What’s the best tool for your category?
The problem

Right now, an AI is recommending your competitor — and you’ll never see it.

−25%

search traffic by 2026 — Gartner

Buyers are shifting from Google to AI assistants. Gartner projects a quarter of traditional search volume gone by 2026 — and your next customer is already opening ChatGPT to ask “best tool for…”. If the model doesn’t know you, you’re not on the list.

#1 on Google

still means invisible in AI

Ranking pages and answer engines are different systems. In our own tests, ChatGPT and Gemini named ~24 tools per category but agreed on just 5 — so you can own the SERP and still never get named when an LLM makes its recommendation.

0 citations

until you measure share-of-answer

There’s no “AI Search Console,” so most teams fly blind while competitors get named in private chats every day. Share-of-answer fixes that: we run your buyer questions across every engine on a schedule and score how often you’re named — turning the invisible into a number you can move.

How it works

Four steps from invisible to recommended.

A clear, repeatable system — not a black box. You always know what we’re doing and what it’s moving.

01

Audit

We run the real buyer questions in your category across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini — and show you exactly where you’re missing and who’s winning instead.

02

Optimize

We fix what the models read — structured data, an llms.txt, buyer-question content — and the SEO fundamentals underneath, because engines cite the pages that already rank. So they can find, trust, and recommend you.

03

Measure

We track your share of AI answers over time — which prompts cite you, where you rank, and how that moves week over week. No guessing.

04

Grow

Citations become clicks, clicks become trials. We tie AI visibility to real pipeline so you can see the revenue, not just the mentions.

How you’ll know it’s working

No vanity metrics. A system you can watch.

You shouldn’t have to take an AEO agency’s word for it. Here’s exactly how you’ll see it move — before and after you pay.

See your baseline first

Before you pay a cent, we show you exactly where you stand across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini — and who’s getting recommended instead.

Watch share-of-answer weekly

A fixed set of real buyer prompts, tracked over time — which ones cite you, how you’re described, and where you rank against competitors. No black box.

Measured in pipeline, not mentions

We tie AI-sourced visitors to trials and demo requests, so what you’re paying for shows up as revenue — not vanity citations.

Founder-led, on purpose

You work directly with the two founders — and we’re building our track record in the open.

We’re an early agency, and that’s the deal you get: founder attention, founding pricing, and a team that has to prove it — to you, and publicly, as we go. Our first results are being documented in real time.

What you get

See exactly where you stand — every week.

Your share-of-answer report shows the one number that matters, how it’s moving, which engines name you, the buyer prompts you’re cited on — and the competitors getting recommended instead.

No black box. You see the gap before you pay, and the climb after.

The framework

Getting recommended by AI isn’t luck. It’s a system.

Answer engines build their recommendations from a handful of signals. Our framework points every one of them at you — and proves it in pipeline, not citations.

Five moves, run in order. They spell NAMED.

  1. N

    Name the questions

    Research

    We map the exact questions your buyers type into ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Gemini — then baseline where you show up today. That’s your starting share-of-answer.

  2. A

    Architect the foundation

    Technical SEO

    Crawlability, speed, site structure, rankings. AI recommends pages that already rank — so we make you eligible before we make you the answer.

  3. M

    Make it machine-readable

    Schema + llms.txt

    Structured data and an llms.txt map so models read exactly what you do and who you’re for — no guessing, no ambiguity.

  4. E

    Earn the answer

    Content + Citation Surround

    Buyer-question pages, plus consistent mentions across the reviews, listicles and communities AI actually cites — so every engine learns to recommend you.

  5. D

    Demonstrate the pipeline

    Measurement

    We track your share-of-answer every week and tie AI-sourced visitors to trials and pipeline. Proof in revenue — not vanity citations.

AEO + SEO, one system

Most agencies do SEO, then bolt on AEO. NAMED runs them as one motion.

The foundation that makes you findable and the signals that make you the recommendation — built together, measured together.

Pricing

Start with an audit. Scale when it works.

No setup fees, no long contracts. Month to month — we earn it every 30 days.

The guarantee: if your product isn’t cited in at least one new AI answer within 90 days, we keep working — free — until it is.

Founding partners — 3 spots

Our first three clients get the full engagement at $500/month, locked for 6 months — in exchange for a testimonial and honest feedback.

A real rate, not a favor — so it gets the same attention as a full-price client. Limited to three founding partners, then this closes.

FAQ

The questions skeptical founders ask.

Fair ones. Here are straight answers.

It works because it’s mechanical, not magical. LLMs build recommendations from content they can read and trust — structured data, clear product pages, consistent mentions across the web. We engineer those signals. When they’re in place, you start getting cited. When they’re missing, you don’t. We show you the before and after in the audit so you’re not taking it on faith.
