AI search optimization services
With our managed AEO service, Pronto clients are usually able to get a 20% visibility lift in AI search within 6 months and acquire higher value qualified leads.
What does an AI Search Optimization service actually do?
AI Search Optimization improves your chances of being mentioned, cited, or recommended when prospects ask tools such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, Claude, and Copilot questions related to your products or services.
Pronto combines traditional SEO with prompt tracking, answer-focused content, technical optimization, third-party authority signals, and reputation management to improve that visibility.
Your competitors may already be showing up in AI answers for the exact questions your customers are asking. Are you?
Start with an audit, then a plan built for visibility & leads
Your first 6 months, mapped out
Audit & Foundation
We audit your site’s technical SEO and AI readiness, benchmark you against competitors, optimize your core pages, set up your directory profiles, and configure prompt tracking. This is your baseline — every result after this is measured against it.
Execution & Traction
Content goes out, outreach for high-citation links begins, and your first links start landing. You’ll get your first full monthly performance report and see early movement in your visibility metrics.
Scaling & ROI Readout
We widen topical coverage, keep building authority against the gaps the data shows us, and start optimizing conversion paths on your top AI-referral pages. By month 6, you get a full ROI readout and a recommendation for what’s next.
A complete system for AI search visibility
Every plan is built around six core pillars that work together to track where you stand today, fix what’s holding you back, and build the content and authority signals that get you cited.
AI Visibility Tracking
We track your brand’s visibility, sentiment, and share of voice across AI platforms using Peec.ai and HubSpot’s AEO tools, monitoring the core prompts your customers are actually asking.
On-Page & Technical Optimization
We optimize your service pages, location pages, and homepage for both traditional SEO and AI crawlability, including the schema and structured data that help AI engines understand key information about your business and content.
Content Engine
Ongoing SEO blog writing and page refreshes, to keep your site feeding AI engines fresh, relevant, citation-worthy content.
Authority & Citations
We build links from high-citation sources — the listicles, roundups, and industry sites AI engines pull from most often and profiles on the directories that matter most in your industry.
Reputation & Local Signals
Google Business Profile optimization paired with review generation and monitoring, so your local presence and reputation signals stay strong across both traditional and AI-driven search.
Reporting
A custom dashboard tracks the KPIs that actually matter. We track visibility, share of voice, referral traffic, and qualified leads, all in one place.

Every plan includes a custom reporting dashboard so you always know where you stand and what we’re doing about it.

Is Pronto the right AI search optimization company for your business?
Jacki Barnes,
Sales & Marketing Coordinator, Network Access
“Pronto’s team really impressed us with their knowledge and expertise. They offered a new approach to our campaign and once their plan was put into action, we felt the impact immediately.”
Kevin LaPorte
Partner, LaPorte Law Firm
“Before partnering with the team, our local search presence was inconsistent. We knew we needed expert help to improve our rankings and increase our visibility in the Bay Area.”
Jay Wade
CTO, Revsuppliance
“Pronto was able to take my client’s Google My Business profile as is and transform it into a real means for local lead generation.”
We're actively testing ChatGPT Ads with early clients — ask us if your brand is a good fit for this channel.
Pricing: custom, scoped per campaign and ad spend. Not included in the tier pricing above — available as an add-on to any plan.
ChatGPT Ads Management
AI search isn’t just changing organic visibility — it’s now a paid channel too. OpenAI opened self-serve advertising in ChatGPT to all US businesses, meaning brands can now buy placements directly inside the conversations millions of people are having every day, with no minimum spend required.
This is early-mover territory. Ads appear in clearly labeled, separate boxes below ChatGPT’s answers — they never influence the AI’s actual response — and are matched to conversations based on context and topic rather than traditional keywords. For brands willing to move now, that means a real head start before the space gets as crowded and expensive as Google or Meta.
FAQs
What are AI search optimization services?
AI search optimization services improve how often AI tools like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity mention and recommend your business. The work covers tracking, website optimization, content, and earning citations on the sources AI tools trust.
What's the difference between AEO, GEO, and AI search optimization?
They’re overlapping names for the same work. Answer engine optimization (AEO) focuses on becoming the direct answer, and generative engine optimization (GEO) focuses on being cited in AI-generated responses. AI search optimization covers both.
How is AI search optimization different from SEO?
SEO earns you a spot in a list of links, while AI search optimization earns you a mention inside the answer. Strong SEO helps because many AI tools draw on web search results, but it doesn’t guarantee AI mentions. That’s why every plan covers both.
How much do AI search optimization services cost?
Our plans start at $1,599/month plus a one-time $900 setup fee. Price depends on how many prompts we track and how much content and link building you need.
How long until we see results?
Most clients see their first measurable movement in AI visibility within two to three months, with a full ROI readout at month six. Like SEO, results compound over time.
Does having good SEO help perform well on AI search?
Absolutely. Strong SEO remains an important foundation for AI search visibility because AI search systems frequently rely on crawlable web content, search indexes, authoritative sources and strong entity signals. However, strong organic rankings don’t guarantee that your brand will be mentioned or cited in AI answers, which is why we layer AI visibility tracking, content analysis and off-site authority work on top of traditional SEO.
How do you measure AI visibility?
We track a set of prompts your customers are likely to ask, using Peec AI. It shows how often you appear, how you compare to competitors, how AI tools describe you, and which sources they cite. We also track referral traffic and qualified leads from AI platforms.
We use HubSpot. Can you report in HubSpot's AEO tool?
Yes. If you’re on HubSpot, we can track and report your AI visibility in HubSpot’s AEO tool, so it sits alongside the rest of your marketing reporting.
How does link building for AEO differ from traditional SEO link building?
Traditional SEO link building (guest posts and link insertions) focuses on passing link equity to boost specific URL rankings on search engine results pages. In contrast, building links for AEO focuses on getting included in high-tier listicles and authoritative “best of” roundups. Rather than just transferring PageRank, this strategy feeds Large Language Models (LLMs like Perplexity and ChatGPT) the curated entity data and brand recommendations they rely on to generate direct, cited answers.
Do you work with our existing SEO or marketing team?
Yes. Our AI search optimization services complement your existing SEO and marketing work rather than replace it. We coordinate with your team so everything works together.
What changes will you make to my website?
Expect updated service and location pages, new articles that answer customer questions, structured data (schema), and technical fixes that make your site easier for AI tools to read.
Who should invest in AI search optimization services?
Businesses whose customers research before they buy, such as professional services firms, B2B companies, and local service businesses. If buyers ask AI tools who to hire in your category, you need to be in that answer.
