Make your brand found, cited, and recommended in AI Search.
Search is splitting in two. People still Google things, but more and more, they're asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini directly, and taking the answer at face value.
Why doesn't ranking #1 on Google guarantee visibility anymore?
Ranking #1 no longer guarantees visibility because a growing share of searches now end inside an AI-generated answer instead of a traditional results page.
The opportunity is real and it's early. Most SaaS and B2B companies haven't touched this yet. The cost of waiting isn't a slow decline. It's being invisible in a channel your buyers already trust.
How does Missing Piece Studio's AEO/GEO process actually work?
Our AEO/GEO process runs through seven sequential phases. Starting from auditing where AI engines currently cite your competitors, fixing the technical foundation, restructuring content to be citable, building off-site consensus, and measuring monthly using the same diagnose-first, build-second approach we apply to every web design engagement.
Core Retrieval Audit
We run your actual buyer prompts through ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude to see who's currently getting cited in your category — and map exactly which sources those engines are pulling from.
Technical Foundation
We audit and fix the technical layer that has to be right before anything else works — crawlability, schema markup, Core Web Vitals, mobile performance.
Answer-First Content Structure
We restructure your key pages so every section leads with a direct, citable answer instead of a marketing lead-in — the format AI engines are built to lift and quote.
Off-Site Brand Consensus
We build genuine presence across the platforms AI engines treat as trusted consensus. Think Reddit, YouTube, LinkedIn, and category-relevant communities.
Information Gain & Content Depth
We identify where your content is saying the same thing as everyone else, and replace it with original data, proprietary perspective, and depth AI engines can't get anywhere else.
30-Day Execution Roadmap
Everything above gets sequenced into a day-by-day calendar so it actually ships, instead of sitting in a strategy document.
Measurement & Reporting
We track Share of Voice, AI citations, and referral demand monthly, and adjust the plan as engines and rankings shift.
Who This Is For
A strong fit if
Not a fit if
You're a growth-stage SaaS or B2B service company whose buyers already research using AI tools before they talk to sales
You're pre-revenue or pre-website
You have an existing website with real content on it. This optimizes and restructures, it doesn't start from zero
You're looking for a guaranteed #1 spot in ChatGPT by a fixed date (nobody can honestly sell you that)
You're playing a long game (this compounds over months)
You want a one-time fix rather than an ongoing, measured system
Questions Worth Answering Up Front
Yes, but it's built on top of SEO, not instead of it. Traditional SEO gets you found by search engines. AEO and GEO go further — structuring your content so AI engines can lift it directly into an answer, and building the off-site trust that gets you recommended by name.
Most engagements are structured around a 30-day initial execution sprint, with citation and visibility tracked monthly after that. This is a compounding system, not a switch. Most brands see meaningful movement over a few months of consistent execution.
No, and any agency that promises a specific ranking or citation is overselling. What we deliver is a structured, documented system built on how these engines actually source information, executed consistently and measured monthly so you can see the trend.
No. If your current site has solid content, we build the AEO/GEO layer on top of it. If your site itself is the bigger problem, we'll tell you that honestly during the discovery call — but it's not a prerequisite.
An initial audit and 30-day execution sprint, followed by ongoing monthly tracking and adjustment. Share of Voice, citation counts, and referral demand, reported plainly with next steps each month.
