Six years before the rebuild. The agency story.

This page lives for the readers who knew us before the AI search rebuild.

Awards, press coverage, and client testimonials from the full-service marketing agency era (2019–2025) live here. The redirect from the old /awards, /media, and /reviews URLs lands here. The active product story is on the home page; the case studies of the new method are on /cases.

Reviews · agency era

Client testimonials from full-service engagements.

Clutch profile + direct client testimonials accumulated through the 2019–2024 full-service period. The reviews speak to the agency-era model (performance marketing, SEO, paid acquisition) rather than the current AI search platform.

  • Clutch.co profile. External public profile with verified client reviews from the agency engagement period.
  • Direct testimonials. Project-level reviews collected at engagement close.
  • Repeat engagements. Several pre-2025 clients continued into the platform era — see the case studies on /cases for the current method in execution.

Original review collection on /reviews (pre-cutover).


Legacy blog · 2026

The Russian-language WordPress blog. Twenty plus articles, archived.

The pre-rebuild blog ran on WordPress at humanswith.ai/blog through early 2026 and accumulated more than twenty Russian-language articles on AI marketing, AEO/GEO, neural-network promotion, and contractor selection. Topics overlap with what we now cover on the new /blog in English, but the legacy posts were written before the platform rebuild and reference the full-service agency era.

  • Read the legacy blog. Browse the original 20+ posts at humanswith.ai/blog while the WordPress backend is still serving (until the DNS cutover).
  • Will the URLs survive? After cutover, the original WordPress posts move to an archive host so the inbound LinkedIn and Telegram links keep working. Individual slugs are mapped one-to-one.
  • New posts go to /blog. The new editorial pipeline ships English first; the Russian mirror lands in Phase B via the /translate endpoint.

Sample topics from the legacy blog: «Как попасть в выдачу ИИ», «Какие задачи бизнеса решает AI-маркетинг», «Какая разница между SEO, AEO и GEO?», «Технологии AI-маркетинга», «Как ИИ трансформирует SEO».


Why we rebuilt · 2025–2026

The agency era ended when buyers stopped Googling. The platform era began the same week.

In 2025 we watched our own clients pay $5K a month for content Google had stopped showing — and that AI had never learned to cite. We stopped optimising pages and started building the third-party evidence AI actually trusts. The first proof was on us: 2 to 1,000+ citations in three months. The story of that rebuild lives at /about. The seven case studies of the new method live at /cases.
