growing 10x year-over-year.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should we fire our SEO agency?
No. Keep them for Google organic -- it still matters. Add us for the AI layer. Most of our clients run both in parallel. The work is complementary.
Why can't our SEO agency just add AEO?
Because AEO requires different tools (AI citation monitoring vs Google rank tracking), different content formats (structured data vs keyword-optimized blogs), and different expertise (LLM behavior vs search engine algorithms).
How do you work alongside existing agencies?
We focus exclusively on AI search. We share insights that help your SEO agency too (content gaps, query patterns), but we don't overlap. Clean swim lanes.
