Get cited when the answer is not a list.

AI assistants answer in paragraphs and name two or three businesses. We make sure yours is one of them — for brands in Singapore and the Philippines.

Short version AI assistants answer a growing share of the questions people used to type into Google. They pick their sources differently: clear claims, clean structure, and facts they can quote. We restructure your site and write your content so ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews can find you, understand you, and name you. Engagements start at ₱5,000 or S$400 a month, and every one begins with a free audit.

Your customer may never see a results page

Someone wants a supplier, a studio, a clinic. They used to type it into Google and scan ten blue links. Increasingly they ask an assistant instead, and the assistant answers in a paragraph. That paragraph names two or three businesses. If you are not one of them, you were not beaten in the rankings. You were never in the room.

This is a different problem from ranking, and it needs different work. Ranking rewards authority and keywords. AI answers reward something closer to being quotable: a clear claim, stated plainly, in a structure a machine can lift without ambiguity. A page can rank well and still never get cited, because everything specific about it is buried in a paragraph of throat-clearing.

What GEO and AEO actually mean

Generative engine optimisation and answer engine optimisation are the practice of making your content usable by systems that answer rather than list. The two terms overlap heavily and people use them interchangeably. What matters is the job: being the source an assistant reaches for when someone asks about your category.

What classic SEO rewards

  • Backlinks and domain authority
  • Keyword coverage and search volume
  • Click-through from a results page
  • Competing for a position in a list

What AI answers reward

  • Claims stated once, clearly, near the top
  • Specific facts: prices, dates, places, numbers
  • Structure a parser can follow without guessing
  • Consistency across everywhere you appear

These are not opposites, and you should not trade one for the other. Most of the work that makes a page quotable also makes it a better page for a human reader, which is usually a sign the work is real rather than a trick.

The thing most sites get wrong

Vagueness. A homepage that says it delivers world-class solutions across the ecosystem gives an assistant nothing to repeat. A homepage that says it roasts small batches every Tuesday in Quezon City and delivers by Thursday gives it a sentence it can quote directly. The second version is also just better writing, which is the point.

The second common failure is contradiction. Your website says one thing, your LinkedIn says another, a directory listing from 2023 says a third. Assistants weigh consistency, and a business that describes itself three different ways is a business they will hedge on or skip.

What we do

  1. Find out what they already say about youBefore changing anything, we ask the assistants directly. What comes back when someone asks about your category, your city, your competitors? Sometimes the answer is nothing. Sometimes it is something wrong that has been repeating for a year.
  2. Fix the claimsWe rewrite the sentences that describe what you do, so each one is specific, checkable and short enough to quote. This is the part that looks like editing and is actually positioning.
  3. Structure for machines and humansHeadings that match real questions, answers that come before the elaboration, schema markup so the facts are labelled rather than inferred, and internal links that make the relationships obvious.
  4. Build the pages that answer questionsAssistants cite sources that address a question directly. We write those pages, in your voice, on the topics your buyers actually ask about.
  5. Make your presence consistentSame description, same specifics, wherever you appear. Directories, listings, profiles, third-party mentions.
  6. Check again, and keep checkingWe re-run the questions monthly. AI visibility moves, and the only honest way to report on it is to keep asking.
worth saying plainly ✎

Nobody can guarantee an AI citation. There is no submission form, no ranking dashboard, no lever to pull. What we can do is remove every reason a model would skip you, then measure what changes. Any agency promising guaranteed AI placement is selling something that does not exist yet.

What you get

Every month

  • Answer-first articles on the questions your buyers ask
  • Schema and structure work across new and existing pages
  • A re-run of the assistant checks, with what moved
  • On-page SEO, because blue links still matter

Once, at the start

  • A baseline of what assistants currently say about you
  • A rewrite of your core claims
  • The three fixes we would make first, and why
  • A plain-language read on where you stand
₱5,000 / month in PH
S$400 / month in SG

That is the Tier 1 founding rate, held for a new client's first three months. Higher tiers add brand strategy, social, website work and paid ads, and are quoted after the audit because what you need depends on what the audit finds.

Who this is for

Businesses in a category people ask questions about. Professional services, B2B software, clinics, studios, suppliers, anything where a buyer researches before they commit. If your customers find you by walking past, this is not your priority and we will say so.

It works best alongside content rather than instead of it. There is no structural trick that makes a thin site quotable; the fastest route to being cited is usually to be genuinely useful about something specific, then make that easy to lift.

Common questions

Is this different from SEO, or just a new name for it?
It overlaps but it is not the same job. SEO competes for a position in a list of links. AI search optimisation aims at being the source an assistant quotes when it answers in prose. Much of the underlying work is shared, which is why we do both rather than selling them separately.
Can you guarantee ChatGPT will mention my brand?
No, and neither can anyone else. There is no submission process and no ranking table. What we can do is remove the reasons a model would pass you over, then measure what changes by re-running the same questions each month.
How long before anything happens?
Assistants pick up changes at different speeds, and some rely on search indexes that need to recrawl you first. Realistically expect six to ten weeks before you see a shift, and treat anything faster as luck rather than a pattern.
How do you measure it if there is no ranking report?
We ask the assistants a fixed set of questions each month and record what comes back: whether you appear, how you are described, and who appears instead. It is not a dashboard metric, but it is honest and it is repeatable.
Do I need to rebuild my website?
Usually not. Most of the work is rewriting claims, adding structure and schema, and publishing pages that answer real questions. If the site itself is the obstacle we will tell you in the audit, and a rebuild sits in a higher tier.
Does this work for a Tagalog or bilingual audience?
Yes. We write in English, Tagalog and the Taglish in between, matched to how your customers actually talk. Bilingual adaptation is available on every tier.
