How is AEO/GEO different from SEO?
SEO competes for a position in the list of blue links. AEO and GEO compete for a place inside the AI answer itself. Ask ChatGPT or Gemini who to choose, and it does not show a results page. It names a few brands from the sources it judged authoritative. Getting onto that shortlist is the goal.
How long until results show?
The first shifts in share of mentions usually show in six to eight weeks. Birdview PSA: ChatGPT share rose from 0.9% to 21.5% in eight weeks. GAC: from full invisibility to mentions across all nine platforms in six weeks. The exact timeline depends on your starting visibility and the competition in your category.
How do you measure whether AI is citing us?
The Hermes agent scans all nine engines every week against your target queries. It counts brand mentions and share of voice against competitors, then sends a report with the delta. You see numbers per engine, not promises.
Does this work across every AI engine, not just ChatGPT?
Yes. Generative systems build a reply the same way: they assemble it from a small pool of sources. Hermes scans nine engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, Kimi, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot. ContentOS then produces content that fits how each one cites.
Is this a tool or a done-for-you service?
It is a platform of marketing agents that we deploy under your brand and run as a service. A monitoring agent on its own will not put you inside AI answers. You need the whole production loop: measurement, content, publishing, technical fixes, and visuals. Eighteen workspace agents run under one operator — five Marketing Agents own the client-visible responsibilities (analyst, copywriter, content manager, SEO, designer). It is a product you run, not a pile of freelancers and a monthly agency retainer.
What does AI search visibility cost?
Plans start at $497/mo (Starter: audit, a monthly brief, three competitors tracked) and run up to a fully managed, done-for-you tier. The full grid and what each plan includes are on the pricing page.
What do you guarantee?
We do not promise a specific position. No honest agency controls AI answers directly. We guarantee transparent measurement across nine engines. We guarantee content that clears nine quality gates: facts, citability, E-E-A-T, schema. And we send a weekly report on the movement. You always see what you pay for.
