AI SEO, AEO and GEO
What is an AI SEO agency?
A team that works to get you named in AI answers and ranked on Google. We're one, for B2B companies.
Nod finds the questions your buyers ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI Overviews, writes pages that answer them, and reports every month how often you get named.
What is answer engine optimization?
Answer engine optimization (AEO) is making your company part of the answer an AI assistant gives. In practice: pages with clear, specific answers to the questions buyers ask, so assistants name you and cite your site.
What is generative engine optimization?
The same work under another name. GEO, AEO, AI SEO and AI search optimization all mean one thing: getting named and cited in AI answers. We call the result AI visibility.
How do you get cited by ChatGPT?
When ChatGPT searches the web, it cites pages it can find and quote. So a page has to be indexed, answer the exact question near the top, and be specific: real product detail, honest comparisons, clear facts. The same pages tend to work in Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI too.
Nobody can guarantee a citation. We measure it on the same questions every month and show you what moved.
Do you also do classic SEO?
Yes. Every article is written to rank on Google as well as to be quoted by AI, and we track your Google rankings next to your nod score. The two help each other.
The service
What does Nod actually do?
We run AI visibility and SEO for you, every month. We track the questions your buyers ask AI, write articles for your site that answer them, and report what changed. You don't learn a tool, write briefs or manage writers.
What do your AI SEO services include?
Research, tracking in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google, articles written for your site, and a monthly report. One retainer covers all four.
Is this different from an AI visibility tool?
A tool gives you a number and leaves the work to you. We do the work. The number is how you check us.
Who is it for?
B2B companies whose buyers research before they buy, that have a website they can publish on, and that don't have an SEO team. SaaS and AI startups are typical, but any B2B business fits.
Who is it not for?
If you want guaranteed rankings, the most content for the lowest price, or paid placements, we're not the right fit.
Articles
Who writes the articles?
Our team, for your site, from research on your product, your market and your buyers' questions. You approve every article before it goes live.
Is the content unique to our site?
Yes. Every article is written for you alone. We never reuse, resell or adapt it for anyone else.
Do you publish on our site for us?
If you'd like. Give us CMS access and we publish approved articles. Or we send them ready to go and your team hits publish.
Tracking and results
How do you measure AI visibility?
We agree a set of buyer questions with you, then ask them on a schedule in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google's AI answers, using live search and AI answer data. For each answer we record whether you're named, how you're described, which sources are cited and who else appears. Answers vary, so we ask each question more than once and report the pattern.
What is a nod?
When an AI answer names your company or cites your site. Your nod score is how many of your tracked questions got one.
We count it on the same questions every month, written as nods out of answers, and compare it with where you started.
What's in the monthly report?
Your starting point, recorded before we publish anything. Then, each month, the same questions and keywords compared with it, plus what we published and what's next.
Can you guarantee we'll be named?
No. Anyone who does is guessing. Nobody controls what an AI says. We control what we publish and how honestly we measure it.
How long until we see changes?
It depends on your site, your market and where you start. New pages need time to be found and picked up as sources. After we measure your starting point, we tell you what to expect, and every report shows the progress, or the lack of it.
Working together
How much does it cost?
The free check is free. A Nod Audit is $490 to $990, one-off, credited toward a retainer. Done for you plans run month to month with no lock-in: Starter $1,500/mo, Growth $3,000/mo and Scale $5,000+/mo. The scope depends on your market and how much we publish, and we confirm it in writing before we start.
What is the free check?
We ask ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini 10 questions a buyer in your category would ask, without your name in them. You see how often they name you or cite your site, and who they name instead. It takes about two minutes. Add your work email to see every answer.
What is the Nod Audit?
A one-off written review: where AI names you, who it names instead, why, and the first pages to fix or write. If you continue with a plan, the fee is credited toward a retainer. Order it through the contact form.
Will there be calls?
No. Scope, drafts and reports come in writing. Reply when it suits you.
Can we stop?
Yes, any month. Plans run month to month, with no minimum term, and the pages we wrote stay yours.
What do you need from us?
Read access to Search Console and Analytics, someone who can answer product questions, and a quick review of each article. CMS access if you want us to publish.
How do we start?
Run the free check, or send us your project through the contact page. We reply by email within 1 business day. From there you can order the Nod Audit or pick a plan.
